4 archers and 1 elementalist. Granted we were dps heavy none of us have HP in the 10k mark doing a lvl 130 dungeon, we got it done though. Because Im pro status
I am going to make a post about it when i’ve conquered the 240 dungeon but so far i have been able to do every dungeon up to 175 without a healer.
A certain member of the cleric forums thinks that any cleric build that doesn’t go cleric c2 is worthless because of a “lack of sustained healing”, despite the fact that every dungeon has been completed without any cleric at all. Pretty short sighted.
Happened on my Cataphract the other day, we were down one person when the instance took us in, then another left.
Ended up 3 maning it no problem. At 130+, missions are pretty much a joke, you seriously don’t need a healer for them unless you can’t avoid any attack from a boss for whatever reason.
I always wondered, when someone leaves a mission like that, does it count as a mission run for the day for them?
Isn’t C2 mostly for Earth Tower?
It varies from the team’s matchup by classes a lot (and the player’s motivation ofc)
I’ve run countless dungeons and missions successfully without a healer on my cryo-chrono (L159). Mostly because of the CC (kudos for icetree, snowball and Icewall) and ofc motivated players on my party. It took longer, it was more expensive due to potion, and you had to deal with 1-2 deaths at times… but (!) it was possible to finish.
Now, missions without a healer aren’t much a problem if you know how to dodge the bosses main attacks. You can kite them easily, most melee can back-dmg.
BUT, it wasn’t always that lucky. I also had quitters, afkers and slackers in parties, which cba to even try.
On my cleric (L110) I encounter the opposite. I end up being matched with least 2 other cleric-classes. EVERYTIME! I even had partys with 4 cleric-types and 1 range (Wiz & Archers-types) several times now. Sometimes due to the lack of dps (especially with 4 support clerics / priests), you simply end up just rushing the boss.
So, party matchmaking is a huge troll.
Yes. It counts as an entry when you enter the mission. You can also re-enter again if you get disconnected(It doesnt count reconnecting back).
One time I “re-entered” some other party I’ve never seen before who had already cleared the dungeon and were fighting the boss.
After I got my talt I “re-entered” to my original party again.
And yeah I was at 2/2 after entering twice. The price of a d/c?
Cleric 2 is taken for more tiles, that’s it. It’s good for everything. 5 tiles is pretty lack luster, especially if the cleric has low con the tiles heal next to nothing.
A healer / tanker isnt a must in a dungeon/mission, its good to have them but not 100% needed, i manage to clear a dungeon with 5 archers all with low hp 
, even cleared missions with no healer no tanker … People gotta chill with dem ragequits
Some of my smoothest runs have been with a party of 5 wizards. 1 Linker and 1 Cryo, everyone else just splode all over the mobs.
Reading this i actually feel bad about having finished some mission with full healer’s party with the random matchmaking tool…
Yesh yes, Archers and Wizards every where😃
Every time I queue as Cleric I get at least one other healer. Never had 5/5, though.
I understand why you take Cleric 2. I said cleric 2 is mostly taken because you need it in earth tower.
Call me whatever you want, I quit =/
I really dont find fun go through a 1 hour misson dying 10 times, broken all my equips (and pay a fortune to fix them) and maybe lose some gems
Sorry, but I quit and try to find another match =/
Dud go play any mmorpg thst have tank healer and dps in them.go in to dungeon have no healer and see were you get.
In this game you can go much longer but you will do the dungeon for somthing like 40 or even 50 min.
At this point you lose exp and silver on this run.
But hey you dont even need 5 people to do the run if you so good you dint need a healer.
This isnt other MMOs. Healing has a high cd to begin with.
Have you ever considered the thought that some classes already have to spend a lot of silver just to maintain buffs?
You cant say this is not other mmo if tos do have healers and tanks.you can say gw2 is not like this as they dont have healers and tanks.
Yes some classes spend more silver for skills. If this class have no healer for thee run they spend even more.
So if you dont like that people dont want to do a run for 50 min dont cry that you dont want a run of 4 or 3 players.
There are people on this board, specifically one person who attempted to make a “beginner” cleric guide, who refused to list any build that did not include Cleric2 because “not enough healing”.
I honestly have no idea what builds will be required to conquer earth tower, but it shouldn’t matter for people trying to make a build for fun or their first character.
After just starting 90 dungeons I am finding 65% of groups do not have a healer and some no tank. This is life
