I dunno where u got the idea of clerics having more def than fighters, perhaps you should create one of each class and level them to 20 both going full END to see the difference lol. My noob cleric has roughly 180 def with buff and scroll today in a mara kq and a level 24 fighter had 260~ defense. In addition to that a shield is a must for us clerics as we have no such thing as 2h weapons. If you think axe/2hers should have way higher def than a cleric you might as well recommend for Outspark to take out shields for clerics across all levels. I'm not an END build, but the end doesn't really make a difference significant enough to be worth the mentioning (+12 def for l20 if I invest all 25 points into it).
One thing I've also realized is that clerics aren't as tough as I originally thought them to be. As a matter of fact in guild wars they are rather weak and useless. For example my friend called our guild in to help fight a guild trampling a new players' guild, we had 3 mages taking on 2 clerics. The mages were level 44, 36, and 33, and the clerics are level 47 and 48. We took their hp down so fast they didn't even have the time to rebuff themselves after our numerous mana burns and purges, and it takes roughly 8 seconds to kill either of them (HPCandy & Liwen). The l44 mage hit on average 250 and 500-700 on criticals depending on skills using a level 40 regular ggk unenhanced and all white equipments while I hit from 120-250 at level 33. Both HPCandy & Liwen uses +9 ggk hammers and they only hit around 200 on me (I have about 1400 hp with vitality t1/green armors/ and cleric buff, so time was plenty for me to recover and continue kiting). Shortly after the war I saw Liwen selling off his +9 ggk for only 400s (I suppose he gave up doing any damage lol), but at any rate, based on this and the 2 hit ko I spotted today I think clerics need more hp and at least a slight boost to firepower at the very least instead of toning down. As for those complaining about 1v1'ing clerics.... sorry about any offense, but if you are stingy about pots why are you even stupid enough to take on a cleric knowing they can heal in the first place? P.s. up till now the system is still for group fights and not for 1v1s.
