Cleric question

[talltower]

im more focused on soloing as a cleric. would 2:1 End Str be my best bet?

[Sirril]

I've been told 2:1 END/SPR is a good idea,and it's certainly what I'm using.*I think this is because STR & DEX increase quite nicely per level,and the more SPR you have the better your MP pool for the longer solo battles with many heals. You could just focus on STR/DEX items later on.


Having said that,I'm not aiming to be a 100% 'battle cleric' (a hybrid I think; no points on DEX/STR as I can always use items to boost them later) so your 2:1 END/STR might be a good idea for your build. But I certainly do think STR raises quite nicely per level enough to consider a few points on SPR if your mp pool (or focus on SPR items aside) seems lower than your heal/bash cost later on.


Just my thoughts.

Well, I believe that a character should be well rounded, so though points are a problem i put everything into


Str, Dex, Spr, and End.


Stupid? wasting points? Maybe, but I see my-self killing a whole lot, and effectively healing, and my MP is huge too!

[tomcat025]

I have no issues whith healing others while killing and my SP is huge as well.


In my opinion it is a waste to put points into str or dex. Both stats raise well enough on their own.


Again this is my opinion.

Thats me: Guildless and Solo most of the time ( Actually, now Level 6X, I party or duo a LOT more than I used to but I soloed mainly til about Lvl 54-55... I am All STR for soloing purposes...

I'll tell you right now that - although Im still happy with myself - I wish that I would've went 2:1 STR/END or maybe your 1:2 idea... Thats all I can add here

At 70, Rilka has
- 25 str, to boost my LOW dmg, 38 Punch HIT on GS, not crit, while fighters of about 66 were doing 8~12
- 5 Dex, Back from when I first started. Can't restat it sine Ril hit about 50? when the stat resets came out ~.^
- 30 End, effective for dmg taking, which is usually the only way I survived the few abyss AoE's I went to, since all the aggro came to me any way.
- 25 Spr, for that added 5% crit XD

So thats how it is.

For a solo cleric, Full STR is far and away your best option. It increases your damage by a lot (free stat STR bonus ignores defense), and when you're a solo cleric, your damage is all that matters. Your heals and natural defense are more than sufficient to keep you alive.

Some people recommend SPR for criticals, but you will do more overall damage if you skip the SPR and just add everything into STR.
