    Nice guide btw! ^^

    Yesh aoe grinding is fun but for clerics theres not many opportunities to do it so make the most of them while they're there!!

    Oh one thing you could possiblly add to the guide Nelae is using genie skill Nullify poison. Normally when i'm gathering i purify/heal while i fly, then once i've gathered enough I fall to ground/group them. Nullify poison is good to use here to give you some breathing space to stack several heals on yourself before you start aoe'ing. b:thanks

    Thank you very much for the guide!

    What I'm having trouble with is getting enough mobs... Doing Orchid Hetalia now... tried all areas... whenever I come, even in stale hours, there are a bunch of people... who either start ksing or "saving the damsel in distress" (1 hero died today after trying to razor my kill lol) b:surrender... I end up losing half mobs & only ending up with 6 or 7... b:cry

    Also if anyone is selling 8/9lvl arcane gear with high wood res I would love to take it off your hands b:thanks for a fee of course.

    I was thinking the other route, gathering them and then using apoth wood reduct to set them up and then during Razor/Tempest/Razor use the Nullify or Faith skill to allow me that large damage spike safely. Haven't made the genie yet for it, been focusing on my rebirth genie and damage genie first. Let us know if it works well switching the activation time for faster killing if you try it.

    I only pull 14-16 since I have a charm >.>

    Lvl 5 purify, lvl 8 Razor Feathers, a little over 5.2k wood resist when buffed,
    close to 2.2k hp

    If i pull more than 16 I tick my charm, I'm assuming if i didnt have a charm id be able to do over 25 without dying :),

    Good guide btw

    I would ask of you fellow clerics to show some respect to each other while doing aoe grind.

    Its not nice to just drop in while someone gathers, rather than that wait for him to finish and ask when is he done, or take turns.

    And if you are in a big guild it does not give you right to ks or anything like that, it just makes you look bad b:surrender

    Petile in the far down right corner of the world map. Make the perfect farming mob for exp/spir/coins till lv70, cause of the numbers that you can find and pull.

    Any suggestions for level 71+? I found the level 72 pentili look alikes, but none are grouped well enough to pull more then 4-5 at a time (They're in valleys and on mountain tops, etc. Not bunched together) Also the ones that look like palm trees look good, but they are scattered and mixed in with aggro mobs of other classes. I can't seem to find a good AoE grind spot for level 71 and up yet.

    Anyone got some good suggestions? I promise I'll share :)

    ooo you should add nullify poison as an optional move if your AOEing poison mobs ^^. i find it helpful after i purify to land another move or for a last min heal.oops forgot to mention it was a genie skill lol

    Poison mobs aren't in the habit of interrupting. When they use poison, it simply makes a stack and doesn't cause interrupt, you might have had something else behind you hitting you for ranged damage interrupting.

    Pretty sure it was actually addressed in one of the pages in here. I know someone mentioned it for assisted healing, and I mentioned using it during casting Tempest when taking on 30+ mobs at once to offset loss of IB stacks due to the long channeling time. Works well, but doesn't work as good as a purify does. Only delays it instead of healing what you already have basically.

    Hmm, i will, tho it is mentioned on some page here.
    But it does not remove poison so, unless you like buying perfect chi stones, its only optional ;p

    good guide ^^. but LA CAN do it just as good as any other cleric =P.

    and to get the best results, the cleric should have Nulify Poison as a genie skill, and "Trash" AA w/ ++Wodd resist(the armors that only have 2 or 3 resists on it, like physical/wood/fire). and can socket w/ hp shards or/and wood resist shards

    and for a vid on how, i found this on youtube from a cleric on sanc. server. it's not me, and credit goes to KoTT ^^.

    Thnx! And yeah i need to add genie skills and some other mambo jambo lol.

    About LA, yes a LA can do it, but then again if you cant pull 20+ mobs your level i dont see the point of AoE grind any way. (just my thought)

    and u have proof that a LA pulls less that an AA. cause last i checked, LA could wear the same armor as AA, the only difference would be dmg, mp, crit%, hp.
    vit AA:
    same dmg as LA, less crit, same mp, more hp
    pure AA:
    more base dmg than LA, less crit, more mp, same/less(hp helm) hp
    hybrid:
    about 300 more dmg, less crit, 1.5k more mp, slightly more hp


    also, where do u grind? cause out of all the aoe spots i know of, theres ppl doing quests on those mobs, and theres barley over 18 in the whole area.

    *note: i am a hybrid AA cleric*

    b:chuckle Lol I don't mind. There are A LOT of wood mobs there & lots of clear areas to gather them, so it shouldnt be a problem, unless a bunch of clerics all come at once >_<

    It varies how busy a spot in. Even the orchid petali area had 0 people at it when I flew through on WQ once, and after info was first posted Sanctuary had that spot filled for quite a while.

    The big reason is Rebirth, and people leveling. The ones who read about it started doing it, and there was not enough places to hold them. As they leveled up, and none of the threads explaining it were stickied, the lower level areas cleared since the people who knew about it passed it.

    And Nullify Poison is great for casting Tempest with 30+ spiders on you at once.

    i just hate when i'm aoe grinding and a passing player starts attacking the mobs im gathering. usually i let them die, then i tell them my res is at 1(it's at 10). it's usually bms o.o, they come to me asking for buffs, but start killing my mobs >=(

    someone mentioned wood resist shards but how do they hold up compared to hp shards. im curious because of the diminishing returns wether they will benefit more than having the extra hp.
    has anyone tested this at all?

    more base dmg than LA, less crit, more mp, same/less(hp helm) hp


    I can definately prove you that a LA cleric has definately more HP than a Pure AA build.

    Not forr anything but let's check the average equipment of a late 7x-8x LA Cleric.

    - Helmet. heavy helm of zanadu (reward from FB51). 140 + 60 HP +3 VIT. Overall 230 HP (+ sockets)

    - Chest. Grieving Sorrow, +80 HP

    - Leggings. Dark Shringuard of Hedes, +105 HP

    - Bracer. Bloodbracers of Fang. +80 HP

    Overall: +475 HP, 47 VIT points. Without mentieon the possibility to wear cool Elemental ornaments, Like equine talisman, +80 HP also...

    PS By the way, it's obvious that LA has hard time in AoE grinding. What i meant to say, is that at lvl 80 i have 4,4k HP buffed. I challenge whichever Pure AA (obviously, excluding crazy cashshopping on refines and +45 vit tomes, lol) to reach that HP level. I see most of average Hybrid cleric don't have more HP than me. And i have 5 VIT. Think about it.

    PS, my armor is refined +1, cape +2. Nothing of exceptional.
