Im about to start the game, and I was wondering, if Clerics are like Paladins?
I love tanking, so I wanna choose the best job to do so. :)

In a way - we just don't have aggro besides heals though.

In fact, our class is called Paladin at level 60. We can tank but are more support oriented no matter what your build.

They are pretty much like a warrior with heal, except a full END fighter can of course tank better than a healer with full END, but I still prefer being a cleric, don't use as much pots ^^.

Clerics are like paladins, but we're also the only class who can heal and warriors make better tanks. If you want to tank it's better to go warrior. Warriors have agro skills and don't have to worry about keeping people healed. They're also a bit better at taking damage.

The previous is all true, Clerics are good fighters but far from as effective as the warrior. I became a cleric because I like healing people and it is a good way to see if people are friendly, Mostly if a player thanks me after being healed I'm happy. I just love helping others :)

Damn, now i'm a little bit confused ._. I love tanking, but I also love healing... im leaning more to Cleric, since I like to Raise and Cure people, its really more useful in a way.

But all in all, which job is the no questions asked best tank?

Warrior hands down. They have AoE taunts, stuns, single taunts. And more hp/def per endurance.

They are usually always the tank if you are in a grinding party.

Not what I wanted to hear, but thanks for being honest ^^; I guess ill have two characters then, a Warrior and a Cleric, I might start with cleric since usually its harder to find healers in these games.

Thanks everyone for their input. :3

I'll speak up once more. Healers are very easy to find in this game - good ones are a rarer occurance. Cleric is probably the most played class though.

However, Clerics are an excellent money maker to start funding your Warrior.

This is pretty much what I'm doing. Haven't been playing too long, but Cleric is up to 31, mostly from soloing. Warrior is like 18, and has shiny things lol

Honestly, clerics are a bit imbalanced in that regard. You can farm mats etc all day long and hardly use any stones compared to every other class. :P

Thus, profit is much higher for cleric soloing.
