Your not seeing where i'm coming from though and stupid i really dont think so ..but i can agree .. your just not looking at the simple fact as clerics have extremely poor damage unless you str build ...which wouldn't be the smartiest idea and they dont have as many. damaging attacks I mean they have bash but without empowerment to that or a str based char your still not going to do much .all your argueing is they can heal forever your not looking at how long it would take to kill one thing as oppose to an archer or a fighter ...im not getting on mages cause they are like paper ...which is where a cleric comes in ..im not saying dont solo a cleric i'm doing that right now..low lvl just stated but, clerics are more of party leaders then soloers is all

Tell that to all the clerics (STR build in particular) who have soloed Slime, Mara, Robo, Spider, Phino KQ.

Clerics burn through SP stones the slowest of the 4 classes which means they wouldn't have to head back to town quickly like every other class after their SP stones are burnt out (this can be a big problem depending on your grinding/quest party location unless you have a mount that can move extremely quickly). I was taking note of this in particular in a Dungeon of Abyss party with 3 Mages and 1 fighter. I could last at least 4 times longer than the mages in DoA before I had to restone but I actually had to restone before then since inventory was always getting full but if I had Iron Case this would only prove me right further.

Clerics were always meant to have the lowest ATP because they are the only class with healing techniques (Excluding Fighters Vampire Strike)

You are seriously underestimating the solo capabilities of a STR build cleric any STR build cleric out there will tell you this.

Every class has a weakness in solo which is why parties are always the fastest way to level for any class to remove these weaknesses and kill enemies much much faster than what you could do solo.

You also say it like cleric is the only class that is hindered in solo play but


Fighters - have low SP stones so they have to frequently restone when they are burning their skills but if they are partied with DD for example Mage they dont have to worry too much about spaming their skills unless they are soloing because Mages will be nuking Inferno and Frost Nova

Clerics - This one has been covered already.

Archers - The best DDs for single Target Enemies like bosses however they too find themselves burning skills like mad in solo play to keep themselves alive easier while conserving stones which is why fighters are there to tank and clerics are there to heal.

Mages - What do I need to say about these they become the ultimate DD class for AOE from Lv 60 onwards. If anything Mages would be the hardest class to solo with in the later levels since they have very low SP stones considering they have to rely on their SP to deal damage and they aren't likely going to get far with lets say attempting to solo an enemy in Trumpy Remains. Without a cleric but even then a cleric may not just cut it because unless the Mages Full End built the Mage wont be pulling any more than 2-3 enemies at once in Trumpy Remains instead of 5+ of which a fighter can do.

So keep that in mind any class can solo but some have different weaknesses and some have more weaknesses than others.
