Help on cleric and mage

[Loveless]

I don't know about INT but STR ignores defense and adds damage as is. On top of that the bonus does not deteriorate over time. It is a useful stat to invest in.

If you want to solo and support you can either go 25 SPR/STR or END/STR 1:2 or 2:1 (whichever you prefer) with END gear. My Cleric has been doing a SPR/STR build and she happens to kill a lot faster than when I used to have an END only Cleric.

Another reasoning is that you're a Cleric and you are able to Heal yourself. You're also not going to be solo AoE'ing as you lack the skill to do so... so if you're killing one by one you're not going to need a whole lot of END to help keep you alive. Of course, more HP/defense is always a good thing to have.


EDIT: If you plan on playing for a long while you can even do what Amber did... minus the DEX/INT addition. It'll be a hybrid build but that does not necessarily mean it's a bad thing.

How much damage are you doing on a mob on your fighter at level 7x? If your doing over 600dmg pure spr would be better than pure str..

[Loveless]

I'm not using a Fighter; on top of that my Fighter has always been END built... not to mention I quit playing Fiesta months ago so I do not remember numbers.

For a short period I had done a 50 END rest STR build. Obviously took on more damage but killed much faster with that build. I suppose a pure SPR would benefit in terms of crits... but that's why it was suggested to go with a SPR/STR build. Crit % bonus dies down at 25... but if you add that on top of the extra damage you will dish out with the STR I would assume you'd hit a lot harder. That's why a lot of players have done that build + axe combo. But again, he's asking about a Cleric.

I would recommend full INT for mage...

I'm 25 SPR and rest INT, and I wished I was full INT. Blah is full INT and she out dmg me most of the time... (the 25 SPR is not much help until level 70 when u get a blue weapon and a crit suit...)


Cleric - Solo and Support... hmm I wouldn't recommend spreading it over 3 stats...

Maybe:
1) 50 END, Rest STR
or
2) 25 SPR, Rest STR

I'm not sure not squishy a cleric is without END.. but if you get a decent shield your defence shouldn't be too bad... that what you can solo well too with Crit and STR....

I don't think il ever reach lvl 70 so il just put 25 spr. and rest in int.

[Hessah]

Noo the other way around.. dont go SPR if you wont get to lvl 70...

It's not useful for lvl 1-69....

I play as a solo cleric probably 98% of the time. My build is currently 50 Str, 25 End, and 10 Spr. I started as a pure end, then moved to the strength as I started figuring things out. I am adding to the Spirit now up to 25 to get the Crit damage bonuses. With this build, I have no problem with assisting the few times I choose to party, and I also kill pretty well - Soloing Giant Orc Captain was no problem for me at L66, and I was 2 hit killing Giant Sparkdogs at L68. Of course, you can alter any stat decisions with green or blue weapons and armors and by enhancing your equipment.
