Cleric Feat Question


Pathfinder Online

So, I actually played a Wizard this Alpha up to level 10; I don't think this role is for me. Cleric is my next hope, but I find myself confused on something: Crusader is a required feat to level up as a Cleric, which requires heavy armor for the keywords. But what about the Evangelist? Perhaps I want to go more of the healer or buffer type Cleric instead of being so melee focused, why do I have to waste points in Crusader?

TL;DR

Why is the Crusader feat mandatory for Clerics?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT:

And now I also see the Glory domain is required to level also. I'm not sure I understand why as Sarenrae would be the deity I wish to worship and according to what I've read her designated domains in Pathfinder Online are Sun and Fire?

Color me confused.

Glory is required because testing roles, as far as I know Glory is the only one working right now. Once gods/domains are functioning well, it could be changed (it was said somewhere/sometime ago) for the variety of domains.

IDK about Crusader, maybe it's the same case.

Thank you, that certainly clears that up.

You've run into Evoker in your Wizard run. Crusader's in the same boat: they don't yet have the "OR" code working, so they locked Alpha--so far--to one set of requirements rather than being able to allow players to choose.

It is expected that at EE class advancement will require any one armor feat and any one role feature, in addition to the attack and defense bonuses.

Saiph, I have a question for you.

Were you able to use a Wizard's Spellbook with 1st-5th level spells? If not, then you might not have gotten the full experience of Wizard 1-10.

Hey Decius, can you elaborate on this for me? I think you're saying that in EE I will be able to choose Evangelist or Crusader and an armor feat unlike in Alpha 7.1 where it was locked for me?

Is that right?

No I did not, in fact I couldn't really grasp how things were working whilst playing, I haven't had time to study over feats and roles. I tried cramming all the knowledge I could from the guides and stuff for the 2 days of Alpha; that didn't work out too well for me!

I think the biggest thing was trying to understand if I was doing things wrong or if what I was doing was right but wasn't yet coded correctly in Alpha, if that makes sense?

Yes, that's right.

The Cleric Armor Feats are:

  • Crusader
  • Evangelist
  • Healer

The Cleric Feature Feats are:
  • Charm Domain
  • Fire Domain
  • Glory Domain
  • Luck Domain
  • Protection Domain
  • Strength Domain
  • Sun Domain
  • Travel Domain
  • Trickery Domain
  • Water Domain
  • Weather Domain

Once they get the "or" tech working, the Cleric level Achievements will require particular levels of any Armor and any Feature, rather than the specific ones currently required.

Cheatle just gave me an amazing tutor session in TeamSpeak.

I'm good to go now!
