Clerics are the easy ones to KS, they can't leetch without being noticed ( and commented "HEAL!"), and they can't afk for more than a very short time. Often, when I complete and leave to turn in a quest I will come back to find the rest of the party in their houses resting and taking a break awaiting my return. Party members go to rest during lulls but rarely at the same time. When does the cleric get a break? Often the loss of the cleric causes a breakup of the party.

I may be making it sound worse than it is, there are many considerate plp out there who value and support their clerics. prolly cuz they been there!
It is stressful. Most of my cleric friends quit by the time they get to their level 60s. By the time you get to the 80s, it's rare to find a (experienced) cleric. :/ A lot of the clerics who made it to that stage got plvled, I notice. =_=
