Cleric Pk/tw Videos???

Not gunna be much help to you, because I'll say clerics 1v1 in pvp kinda suck. The only 1v1 they're good at really imo is duels where charms don't tick, and people don't use pots. Most times when its a cleric wiping floor in open pk its because they overgear everyone else (ofc there are exceptions).

Otherwise as you said 2v2 and higher is where clerics excel, and not in the cleric becoming a god. But in the fact that they assist there team mate which, is not anything cool that people want to watch. Which is why you don't see many videos of clerics in tw.

Just an example though can't use name the main pk'ing cleric on my server for a long time severely overgeared pretty much everyone on server now has all the gear on a wizard and uses that for tw.

You don't sound like someone that would enjoy pvp'ing as cleric, so dont do it.

Yeah Clerics and PK, lets just say it was a lot more fun as cleric before genies and tideborn came out.(sleeping barbs,bm's at 55% hp and them not being able to replenish hp/or reduce incoming damage was fun )

Don't roll a cleric, real endgame pvp as cleric even with amazing gears (talking from experience) just sucks if u fight equally geared folks.

Clerics are amazing in 1on1 pvp only between 30-89 , after that every class surpasses you.

For most part, even with the highest played class, it is rare to see a good PK cleric. The simple reason to that is for most part people make a cleric class with the "help" factor in mind, and totally ignore the detrimental abilities a cleric actually has.

So for most part, a larger number of cleric players build their character wielded with the highest standards to be good "healers"... As a focused healer, they tend to build with higher mattk for better, higher healing. which sacrifices a lot of defense, and survivability... In short, they become super squishy, and for most part a one shot wonder.

And then they focus on skills that center around healing, and with a healers mentality never grasp what the other skills have to offer. I was always amazed when I got a new high level recruit in my faction and would see they hardley touched any of the none healing/buff skills. Mainly because they had no desire in a PvP skill set.

So with that said, this is why you prob don't see many "good" pk clerics.

A good PK cleric will learn that high m-atk won't really make you a better healer, that simply comes with building a good healing strategy for whatever content you are in. But then again, you don't lose that much healing efficiency even as a VIT100 cleric.

A good PK build cleric will focus on building physical defense. An attempt to balance out survivability against both mag classes, and physical classes. A good PK cleric will trade in the -%channeling gear for the +(#) physical defense gear any day (namely protection gear) or do Like I do and carry two sets of gears to match my task at hand.

In TW, a PK build cleric are pains in the asses for the melee classes assigned to kill clerics. (archers maybe less to them) Their goal is to try and kill the cleric as fast as possible before taking on any hits themselves from a mag-class defending the cata cleric. With a good strategy along side a good physical defense build, the cleric can be virtually invincible in TW, and survive long enough for someone that has the ability to take out the attacker.

In 1v1 Clerics with high natural mag resist, can hold off all mag classes with simple IH turtleing until the attacker runs out of all their highest (spark) attacks, then resurface with sleeps/silences-debuffs-physical attacks, also knowledge of their self buffs helps tremendously.

1v1 with close range attackers sins/bms Clerics have the ability to plume shell, while the counter is still counting, and plume last long enough that the attackers stun locks will wear down long before your plume, and with maxed Plume, and highest pdef possible, they even when using their best attacks are only tickling you. When out of stun lock, you then could return the favor with your chromatic, then debuffing them, followed wield thunder to wake them, but to be sent back to bed with silent seal, gives another chance to land another damage dealer, I would usually finish them off while silent seal still there with my Sirens kiss (which also stuns), and if that didn't. cyclones fast channeling will do it. (sins with escape kind of disrupts strats like this, but they are OP anyway, un-balanced imo) But also keep in mind DISTANCE against these classes can change alot...But for most part, surviving their best detrimental abilities is key.

1v1 with archers are a bit tricky. But when you are on them at close range they do diddly to a good PK build. So when count down going, the first thing they want to do is run in the opposite direction. Cyclone will slow that efforts, and holy path can put you right on their heals. Sleeping them gives you a chance to stack debuffs on them, then mag attacks.
They still will want to distance themselves, and will most likely get some distance, that is when you plume, and open fire. If they are already a bit away from you when engaging 1v1, plume right at the end of the counter, holy path to them followed by a chromatic seal, and follow that path of attack.

Barbs 1v1 ??? easy.. Kiteing them with cyclone slowing them, and the lines of sleepers, such as chromatic seal, silent seal. sirens kiss, tempest, we have NO reason what so ever to ever be hit by them, and can stay at max range and eat away at their HPs... In PK is a bit different considering the Charms, but then again, we can be an annoyance to them, and cause them to quit to save charm.

In group PKing, or even rpk... Clerics can do far more when built for it then they get credit for. Survivability comes to mind when building a PK cleric, If you are able to survive ANYTHING that comes your way, and gives you enough time to practice the skills available, then there is NO reason a cleric can not be a top dog in the PK line.

As far as genies, they help others, but help us too... Holy path evil against ARCHERS... ToP? evil against any stun locking class.... Absolute poison? stacking two makes it that much worse when we attack. Seal? a back up for when they have genie skills to counter your sleepers. just to name a few...

The problem is, whenever someone see's a cleric, they automatically think "healer". This is especially true for higher level dungeouns, so its harder to get squaded since healers are such a rarity nowadays. At those times, when they finally get a cleric, it's bad when the cleric goes "I'm an attack".

ANNNNYHOOW.

Uhhmm, if you want to be PvP follow vristion's advice and also, remember to go demon! b:bye

Searching Youtube will also help tooo...

I wish I could find videos of Kin, no doubt the best cleric I ever met (on PW-MY server).
The only cleric who could own my +10 archer very easily. (He was, altho, a rank8+12 and all his gear was above +9 also).
Without the gear power only, there was Zohar also, amazing cleric, with normal armor, could own almost everyone just by skill knowledge.
Clerics are good PVPers, and I plan to be one of them as soon as I finish my armor, but they are required so often, that most clerics are too busy to go randomly pk people around the game.

It would be really cool it there was an official PK cleric guide. Personally I would like to know what genie skills are recommended for PK, and a good, comprehensive guide to defeating all the different classes, whether in PK or a duel.

It would be good to help someone like me who is interested later on in PK but is still a noob at it -.-

If someone could make this guide, many thanks in advance. b:laugh

just go out and experience it for yourself -.- you can use hours on reading "guides" and still succk hard if you dont know your own skills, cooldowns, survivability and apoth vs the opposing class' stuff and methods -.-

as for build; you will need spike damage or very fast consant damage to kill ppl (for ppl with halfdecent gear, charm and stuff and an idea on wtf they are doingg) . that means either high refined wep, full mag or squadmates.

Clerics can be good in PvP if you use tricks and know what your doing. They are super squishy but their are ways around it. Its challenging but can be possible. Also depends on the other PKer. If your dueling an expert BM, that's like asking to die. BMs can spam stuns like no other so its like they are hitting a dummy. Clerics are definitely not the best in PvP.


For TW I've heard they are good for their sleep skills. Archer about to Barrage? Sleep them. BM about to stun? Sleep them. Barbarian about to Armageddon? Sleep them. Than let someone else kill them while they sleep. I've done this in TW a few times, its a bit amusing.

Its all in the hands of timeing really.
