[QUOTE="kenmarable, post: 3439862, member: 40359"] Same here. In fact, except for the occassional Big-Grand-All-Session-Battle, we have rarely had a cleric casting buffs and heals during combat. If we're lucky and see combat coming, we'll do buffing beforehand. And in most cases, we just soak up the damage, and then crawl to the healer once the foes have been vanquished (or chug a potion if we need healing in the middle of battle). So cleric as "support only" isn't their necessary role. Back to the original topic, I'll also give a recommendation for getting the SCAP hardcover.
