A PC shaman. Instead of saying it, I said she ;-)

That should of gave it away ;p (I'm not a Verant coder, hah!)

All priest classes would fall this way to a bard.

Bring up elemental rhythms with a drum, and pixie them, twisting
in L40 dispel song, it takes about 30 seconds of pixie/dispel to
rip down all those buffs they put on before your fight.

Once their buffs are gone, pixie/drain them.

Then pixie/vov them... priests classes have about 1k hp base
with all their buffs stripped away and very low ac (around 700).
Basically they get reamed pretty quickly, it only takes about
2 mins to melee them dead.

Clerics like to Flash of Light alot, but since my base MR is above
60 it never sticks. However, you cannot let clerics get stuns off
on you, and you cannot let them heal. They are by far the most
challenging of the priest classes.

Druids, followed by Shamans, illustrate the weak end.

Harmonic.
