Friar Bnutz here, at your service. On my journey across the wastes of Drangleic, I cross paths with many a weary traveler who may require my assistance. At times, grievous injuries may require mending or my companions may just need a boon to their abilities. My Faith requires me to recall and chant certain prayers during the heat of battle to Heal or provide Replenishment to my allies and at times requires me to lash out with the wrath of the gods towards my enemies.

This land of Drangleic is familiar yet strange. My incantations and hymns seem to have naught effect on my allies. Tell me, are there other warriors of Faith who have experienced a lack of reply from the deities? Have thou Healed or Replenished with any success in other worlds?

(OOC: Do any of the Faith-based Miracles, or Estus Flasks for that matter, seem to have any effect on other players in online play? I'm not sure if the numbers just aren't displaying and I don't have time to stand there and watch health meters tick or what, but it seems like I am not able to heal other players.)

Yes, mircales can heal other players - but they have to be within range. I haven't messed with them too extensively, but it seems like a relatively short distance.

How is a cleric build for PvE? I'm looking to focus on melee while having a few spells to wield. May do a little jolly co-operation should the chance arise, but ultimately I'm looking to be the most badass cleric in the realm!
