Smite doesnt rock again, but i cba to explain why.

it actually does more damage per second than it did before the nerf but with longer range.

The mezz is still dead... the aoe still casts slow.. the pbaoe etc. is as bad as it was nerfed to...

they had heals, defence and offence before...
now they're heals and offence.

Thats the main problem..

it actually does more damage per second than it did before the nerf but with longer range.

The 43 single target smite or the whole of the single target line?
If its the whole of the line, its slightly better.

The power usage hasnt been changed, it was bad pre-nerf, but even worse post because it done less damage.

They should of restored the mes timer to its former time and left well enough alone imo.

They have forced the smite cleric to solo, because by the time enough smites have been let off to kill the target, there wont be enough mana to heal everyone who needs healing in a normal rvr battle.

hmm yeah forgot about the power costs.

The 3s casting time means you do 33% extra damage.
(4 casts in 12 seconds instead of 3)

the old damage was about 20% above the current stuff...

43 smite is way better than it was

(cept for power and mezz of course)

That said the spec smite ain't as bad as base for power? or am I imagining things?

The range increase should help too. No need to run halfway to their front line before you can cast.

So after all that..........

After looking at all the feedback and talking to various players, we've decided to not include the cleric changes in 1.59. As the changes are, they seem to be somewhat overpowering, so we need to be a little cautious. We appreciate all the help testing this patch. We are still going to look at the clerics, and we're still going to work with our various cleric friends, we're just not sure that this was the best thing we could do.

Do you really expect anything else anymore, i know i dont.

wonder if the 1.60 changes will make it live...

taking bets... 1000 to 1...

(and it'll be

omfg smite almost rocks!!111 as long as you have a mincer powerbot or a sorcerer along with raging power, mcl 3 and serenity 5

)

tempted to try smite/enhance for a laugh too
