Please note that I have been in plenty of KQs, though only King slime and Mara, so I know what I am talking about (at least for those 2, though I assume tactics don't change much).
First off let me explain to you about clerics.
1) Healing spells have a cooldown time! We cannot heal everyone at once, or directly back to back.
2) We are fragile alot of the time (though we can take some hits as long as it isn't a boss mob), so if we draw the aggro with our healing (yes it happens), then you need to stop what you are doing and help us, even if it means taking damage from more than one mob at a time.
3) In Mara and above we might have the ability to revive you, but we might not get to you right away because: A) we are busy trying to keep other people from dieing too, B) or rez spell is still cooling down from the last time we cast it, or C) you have pissed us off so much that we WON'T rez you (that that rarely happens). So what I am saying is don't spam the chat for a rez. Now asking again after a little while like a minute or two, that is fine, just don't be rude about it.
My point is also this, be nice to the clerics and they will likely be nice to you. Also you are more likely to be healed if you have a cleric in your party because then they should be watching your hp.
Now tips for clerics.
1) Get into a party right away (you should already know that)
2) If you have a tank in your party make sure to heal him quickly, but also don't abandon your other teammates.
3) If a mage or archer in your party often draws the aggro and doesn't have much hp, make sure you are always ready to heal them, remember fighters can take more hits, but mages and archers can't take as many.
4) When fighting a boss mob such as the king slime or mara, make sure you know who is tanking and focus heal on them, period.
Moving on to fighters in the KQ.
Main roll 1: Tank
Tanking means that you take and keep the aggro. While this doesn't REQUIRE extremely high end, it helps alot. To keep the aggro remember you have to spam taunt, especially against boss mobs, or else you will lose the aggro and people will likely die.
3) Have a one handed sword and a shield
Rules for tanks:
1) Taunt like crazy.
2) Make sure you bring your own pots and stones and watch your own hp, clerics cannot always keep you alive all the time by themselves. (this is especially true with newer clerics in the king slime KQ. When you get to the knig slime battle make sure you can always hear yourself, many clerics get distracted.)
Main roll 2: Damage dealer
This roll is generally for fighters who are pure or mostly str, though not always.
Rules for Damage fighters:
1) Never taunt unless a non-fighter is in danger, leave the taunting for the tanks.
2) As always make sure you can heal yourself at anytime because the clerics will focus on the tank and if you take damage you may not get healed in time.
3) For damage dealing after lvl 20 you will probably want a two-handed sword or an axe.
Mages and archers
I have two things to say to you: Don't pull the aggro if you can help it and SCOLLS!
