(haven't played for a while so take under caution)

Realistically, without CS and the inclination to spend either real-life or in-game money you cannot do all these things, only have a trade-off between durability and lethality. Overall your build has a relatively small effect.

There is the full STR route that I've seen some people accomplish with great effect. Tough to take down as long as they aren't ganged-up on and devastating 1-on-1 PvPers. Get your END from equips though you'll still be squishier than other Clerics (no Cleric is really squishy though imo)

50 End rest Str is the most common approach. Full benefit of block-rate % before adding more points past 50 adds only half the benefit. Gets stronger with time, more so than than the full Str as you'll have the 50 End to work with. Also recommended for the dedicated Healers.

Obviously the only route for Clerics to increase overall damage is to add Str or increase Bash's cool-down/power/SP-Consumption (I say SP-consumption because you'll be able to Bash more with the same SP and SP stones. The only other useful stat for Clerics is End and Spr (the extra m.def and SP is kinda useless for Clerics but the crit rate might bear looking into) (though 'tis rumored Clerics get a Int. based magic attack late) so a good build will have a balance between the two.

Take the 3rd one, 25 END rest STR, because having some extra def and hp is important, but its pretty useless to have so much you won't need to heal >.> Rest STR is good because clerics are icky dmg dealers, obviously ><" If you want to take it a step further, once you reach 50 str, put 10 in spr to have a nice well balanced build, then.. do w/e u want add 5 more in end then put str again... yea.. but 25 END 50 STR 10 SPR in that order is pretty good o.o But I'm not an expert at all so.... >.>

I think 25 END rest STR is good becuse im trying diffrent builds

like this, Archer=Full STR

Well, there's no wrong build

So long as you don't put in Int or something you should be ok.

IMO any build now for a cleric other then pure str isnt that great.
Pure str u can get end from gear... pure str only way to dmg monsters especially with +9, and only way to pvp....

Srry to those builds I made look bad but end clerics imo are horrible and are good for nothin but party healing, end/spr can EASILY be attained from gear, and with pure str u dont have to have a +9 to do dmg

^go with their suggestions. I used to be 25 STR rest END, but I found that after lvl60, I was better off pure end, which is what I am now. If you plan on doing lots of soloing, str is good, and also for pvp. Just keep in mind though you may end up buying END scrolls if you don't have much up. Even with end gears, if you are pvping and you get a deva, if you have mostly str, it won't help you much while your stunned/feared/mobbed.

Just a heads up.

**MikeyG** · 01-03-2009, 09:14 AM

And if your pvping it wont help much if your sitting there getting beat on and cant return the favor, You basically need free stat end to make clerics dmg worth a crap, and im not unexperianced the matter i played a 78 cleric end/spr with full max str +9 gear LOL and a 85 pure str cleric n also my alt pure str cleric. I HIGHLY recomend going with str/spr or pure str.

And yeah who doesnt buf or scrol for pve anyways, health is no problem your still gunna have alot from gear. MY mage had 2.5k natural health from end gear at lvl 69 so yeah..

I've fiddled around with my cleric build a lot. So far, the build I like the best is my current one, which is a 25 SPR/25 END/The rest in Strength.

I can take a beating when I'm in a party, but thanks to the higher crit rate, I can still solo effectively with the lower strength. With a decent crit weapon and crit gear(game and/or cash shop), you can get a pretty decent crit rate.

Empower damage and cool down on Bash and watch the pretty purple numbers!

If you DON'T have a +9 weapon, then 25 SPR and rest STR would be the way to go. You can get your END from gear and Endure will help out with your HP as well.

First, there is such a thing as a wrong build. A fighter that is pure int is an example of that.

Second, my cleric is 50 spr and is currently working str. It effective from what I can tell. I dont die and I heal forever. That's just me.
