Is it just me....

Clerics are slow to level - they have decent defense but only mediocre damage, so it just goes slow.

I retired my cleric after the L60 job change because I found I just didn't enjoy playing her anymore and the job change was the icing on the cake.

One problem I had was trying to keep parties alive if there were people who had the opinion that a cleric in the party means they never have to use stones or pots. I generally partied with guildies and a lot of times it was not a problem, but KQs with randoms would irritate me.

Solo, I did just fine, slow and steady. But I never created my account to play solo - I have solitaire for that.

So because I found the expectations placed on clerics unrealistic in general random party game play and the fact that the L60 job change, IMHO, is hosed for the clerics I chose to retire her.

I find that a mage and a cleric are often a good match. See if you can find a mage partner to level with~

I used to think that Clerics were hard to level until I started playing an Archer. Clerics are generally useful and wanted all the time, so long as you're not black-listed as a sucky Cleric, you'll get partys. But Archers really need help from friends (most of the time)
