Hello i was wondering on witch path i should take i'm a dueling cleric i love to duel but at the same time i dont mind supporting a squad. i was wondering on wich playing style is better for me i was going to go sage but it only increases the power on my physical moves while demon increases on my metal skill wichi think is better also. I like sage spark better because of the extra def. So is a sage cleric better in a duel than a Demon clerici cant decide...

    I wouldn't think to much about dueling when deciding this more so when it comes time to squad up.What do you do more in a squad is what you need to ask yourself?What I mean by that is are you more supportive or more offensive.
    Looking for a decent casual understanding Faction.

    A Demon Cleric is just as good as a sage cleric when it comes to supporting roles. Its not neccessarily the skills which enhance you; its the experience of playing cleric which will determine your success in PvP/PvE.

    I chose Sage because I find my role lies primarily in supporting, I would find the extra 10% Heal on Sage IH nifty should I be supporting tanks in TW. But, I dont lack in attack power.

    Bear in mind that Demon Wield Thunder is a rare skill, and you could find yourself needing between 20~30 mill to buy the book. That, and its a 99 skill. But hey. Its not like its that hard to hit 99 these days.

    You've got time to choose, and the option to change if you don't like your choice.

    Level 97 Cleric - ManeK (Harshlands)
    Level 91 Wizard - lnnocent (Harshlands)
    Level 86 Archer - AimLow (Harshlands)

    I went demon mostly because of the spirits gift buff demon skill (raises mag attack by 150% for 10 secs) and a few other skills that work well for pvp but for a support cleric sage is the way to go

    personally i chose sage, demons nice and all, but i like sage skills. more support, but im good at grinding and soloing, but sage skills will make it much easier for me to grind. rez makes u rez some1 from 40 meters away. purify's cooldown and channeling are decreased, ih gives more healing, u get a skill that lets u get 50 chi instantly. but demon is nice too, depends what your willing to spend on skills xD demons more common on heavens tear vs. sage. so demon books r more expensive

    I would have thought demon was better for you if you loved duelling+ didnt mind support. In a duel demon slightly better than sage and for support there's really very little difference imo.

    But dont be too concerned because you're able to change demon <--> sage. ^^

    If you go demon path, which I recommend for someone who fights other players a bunch, you might want to find a way to compensate for the support loss sage has. With my channeling, which is what I did to make up for the lost support, I can actually out- power a sage IH.

    <-- sage and happy with my choice
    i duel very rarely, but i can tell that:
    chi skill is really useful
    love sage vanguard when battling veno in foxform
    i can actually feel the difference between lvl 10 ih and sage ih
    metal mastery - another immediately visible effect, cyclone and plume are nice too and easy to get :)
    want wield thunder... yes, demons bonus is better but sage isnt bad, and lvl 11 is stronger than 10 anyway
