Well my secondary is a cleric so let me chime in...

I am kind of torn on this. I think there needs to be better alternatives to
clerics to imporve EQ at high levels. BUT, from my cleric's perspective,
druids and shamans get a lot of nice spells that we don't get. So there has
to be a big difference in our healing ability to make up for it.

Both classes get SOW, which makes life so much better.
Druids get ports. Nuff said...
Shamans get haste/slow which in can compensate greatly for a lack of
healing.
Druids can solo effectively.
Both get regens.

Clerics get nothing in those fields.

Also shamans and druids can deal damage much better than a cleric can
(through DOT's DD's, Dam Shields, etc...)

I agree with the poster who said complete heal wa sprobably not a good idea.
It was fine when lvl 50 was the max, since you're tanks HP could get too out
of hand. Now with lvl 60 tanks, lvl 60 buffs and better equipment, the
spell is unbalancing. And it lives Verant in a quandry. Mobs that are
meant to be challenging could become comically easy for a group with a
warrior/cleric, or mobs that are meant to be challenging could become
impossible for a group without.

Now what to do about it? Improving druid/shaman healing is probably good
for the game. But where does it leave clerics?

This is similar to the bard/enchanter discussion about mez. I think their
solution to it was fine.. Bards (especially once you get SoT) are a
tolerable replacment for an enchanter, but definitly not even close to
equal. WIth the current healing issue I hope they do the same.
