I personally have not tried out light armor yet. But here is a thread with some useful opinions about it.

Right now im a lvl 26 almost 27 cleric, Im planning on being a healer/magic user (dps). Im aiming to use light armor with enough str/dex to wear them. The rest into magic with a lil chunk into vit. Im wondering if anyone sees any big problems in this build. Most say clerics should wear arcane but light seems the best cause your resist are higher across the bored. Any tips before a nurf my character would be glady accepted thank ya.

If you want to be a healer / magic user with DPS you need to go arcane

Trust me when you learn to use ur toolset, especially with plume shell arcane and good HPs is really all that you need to be an efficent and effective PvPer either in group or solo.

Also full DPS is the best build for Grinding since obviously if u kill faster you get more xp/hour.

Although try out light armour and arcane and see which you like more, just realize all that dex comes at the cost of damage output, heal-age, and xp/hour rate and at your level which is about 1-2 days playing time you should be focused on grinding grinding grinding.

Hi, im a pretty weak clerics, but have lots of experience from other accounts. I think that light armor is not the best and arcane IS the best because when i compared my light armor to my arcane my arcane was so much better. the light armor was only like +5 for the stuff like metal def. and more, but arcane says +30. This may not be the same for you, but im just telling you this IS what i saw when I compared light armor and arcane.

Vit, vit, vit and more vit. And pretty please with cherry on top don't use light armor. Go with robes, and keep the vit to your level. Str only as much as your equipment needs and the rest to magic. If you plan on being a support cleric you'll NEED the hp. While full magic may work at first during the lower levels, it simply doesn't cut it 60+. You won't be doing a whole lot of healing if you're a one hit kill to a physical aoe from a boss, or if you get jumped by 2-3 mobs while soloing.

As for light amor, unless you plan on being a TW only cleric, forget about it (and even then it's debatable, but let's not get into that discussion .

Do that plz and then get kicked from every party for having absolutely terrible heals. Full MAG for clerics, always. As Forp said, get the HP from equips.

I wanna see at least one pure cleric doing fb 29 at my lvl (since my 35s) b:chuckle

I'm a hybrid cleric, I guess similar to what the build you are looking for in your cleric, but I kinda don't suggest light armor if you are planning to do both healing/support and fighting. I tried to use light armor in the beginning, because of course it's the best of both worlds, in terms of elemental resistance and physical resistance. But the problem is that if you don't keep up with your magic and vitality stats, you run behind in terms of getting some nice weapons, for example the Twilight Temple weapons.

I would suggest for armor, use arcane wear, but try to find some that has some sockets in it. Invest in some stones that have higher physical resistance so your armor could be similar, I understand not the same, as light armor, but is pretty similar of course depending on the amount of money you invest in it.

High levels of magic are a major plus in clerics, especially if you want to go slightly fighter, because it increases your attack strength and mp rate. The main problem with wearing light armor is you have to invest your att. points into both strength and dexterity. I have 41 dex, but I found that it in increases your crit hit rate.

Just because you put stats on vit, doesnt mean you'll have "terrible" heals. O_o
Putting points on dex, however.. is.. ugh. *collapses*

i personally like full magic im a level 32 cleric and i hit over 1000 every time and in my exp most of the monsters have elemental attacks so i go with arcane robes i also put my buffs in a combo

Adding vit to any magic build is entirely useless as you only gain 10 hp per vit. It's best to keep the pure magic and just get your hp from equipment.

In an ideal world thats what you would do, but its not always possible especially if you're not keen on refining your armor. I think its quite a good idea to keep some minimum level of vit in case your armor's not giving you any +hp.

No.It is not useless to put points in vit and to go pure mag.Shards aren't enough to boost your hp as well as equipment.

^Haha this thread is way old. He has changed his mind since then.
