Sun Cleric

Theme

The Sun was one of the very first ways in which primitive peoples communed with the Holy Light. Religious leaders of ancient times were known to draw power from this great entity to perform minor miracles and healing, but its true power was never realised. Just in recent times, some priests of Azeroth have been visited by a powerful Valkyrie spirit, said to hail from the Sun itself. Many of these priests abandoned their previous methods of divinity and turned to the path of Sun Worship. These Sun Clerics formed their own sect, as masters of Holy and Sun magic, and some even took the Valkyron Oath, filling their bodies with the strength of the sun and giving them the power to defend their allies from harm.

Now, the Horde and Alliance call upon the once ridiculed Sun Clerics to aid their former factions as war breaks loose across the world. As the ultimate war priests, Sun Clerics make for a useful asset to the armies of Azeroth.

Gameplay

Sun Clerics build stacks of an effect called Solar Power that increases damage and healing by a small amount for 2 minutes. Subsequent stacks do not refresh the duration, so there is a clear build phase that can be manipulated.

Sun Clerics are very, very powerful single target and group healers, but they can also use their Holy magic to smite down enemies.

Taking the Valkyron Oath awards the cleric with a rage bar and the ability to wield shields and heavy armor. This allows the Sun Cleric to be built as a front-line warrior using Holy and Fire magic and the power of the sun.

Some Sun Clerics also invoke the powers of Anubisath and sand magic.
