Hi. I've looked at the cleric guides but I'm not sure which is better: the light build or the balanced build??
Light armor: 6 int, 2 str, 2 dex
balanced: 6 int, 1 str, 3 vit

I want a build that gives me good damage when dealing with monsters as well as strong healing powers. Also I'd like to be able to generate MP and HP without buffs pretty constantly, MP especially since I've heard MP gets expensive later on :(.

Thank you for any suggestions!

    if you want regen, light armor isn't for you. besides, you don't need it. you need to be able to take a few extra hits, whether it be physical or magical, vit will help you.

    Is a Hybrid build good (7-8 int, 1 str, 1-2 vit per 2 lvl)? How important do you think dex is? In the long run will it lessen damage monsters have on you?

    dex is bad if you dont plan going light armor, and it wont lessen the dmg.
    8mag-1vit-1str every 2lvs is a lighter vitality build, lill more dmg and you can stand more hits, so not bad for pve.

    I am now lvl 71 Cleric, i wear all arcane as ive been informed a cleric is excelent for AoE attacks and therefore needs a good element resistance.

    My stats are as follows

    Vit 39
    Str 40
    Mag 290
    Dex 22

    Without buffs my regen rate is 61 mana and 35 Hp, which is pretty good for me i think.

    With plume shot lvl 10 i hit on mobs my lvl 5,000 to 5,400

    With Magic attack Cyclone i hit 5,500 to 5,800

    Also with a magic attack of 4062-4122 i can take out most mobs very easily and often take agro from some pretty good damage dealers which are my lvl or even higher.

    Element resistances are around the 7,000 mark, there pretty good when coming accross boss mobs such as Mantavip, although a mage with water resist is better for that, i have actually tanked mantavip before.

    This is my way of playing, ive asked many clerics what there stats are and mine seem pretty average compared to there's, as most tend to put more on Vit so they can take a few more hits, but also bare in mind that Mag stats also reduce the amount of damage you take.

    Hope this helps out most who wish to create cleric account, please do add to this if you feel ive spoken out of place, feedback is always good.

    Good luck in PW
