What? No no no! I am horrified about the idea that clerics are not able to heal themselves! No no no... -shakes head-

I completely disagree with the fact that fighters become useless as tanks later on. They have skills to help them tank, i.e. mock and stuff to aggro the mobs. Clerics don't. Though clerics may be able to tank, fighters are more effective because they can keep an aggro on them. You have taken into account that clerics have heal, but you need to also take into account how effect mock/other taunt skills can be.

I sometimes duo with an archer, and even though I can take more hits than him, he still aggro's the mob and the mob still hits him rather than me. So I end up standing there healing him more than hitting. However, with a fighter there, I wouldn't have to heal as much because the fighter would be able to keep the mob hitting him/her. Therefore, I would be able to help hit and kill the mob and make better use of myself.

You shouldn't just look at the stats. Skills are important in game, they are the ones that draws the difference between classes the most. Stats do affect your character, but it's a whole different story when skills are used.

Being able to tank isn't just about how much defense you have, it is about how effectively you do it.
