If they are able to equip shields in help aiding with damage mitigation would be a positive aspect of going STR and these are just suggestions to prompt ideas of new things. As responded in another post different versions of rose use different stats for buffs/heals etc. formerly INT was the stat I knew to increase healing and buff potency so that is my reference point.

Different versions of Rose use different stats to increase buff potency. I don’t remember which version used which but I believe NARose used Int for buffs whereas iRose used CHA. & comparing womens rights to vote to an in game character’s stat distribution and play style is irrelevant context that does nothing to support wanting a GAME CLASS that had no social scrutiny placed on it as a valid argument. Offer better solution’s than blank posts about. My suggestions were to enhance different aspects of game diversity something you are clamoring poorly about.

Having build diversity based on stats and equipment could be an interesting direction for the game. Champions that want to tank while doing decent damage could go STR/SEN(or some other stat) while a pure damage Champ could go STR. Individual builds would be more suited to play style and creates even more diversity in builds. Other classes can use this same approach IE the Cleric. DEX/INT- DPS Cleric STR(or SEN)/INT - Tank Cleric INT Pure- Buff Cleric. These are just a few ideas I think could be interesting.

Removing some of clerics buffs does kill solo aspect. While also shifting buffs to be more class specific does nothing except change the dual client aspect to the class that offers the most useful damage buffs. In this case probably soldiers. Which then becomes a cleric soloing with a soldier mule for the remaining buffs they lack. It kinda doesn’t change any of those perspectives in the grand scheme of things. edit* - I think an interesting way to change up the Cleric is to add build diversity. With 3 or more options. If I build a STR/INT cleric I have a cleric with good buffs and tanking capabilities that can act as a frontline to allow for Champions and Knights to provide big DPS or barrier support capabilities from a knight, while doing great damage. Second would be a DEX/INT cleric. This build would provide extra attack speed and movement speed with great damage and decent support capabilities from a cleric. This would act as a DPS cleric. & finally a pure INT cleric build could act as a healer and buff member, this build allows for Solo-building with the dual client. Having options as a cleric would be really enjoyable and a good way to diversify the class.

Just watched the Alpha live stream. Hyped for the game to come back. However as a cleric main it really pains me to hear the classes defining features are being gutted. It was awesome being able to stack up your friends to help with leveling progression. But without their buffing tools they become a heal bot. /: I understand the switch to making them more active party members, but that changes their function into basically a second mage which I think is redundant Its kind of deterring me from playing the game when it releases again.
