Smiting  

Is it true that you can only use a mez spell once per mob? Meaning, I have to mobs on me and I mez one while whacking the other.. time uns out on the mez, but Im still not done with the first mob. Can I re-mez the 2nd guy again?

i somewhat disagree with the healing in RvR thing if you have a lower level getting targeted then it is tru there is no point but if you have high level tanks in yer group you can keep em alive for quite a while using both the heals and quickheal shouts. The other day i had a lvl 44 armsman in my group and in one battle i put all my mana + shouts into him. This basicall gave him about 4 lives as he was getting pummeled from all directions. He walked through about 6 guys. It really changed the outcome of that battle. Had i smited he would have dropped fairly quick and i would have been next in short order.

recast time is not 20 minutes, more like 30 seconds

As a reasonably specced smite cleric, at 26 I was 14 in rej, 10 in enchancement and 19 smite (22 with level 25 epic hammer +3 smite).

The tactic to soloing, if thats your bag is your armour. Get your af as high as possible, which will allow you to practically melee yellows to death with very little extra help needed from nukes.

Regarding multiples. The best strategy by far when you get multiples if you ask me is to ae mez, then back up a few steps and ae nuke the one you are fighting. You will lose a little over all damage for taking substancially less damage from 2 critters attacking you at once.

For the person who asked, mesmirise will stop an undamaged critter (once damaged they will not be affected by it), for a set period of time. You can mez again (although its on a 30 second timer), however the second duration will be half the normal length, and the 3rd mez will not hit them at all.

While I don't consider myself a battle cleric, by any means, I manage to hold my own pretty well. Spec'd at 9/5/7 and playing carefully, I solo yellows all day long. I've taken 2 blues at once and lived to tell the tale, though once, a third got me in the end.
Trick is to be at very edge of range and you should get minimum 2, but really 3 smites in on mob while he's incoming. by that point, if he's not down by a third, you've got a battle on your hands. this is where your instants come in, and your pre-applied buffs. Drive Evil is a sweet ace-in-da-hole, but you have got to have your Hammer (Blessed or of Pious) on to stand a good chance. Wait until you've cast (or been interrupted) your third smite before entering combat mode, and look-see if any other than your targeted mob is incoming. If not, DE him and wail. If so, wait till other is also in range and DE them both, it don't dilute with more than one, don't worry...they all get a face full!

This is a solo tactic that's worked quite well for me. Groups call for different tactics and usually it's best not to spend power on anything but healing your tanks, depending on group make-up. Too often, I find that I'm the tank in my groups, go figure! In that instance, I always like to have another healer along, but I try to make certain it's not absolutely necessary.

Just my 2c

those damage scales are way off as well, my direct damage with 17 smite spec is closer to 95-120 on yellows. I believe its called greater holy rage but i dont see that one listed either

Whats it mean by mesmerized, whats the exact effect...like stunned for a couple secs?
