    I agree^^ i have no tourble solo mobs, but bosses are somthing different... We as cleric can heal ourselves before, during, after the fight so therefore we can always solo... you just got to know how to kill...

    Agreed. ^^

    Clerics aren't the best solo class (that goes to Venomancers I think), but we're still pretty good at it. It all depends on how you handle your skills, heals and mp. With a good weapon and decent equipment, you'll have enough survivability to solo most quests if you're careful and keep your buffs activated. That's how I mostly level and I had little trouble with it except with bosses.

    One of the things I love about clerics is versatility, being able to deal both physical and magical damage and being able to kite mobs effectively using whirlwind. In a face-to-face fights, ironheart blessing comes in very handy. When kiting, it's essential to keep hp and mp pots on hand, to pick a good route and to use whirlwind as frequently as possible. Different skills work better on different mobs. You just have to adjust your strategy for the mobs you're facing.

    If it hasn't been said already, I'd like to add: "MAKE SURE YOU ARE ALWAYS SELF-BUFFED."


    And if you haven't maxed spirit's gift yet... You need to RUN to the skill trainer and do it immediately.

    So I have a cleric (lvl 85). So the cleric I've leveled always through parties just as a support but recently I've grinded for exp. However it's killing abilities stink..all the other classes could kill them way easier...am i just using the skills wrong? Also, no it's not an equipment issue...

    You're probably like me -- relatively imatient with grinding and constantly jealous of other classes with their bam bam no-mana-pots approach. *cough archers*

    It's not even so much that clerics can't grind (I know they can). I just personally don't have the patience for the time to cast each spell, the seemingly small chunks of the mob's HP each spell manages to take (I mean face it... what crits?), and the crawlling pace it takes to get from one mob to the next. My solution? If you find that grinding isn't working ---- FFs. Amen.

    I haven't seriously grinded since level 40s, and even then I was armed with 5 seasons of House. Just be sure to do *all* your dailies. BH (get 2 if possible), CS, WQ, Cube, Marriage quests. One FF a day keeps the grinding boredom away =)

    I guess you just don't know how to kill. Cause I've been doing fine, in fact since I hit 80 I'm even doing better. My favorite are poison bleed monster, I can agroo a bunch of them. I still do crusader order whit 60 Petalis ( LV72 ) And I agroo around 20 each round. It take me 6 minute to agroo them and kill them. Lately I also do Couraget Master of Arms, ( LV82 physical mob ) And I build my chi and have fun aoe 4 to 6 of then in 1 shot. Whit an HP charm I do 202020 has a tank in fb69. But FB79 monsters still require 3 heal and 1 attack for me to make it out alive. Whit A cleric I can tank fb59.

    So I would say it's a yes !
