I have searched the forums for a solid PVP build for a cleric but couldnt seem to find one. I am thinking about going full Int except enough STR to wear light armor and add some vit although I am not sure how much. Any solid builds out there?

    I can't give you a solid build for a PvP cleric. But I can tell you one thing about light armor.

    If you want the best light armor and the best magic weapon for your level, you can't put ANY points into Vit. Why? Because to reach the minimum requirements for light armor, you have to put 1 Str, 1 Dex every level. For your weapon, it's 3 Mag every level. That ties up all 5 of your stat points each level. Some people experiment with using lower level armor or a weapon to add to vit. However, I've never tried this and cannot vouch for it.

    If you want Vit and the best armor and weapon, robes are the way to go. However, these can make you so very squishy to physical attacks.

    Read Cayeon's sticky up above for a break down of every build compared to Pure Int.

    best PvP in my opinion is going going robes and 9int 1str for 2 lvls untill bout lvl 30 or 40 so u level fast

    then u should start to pump vitality as much as u can so u survive (6int 3vit 1str)
    that will reduce your damage but the main point is to survive to dish out damage, glass cannons will be spotted fast and focused down

    important for that build is that u level Plume Shell to lvl 10 as fast as possible because thats what makes you survive against physical classe, against magic u have your robes obviously

    This is excately what i did on my build for pvp cleric. I have a lvl 76 so far and as long as u REfine to least +3 ur armor and ur weapon ull own almsot everyone around ur lvl. U dont need vit when u can add that right backwith a few +3 or higher items. The only way to make this build supreme though is have alot of money to invest in hat character. Try it....

    This is solely my own opinion, I am not contradicting your opinion,

    Archers, clerics and mages rely on spiking high damage in PvP
    They are not supposed to tank shots
    That is that reason I believe pure Int is the way to go.
    LA get more Phy defence sure but less Mag defence
    And plume shell is all the Phy defence I need
