    Lol i shudder to think you might one day become a politician, you have such a knack for spin.

    Oh, believe me, I don't want to be a politician. What point is there, in getting the position? Even if I were to become adept enough to fool the populace in general to elect me, we all know that real power comes from the idiots that band together to pass stupid laws and resolutions. One person doesn't have enough sway to stop stupid people in large groups. Besides. I'm happy being one of the billions of people that enjoy making fun of the idiots from a comfortable position of complete and utter obscurity. b:chuckle

    And you're right. Let's stop the pointless debate. It's just making us argue. No point in fighting, when we could be playing, right? Maybe I'll meet you in game one of these days.

    enjoy your non dieing build its good for some, some of us on the other hand like to kill things in game at a reasonable rate, but theres tradeoffs for everything

    Honestly, my biggest problem? I have the attention span of a small rodent. It's why I can't play a cleric. I get distracted too easily. I zone out with a Mag build, and suddenly, I'm dead. With this, I have time for the "Oh, ****" factor. That's why I said it was a necessity... I just don't have what it takes to be a Mag Veno. Yep. You heard that. I suck at this game too much to play a Mag Veno. b:pleased

    LA is simply easier to build around, and to make a build out of same level HA that is like hers (OP) you will end up sacrificing a lot of Vitality to have the same amount of Magic she does, but that is assuming she only has enough Dex/Str to use LA.

    I'm coming from the perspective of a HA/Arcane veno.

    Rillien, if you wouldn't mind, could you list a few successful ways of doing so? I'm sort of (and by sort of I mean "I am") a new player, and my favorite class so far is the Cleric. So I'd really appreciate seeing how other people play to get some ideas for myself.

    For me, I shard all my armour with average shards [you should get higher grade if you can afford them] and refining armour for additional hp bonuses. Light Armour gives a better hp bonus after refinement than arcane armour. It's also important to look for armour with hp bonuses or +vit built into them. I get around 800 hp from my gear, although I still don't have as much as a vit cleric my lvl.

    A vit build is probably the easiest for survivability though. Follow one of the vit builds I mention above and put physical defense shards into your armour, and you should have enough hp to survive most things.

    And when you're doing PvE, just make sure to use ironheart blessing on yourself (our heal over time spell) if you're in a situation where the mob is too powerful for you. Take advantage of all the heals in your arsenal and you should have a great time playing cleric. It's an awesome class.

    We've seen the threads talking about classes in general. They're a dime a dozen. So, I want to know about you, the individual. What are you good, and bad at, and why? How did you build your character, and how do you play it? Where do you shine, and where do you fail?

    I am a Veno. I have what most would consider an "Awkward" build. I have sacrificed my magic power to put points into Vit. On top of this, I play both trees, Fox, and Caster. While I have the armor build for LA, I carry Arcane robes as well.

    What I can do:
    Function as an optional tank. I can tank bosses like Slitt, Slither, Kimsa, Luminoc Architect, Gouf, Krixxix, and Suzerix without a pet in Fox Form. With enough Venos, I can do Luminoc Architect, Gouf, Khewy, and a couple of FB51 bosses with my pet.

    Solo FB 39 and lower with my pet, and 19 without a pet at all.

    Debuff the **** out of things. I have my curses in Fox Form, and I also carry several pets with Debuffs to help the main tank do his job. I have pets with Threaten to reduce Physical Attack, and I can use Amp and Purge to keep a boss down, as well as using Befuddling Mist to lower it's accuracy.

    Solo without having to freak out when an add gets on me. With as much Vit as I have, I can switch over to Fox Form, while my pet fights the mob it's on, and start swinging back. With the proper combination of Mist and Leech, I can keep my HP up until my pet finished the mob it's on, and comes to help me.

    What I cannot do:
    Solo TT. It's not happening. Period. My pet heals are way too weak to keep up with any of the damage in there, even in solo mode.

    Grind as fast as other classes. Due to my weakened magic, I can't get the killing speed that others can, and it also makes me fodder for KSers.

    Equip the weapon for my level. I have to wait 18 levels before I can equip a weapon, cutting my power even further.

    Tank Jewel, or Kong. I'm a minitank. There's no way on Earth I'm standing up to those beasts.

    So, how about you? We have anyone here that sets a glowing standard? Do you make your build look good? When someone has a task, do they turn to you for your help? Brag a little. Let loose, and tell us what makes you, well, YOU.


    I do lots of Pewpew and I make em Q.Q

    I think that sums it up.
