Elegant · 10-13-2007, 05:55 PM

I put 25 into SPR and now i'm going to go full end, crits mean alot to me... and I want my health to be good also... so am I doing things right..? Otherwise tell me now cuz I have another cleric that is 2:1 end:str and I think thought that was pretty weak.. bcuz I put atleast 11 points in str and i only do 13 dmg more... WTFUX... If your a good cleric and has a general idea on how to solo almost every monster plz tell me wtf to do..

I have a 2:1 END:STR build as well and I am able to solo monster effectively. I also use a hammer if that makes a difference. This build is best for soloing because of that extra amount of defense/HP boost and the block rate as well. The thing is that when you start off with the 25 SPR build you lose out on that END in the begining so until you get that END pumped to a decent amount you might want to stick to partying for a bit and/or use scrolls to aid you. But I don't think it's a bad build. You'll be able to handle magic attacks better too.

My lvl 22 cleric is 5str, 10end, and rest in spr. I made the mistake of puting 5 str early in game to help level up but real no use for later levels. But for now i crit almost every 5 swings and soloing bats ok. If i had to do it all over again, i'll use the same setup as you... 25spr and rest in end, but i would get end first like 10 then dump into spr til 25 then go back to end.

Ohh... and I have to say that STR really is "almost" useless at later levels. When I got to my 30s my STR went up by 3-4 points at level up so now at 15 STR I'm planning on going 2:1 END:SPR and pump that SPR to 25 for the bonus.

So once they get the stat reset item... I'm so going to use it.

Your build is quite fine Elegant. If you love criticals so much, go full spirit. The extra health you're investing your free stat points into becomes negligible later, and isn't needed so long as you carry a vitality scroll on you all the time. I'm talking from experience of course.

I have 25 points in STR, and I hit ~35 damage more than a cleric with no points in STR. So STR is not "almost" useless, it is actually quite effective.

Well, at later levels I have to say the STR does help cause I'm usually soloing rather than in a party healing. That's why I said "almost" useless...

sounds good to me, might want to put a few of the points into end to begin with so you have a little better hp and def.

my lv33 cleric has 20 in end, and 13 in spr, the extra 5pts from the job change went into str.
im planning on pumping spr till i hit 25, then swap to a str:end build.
