Cleric — Affinities

This is the affinity I use, I love it. It has a CC / Agro management focus. The most powerful ability is Truce, a complete agro wipe (like Mass Amnesia from Psionicists and that one from Rogues I don't remember the name). You also has a NPC agro wipe that will not work on nameds, but its great for SoD named runs.
You also receive a AoE agro reduce, macroing it with the normal cleric agro reducer gives the best agro reducer in game in my opinion (best from the bards cause this reduces for 70%, and bards is only 35%).

• Quest Location: Cleric Trainer- His Elegance, Raoul in New Targonor (In the King's room).

Stance:

Abilities

• Absolution: Calms all opponents within 10m of you, reducing hate
• Blessing of Tranquility I: Causes your ally's attacks to generate 30% less hatred
• Durance: Roots yours target for 60 seconds
• Edict of Peace I-IV: Pacifies your target and reduces the damage you receive by 150
• Ethereality: Invisibility for 10 minutes
• Penitence: Eliminates target's hatred of others and reduces aggro range
• Power of Peace I-V: Reduces your opponent's hatred of you by 375-399 on every hit
• Truce: All enemies will forget your previous actions

I used this for very long, its great for leveling your cleric. You will get some new finishers which are more powerful then the normal cleric one. You also get more short term buffs that allows you to reach 20k+ hits (and you, as a cleric, may agree that this is a lot for us).
You also get a new stance that increases your damage and block, its good, but the heal reducer is insane, so most of the time you will end up using the normal DPS stance (common to all clerics).

Good affinity, useful for raids. The most powerful ability is the shield it can put on any defensive target. It will reduce the damage taken for 50% for 20 seconds, its really good. It also gives you another invulnerability and another stance.
