I already have this gear...Was just wondering if it would be worth making a LA Cleric? Or should I live with the epic squishiness and be Arcane (: Comments, thoughts, no trolls, plz ^^

    I recomend you restart into AA cleric, so the dex points will go on vit or magic.

    At lv100 you must have more than 4k hp unbuffed to be able to survive, if the cleric dies almost the full squad dies with you. LA build sacrifices the vit/magic for dex points.

    For the phy def you can shard you gear with garnets, I bet that many of the AA gear from Action house is already garnet sharded. Protection ornaments helps aswell.

    As cleric you need the most magic points that you can add, it means better heals and attacks.

    LA add some more critical but is not worthing at all and also it sacrifices magical defense.

    If you want to keep your LA build you have to invest many in game coins for citrine shard and refines to get a nice hp to survive.

    Highly recommend a pure.

    And a pure cleric is pretty good at surviving with IH spam. I can take down elite mobs in BH alone (one at a time so far) and I don't have 3*gear or TT atm. The group just kinda.. watched me kill it on my own. Thanks group b:chuckle

    But ya, personally, totally worth it to be pure.

    If you can't fathom being pure, maybe a vit build will be better. However, I highly recommend just doing AA and being pure ^^

    Ok, I compared Pure and LA myself, and found AA to be much better in terms of Matk, Mdef, and PDef (with garnets) Thanks guys for the help :D

    I'm currently experimenting with a LA cleric build that around 90 would have the same mag attack as my AA Vit build cleric does.
    Dawnx_- 101 Sage Cleric.
    Dawnx- 100 Demon Cleric.
    DawnMyst- 94 Mystic.
    Doom_Panda- 101 R9 Barb 23k HP. :D
    PsychicTuna- 90 Sage Psychic.

    PANDAS FTW!!!

    I tried my cleric of +100 with LA, vit & pure build. Based just on personal experience I like pure, but depends what you want, for instance my other cleric is almost full vit now, just to get as much survivability to heal me as possible.

    Play around with PW calc and you'll find that LA is not as effective as AA in most categories (probably all, but I want to shy away from blanket statements).

    If I had the time and patience, I'd just put some builds together and throw some numbers your way, but you are smart enough to do it on your own.

    Anyway AA > LA at endgame anyway, generally speaking.

    Early on in game LA for a cleric can be fairly useful because a lot of the mobs are either melee or do ranged phys attack. However near and at end-game it's fairly useless because you can get a lot of gear with great physical defense either through ornaments, capes, and even certain types of AA. This character has most of the parts to the legendary 90s gold AA, including Cape of Underworld Slayer, and it has reduced physical dmg taken bonuses.

    Essentially, if you go LA you still get the decent phys defense but you would have to switch out to AA when fighting elemental mobs, I myself have experimented with LA but I found that I would have to switch armors a lot because I would be really squishy. Also, you hp gets nurfed in LA, but this is speaking from someone who has over 100 base vitality now ._.
