I need to play cleric!
love the healing, helping and getting helped :d

Still i wonder, do they have curses or something like that?
Like World of Warcraft's priest skill, "Shadow Word: Pain", wich takes damage over time.



Thank you //Sphere

Clerics also have damaging spells for wind/lightning(Which is the elements they use, I think).

Yups. It seems Clerics have both skills that do damage over time as well as debuffs to lower elemental resistance and more. Other than that, it seems that most attack skills (for most classes?) have a chance to put some negative condition on the target. Example: The Cleric skill "Tornado" most times slows the enemies down.

I think I will play a Werefox for solo (and it's actually pretty fun! ^^) and a Cleric for if I can find groups. It's getting harder and harder to solo as a Cleric as you get to higher levels.

I'm playing a yuling (winged cleric). Mind you that attacking a monster or a player while you're flying would result only half damage. not to mention if they can hit u back they run and regen their HP.

Well that's when the targets are on the ground, it's they are in the air you'll attack with 100% power and they won't heal wink

There are certain parts that are extremely boring about clerics. At certain points I found the levelling to be extremely hard. Like level 16 - 18. It was slow, and took forever. In the end, I just went back and levelled up on the low levelled npc.

It's only good if you can kill stuff in 2 hits. 3 is a little bit iffy. I make tonnes of attempts at weapon creation to get high damage. Also, tonnes of attempts at rings :P

I'm eventually going to become an YuLing (Cleric) because I want to try a support class and the YuLing's actives, debuffs, and buffs look awesome!!

Some misunderstandings above: Shame on you
-Clerics don't get pets
-leveling isn't slow at 16+ it just requires more quests per level
-Clerics lightning and wind do metal damage and the feathers do physical
-Cleric's damage is great and all but that whole 2 hitting thing ends once you've gotten out of nubville. I'm lucky now to hit a fourth the enemy's life most the time it's a fifth. (at lvl 20-ish)
-Archers actually don't suck. My friend has been teamed with me the whole time. Sure he gets jealous when I own his damage, but his range is able to improve beyond mine and he gets some lightning skills with FAST CASTING TIMES. Actually he kills enemies about the same speed as me soloing, I'm a tad faster if I don't run into complications.
-Clerics are weak when it comes to taking hits. (5 hits from full health to me dead) I find it hard to solo. You need to use each skill flawlessly and run away... a lot. -the slowing ability of tornado doesn't last more than a 4 seconds so it helps but isn't a solution. Also once you get to above level 10 I can guarentee the enemies won't die before they reach you.
-Archers have a knock-back arrow, this skill ROCKS! ranged characters in this game are about using all the time you have before an enemy reaches you. This buys you a large portion of time to do more damage. (it's also saved me from getting hit on various occasions, save the time he knocked the enemy at me)

Clerics
~advantages
-variety of healing skills
-options of both physical and magic damage (helping against p-def and m-def monsters)
-buffs that not only last more than 5 min. they last 30!!!!!!!!
-Medium-high power

~Disadvantages
-death comes easy
-soloing is more difficult than with other classes, because of not damage but your own death.
- monsters can hit about the amount you can heal (to you)

Archers
~Advantages
-Longer range
-medium power
-a wide array of useful shots (poison, knockback.. etc)
-can survive a fight much easier
-higher def
-lightning skills with fast casting that do only a bit less than clerics same level skills

~disadvantages
-lower damage than the "nukers"
-arrows = no extra money
-low mp makes lightning a "special move" that is used somewhat sparingly

too much typing... I'm going to take a break Brick wall

Great breakdown Azure, thanksSmile

I`m still undecided though, played both on low level.
The archer regularly runs into problematic levels where he feels a bit weak.
I hated it at around lvl 6, then it worked pretty well till about lvl 16, now feels weak again.
My priest is only leveled to 11 or something, but didn`t have such bad times yet. But I am sure they are ahead.
Judged by gameplay fun I prefer the archer, feels more varied.

Azure, how does death come easy for Clerics? I mean they can freaking heal! Do you just mean low HP?

AzureSky after reading that breakdown you made my choice even easier.Applause

Archer, (again) Been playing ranged in most of my MMO's.
Hunter, Sniper, Scout, you name it. The guerilla fighting style has allways attracted me in MMO's, stick and move and keep em away, use the range and terrain to my advantage. Jupp jupp, Archer it is
Since i'm a soul pve player i think that this class will suit me very good in PW aswell.
