Hi, I'm new to the game and I'll be playing soon. I've taken a look at all the classes, and this one seems the most interesting. So I'd like to know, is it difficult to play/ is it a good class to get the hang of the game? Thanks in advance for any help. =)

    Generally as a cleric you wont missing party, everyone need a cleric. I can tell however that levelling by yourself can be a little hard, because your damage is not that great if you used a support build (that means every two levels 6 magic 3 vit 1 str).
    Personally i find the cleric class very fun to play with. I can help a lot lower lvl players, and Im generally needed in high level parties too, even if the gap lvl is huge, because healing is healing.
    On the other hand, the cost of having skills is too big.
    Many times I find myself thinking "should I lvl up buffs, healing or attack spells" THE BIG QUESTION. SP wont never big enough when you start reaching 30-40 and there are lots of spells to lvl.
    Revive? Ahhh, just put it on lvl one, ppl will complain if you die because of you and lose Xp too, but hey, you cannot do anything.
    Read cannyos sticky guide, its great, vey helpful, and others build guides.

    See you!

    This class is very easy to play, but hard to play at the leet level I would say (as any cleric is). The reason is that to play efficently you shoudl be using all of your toolbar and that includes AOE, Crowd Control, Heals, debuffs, and DD so there is a lot to balance which takes time to learn as in any game. If you have played healers in other games you already know the priority system that is usually employed when in group PvP with your toolset options (or you should if you've been exposed to mass PVP).

    Its a good class, quick to level up with heiros and exp scrolls I'm in the 50s now and still getting a level every 1.5-2 hours on flying mobs grinding.

    You are needed for any party and are crucial in PvP teams. And every guild needs more clerics. It has great survivability when you learn the play the class in a PvP setting (much more then wizard).

    All in All i think it is one of the top classes in game for PvE and PvP. By PvP I am referring more to teams and wars. Solo I prob would not go with Cleric and for PK (alphaing) its prob not the best class since it doesn't have a lot of quick burst damage.
