    Cleric- always needed in squads. You like helping people, and don't mind going out of your way to do so
    Physic-you like to debuff your opponent to gain advantages and hit higher damage. Less surviability than a wizard
    Wizard- you like hitting the hardest in the game cause your just that cool

    psychic now are op more than veno, if are mag made and have always the correct skills and gears, they 2-3 shot a lot of mobs.
    ppl always need a cleric, but u must just heal them. this means that u cant stop and cant die or dc'd or tank die and then all squad.

    have u never thinked to play with a veno? :)
    they're magical, can solo a lot of things, dont pay repair, when they want and can, can just send pet and so dont pay either repair of weap :P

    or try a wiz, they're good as dd too :P
    and if u make a wiz with LA and mag/crit gears... *_*

    wizard if you dont mind dieing alot but you hit the hardest.
    psychic if you like... ...cool orbs. And you get to talk to the cool looking trainer.
    cleric if you want a defensive tougher caster. It's the most resistent magic class although it doesn't have many strong nukes.

    Simply Put..

    Clerics
    - Heal/Support other Players.
    - Are always needed in squads.
    - Has a few attack skills.
    - Many support skills.
    - CAN PvE alone.

    Psychics
    - Damage Dealer(DD)
    - Could be needed in squads but can easily be replaced by another class. Unlike a cleric.
    - More attack skills than clerics.
    - Very few support skills.
    - Ofcourse can PvE.. I just mentioned it on the Cleric part because some people might think that Clerics only support and would need support all the time.

    Its part of the background of the story basically. It can get long to explain so I'll skip that, but no, its not strange for boys to play girl characters or the other way around. Especially when it comes to venos since they ONLY come in female. There are many men that play venos. And myself, I'm a girl, and I have one character for each class and each gender. So it doesn't matter. People will usually assume a veno is a female and say 'her' or else they will refer simply to the character and not the person playing behind it. There's no issues. As well as you could always, when someone is around or in a group making contact with you, mention that you would be male.

    Reading such thinks made me **** off.
    I, as wizard, never died (except when i was laggy or got disconnected from server). But never died due to "being a wizard". I can even say more: monsters barely can't hit me. If your wizard dies, it's due to two options: you don't know how to play a wizard (play better as a Venomancer) or your party/squad has been wiped out into a FB.

    Clerics don't have strong nukes??? b:angry

    Man, you should inform a bit more about PWI Classes skills.

    For your information, a level 59 Cleric (the necessary to get Tempest) with a base magic damage of 1000, is able to inflict a mass raw damage of 9343 metal damage, also with a 86% chance to slow enemies for 6 seconds. Isn't that enough nuke?

    Ah, and i forgot:Tempest is AoE.

    DO NOT CHOOSE CLERIC IF YOU'RE A STUPID SELFISH RE-TARD like the ones in public quest that says they have no mp for rez even though they're spamming all their skills non-stop...

    anyways um...

    Clerics = heal in parties, BB with focus powder and don't need mp pots ._., buff random people and you get a lot of "ty"s ^^ makes you feel special even though you know they don't mean it.

    Psychics = Highest DPS in game? o.o idk... maybe, Empowered vigor = 1/5 of a cleric lol, able to solo Aoe grind? maybe? o.o (I tried once at level 71 on seaweed mobs but turned out meh..... [run, aoe + earthquake, run more >.< and psychic will for the kill lol])
    [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] yay :) ^.^

    best dps hell no wizard and archer are pure dps we are a mix of wizard and ep
    strong dps yes


    empowered vigor = 1/5 ep? im not sure to understand what u mean

    empowered vigor increase healing skill , healing pot, reduce cooldown on guardian charm

    life bubble = weak aoe ironhearth (ep skill), for now it not really worth it with only 5 meters range but in china they got it increased to 15 meters

    mayhaps they just didn't want to waste mp & time they could be using to get points instead of ressing you.
    and mayhaps they wanted less competition? since teh competition (you) got itself killed?

    as hard as that was to read.. i got the part about archer and wiz best dps... DD = Damage Dealer ... DPS = Damage Per Second Archer and wiz are highest damage and thus are best DDs but i believe a Claw/Fist Blademaster and an Assassin beat both on Damage Dealt Per Second (DPS) as they hit for almost 2/3rds the damage and twice as fast b:victory

If your wizard dies, it's due to two options: you don't know how to play a wizard (play better as a Venomancer) or your party/squad has been wiped out into a FB.
    I have to say that you're either an exceptional wizard or an exceptional liar. The reason many people say that wizards are brittle is because they ARE. Wizards equip arcane armor and use little or no vitality whatsoever which gives them low defense and low HP. If you're hit, you're going to feel it. Hard.

    Even a pure mag wizard with the best weapons can't 1-shot monsters their strength until much higher levels, and until you get skills like Will of the Phoenix, Force of Will or Distance Shrink you can't get enough space between you and your target without running away from it, which sometimes causes them to get bored and return to their home points. And lest we forget channeling and casting times in the equation, so you're still likely to get hit a bit.

    I'm willing to bet that your either wizard was HP charmed or you spent an awful lot on medicines. The only alternative is to spend the majority of your time distancing yourself from enemies and resting, with only a small portion of it actually killing anything.

    Anyway, not to derail this thread, back to the OP.

    Personally it depends on personal taste. Psychics are an interesting DD/Support hybrid class while clerics are primarily support. As the games ONLY healer class, Clerics find themselves sought after for squads and TW and, I daresay, theres a strong satisfaction that comes from helping out the needy.

    I don't mind saying im somewhat biased as I also play as a Cleric on Harshlands server. With their decent magical and physical skills they're well rounded for different enemy types, both PvP and PvE, and their heals and buffs let them stay alive longer. For me they're the perfect class, but definetly NOT recommended if you dislike being primarily a support character in squads.
