The constat question...Holyknight or Guardian?
I know, you've heard this one a hundred times before XP But I want to hear both sides I want to go Guardian, when I get there, but some argue Holyknight is better. I like Guardians because they use hammers, but a friend told me her Guardian always misses, and can't solo at all. which wouldnt bother me too much, because I'd just party. Guards have the better heal right??
But I still can't decide.

OK, let's take a look at the skill sets for both -
Guardian gets the new skills of Rebirth (auto revive upon death), plus Dispel Pillar and Dispel Field, which are both debuff removers (healing) spells. Heal and Rejuvenate are the skills that Guardian can upgrade, but HK cannot at L100.
Holy Knight gets Deadly Blessing (crit rate buff), plus Dispel Purge and Purification, which are buff removing spells (offensive). Holy Knight gets to upgrade Bash, Protect, and Endure at L100.
From this, I assume that all other spells that clerics have - the party heals, etc., are shared by both classes. As assumed, Guardian is much more of a pure healer, while Holy Knight is the offensive, clanking type player. The only thing that doesn't make any sense is the weapon choice, with HK getting the weaker mace. However, looking at the L108 maces and hammers that are showing up in stores now, the maces seem to close on the hammers in attack power, maybe my imagination, as I only took a quick glance at them. I will be interested to see what happens when OS releases the T5 perfect enhancing stones to see how the weapons change.
Ultimately, I think the choice comes down to the style you play. Healer, go Guardian, and know that you will need to party virtually all of the time as you get to higher levels. Solo or clanking player, go Holy Knight, with the realization that your healing power will weaken as you hit higher and higher level mobs. The person to talk to would be Slient Wizard, as he has both a Guardian (Doylen) and a Holy Knight (Slient Wizard). However, I haven't seen him post in a very long time.

My problem is, I love to party and heal, but It also drives me crazy if I don't get a chance to be crazy and clank sometimes XD
This is good info, thank you Helion, but it's making my choice harder XD I will hate not being able to upgrade Endure (and protect), but not getting better heals will just be unbearable :/ I think it stinks either way xD Dang.
In the end I think I will end up going Guardian, since I do value my healing skill. The only problem is my build.... END and STR xDDDD I will need a reset pill If I ever hit 100.
Thank you Helion, knowing what skills I will and won't have really clears it up. I couldn't get an answer like this on the outspark forum xD

Sorry if I made the choice harder. Now, before you decide, and by the way, Guardian is probably your correct choice from what I have seen in your posts previously, OS is starting to rebalance the classes again - they have a monumental screwup right now with overpowering the mage's flamewalker skill - so things may change a bit. Second, you will still be able to use your old skills, they just can't progress after you choose, so while your damage won't get better, you will still be able to clank some. I would consider, if you are going to change your stat points, look at going with spr or dex to replace the str instead of pure end, as some of the Guardians I know have done. The dex is great for getting missed, and spr great for the magic defense. As for me, I'm going HK and will be happily clanking away. Plus, since OS is rumored to be capping Fiesta at L120, I won't miss much from the heal upgrades - besides, it has such a fast turnaround that spamming it should be good for my needs.

Awww they might just cap it at 120? But the GMs are 150! unfair! D;
Good to know. It will be a toss up if i can chance my stats or not, I don't know when the next I'll get sparkcash is. Although I suppose I have plenty of time... I'm only level 74 ^^
Haha, I'll be the crazy Guardian clank xD
Good luck You're much closer than I am!
