Indeed, my DM sometimes despairs when I bust out my full healing power in the heavier encounters.With the coming of Divine Power, I actually feel compelled to take up some invoker powers (through either multi-class or hybrid), since with Healer's Mercy, Astral Seal, and a couple of other new powers, you can give a cleric a bit too much healing. Add to that that our party is damage-light (fighter, wizard, warlock, paladin, cleric; the paladin player lost his rogue character last session), and I fear that encounters could go for a very long time if one character does not contribute to the damage dealt at all.</blockquote>
