Cleric tip
Thank you for taking the time to write this. I knew most of it by experience from other MMOs, but I didn't know anything about game-specific details. I'll be sure to put those advices to good use.

Yes, but a talented cleric will start healing himself as soon as his health goes under 3/4 then DPS again until his health goes under 3/4 again. Healers who wait at the very last second to heal (this also goes with all other classes who wait untill they are almost dead to take a pot or do something...) themselves don't know how to play their class and are indeed subject to strategies like saving abilities fellowed by mass CC and DPS at the end. Only DPS classes (and there again, it depends which ones) can kill a competent healer efficiently. Any1 that has experience in MMOs knows tanks just can't beat COMPETENT healers and I suppose...I suppose another healer could win but healer vs healer fights usually end in a draw due to both fighters being bored to death.
And this is not even speaking about the cleric's CC abilities. I don't think there's anything to do to beat a cleric 1v1 if you're not a sorc, a sm or a ranger. The wisest choice in that case would be to just flee.
