I saw that clerics have a very good atack comparative to archers and i can't understand why because the archer have a lot of points on dex.I am very confused. Maybe clerics have a lower defence than the archers but they have healing spells so this isn't a problem. I have a lvl 36 archer and i don't know if it's good to continue on him.Pls can somebody tell me how to make a cool archer or if i should make a cleric?

    i think the archer die much easily than a cleric b:cry but it is important how to choose your armour(if it has sockets its better,if it doesnt try to addb:victory )..

    I think I've died a grand total of about 6 times as a archer. And thats me making stupid mistakes. As long as you do enough damage to kill them before they get to you, your good.

    Well, there IS such a thing as battle cleric, which would explain why a cleric can be a DD as well. However if you are looking to help in parties you shouldn't really go for a battle cleric build because then your buffs and heals will suck. But yes, unlike in other games (like Flyff) clerics aren't just helpers who cannot kill a lil rabbit if their life would depend on it, they can solo..and hit hard, though archers definitely have the dps and higher crit rate on them.

    The best heal to level as a "Battle cleric" is Ironheart Blessing, which is a rather popular healing spell (never had to use another in a FB or anything). Couple that with the "Battle Cleric"'s full mag build and healing is pretty good for them. Only problem is the low MP regen and High MP cost for skills (Level 30 and 1 skill costs 95 the other 84 =/)

    archers are late bloomers in the game (since our crit rate in early lvl is a heck)

    clerics are already useful early and late game and are good DD too...

    if u compare a lvl 1-25 archer to a 1-25 cleric, i can say archers are pwned in all aspects..

    at lvl 26-50, u will now see that archers can kill as fas as a clerics can do..

    at late lvl's 70+, archers are the ones who will u call for to be a damage dealer since our crit rate is our specialty, and crit means monsterous dmg...

    yet for the clerics, they can do good damage but not good offense as an archer yet they have better survivability rate than us...always a must in any form of party (TT, FB, boss hunt, zhen, etc)

    we are the highest dmg dealer class in the game, next to wizards (but we deal more atk in a matter of time so i think we are as the same as wizards)

    well, that's it, if ur an addict in online game, and a killer wanna be, archers is the best choice (since archers only rise late game), if u wanna be this mr or ms popular, then be a cleric since ur always being asked for help.
