| Sep 7, 2018 at 19:32 | comment | added | András | @Xirema let me clarify my point: Sorcerers significantly outperform Clerics in combat, so for balance they should be equally behind in other areas. If we have to closely investigate whether a Sorcerer is better at healing than a Life Cleric, it is too good. It should be clearly behind even a War Cleric. | |
| Sep 7, 2018 at 14:49 | comment | added | Xirema | It's also worth noting that Aura of Vitality uses a Bonus action to proc the effect, whereas Healing Spirit only requires a Bonus Action to move its effect, and the fact that actually proccing the effect of Healing Spirit can be done for free, on multiple creatures. In an ideal scenario, Healing Spirit is much better than Aura of Vitality, with Aura of Vitality only winning out in situations where the party is constantly scattered and where Action Economy isn't an issue. | |
| Sep 7, 2018 at 14:47 | comment | added | Xirema | Bearing in mind that Aura of Vitality does not scale with Spell Slot level, the only time a Sorcerer using Aura of Vitality will out-heal a Life Cleric is at levels 5-6, for the simple reason that the Sorcerer can Extend the duration of the spell to 2 minutes (and even then, it'll be really close: 2d6 for 2 minutes vs 2d6+5 for 1 minute). After that point, the Life Cleric can just use a higher level spell slot for Healing Spirit, and easily out-heal the Sorcerer regardless of their extended duration. | |
| Sep 7, 2018 at 14:36 | comment | added | András | @Xirema, Life Clerics are the epitome of healing, they are not meant to compete with sorcerers in this regards, especially as they are far behind in combat usefulness | |
| Sep 7, 2018 at 14:33 | comment | added | Xirema | Personally, I wouldn't worry about Aura of Vitality. Life Clerics have access to the (generally superior) Healing Spirit, which would, at the bare minimum, allow them to compete with Aura of Vitality, and in most situations, do far better. | |
