Subject: tanks and cleric only weapons


You know, it's funny. We have this thread about being a tank vs.
being a healer as a cleric, and then we see this cleric only weapon
and it basically screams, "be a tank!" I mean, yaulp III, and the
stats are mightily impressive. So, it would seem that Verant wants
us to be a tank. Otherwise, it would have had moderate damage but
like some really good effect like the cleanse effect of the SSOL but
have like +20 wisdom or something impressive.
