Yes, you'd be surprised how many rounds of centaurs I can do in a day. Blame Zagar for getting your damage spell nerfed in the Neidar fights years ago. I'd gladly lose firepower for the ability to heal and cleanse. Oh, but from the smell of your posts, you want to have it all right? You're a cleric. Everyone knows your guild is weak and underpowered -- this will be addressed and you will be brought into line with the new caster guilds -- but you are still a cleric, and your firepower will never match that of a purely offensive-minded guild.
I'm not going to get into internal guild politics, as it is none of your business. If a Mage is after you, it's because you were warned, usually several times, and you failed to listen. This isn't the Vampires guild. Theoretical power, combined with what you think you know, does not equate to real power used everyday. The Mages have survived for so long in their current form because of the checks and balances and penalties in place by the Admin. Why is it you feel entitled to know what they are? There are things I want removed from our arsenal, as I even mentioned in game to Gorboth yesterday. The power we may or may not hold comes from a lot of work that, as many have said before, players for the most part aren't willing to put in.
