My Opinion On How to Train a Cleric

[booyah8876]

Ok I have to question the build... because for me...

Pure END build
STR/END gears

Ãœber solo pro build with the ability to clank if I need to when AoE arises in BG.

STR clerics can clank equally well with decent equipments, STR isn't an important factor in clanking when healing is the main factor contributing to the aggro during aoe, the soloing part varies by the level of the mob/players you take on, much like bashing a level 1 player vs bashing a 79 tank. The more defense associated the the opponent the more noticeable the difference is between the two builds. Also @ 67 I believe you've gotten about 82 pts in END which is about 410 extra hp with 41 defense, it really doesn't play a big part in contributing to your clanking abilities. As for the STR/END gear, I have no disputes with the END, but whether STR or DEX should be next choice in line is fully up to the cleric choosing the gears, with DEX you land every hit, with STR from gears you hit slightly higher. A 68 cleric with +9 hammer hit only 140~ on a 70 mage, a full STR hit over 200. Vs full STR fighters at higher levels an END cleric hit as low as 10s and 20s, but with STR build the difference is far greater.

For example when my sister's 70 mage took on the 68 cleric as mentioned earlier they are trading damage in this format:

Cleric: 110-140
Mage: 700-1200, adding in aoe roughly 1300-2100 dmg

The cleric also have to heal nonstop, as for my sis, she stops attacking to let the cleric heal fully and use mushroom to recover (far more hp recovery compared to cleric damage)

I'm not calling my sis godly or anything, just citing an example. As one can easily see a match up like this is way too slanted in the mage's favor, an STR cleric can at least force the mage to spam a few stones at times.

Don't get INT lol, that's for mages.

Yes well if you've noticed... the gears that have high END on them

1) Cost a million
2) Don't add to shield block rate

I'm blocking huge amounts of hits with this 6,3% increase.

Then I use shield buff for another 3%.

And 5 points went into DEX... I need to get a reset scroll xD

I'll be adding those 5 to END.

High STR gears at my lvl don't run for nearly half as much as those über END gears... because everyone wants END... I'll take my way, and the less popular one... I'll save money, and I'm an effective cleric.

Before this most recent patch I was able to to quick attack, but now they've gone and messed that all up, meaning I can't do loads of dmg like I used to... =/

But then I use T3 DEF, VIT, and T2 Aim and I have no problem hitting anything.

I was solo grinding in Burning Rock on the Crystal Guardians and only missing once in a blue moon.

My guy to me is perfect.

EDIT:

My cleric isn't built around PvP.

I want to solo and survive, and AoE and survive.

Pure STR is really for PvP.
