I'll just say this. Clerics have no firepower, at all. We are not capable of dishing out damage the way fighters/archers/mages do, and we only have 4 attack skills, tops. The two released are Bash and Bleed/Trip, and the third and fourth unreleased skills are Break and Extinguish.

Nerfing cleric defense? Fighters are stated to have "the highest strength and endurance," but does that mean that everyone else has about 5 defense while you have 500? A cleric is designed to take punishment so that they can stay alive and keep their party alive. Good luck keeping your party alive if your cleric gets one-hit by a stray Ancient Stonie.

Likewise, clerics not being able to heal themselves? That forces clerics to rely on potions, stones, and other clerics for healing. When they themselves are getting hit repeatedly, eventually they'll die.

A tank has the highest HP out of all four classes, and the highest defense to boot. Yes, a cleric can tank almost as well as a fighter. But a clank can't take as many hits as a fighter, and also can't Mock or Devastate.
