My Cleric

[JosephE]

Just got to level 17, my current build is 2:1 END:STR, but I plan on adding some SPR later on for crit. Probably gonna go with HK as my final class, and use hammers once I reach HC. I'm planning to max out Bash's Power and Heal and Protect -Sp Consumption. I have no idea what i'm gonna do to the other skills, I might end up just saving SP for later on, but... I don't know. Take a look at my stats and tell me what I should change, and what I should keep doing; I mainly want to solo.



Sorry if you can't read the stats. Just click the pic, then click the magnifying glass to zoom in.

I wouldn't empower Protect...

There's a lot more skills you could put points in further on, buffs are not really worth it.

Otherwise, there rest are not too bad.

Thanks

But do you think I'm starting to look more like a solo or party cleric? I'm still not sure.

[Hessah]

Hmm it's a bit of both with the STR/END build.. Generally you don't need STR if you're a party cleric, and maybe more STR if you're a solo cleric...

I'm at L94, and plan on going HK. Your build is OK for now, but as you get farther along, I would switch to str and spr, and just get the end from your gears. At some point - check guides or the wiki - end from your build only gets 0.5 block while end from your gears get the full point. Also, the spr helps with magic defense, which becomes much more important at higher levels, especially if you like PvP. Mages become ungodly powerful later in the game, imo overpowered compared to the other classes.

What level exactly do you think I should switch to SPR? And should I stick with 2:1 except STR:SPR? And also how do I find gear with END?

[Hessah]

I think ultimately, END in free stat "caps" at 50 (block rate is reduced after that) and SPR "caps" at 25 (crit rate is reduced after that)..

So 75 points in those, anda the rest in STR... how you want spread those points in the mean time is up to you, it's not too significant..

You usually buy END gear from other people's vends, unless you're really lucky to pick one up yourself..

A little handy tip to know if a gear has good END on it, is that all normal green named gear, the stats will not exceed half its level.

For example, you find a lvl 20 green top, the max END (or any other stats) it could have is 10. For a lvl 30 gear, the max END it could have is 15.

Hope that makes sense to you..

*UPDATE*

My Cleric is now a High Cleric, and about 90% EXP to level 21. I have taken the community's advice and put some free stats in SPR, stopped empowering buffs, and I know when to cap each stat. I haven't bothered to find END gear yet, but I don't have alot of money anyway, I just got all the level 20 gear from the blacksmith. I also refined my hammer and shield until they glowed :3 So, tell me if i've improved, and what I still have to improve (look at the first post for comparison) Thanks.
