Are Clerics The Best Soloers???

[timely_clock]

Hi everyone
I was wondering if clerics are the best soloers, like in the Abyss. Because I want to make most of my money off of drops. And is it true that Clerics are the class that make the most money? And because I want to solo alot would this be the best build: 2END(Until 50):1SPR(UNTIL 25): Rest STR. How well would this build do in Soloing?

Thanks For The Info!

Full str is an excellent build for a solo cleric, but later on you MUST have end in your gears to make up for your lack of hp/def

My cleric is currently lvl 27 full str and i hit high 70s low 80s in the deepest part of 2x abyss.

Just a suggestion for ya

Lol, they don't make the most money by soloing, they do by partying.

Cause in a party everyone is so busy the drops go un-noticed and the cleric can pick them up.

Yeah right. People only use clerics to heal their boo boos. They never put the PT on Sequential.


To the OP, if it pertains to just harvesting materials, Clerics are the 2nd best for soloing. You can take on a huge mob, an rarely worry about dying unless there's a lag spike. I cannot tell you how many times that happens. -.-

But as a far as lvling is concerned, they are like the 3rd best because of their lack of real damage. Archers are the best soloers in the game, period! That's why you see most AOE parties consist of Clerics and Archers.

Cleric... solo... it makes no sense. Clerics are a support class... Why else would you have all those pretty party buffs?

You can't really solo effectively past 3x tbh. Sure, you can take on mobs and not die, but the time it takes to kill one mob just makes it not worth it. Cleric damage is fail, even when you're all str. Find a mage to duo with in the abyss and tell them to put seq or they get no heals. That's what I'd do.

It makes just as much since as an Mage tanking a boss. Yeah, it might not sound like a good idea, but it can be done. Hard work never hurt anybody, and the reward for it is much sweeter than blazing through stuff.

Thanks For The Info!I have to agree with what im hearing about the damage factor... its low but the heal makes up for it. im a lvl46 cleric with 24str 3dex 24end with all high str dex and end gear...only about low 600 avg damage and 580def can solo ggk since 44... with +0 wep +6sheild and no sparkcash ...sometimes a buff and sometimes not ... my point is that i see no other class doing that and ive been watching trust me. but for the mob kills i see archers owning them all over. might help decision-might not ...:D just thought i would try lol

Cleric is bad at solo because you kill slow, it is expeically worst starting level 6x. You cry in 7x and you are fustrated and thinking about quitting at 8x. However they got a lot of stones, they can solo for a long time and the lowest cost to operate.

I've been a cleric for a good long while and I've tried soloing bosses... and from what I've experiences of both clerics and fighters, fighters are the best boss killers. Clerics are not designed to be aggressively played, they are a *support* class, no matter how you build your character and empower their skills.

So, what? We're supposed to just default to partying in order to survive? Yeah right!! Did you forget that Archers are a support class as well, yet no one tells them to stop soloing and party more. Each class may have a defaulted job to do, but it's your choice to do so or not.

If soloing as a Cleric is such a pain, why do I see so many lvl80s running around? I doubt every single one of them are support clerics.

Fighters are just as much a support class to.

And besides, when the cap is raised again, Clerics will be getting like 1-2 new attack skills. So all struggling will soon be rewarded. It's all about having patience.

3 attacks in total!!, still low but we should be grateful that they even gave new damage skills =.=

I soloed until my 70's. Started out by force...then I started to like it. And Fox is right...clerics usually don't get drops in parties because fighters always complain about "how much THEIR stones cost" and refuse to put it on sequential.

Don't like that kind of attitude...go solo! All drops are yours ftw!

Dungeons are another matter totally. If you wanna complete them efficiently, try to get a party (and pray they're decent and put it on sequential).

[Takimi]

Mhmm, yeah, Cleric's aren't the best solo'ers, as such, we can't do large mobs effectively.

But! I beg to differ on the boss statement. I've pretty much solo'd all of my bosses since I was a wee little cleric (that was ages ago). Only one I haven't solo'd yet is GOC. Still working on that xD...

And I usualyl get nice friends who make alot of money so they let me have all the drops xD whoohoo xD

Let's see.....you can earn some decent money soloing at lvl 70 abyss......I get like 200+ silver per hour and with a Xir [4] drop or a T4 production skill, I can give my pocket money a slight boost.....
As for the build......that's my No.1 choice for a clanker build.....you'll do fine soloing in that build

I refuse to party if drops are not on sequential. I also quit party fast if I notice drops are being picked up to favour the person picking up. Very easy to work out how drops will be picked up and ensure all the greens end up in your inventory.

ONLY TIME I ever make serious money on this game is when I SOLO or duo with my husband because we share.

Jadestar is more than an effective party cleric and she has also done many effective hours soloing to make money. Jadestar was pretty much a solo full END cleric till she was in the 7x levels.

Full STR cleric is the best solo and self sufficient character in the game. Yep they dont kill as fast as full STR fighters but they can sure solo easier. Buy a Hunters War Rant and HP/SP extender, build a full STR cleric and go solo if all you want it for is a money maker.

And yeah I totally agree full STR clerics are squishy NOT...... My full STR cleric Shellz wore a lvl 26 Helm till level 66, she used a lvl 40 Shield till lvl 70 and the rest of her gear was just stuff she picked up. She rarely ever died and it was always that rare occassion when a massive lag spike hit.
