WOW ... Did i say WOW ? You just made my choice oh so much harder .. The Druids sound so yummy all that utility and support , slightly disappointed I did not see the ability to resurrect ( maybe i missed it ) .
Shamans what can I say perfect as usual :) .
I felt both the Shaman and the Druid have so much flavor to them .. ( I dont play clerics so they look okay :P )
Oh and Yes fantastic newsletter this month :):):)
Great newsletter, thank you!
I love the direction the classes are heading, each one unique and playable in groups and raids.
I was just discussing this in P99 a few days ago with another player. He was upset, like many of us were back in EQ when certain classes were frowned upon in end game groups. I assured him that in Pantheon all classes would be viable and useable all the way through the game levels to include end game.
With each class reveal what VR has told us about all classes being viable is being reinforced.
Thanks to all the team for this!
so, does conviction allow a cleric to cast heal while gliding/jumping/flying?
I've said it before, but I absolutely love the near-realistic look your team is taking with character models. I don't want to say photo realistic because orcs don't really exist. But if they did, you certainly make them look in game like they would look.
There’s too many WoW/cell-shaded/anime art MMO’s out there. I’m glad you are going a different direction with it.
Bravo!
WOW what a great update. If Bard is not at launch I want to roll a Cleric, Druid or Summoner. Cleric was last in line on that but after this update I am having a hard time picking between Cleric or Druid. Love the interplay of skills on all 3 classes. Will make it a skill based thing where someone playing can shine by how they use spells to make other spells more poweful. Hats off and keep up the great work =-)

I imagine it simply prevents stuns and interrupts from stopping a heal from going off, the other conditions of casting would still need to be met.
It prevents outside forces from preventing casting is how I interpret it so far.
HOLE-EE-SQURRIEL DINGLEBERRIES! I have found my main. The Druid and EVERYTHING about it sounds amazing. Reverberation!! Storm Keeper! Call Lightning! Upheaval!! Thunderpaw's Resilience!.. and Vinewoven Bridge!! WTF?? This isn't your Momma's Druid anymore!
Can't wait to get into Alpha and play this game.
Great job team. You have revived my faith in the MMO.
I'm pretty set on playing as a Cleric but having a fluffy white fox as a companion or a wolf/bear pup makes it hard not to want to stray. I love all three of the healers they all seam to have their places in a group and I can imagine playing all of them and being happy. Still think I will be sticking to my cleric though I will just be jealous of all the companions druids and shamans get.
Fantastic news letter with a great Q&A, lovely class reveals, awesome preview of giants and lore. Can't ask for much more! Other than perhaps a PA3 stream or two to show off the new dire lord, ranger and paladin!
I do wish that the cleric preview also told us which skills need Celestial Power to be used/cast.

Remember these reveals are not an exhaustive list of all that class's abilities. They can only reveal so many or that would ruin part of the fun :P But fortunately in my PAX interview with Joppa, he said that currently the plan was for all healers to have their own unique type of rez.
Not a fan of Shammy, looks interesting but just not my flavor. Druid looks really kool but cleric is my choice of healer. Wish there was more interesting abilities/spells for them though. Seems a little flat compared to the other two, not on a functionality standpoint just no really "wow" factor type items.

I dunno, being able to place that gigantic impassable shield wall and move it around as needed is pretty interesting. You can bet the top Clerics are going to learn how to manipulate that. Plus, Clerics get an ultimate pull spell with that lull that makes any mob that isn't directly attacked passive. That's even better than the pacify line of spells in EQ1. And then you have the fact they turn into wizards against the undead, which is always fun.
