I'm planning of creating a Cleric but worried of not finding a party.

I play The international version but I live in france....Will the time difference affect my search for a party...let alone a leveling friend?

    There are always people on. I have been on at every single hour of the day at some point in time, and trust me, there are always people on.

    Sometimes more than others, but I don't think it would affect you finding a party. I've actually met a few people who are playing from other countries and timezones, so obviously I was on, as well as the ton of other people who were.

    As for not being able to find a party, thats a really silly thought. Clerics play a vital part of FB squads, Boss parties, pretty much anything requiring a healer.

    If you're grinding or something, don't panic if there's nobody around to grind with, as Clerics are pretty decent solo grinders, with their mix of physical and magical spells, buffs/debuffs, etc.

    Best things for a cleric to solo grind on are flying wood poison mobs, clerics totally wipe the floor with them. b:victory

    Just so you are aware, pre lvl 59 you won't be parying all that much anyway. When you get your FB's you're too low lvl to heal any group doing them, and the'll bring a 59+ cleric anyway. You can heal for some boss quests thought but those end within 15minutes.

    As for regular quests, after teaming up a few times with barbs and BM's and finding out you could actually be killing quicker solo, and not have to any mp healing them just 3 shotting mobs, you'll realise you dont need a party.

    I'm 44 and i can tell you, i can heal very well no matter what we go do, but until 59+ we're concidered "too low" by everyone else because we don't have our blue ball of healing doom. Most classes can get away with going to do things in parties at lower lvl's, except for barbs and clerics. Everyone wants high lvl barbs or clerics no matter what.

    It's not unusual to have a 10 lvl difference between barb/cleric and everyone else in the group. Simply because they can get away with it, but no one wants to risk it with the barb/cleric. So don't expect to be partying much pre 59, and if you do don't expect it to be a lot of fun. Grind your way to 59+ and everyone will harrass you 24/7 b:chuckle

    Between level 1~20 you might have a hard time finding a party since you will be disposable, there will be lots of clerics running around. Once you get to arch people will always want you in their party, clerics are the heart of the party and you will be needed and wanted. Even a low level cleric can be helpful with fb's and bosses if a higher level cleric isn't on. You will probably have no trouble at all finding friends people are on all hours of the day and come for all over the place.
