Neverwinter Mod 16 Cleric Class Overview (partially outdated)

[@barnesk80]

Thank you also for taking the time out to create this video to help us all prepare for this mod.

[@berserker8977]

This moment when u are back after 3+ years break and moth later its time to leave it again LUL

[@moosedawg71]

OMG, exactly! I recently came back to the game too, and got back onto my cleric and was loving it. Once I figured out how to play it again, I instantly remembered why it was my favorite. Everything I loved about it is gone now. No more passive HOT healing - it's all gone. And the new divinity mechanic? OMG I hate it with ever fiber of my being. I miss my pre-16 cleric. RIP my little dwarven cleric.

[@JMDornb]

Have not played since Oct of 16 and not sure if I will be a regular or just a casual log-on-once-in-a-while player (probably the latter). In my opinion you did a fantastic job explaining everything and it was very helpful, especially as I have to re-learn many of the basic in addition to the Mod 16 overhaul. I've watched a few of your videos already and one of the big things I like is your voice is always clear and easy to understand, you know your subject matter (and don't hesitate to say 'I don't know' if you are unsure about something) and you get to the point. Outstanding job!

Thank you for posting this video and keeping us updated :)

[@nicholasmigliaccio291]

Im so confused- All i wanted to do was heal my squadmates effectively- now with a limited pool for heals- and no way to recharge that pool- my cleric seems almost pointless :(

[@rhaege3957]

So I I’ve listened correctly there’s no PowerShare and the only party buff is 3% from AA if you choose the feat.

[@steviegomes3051]

All i see is a big nerf :(

[@Chriz_YFG]

Every mod Cryptic has tried to effect the 2 dc meta, and now they have nerfed my dc into the ground.. Powersharing was UNIQUE to the traditional MMO. Goodbye Neverwinter. I also find it funny that what we needed was more content and instead we get greeted by another cash grab. How many new players do they think are joining Neverwinter? Because all the players I recommended quit within the first couple months.

[@Nod_L3g1oN]

No this is preparation so neverwinter gets released on mobile.SInce they covered the console market now they bringing us this system to release later in time neverwinter for mobile.Since if you look it rationally - neverwinter as a mobile game would take 1st place on market like it did for console.There no real decent MMO on consoles as for neverwinter. Except Monster hunter and 1-2 other what came just recently out.And those games lack that something as a MMO game too.

[@joshuaroldan2858]

I like nothing and hate everything. Astral shield is the epitome of crappie. They took a dc that was always doing something, placing HG hiting DG pop sigil hit AA go divinity 3x DG then bts and now devs are like cast this move and stand there for a few seconds. What a joke.

Silver, considering many of us invested in one paragon only, Anoited in my case, what new paragon would be appropiate to choose so that we are able to minimize the spending as much as possible? Maybe it's an early question but I think it's time to be preparing for this mod since market has already changed towards mod 16.

They messed their game up, hopefully they will work on gradually fixing this when all the complaints roll in. This will take awhile though. Anyway Neverwinter has been around for ages so I'll be waiting for a more playable version to come along like they always do when they make changes.

[@nevarstormdragon]

Will make playing them a lot different compared to current setup. I logged into the test server on my rogue to get a feel and it honestly feels like I'm gaining not losing on stats.

[@chasehoward05]

I like the scales of Judgment. But i HATE the completely unbalanced nature of them just NOT giving an exciting new mechanic to the Arbiter. Scales of Judgment could have been totally been retrofitted to affect heals someway. I mainly play a buff/debuff cleric in a lot of group play and I have been running your MOD 15 AC DC build. I play on ps4 so I havent been able to touch the test servers. What type of paragon would you recommend for mainly group play for die hard Support role lover? any other tips/advice? Is healing as important as the developers try to make it sound?

[@L3O6K9O]

Wow really big changes in the new mod to DC. Yep sounds like heals are garbage kinda. The Dps don't sound to bad. So what are the stats to prioritize in your opinion for Dps DC? And again thanks for the news on the new mod. 😊

[@mamavdesman]

Nice vid.. I really wonder why they did all those changes to the classes.. I mean we only needed more content... not a complete new game.. for me personal, i hate the cw changes, wich is my main.. so if i still play? not sure.. sadly...

Other than that seems like garbage.

[@Aragon-AoC]

What has replaced the recovery stat on gear?? Love the video, thanks a lot for the overview.

[@BlairHerbert1]

Recovery has been replaced by Accuracy, I believe, which reduces the enemies' chance to deflect your attack.

[@adayf]

You cracked me up with that astral shield power, and the intercession one “oh my allies are dying, I better save them - well they’re fine now I’ll go back to whatever I was doing” 😂 😂 Indeed that devout paragon doesn’t look appealing at all. I’ve got a question regarding MC neck gear, does it still increase AP? You think improving AP gain still important on mod16? Thanks 👍

[@zerozero1495]

which enchantment needs of dc?

[@toothlessnightfury1820]

If we look at things, divinity is kind of the same? , we used to build it using at wills but now even encounters build it as well? or we can safely say so?, (it's like directly building stacks of divinity VS creating orbs thingies that can be converted into divinity, right?).. so like powers mostly used with divinity such as daunting light, we always never used them as a raw counter because the radius sucked, now the radius is wider and there is no cd at all so it's the same thing, it may look different but it's the same , so the only difference in my eyes so far is (eg daunting light) we just cast it directly when divinity is built without the need to switch to divinity mode (blue mode thing) , and the empowered stacks? are there and ready already..right? , so the question remains, how much Daunting Light's average fully empowered damage was in the past compared to now?, because Daunting Light as it seems it can be cast like 6 times when divinity bar is full? (Divinity maxed at 1000 and Daunting Light costs 180!).. can someone clear things out about it please?

Forgemasters flame does damage. Well that would be good, if you were only fighting one enemy at a time. Sunburst isn't enough to deal with em. Then they're most likely spread out too much to make daunting useful for an AoE. Then you just stand around building your divinity back. This will be annoying as shit to grind with. Any sane person would complete all campaigns on live before this hits.

wait now, after math and some feat tweaks, it looks like rotation [Lance-Forgemaster (25% chance 1 more Forgemaster) + Lance-Sunburst-Forgemaster + Lance-Divine -Forgemaster] = 4 spams of double damage with a tier 1 encounter power aka Forgemaster Flame!, at least in multi target environment. btw that requires only 1200 divinity and divinity caps at 1150!, do they intend on making DC the top single target dps this time?!, cause that's freaking insane wth!, what class in Neverwinter's history had the ability to spam 200% 4 times?!.

[@Omar_ToxicBanana1701]

I think I can follow this rotation but the first part of it is wrong, Forge doesn't give burning judgement so it can not activate itself, also Divine Glow has a 30 sec cd.

[@MrEmilicious]

@@Omar_ToxicBanana1701 yes I guess, my bad. well so it's like 3 times to 3 times and a half instead of 4 times, like equal to 7 Forgemasters in 10 seonds!, as for Divine's cd ,I don't think that battle can last 30 seconds with that much damage tbh.

[@babysnowowl]

Thank you so much for this video. Look at Forgemasters go!!! I like Arbiter. But I agree some of those damage stats need to be here and not in Devout being that they are giving us the more legitimized option of being DPS or Healing. I also dislike the movement issue with Astral Shield. I need to moving... no time to stand still and wait for a channel. I wish Devout was better... I like Arbiter but I think of what my team may need and compared to other DPS classes, I hope Arbiters are useful enough because I don't like the looks of Devout. I see you are discussing stats in the video for 3/8 so I won't ask now :P I'm a little bummed recovery was replaced with Accuracy because I don't think I can make use of my silveries and I had ranked 4 of them up to 14 a month ago :( ofc I can sell them but gosh darn... is accuracy going to be important?

[@nazzradan]

I like the new judgment mechanic and I think the damage kit has great potential but it lacks a lot of synergy, by synergy I mean in situations like the first feat where the at wills give you burning judgment and they enhance a power that gets enhanced by radiant judgment, so you just keep stacking burning judgment, the feats are too restrictive and 3 of them make you use certain encounters invalidating build choices, also heavy sun is a big feat but its not working if it did it could "fix" the burning judgment stacks. Great video

If I'm stuck channeling I'd rather be able to move and move the spot I'm channeling to. Be a little less boring that way. Shoot, let me channel with one hand and still cast abilities with the other, even if it was at half power, something to make it interesting, multitasking, rather than plop down and do nothing.

[@HiThere-mr5tt]

I was really upset about all this, BUT i logged onto the test server, sorted my toon out - and then went and solo'd KR with no probs - Don't panic peeps, it's all good. I have a couple of issues - nothing major, like - I (like everyone else) upgraded SIX Radiants to r14 for my pet to use. Now pets can only use Runestones - so hopefully they have a vendor where you can trade Enchants for the same level of Runestone if you desire when the final mod hits. Otherwise it would seem they are happy to let peeps spend Millions upon Millions of AD to get pet enchants to rank 14 and then switch it to Runestones with no exchange? Wasted time, and in some peeps cases, wasted money. If they don't sort that - i'm not gonna be a happy camper, but other than that - i'm ok with it. I can solo CN on the regular server, but i haven't tried that on test server because i can already tell that i won't be able to, KR wasn't 'Hard' to solo on preview server, but I feel that CN would be trying to push it.

[@HiThere-mr5tt]

That being said, me and a OP tried to duo CN and were killed immediately by the greeting mob past the gate. Over and Over... but then just for fun, we wanted to check out the new level 80 Mad Mage's Lair dungeon to see what it looks like inside and ended up duoing it all the way to the Foyer with no probs, we only stopped because it was ridiculously late at night and we only wanted to see what it looked like. - Sooo, apparently they have some work to do on the 'scaling' aspects of everything... cuz that makes absolutely no sense, then again, it's only the preview server and is a work in progress.

[@lawrenceshafer4171]

I am so tired of seeing good games get "updated" into something that should be a separate game. WOW did this to the point where its unrecognizable from where it started to where it is now. They consistently dumb'd the game down and made it so that the players had very little individualization (all fighters are now pretty much the same). Why the Devs of Neverwinter would look at that and go "Hey we should do that too" is beyond comprehension. Why make their game more like another when its the differences that made this game stand out. As for "Mod 16 itself with regard to the DC: it made a difficult class to solo pretty much unsoloable. The new mechanic is ridiculous and over engineered. A simple cool down would have sufficed (like the other classes). Also in combat to have to stop everything to sit and TAB to recharge has no flow and makes no sense. Again, simple cool downs would suffice and would eliminate the player from having to make extra key stokes that waste time. I agree with the others; this will be the death of my DC when it rolls live.

[@Catson91]

(sorry for cussing, kinda mad for these changes) this mod is so sad, RIP neverwinter Feels so slow, sluggish very low APM, nothing u do has any impact on grps, its no fun to play, borring as fuck. 1 power does exactly 1 thing only, compared to the diferent effect of skills (with/without stacks or with divinity) once u run out of divine while in cmbat, there is nothing else u can do but just hold tab trying to load feats are a fucking joke, first one is worthless to use, because requries to use fire skill to buff fire skill, but when u do that u wont get Judgement bonus dmg modifier thing. If this shit goes on live, it will be now just single meta, and thats it, right now u can use diferent feats and skills dpeending what u want, with mod 16, u cant. I sincerely hope they won't commit game suicide, spent too much time on money on it already.
