    IMO it kinda depends on how you want to play.

    Generally speaking, I'd give the sin the upper hand on grinding, pve, & making coin. Simply because they are much faster killers, and capable of soling quite a few things as they level up. Gear wise a sin is probably the more expensive of the two, but you don't see many 101 clerics soloing frost & tt :P Clerics can solo ok, but at a much slower pace.

    If you plan to find a good faction & make friends, a cleric can find themselves wanted for nearly everything though. With a good group of friends you could team up and do things to make money, just don't plan on making alot by soloing. There is an abundance of sins these days, so if you play one, be prepared for everyone to ask what your aps is and such later game.

    Pvp depends on situation. Sins hands down have an advantage 1 vs 1, but in group pvp like TW clerics can do some amazing things as well. TBH I think group pvp is the only time sins don't shine above most others, but that's just my opinion :)

    All that being said, I personally enjoy my cleric. I'd rather work in groups than spend my time trying to solo everything in game.

    To add on to what Nuts said, since clerics are so rare, a good one is indispensable. Sins on the other hand...we're a dime a dozen because EVERYONE has a sin.

    is better for PVE
    This is optional. I say Cleric because I like magic and healing.

    is better for grinding
    Cleric. They can AoE grind poison mobs like crazy!

    is better for PVP
    Sin

    is better for $$ making
    Cleric. They don't have to waste 700mil on 5aps. XD They can find squads for TT / Nirvana anytime.

    then again, sins can easily make that money back... not only by doing nirvana, by now they can also sell frost heads...

    "attacks per second" is shorthand for 5.0 attacks per second. This is a build a lot of sins and fist bms go for, where they have a bunch of -interval gear so that they hit incredibly fast. It's an expensive build, and requires the right gear, but it's incredibly over-powered. They can solo and tank a lot of things others can't. Many people view them as an unfair build, since it's an exploit of -int equips that wasn't originally intended, and makes for an annoying flooding of such builds in the game.

    Just play both your cleric and sin. Both are good for entirely different things. There's a shortage of clerics these days (see aps-flood comment above), so you will never lack for a squad to do what you want to do. Sins, on the other hand, are just good fun. b:chuckle
