ok so me an my friends just started playing this game, and one of us is a wizard another a blademaster and another a barbarian...i suggested that i become the cleric because if we are gonna run an instance as a party we woudl get slaughtered without a cleric......but then they suggessted a Sin which ive played before and i have a fairly decent build 1 str 1 vit 3 dex per lvl (is that any good??) anyway...i cant decide and they are just as unsure.....i also heard that Sins were not the most welcomed into instance parties because they have no real purpose....plz tell me that person was wrong........anyway im unsure......and the only thing holding me back from cleric is teh imense amount of time it takes to lvl ealry on....while the reason for not jumping back into Sin is our lack of a healer and our want to noty have to hire one...so if somoen coudl plz help that woudl be awesome!!! b:pleased

    Uhmm excuse me? without sins it would take forever to do the instances ;D sins serve alot of purpose we are DD's Damage Dealer's And u dont have to hire any cleric u can just ask clerics to help lol. Clerics are nice ;D and also i suggest a cleric because u guys are pretty much set except for healer. Without a cleric instances are boring and take forever. Plus theres sins everywere u can just pick up a random sin and he/she will come happily. Cleric is you best bet u have a tanker BM fair DD and also a Wizard ur missing a cleric budd. But if u wanna **** ur freinds in PVP be a pure dex sin ;D u will **** with ease. IMO hope that helped ;Db:pleased

    Clerics arnt expensive that much but sins are. Also ye i didnt know you were in raging tides ye just send me a PM if im on or something ill help you out. Considering i can 1hit all your freinds idk if i would like to PK but i would love to help you. But is till think you you should choose cleric just for the benifets.

    Cleric:
    Needed about 90% of the time.
    Major Heals and Buffs.
    Can DD, Debuff mobs/bosses and purify squad members.
    Squishy if you are pure mag build.
    Their skills ARE expensive, along with constantly having to buy pots to keep up with your mana pool; you will be spending a good amount of money on a cleric.
    In some cases, you can get paid to go to a BH/TT/FF, that might help.

    Sin:
    Millions running around.
    Moderately good DDer.
    Bloodpaint for Barbs/BMs so they can heal up to an extent.
    Most of the time I get in a random BH squad, over half of the squad is a sin.

    Ok im fairly confident i will choose cleric as my main but i do intend to lvl a sin aa well since i am most expierenced with them and now i just need decent builds
    For both i dont like being overally squishy....my sin build might be one vit one str and three dex or one str four dex which i think is pure dex...i cant decide and as for cledic i have no idea any suggestions in that department?

    If you don't mind doing almost every thing solo, roll a sin. They're fun, but getting into squads for any dailies is pretty much next to impossible.

    Since your friend rolled a barb (which is a pretty rare class in game these days) I suggest making a cleric your main focus (also another rare class in game). That way, you will never be unwanted for instances.

    Some people live to destroy me

    Either way they die

    I'd Suggest a Cleric tbh :D

    And erm, @ Fireversal, we managed just fine in instances BEFORE Sins appeared on the Scene. If anything, Pre-100 they make the Instance WAY longer. Why? Because most of the time they die due to grabbing aggro, then have an argument with the Tank and Cleric, before finally getting a rez. In personal experience, unless the Sin is Respectful in the Slightest, they make the Instance take Longer. There are other DD's in this game, Sins are not the only one.

    Which reminds me, lol...People forget about Wizards too much..

    I saw a WC which said, "WTS Zuriels Blade, BM Flyer..."

    And also, "LFM BH Metal, Looking For Damage Dealer OR Wizard."

    lol...b:thanks

    Sins are great DD's but are useless if they dont have the correct attacks per second.. like myself i got 4 aps im able to solo pretty much every boss and instance except Nirvana.

    But Sins are weak

    if ur goign to do 1 1 3 ur making a hybrid or tanking hp build .. which is the path most sins take at lvl 95+ if u want a really OP sin do 1 str 1 vit 8dex every second lvl.

    keep in mind lvl 90 the min str u need for TT90 gear is 109 and up if u plan on pursuing 99 gear and up.

    - good luck

    I would go for sin. Even though they are expensive, and a bit squishy at the start, they help in the group. The sin is pretty good, and the skills are worth the cost. Also, finding gold won't be a problem, it's the spirit that kills you.
