Yeah, I was wondering if it was a good idea for me to turn on my PvP mode. Clerics are squishy mags, but they have physical attacks and other good things. Is it possible for a cleric to be successful at PvP? And if the answer is yes, what are some good PvP skills/strategies?

Yes, I love PWI that much. Every class is awesome in their own way.

    clerics should pvp ^.^ and they can be real good at it, if your fast on your toes and have a genie with expel on it. Lvl your shield, sleep, paralize, razerfeathers (to combo with plume shot and then sleep, to go past charms with squishys, even though most people will probally say this skill is useless, but ive never been killed by a cleric that slept me and sparked then spamed me with plume shots), and your other 3 basic atack skills. lol, i guess u don't need all of these lvled, but they are all good in pvp.


    Although, clerics probally shouldn't pvp in a pve server at lvl 67, unless you don't have a bunch of 9Xs looking around for any white name to pk. Pve servers lack white names so most people dont' care if your 30 lvls under them, as long as they get something to pk.
    Our GMs, which art invisible,
    Hallowed be thy Alma,
    Thy kingdom come, thy will be done in godless valley,
    As it is in fb29.
    Give us this day our daily quest.
    And forgive us our banning,
    As we forgive those who ban us.
    And lead us not into random pk,
    But deliver us from Hell
    For yours is the Perfect World, the power and the glory,
    Untill the server crashes
    Amen.b:thanks

    It's called Wings of Protection >.> Oh wait.. we has that too :D

    Anyway... Clerics are good in PvP if you know how to play them. The only real things you'll have trouble with are barbs and sins. Sins for obvious reasons, and barbs because of the immense HP, if a barb is charmed you'll have to be creative in killing them. If they have full buffs... I usually just play tick the charm instead of trying to actually kill one >.<

    If you want to PvP keep Chromatic Seal, Elemental Seal, and Dimensional Seal maxxed for your level. Silent Seal has its uses but is useless against half the classes in this game so save it for later.

    Also keep Plume Shot and Razor Feathers maxxed, they are your only physical attacks and without them it'll be extremely hard to kill an arcane class. Start with Plume Shot, put them to sleep and debuff them, then spark and Razor Feathers to get past the charm. At higher levels your Plume Shot can do that on it's own if you have the Demon/Sage version.

    Against HA classes keep your distance, it's best to carry anti stun apoth for BMs or have Fortify on your genie (if it's a dex build) Expel is also great against HA classes because they can't do anything but move around and you can blast them with skills. Always keep Plume Shell up when you can, you may want to wait until lv75 so you can use Herb Yuanxio (without those or an MP charm your shell goes down way too fast). Same basic "bypass the charm" strategy, but using Cyclone, then if they're close to half after one put them to sleep (if you haven't already used it) debuff them, spark, Wield Thunder.

    PvP is all about reactions, you have to notice what's going on around you and how the other classes work. If you practice at it you'll get better over time, with or without help form others. Everything I've learned for PvP is self taught and I do pretty damn well against pkers my level and above. Hopefully this helps, for now just practice in duels if you don't wanna go white... the higher levels will kill you for the hell of it >.<

    Remember... Cleric powah! b:cool

    Razor feather does more damage than plume.
    Razor feather is quite good in PvP.

    Clerics are very good.

    Only way to kill a barb: Get him down to 51% then use your strongest attack.

    I prefer to pretend they don't existb:surrender

    Though.. you can deal with those too. Throw up shell, when they send in the nix wait until it bleeds you, triple spark then use Fortify and kill them. Even if they purge you the only thing they can do at that point is die or run.

    Just ask the nix venos I've killed :D

    EDIT: Forgot to mention the use of the genie skill Seal. If used right after you triple spark the veno won't even be able to purge your spark, and you can blast them away with skills.
