When I duel archers usually 2 scenarios.

They start with Wings Of Grace, so I start to channel my tempest, by the time Wings Of Grace is done casting.. The tempest goes down 1 quick cyclone and it's usually end of duel.

Archers have stunning arrow
It can crit
It can do damage
It can stun
It can hurt
But.. Spark can resist it, I'll leave the rest to your imagination..

Honestly: The only time F.A.C./F.S.C. should apply is when you FIRST make your cleric: And then, at that - You still HAVE TO HAVE the F.S.C capabilities To take care of your party members. (skills - aka: Ironheart Blessing, Wellspring, Purify, Your Res) Mostly due to the fact - people are idiots. [Even other clerics, b:chuckle]

As your cleric progresses(and your own skill): If you still say you are just a F.A.C. - or a F.S.C., you're full of it. When, I started the game:

I started as a F.S.C. - until my late 40's/50's because I got tired of having to rely on other people to help me get kill quests done. (The Charm costs where redicious.)

Thinking back: and maybe this will be of some help. As long as you level: Ironheart Blessing, purify, and your buffs. Then level some Damage skills(so you can kill mobs). *P.S. Don't level Purehearted Blessing, it's useless!*

When you get into your late 60/70's you'll get the excessive spirit and possible coin flow to finish maxing out all your available skills. (In which you can fully make yourself into a F.E.C. "Full Everything Cleric"

Also: Every Class in this game has it's weaknesses'
Archers - are just as weak to clerics, as they are to them.
Venomancers - even w/phoenix can be delt w/. (usually, sleep the nix, paralyze the veno. and gank - if you can. If it fails: oh well, it's just a Guardian Angel.)
Barbs - Are usually weak to any magic user: but due to they're HP you might want some assistance
BM's - Use your de-buffs anti stun apothecary , slow - and kite like hell when apoc is cooling off.
Wizards - depending upon class, and armor: are usually typically a push over.

Anyways.

I hope this helps a bit..

You can also use Lightning Chaser to interrupt their cast of Stunning Arrow. Or use Spark to avoid it as well.

hehe.. were the Devs on drugs when they added that? hah don't try with venos...

the key to beating bramble hood is: sleep > walk away. it wares off after 15 seconds. if you time it, you can get a skill off right as hood falls.

though i'm probably the only damned person here who can do that, because i seem to be the only priest alive that levels all their skills and doesn't choose a ridiculous "skill-based" build.

You're not the only one. :P I've leveled everything. :S.

well i know you have. just generally speaking of everybody in the cleric section.

I'm full attack.

Why level your heals and revives? Clerics do an AMAZING job at DD'ing. Better than wizards. AND we can debuff, so we do more damage. Debuffing is CRUCIAL to playing a full attack cleric.

Heals and revives are wasted time when you could be otherwise DD'ing.

The main reason I've done everything: is because, I can swap to whatever - in any given situation. Mind you, I play on the Carebear Server: and spend MOST of my time in TT/FB99/Cube.

Oh yeah, Grtz on lvl 91. :P.

And Clerics, Are ungodly DD's: I cant wait until I get my Demon Metal Mastery - and get up to a 12% Critical Rate on Pure Arcane.

Why not? You're level 91, it's not like your spirit load is so insanely high you can't afford too. You're being stubborn at that level if you can't level Revive.

No you don't. Your strategy is correct, if you can tank the damage (I might also recommend cauterize on the genie and plume shell the physical damage), but you don't 3-shot nixs your level. You simply don't.

3 shot a bird, yes. cyclone > wield thunder > cyclone. cyclone hits 1.3k, wield thunder hits.. 1.9-2.1, something like that. and then another cyclone. sometimes, yes, it has been a 4 hit job because of a low end spike, but generally birds 80-85 die in 3 hits.
