In the world of MMORPG gaming, certain character classes tend to get short shrift, viewed by other factions of gamers as somehow inherently inferior, because of their aversion to heavy artillery or spectacular magical powers. One such class is the healer, who occasionally attract up-turned noses of derision due to some long-standing edict that all healers are worthless pacificists who have limited function beyond their healing skills. They are a necessity, rather than a flair pick. But now, Rift developers Trion Worlds have released a new video profiling the Cleric Calling, that puts paid to that image of the healer. Known for their infinite wisdom and unyielding faith, the Clerics of Telara are a versatile group, comfortable in support roles or doling out damage with the best DPSers. http://youtu.be/Kki1vQT4sxc That's one kick-ass healer. More so even than House. If you're new to the game, the developers describe it thusly:
Adventure in the world of Telara as either a noble Guardian or technomagical Defiant and enter a dynamic fantasy where 8 primal forces battle for control in an ever-changing landscape. Build your own class using the Ascended Soul system, embark on epic conflicts that bring you into the story, battle others in exhilarating Player vs. Player combat, achieve new heights of power by tackling epic raids, and so much more.
