I've been playing a cleric for about two months and here are some random thoughts.
How to Find Clerics Who Can Buff
1) Look for clerics with fancier costumes and mounts: because they may have higher tier buffs.
2) Look for clerics with glowing weapons: because they may have higher tier buffs.
3) Clerics-On-Call Button: "Need a buff at Shutian", somebody yells. Inevitably, this actually works. A cleric runs to him and buffs him.
Many replies after getting a buff (in the order of most common to weirdness)
1) Common replies: "ty", "Thank you", "thx", "tyvm"
2) "Can you be my friend?"
3) A salute. A laugh.
4) "Follow me. Come."
5) "Party me, forever!"
6) "Huh?"
7) Silence. Runs away.
8) Sits right in front of me and just stares at me.
9) Dances right beside me until the buff runs out and asks again.
10) So unexpected: "Now, plvl me!"
Funny Things Do Happen
1) Mage Bashing: Apparently, clerics are not the only ones who bash. When mobbed, some mages press auto-attack.
2) An archer kiting to his death: An archer kites and pulls a huge mob behind him and heads right into the center of another huge mob. A few seconds later on the chat screen, he says, "rev me?" And expects the cleric to rev him inside a mob infested area.
3) Revive Twenty Questions: Someone yells on the map, "rev me." I reply, "where are you?" He replies, "I'm near the zombies." I ask, "there are many locations with zombies. Be more specific." He replies, "there are also magic staffs near me."
3) Suicidal Fighters: In a dungeon, a fighter told me, "please stop healing me." I ask, "are you sure?" "Yes, don't heal me." I heal him anyway thinking who doesn't like free heals. He says, "I need to get out of here. I'm trying to die."
4) A solution to not enough damage : A fighter pulls a huge mob and she can't damage the mob fast enough. She yells, "we need to pull more mobs here".
5) Cleric-enhanced fighters : One fighter tells another fighter, "your technique is all wrong. You need to pull mobs like I do." The other fighter replies, "I have the technique, but I don't have your cleric."
7) Cleric Doppleganger: A noob runs up to a mage who holds a glowing staff. The noob says, "buff me". The mage replies, "I can't buff". The noob remains so confused. He asks, "why won't you buff me?"
8) Double Whammy: A fighter inevitably pulls more mobs than he can handle and brings them to a mage. Now they both yell, "heal" and then soon after, "rev".
9) A cleric without a shield: A cleric asks for a party and we bash together for some time. After a while, I ask, "what do you need?" She replies, "a shield".
10) A fighter trapped inside a mage body: Some mages run around and pull mobs like a tank fighter and wonders why a cleric couldn't heal him fast enough.
11) An axe is the solution: A fighter with a 1h sword is keep dying on the upper floors of the tower. He says, he wouldn't die so much if he had an axe.
KQ Experience
1) At the King Slime KQ: People yell, "please rev!" (and clerics can't rev yet.)
At the Robo KQ: People yell, "somebody please buff me!" (and clerics can't buff yet.)
At the Mini Dragon KQ: People yell, "I need a higher level buff!"
2) On rare occasions, only clerics sign up for the KQ: "So who's going to fight?"
3) The Invisible Clankers : There are only two fighters and the rest are clerics in a KQ. A fighter shouts, "Clerics, please clank." So clerics clank. At the end, someone shouts, "only two people were fighting the boss anyway."
4) Lowest Def the Brave: Almost everyone died in the KQ. We regroup with whoever is still left alive. Guess who volunteers to tank the boss? Yep, the lowest def person in the group. Rational: we have a cleric in our group.
Cleric's Motto
We kill with care: "We carefully hand-select each and every monster and kill them one by one with care and time. We give our utmost individualized attention to each monster that we clean up. Because we care."
