Ok hers my write up on pros and con's of the chanter.

1st id like to say chnater is not a main healer class if u think that u have got chnater all wrong.

its a mele dps class that can heal if push comes to shove.

pro's:

chnater has 0 down time in solo pve it can kill for ever whit out having to rest or even use mana potions,

wich makes this one of the games fastest solo lvler(spiritmaster might beat it).
wep wise you will be using a 2 handed staff and put out a disant amount of mele dmg.

as chanter is the games buff class u start of whit the same buffs as a cleric wich is 10% more def and more hp buff,

but you soon get ya 1st mantras.
mantras are buffs wich are raid wide inside a serten aera starts at 25 yards and pasivly gets larger as u grow in lves.

this mantras come in forms of more atk power more spel boost ,movement speed.def-parry-avoidence,flight speed,hp regain ones,mpregain ones,stun root etc ressit .and many many more.

wich makes solo lvling even more fun and easyer to do.

in grps chanter wil have the role as a off healer/meledps not just dose it bring lots of buffs to the group but it has the most de-buff's of any outher class as wel.

example all here mele skils lover atk speed p-def etc etc and she even has skils that debuff the mobs and wen it or any one else hits mobs it heals the raid/party.

this makes a chanter a MUST in any raid party .

con's:

as most ppl at this lvl dont know what a chnater realy is u find ya self main healing a lot of the time wich is ok in starting eara and maybe up to like lvl 15.
any thing after that and the chanter finds it self in deep whater as its healing skils is no were near as powerful as a cleric.
pvp wise the chanter has very few cc abiletys wel to be exact it has none, BUT makes up for this whit her High crit whit 2hander and 2hander knock down on Crit.

as in 1on1 it can out last most clases exsept maybe templar.

caouse of its good dmg and its for ever regaining mana.

all doh as a solo pvper in abyss it has 0 chance of survabilety .

this class is truly a support class and will be sort after in most pvp raids and pve raids
