all those guides have some fail coz they are old

that whole idea 'x vit y mag z str every two lvls' is damn ****

f.e.


lolwut thats balanced?
base 140 vit at 90lvl (so >180 vit gear) is balanced build? oh lmao


will somebody write good hp guide someday? like with 'progressive build' (including point resets which everybody does at certain point) or just recomened hp every 10 lvls (including what things u wanna do)? +link to pwi calculator


can somebody inform newbies that every cleric shud aim at highest mag stat (mag attack) possible (comfortable) and that vit is just 'patch stat' to cover lack of hp and should be always considered as 'necessary evil' lol
(yup, even if u have 150 vit- u have it coz u think u must have it for certain reason - not coz it s just good to have h-vit stat)


bleh, eot

I just copied/pasted info that was right there while OP said he couldnt find it.

and well its always a matter of personnal preference.
Pure magic build will only work if you have the gear to go with it IMO, as if you dont have proper HP/p.def you WILL get one shoted by AOEs.

For someone who doesnt mind investing a bit later on I recommend 1 vit per 2 lvls until you reach 50 vit. then pure magic after that. (to restat to pure magic at 90 or 80 if you get the tt80 gold armor ).

50 vit = 500 hp more which IMO can help alot in lower levels when you are not refining your gear yet. It may be a weak return, but it adds up in the end.

never sed that specific build is better than other

im just against mindless propagating any

What do you mean you were going though pots mana that I can understand?Pure Mag. have more mana that hybrids do.

hmmm... 500 more HP (and some extra pdef) or 700 more MP and a small bit extra Magic Attack...

IH is modified by +30% of base mag attack. Lets be generous and say each point of Mag= +4mag attack (it's less, but I don't know the exact formula). That adds a whopping +60hp to each Ironheart...

Okay, so you are an "attack cleric"... your main attack spells are your base magical attack modified by some % of weapon damage. Using my overly generous fake formula above this adds (potential) 200 damage to each attack.

On mobs my level (82) I hit for 3500-6000 with plume shot and 7000-10000 with wield thunder. An extra 200 points per shot on mobs with 30k hp makes little difference. This is with tt70 magic sword only once refined...

I've tried vit, LA & pure builds on my cleric. So far I like the pure most... It's Pve server though. Don't remember last time I died. Lvl 98

You must be talking about restatting to pure mag... slogging through the first 60 levels getting one hit all the time doesn't sound fun. Some of the level 80 and especially 90 gear adds enough vit and pdef to make restatting to pure mag possible without losing too much survivability.

I said I didn't know the exact formula, but it is far below my hypothetical example. All one has to do is put a point into mag with their weapon unequipped to see what the actual increase is at their level.

I am not advocating any particular build either, just saying that for approximately 50 points of vit the hp and phys def you get MIGHT be a good trade for the attack power you lose...
And maybe if you are concerned about having the highest possible damage output per shot... re-roll as a wizard...

Edit: Deleted snarky comment about literacy. (or perhaps just replaced it...)

OK ran a comparison in pw calc for a lvl 60 pure build and lvl 60 with 50 vit. only equipment was a unmodified ancient arbor

pure = mag atk 2320-2738, 1230hp

50vit = mag atk 2038-2405, 1680hp

do remember that again though none of know the exact formula the mag stat seems to be a multiplier rather than simply addition.

You must be talking about restatting to pure mag...

Rofl... obviously I wasn't talking about making 3 seperate clerics to test builds... b:embarrass

Im a Barb, who, was getting in w/ the wrong crowd in bh's. So, I decided to make a cleric. However, isnt a cleric supposed to be an assisting character? Cleric = Medic, right? So he should just use bandaids on other characters? As a Barb, who has been doing the 4-1 for 50+ levels, it was hard for me to understand that I shouldnt fight. So in that essence, how should I stat? Pure? Someone please let me know, Thx.

u should try posting 40lvl cleric stats to prove vit >mag

Well first noone is trying to prove that one build is better than the other. We are just trying to show the trade off. Thats why i used lvl 60 with no equipment but an arbor because its a good median for ppl to look at and its a point where capping at the 50 vit that was mentioned earlier is easily done. I prefer the full mag build but then again I got legendary gear with refines and shards which makes up for my lack of vit. Its all in how you play the game. Want to play cheaply, do alot of BH and level quickly add some vit and dont worry abt gear as much. If you dont mind leveling a bit slower, grind out level and accumulate coin to build up your gear go full mag. Again no one build is better.... unless you go HA then theres really not much hope b:shutup

Second..... i cant seem to get on pwcalc so i cant test itb:surrender

It's a safer bet in earlier levels putting some into vit. How much? Depends on how much you're comfortable with. Keep in mind that you want to do enough damage to kill things fast enough (slower kills means more pots to burn through) yet survive some nasty ****. Later on, you WILL need a lot of HP so either plan on having vit or refining/sharding the hell out of your gear. There are handfuls of bosses clerics simply do not survive unless they have enough HP or phys def, and a full magic cleric is really a horrendous idea if one ever plans on actually doing that annoying thing clerics do called healing. Can't heal when you're dead.
