Is it me or are Clerics boring to solo with?

Yeah, cleric are slow at killing, and we only have 1 (well 2 but i personally think the other one is useless) attacking skill...

that's why I like building up my crit rate and a +9 so i can see flashy dmg just to make things a little bit more interesting....

Yesssss omggg clerics are SOOO boring to solo with. Well, for one, I'm not a STR build and I haven't used +9 weapons until my 50s, so it was hell to solo. I went through my first 40+ levels before all the new fancy quests came out, so we had to level up the old way. I never solo'd. It was so boring. No +9 to make high damage, I just click and hit, and occasionally press a 3 to heal myself, while I wait for about 5 minutes to kill a mob /exaggeration

I guess it's a different story if you're full STR or something and can deal lots of damage. Otherwise, boring.

It is a boring class to solo hands down. I couldn't stand soloing with my Cleric the first time around. But now I have one that is full STR and it is much better. That with crit items makes it better for sure.

btw.. when i solo on my cleric (fighting yellow mobs for my license)

i can do multiple things such as play another flash game, read threads on fiesta fan... update wiki... (no kidding)

i just hit a mob, cast restore... then i dont have to come back to my character for a good 10-20 sec... just gotta make sure you dont have multiple mobs hitting you, otherwise you'll find yourself dead when u come back to the game LOL

I used to be able to do something similar on the odd times that I solo. I'll have my firefox in a smaller box so I can keep an eye on my HP at the same time.

But my comp is too slow for that now.

soloing with a cleric will just waste your time mostly :/ you might as well br partying. clerics just dont deal enough dmg, even with +9's. even full str, they still kill slower than other classes at times.

look at what you guys are saying ...not trying to be rude at all guys/girls....but you guys are talking about soloing a party supporter you need a party in order for your cleric to be helping anyone ..its just not a char to solo

I can get more done solo. For example, the repeat tourtures quest. In a party it was taking 45-50 min to complete. Alone I could do almost 2 full passes on one set of scrolls. On king/queen spiders I could get the kings, lay on scrolls and get the queens, turn in the quest come back for queens, then have 2/3 to 3/4 of my kings before my scrolls buffed out. I could not do that with a party. On lizard mud it was taking almost 2 hours to get the mud drops in a party. Alone I did it in 1hour 10min. Thats a good tip BTW, small partys work better for mud.

Those who travel alone travel faster.

I had a Lv 79 cleric and I'll say from experience this...

Sorry if this comes out aggressive or anything but this is one of the most stupidest things I've heard. Clerics have attack skills they have weapons to attack with so surely they can solo. An END, END/SPR build cleric is terrible for soloing though.

Clerics can solo enemies better than any other class in the game (Boss enemies in particular)

Get yourself a Lv 70 Blue Hammer+9 or Bellow Knight Hammer+9 with a STR build surely you will be doing some decent damage to enemies. Its not like you are forced to party you know. Some people are more efficent solo and can get things done quicker in solo play. Personally myself I couldn't because I lacked a +9 hammer and my cleric was pure END and so was my equipment so I relied on parties for my work.

I know STR build clerics would be godly in abyss solo since the enemies deal out low damage and have low HP which a STR build would really benefit from.

Also depending on how rich you are a cleric may simply be better anyway since you wont need to waste money on restoning as fast as any other class and you can save a heck of alot of pots.
