    how do i reset attribute points???

    Buy reset/reset all notes (cash shop items) and bring them to an appropriate NPC (principally elders, though I think there's some others that offer the service.)

    Hi there...
    I'm asking the cleric population out there to tell me if I should shift some points around to make a better cleric.
    Before you ask, I thought that my dex would increase my crit rate.

    Any suggestions are welcomed!

    Question. I'm currently level 41 and I'd like to know if my stats are any good at all. Mind you I have no idea what I'm doing in this game and just been doing quests pretty much solo (which being a cleric I've found extremely hard, lots of deaths). Anyway my stats are (unboosted)

    121 magic
    45 vitality
    27 strength
    27 dexterity

    Now reading the basic cleric guide it'd seem I'm not doing to well with it. At this point i'm struggling to kill the things i get for quests and camping lower monsters is boring for less xp. Should i start over? Buy one of those stat resets (the 25 to all 4 stats). Just continue on with what I'm doing.

    I must also add, its been 100% solo for me besides the boss fights or what ever you call them in this game where the monsters have 50k hp and I die before i can do anything and had to spent allot of time finding some helpful high level thats passing by to do it for me. Should I give up and start an easier class for now and come back later? Hell I'm all over the place I'll stop here.

    With LA I don't believe you can put any into vit, but I may be wrong there. I was pure AA myself.

    Light Armor requires: 1 Str, 1 Dex, 3 Mag every level. No room for putting points into Vit. Though you might try looking into various gears, refining, and sharding if you feel you need more life.

    Happy Gaming ^^

    level 43 right now
    131 magic
    45 vitality
    27 strength
    27 dexterity

    So how should I go about leveling now. From this guide it seems I'm doing it all wrong (and in game it shows). Should I just keep going for now until i get to a higher level, buy a reset scroll at some point to change my stats around? Just start a new cleric? I don't feel like changing class now as this is what i know and for a first account i cbf learning something new when im still in the process of learning this.

    It depends upon which way u wanna go now. your only lvl 43 so u still have a few options and your build right now is leaning more towards a high vit AA Cleric. Remember U dont have to be LA to have better survivability AA works just fine if u use it right, also being LA takes alot more work than AA so just think about which way u wanna go before u make your final decision =p

    hi

    im a lvl 55 mage build my stats go a bit like this s**t loads of mana...... thats it.....
    str only enough to wear robes..

    mean while my gear concentrates on adding hp and py def..
    I run mostly in a group therefore concentrate on being a kick *** healer.. but... i still kick *** in combat if im strategic in the way i use IH.

    Im on the sanctuary server, but duel nearly everyday.. i've only been beaten twice lol XD

    I looked at a few builds before starting my cleric but mostly just did what i found usefull....

    after reading through this guide ive seen, ive pretty much done excatly the right thing when it comes to my skills (thank god)

    very usefull
    thank you

    Pointless update from a few weeks later. I went ahead and bought stat resets. Now being 54 I believe I have something like 10 vit (didn't want to spend 3 extra gold to get rid of 5 points), 167 magic i think, 29 str or so and 5 dex. I know thats not accurate but i cbf logging in right now. Anyway, this is much much better. 3-4 hitting what was taking 5-6 hits before. b:pleased

    Hi :) I've just started playing my cleric today. This guide is very helpful. However, I'm a bit confused by the spell Soon, the Light. I can't find it in the skill tree ....

    So, way back on page 16, this question was asked and never addressed. I have the same question - I can't find Soon, the Light on the skill tree. Is it called something different? I got the impression that the OP was posting the names of skills from a different version of PW.

    Can anyone answer this? Thanks, in advance!

    My first char is a cleric and my stats are:
    62 MAG
    27 VIT
    20 STR
    6 DEX

    And im planning on using a wand when i get further ingame, because now I use the weapons given to me by the Supply Stash that gives something every 5 lvls.

    Where should I go with my stats? Im asking this because I dont wanna mess up my account :p

    I just realized this guide insults thunderball, how dare you good sir lol. Its beastly at end game when your weapon has the power to fuel it. Sage Elemental seal---->Sage Thunderball---->Chromatic seal = painful as hell and there's nothing you can do about it while your ZZZZZZ ing lol

    >.>
    Yeah my sig doesn't match my name...i would say im being all clever and trying to confuse people...but im really just too lazy to make a new one

    ......

    F. Useless Skills
    - Blessing of the Purehearted
    - Thunderball
    Don't get these, ever.

    .....


    I actually had blessing of the purehearted up to lvl 6 for sometime, then did spring surge then stopped on both of them and did iH to max,

    And for the Thunderball i Maxed mine b:victory plus some metal mastery good for solo questing skills, its good if you got windrange incense to increase chan speed for short time while casting it, :)

    for my use, i do it in this combo:

    winrange incense
    relentless courage OR rainbow blessing
    1spark OR 2spark
    Thunderball

    while that is givin the mob dmg over time using plume shot, and great cyclone to kill it,
    sometimes i noticed if i dont use thunderball the monster ends up with very low hp and starts to fight back and kill you, happend to me a couple times >.<



    for the stats build for me are:

    at first look at the next lvl equipment requirements then do these 5 STR for 1 lvl & xx MAG for the rest of the lvls up until all are reached then the next set of 5 STR and rest MAG

    between 5-10 lvls i do 1 lvl with 5pts to vit then stop.
    so in short

    5-10 STR / 10-15 lvls
    xx MAG / each lvl passed puttin into STR


    current stats w/o armor:

    VIT 15
    STR 40
    MAG 285
    DEX 5

    current stats with armor:

    VIT 22
    STR 40
    MAG 302
    DEX 5


    PS: it is good to have a build of the class, but I like having my own build and its for all characters and all mmorpg games i have played which makes a stronger in dmg but low hp in combat.
    PS2: for my use i like Thunderball b:laugh b:victory

    PS3: my ign is Ryuiji
