Over the last few months, Ten Ton Hammer has href="http://www.tentonhammer.com/aion" target="_blank">brought
you the in-depth details
– straight from the mouths of the developers at NCsoft
– concerning the
eight major classes in Aion, NCsoft’s upcoming fantasy-themed
MMO.
Today we continue our interview series with the Cleric class! Again, we
sat down with Associate Producer Lani Blazier, and she gave us all the
info we desired regarding the playability of the Cleric in groups,
solo, and even some strategies on how to excel with this particular
healer. Check it out!

Ten
Ton Hammer: Throughout various games, healers have been notoriously
difficult to solo because their damage output tends to be low. How has
Aion avoided this pitfall? Will the Cleric be a viable choice for
soloing?

Lani: The Cleric is absolutely, unequivocably viable when
soloing. In my opinion, it’s easy to solo with a Cleric. It
just takes
a little longer to down a monster because, yes, a Cleric’s
damage per
second is lower. However, if you are having a problem soloing with a
Cleric, you have missed the most fundamental thing about your character
being a Cleric—it can heal itself.
