Cleric Mid-Life Crisis =D

[roonthehax]

Well basically I was worried about my cleric's build...

At the moment (lv 57) it has +30 END, +15 SPR, (hopefully rest into STR, +16 atm) and 1 into INT (mistake ;o).

I was wondering if this is good build for a solo/tank/pvp cleric, or if I should remake full str or something...

If not I need to know which stats to add? To continue pumping STR or make END 50 with SPR 25?

_________________________________________

Also, I have a nub which has 1.2k decomp skill and like 0.5k comp skill. It is a fighter and I don't use it for much else. I would like to know if it worth recreating this character (as an archer so that I have 1 of each class on ONE account), then getting my decomp/comp up again? Basically like how long it should take to get it back up ;o Thanks alot

I wish only to answer your question, but I am a lowly fighter... and do not know good cleric builds.

ok exactly what do you want your cleric as?

I mean I am lvl 83
i have 15(i think) on SPR
I have 25(i think) on STR
and the rest on END(43)
I am as they call it a "hybrid"
I can solo great
I am goon in PT's
I wish i would of never put any on spr though.
once I cap I would like my stats to be:
30 str
59 end
but thats just me

It all really depends on how you want your char to be

[viorexx]

if you want to solo your build should be str and end
if you want to party alot. then its end and spr.
its all how you want to play the game

[Mizuko85]

As long u don't add on Int (though u just add 1 there) it should be fine xD.

[Ian]

Well some people were talking about an int-based cleric AoE, so that might alter someone's build. :P

and you mean what exactly?

[roonthehax]

Well I want to solo but I also want to party, lols. I guess you need +9's and a hella load of good stated gears.

[laady]

Ugh, I wish I knew. I have two Clerics and both times I asked about builds on here, I was told STR is useless because Clerics are so weak that it won't matter. But then my Academy members told me that since I tend to solo, I should do full STR but they also said you still kill stuff slowly so what does it matter? If I'm full END, I'll also still kill stuff slowly but I'll live and will be ready for KQs when I need to party, right?

Meh, I already put +19 on END so even when I get to level 30, I'll still have +9 on there unless I get SC and move the remaining 9. And why can't you be a full support solo Cleric? I don't have anyone to play with and you can't play with someone else 100% of the time unless your life revolves around the schedule of someone else but when I'm in a party or when I'm in a KQ, I don't fight, I'm full support. I can see the dilemma but it's possible to be solo most of the time but transition into support when with others, right? It's just kind of hard to prepare for I guess. >.>

(Sorry for the babbling... XD )

[CCL225]

haha...all my gears used to happen to have int in them ><

anyway, on topic, end: increase defense, str: increase dmg and spr: increase crit.

if it's me, being a solo person, ill go all 3. 25spr, 50end and rest on str. crit is much better than str i think. look at ur stats and u see that 25spr give u 5% crit, while 15str give u 18dmg, which is not alot. it deals about 2-3dmg on certain mobs.

and to solo, i think +9s and full str/end gears would be nice.(im more str/dex) str gears seems better than str stats. use it on end or spr which will increase ur hp or sp by hell lot more^^

well..just person opinions and some things said by friends while i was still little ^^

[malicedread]

25spr rest str ftw!
+end gears
+9 arms
+sc items
and u are a god-like cleric now!

dont say str is useless for damage. i play with 25spr rest str and i owe a lot of things. i used to play 25spr 25end rest str cleric before.. it sucks for soloing.

so i think 25spr rest str is the best build for soloing. at least it fits my play style well

[laady]

How does that work for you in the higher level KQs?

oh well.. the highest cleric i had was 58 and i didnt go any KQ :cool:

[laady]

Ack, I must know how this build works in KQs! :D

[malicedread]

just try it out :p
i think it will rocks anyway. just dont forget about end gear xD

[laady]

I'll have to but that means I won't be able to until level 30 when I can move 10 of those 19 stat points over to STR. If I can get some SC, then I'd be able to move the remaining 9 because I know that'll bug me to no end. >.<

[Chaola]

My IG wife is a capped cleric full STR.

Her equips have all high END, some +9 and she has more def and HP than some full END clerics.

She can clank, solo, duo, or be support in party.

A full STR cleric has to choose their equips wisely as you have to make up the lack of def/HP of your build with your gears.

[malicedread]

see :p
str rocks!
tho i would do 25spr instead full str anyway because:
+5%crt, +25m.def, +125mp > +30dmg

[laady]

Alright, I'll bite and give it a shot. :D


How much do stat reset scrolls cost? I'm going to be driven nuts by that +9 on END. O_O And how do you add on the SPR? Like do +1 to STR and +1 to SPR until you've reached +25 SPR? Some people are very specific about what gets added when.

Wrong on the mdef. One point of SPR gives only 0.5 mdef, so 25 SPR points gives you 12.5 mdef.

For the crit, yes, it's valuable. It's all a question of preference.

Alright, I'll bite and give it a shot. :D

You already used your 10 reset scrolls reward for level 30 quest ?

Else it's 3495 SC.

And the SPR is better added later, start with the STR. Usually for DDs, people say to add SPR when you reach the 600 damage point, but on a cleric I'm not sure...

[laady]

No, I haven't used them yet, it's just that I have +19 on END and you only get 10 stat reset scrolls and those last 9 points are going to bug me. :D

This is o so true.Im a lvl 89 cleric and the best thing i did for soloing is to put 25 skill points on SPR.......this increases both sp and crit %, so im like at 5% added crit + i use a BK hammer that give 7% crit(working on lic rite now at 2% added crit) and i use a blue boots so thats another 5% crit and this is optional but i also have a suit that gives 7% crit
So in all i have 26% crit and that adds up to critting each monster for faster kills ^_^

[roonthehax]

Thanks alot for all your help O.o Ill add STR to +20 (from 16), then get SPR to 25 and then pump END.

KK I have a reputation for being a *cleric freak* so let me share a little of what I know.

Jadestar is a full END (+104) party cleric. She cant drive a nail into hot butter she is so weak but she is one helluva good party cleric. And not being able to hit doesnt matter because it isnt her role in the party. Friends call her the *Brick Wall* because she is so hard to drop. Her job is to be able to cop a beating while keeping the party and herself alive.

Shellz is a full STR (+104) duo/solo cleric. She does a decent amount of damage and can take a pretty good thumping. She can party but not as efficiently as Jadestar can because she has spent her skill points on attack skills in preference to party heal skills.

Shellz wears the same gear as Jadestar does and her defense and magic defense are only slightly lower than Jadestar, however she doesnt have the *block* rate that Jade does.

I am currently making my 3rd cleric and this one is going to be END +50, DEX +25 and the rest STR. This build will give 5% block from the END and 5% Evade from the DEX.

Yes I am always trying new builds so that hopefully in the end I can find the perfect build. I personally dont do 25 SPR because I find that by using spark cash gear I have more than enough crits to the point it becomes blinding.

Keep in mind when deciding on your build that around lvl 7x there are a lot of *repeat quests* introduced and these are much faster done in a party.
