solo build that doesn't gimp group play?

lol forgive my rudeness but your Statement doesen't make much sense,a Cleric can be solo-able and be a great support when in squad...if you're talking about skills priority I won't bother too much(Just keep one heal levelled and P.Def buff,plus off course Plume Shoot and Great Cyclone),since you will in the end have all buffs and attack skills maxed in a relatively short time anyway.

Pure Mag build as well some with + Vit are effective enough against both Physical and Magic mobs(Except those Physical from BHs which hurt quite a lot),its really all about Heal-spamming enough and have a decent Hp so you don't get 2-shotted...

I think you're being a little hard on this guy as he's obviously going through his first real cleric build.
and seing as you're a high lvl veno I hope he takes what you say with a grain of salt.
a real hybrid cleric will have a critical strike rate above 4%. A real hybrid cleric build will be able to evade 20%+ of the attacks that come at it from mobs at or below it's level.
Coming from a REAL hybrid cleric who is actually successfully solo's I put in 8 magic points and one each into dex and vit per two levels. Now your gonna ask me "well what about strength?" Every ten lvl's I look at how much strength I need to equip my chestpiece and then put in ONLY and I will repeat ONLY that much strength. Pure magic builds can say that's fail all they want until they face me in duel or pvp on Harshlands,then We'll see how much a fail build that is until they see me in action in harshlands when they see me hold aggro in bh59 even when there are MULTIPLE SINS in the squad. YES I HAVE tanked bh59 even though "I'm a cleric and I'm only supposed to heal" I held aggro even when there were THREE sins and a 77 bm in the squad and I had the equally kick Axx cleric DUAL_THREAT to back me up. I dps HIGHER then pure magic builds because I have a higher critical strike rate and with rainbowblessing at lvl 9 I can get my critstrike as high as 15% for 9 seconds. So this is a build that REAL HYBRID BUILD solo cleric uses that ACTUALLY solo's.b:byeb:bye

Hmm... But pure magic cleric has easy time to tank fb59 bosses so, what... critstrike..umm, nope, you are wrong. Dexterity critsrike bonus can't make up the damage you get from magic and thats the only damage "advantage" you get from being hybrid. Simple as that. Nothing against hybrid, advantages in pvp are obvious, but hey, don't brag too much about tanking fb59 man b:thanks

Nothing in my original post has the word "bragging" in it, so you quoting me about bragging means misinformation and misrepresentation on your part. So now that I've established that you're a LIAR I'm going to prove that my dexterity critstrike does indeed make up for the damage that I would have gotten from going pure magic. I HELD AGGRO OVER 3 SINS AND A BM DURING THAT BH59. Can pure magic build do that while tanking under the same circumstances? No it can't, because the crits from the sins and bm with a pure magic build cleric tanking wouldn't build the same consistent amount of threat and aggro on ANY bh59 boss. Sure, the sins and bm were critting but my crits were consistent and and LARGER than the crits they were able to pump out. That equals how I held aggro and they didn't steal it.b:bye Oh and by the way, you can't really answer his question about having a solo build that is effective and doesn't gimp group play because you're on the pure magic bandwagon as is evidenced by your untruthful and misrepresentative post.b:laughb:laughI didn't brag about being able to tank bh59 bosses. I posted the name of Cleric who was there heal me through them.

Dmg multiplier of magic = 150 stat points
Crit rate = 1% increase. 20 dexterity = 1% crit. So 40 dex = 2% increase in dmg, vs a damage multiplier of about x .27 (40/150). Clearly, adding to magic gives you much more damage then adding to Dex. The reason many wizzie and psychics add to dex to boost their crit rate is because in pk you may only get 2-3 hits kill an opponent before they make it a melee fight. They add to dex in hopes 1 of those 3 hits will be a huge crit that kills their opponent before they get to them.

Also, we're a a ranged class. Most things we attack will attack us from range, also, almost always with magic type attacks. Magic attacks don't miss. Brag about a 20% evasion rate all you want, for the most part its pointless. Plus, what level mobs are you attacking where 40 dex gives you 20% evasion?

Also, if you think your 4% crit rate (13 with rainbow blessing!) is the reason you held aggro you then you should assume each sin in that group had around 20% base. It sounds like the real reason you kept aggro is there were two clerics in the group; one was dding and the other had to heal him so he didn't die, so they avoided taking aggro since they weren't stacked because one cleric didn't know how to cleric and preferred to attack. Also, the bosses in fb59 are solable at level 59 for a cleric, nothing to brag about.

To the OP: LA build is a great solo build and a great pvp build, however your magic attacks and heals will be weaker. I went pure magic (base vit 5, will reset to 3 later) because I play in squads and don't pve. I rarely die, and when I do its usually my own fault and something that having even 75 vit would have saved me from. The only thing a good cleric has to worry about is aoe's and their mistakes. I recommend getting 40-50 vitality early, and then resetting it out later. Just pay attention to the benchmarks of hp you'll need (ie 2.4k minimum for wyvern, 3k minimum for FCC). Good luck.
