Dai(Cleric) vs. Ran(BM) (Need Advice)

He's charmed, you aren't.
That right there gives him a huuuuge advantage.

Work on stun locking. Too often you'd finally get to him and use garrote, which sucks in pk normally, but especially so against clerics. Get to him, roar, wack wack wack, drake, wack wack wack, aoelin blade, wack wack wack

Wack is interchangeable with fap

Get less interval, deicides or GV's, max all stuns. Roar of the Pride does not take long to cast at all. HP food. Learn Smack. Get Occult Ice and/or Extreme Poison. Keep him stunned and keep auto punching.

I wanna 1 vs 1 this cleric myself uncharmed.

My friend got me decides the other day.
When he uses plume shell and i attack with my axes its really low damage.
I think for fists would b alot worse, or this is when i stun lock him until his shell is gone?
Plume Shell is a massive reduction on physical damage at the cost of MP. Sure, your damage will be low with fists, but you'll be burning through his MP much faster that way... and if he runs out of MP, not only will plume shell drop, he'll also be unable to attack momentarily. You should be aiming to keep a stunlock up anyways regardless of whether or not plume shell is up.

Yea i need a TW genie...
My friends suggest

Bramble Rage, Tangling Mire, Absolute Domain, and extreme poison.
I had some recommendations like what skills to use with which genie skills.
Like i think my friends said don't bramble rage with HF cuz bramble rage is a magic move
while HF lowers physical defense.
That's just plain bad overall. Domain, Occult Ice, Mire, Frenzy/Extreme Poison, Balance, and True Emptiness are all far more useful overall. On top of that, the HF thing isn't true. Heaven's Flame doubles all damage the target receives, both physical and magical, so using HF followed up by Bramble Rage or True Emptiness is a rather common and effective strategy.

Responses in red. Was too lazy to respond properly and make it look coherent.

if enemy is melee smack first, if its a kiter, smack to complete 15 seconds stun lock.

You miss 100% of the shots you never take. Stun lock more, even if it might miss.
Also, a better genie could probably help. Alpha Male and Earthflame aren't all that useful 1 v 1, lol.

Clearly, Earthflame is for pulling clerics out of cata squads in TW without aggro'ing the rest of the squad. Alpha Male is to maintain aggro on the cleric while your squad members kill it. b:victory

I am wondering the gear difference here because you are not hitting the Cleric for much, but you also cannot seem to get close enough as well...

Also, as Sage, when he uses Silent Seal, he takes a pretty large damage reduction to his atttacks (he should be purifying it first and a few times you might have gone down faster had he purified himself).

You need a new Genie for sure though!!! b:surrender

Learn to properly stun lock...A GOOD stun lock can take down a Cleric pretty well and fast if they are not in tune with things.

Smack.

Occult Ice.

Change the orders of your Marrows when you use them for chi when fighting a Mag class, you got caught with P. Marrow up a few times

M.def charms would help as well as apoth, as mentioned before, but the m.def charms would help you greatly.

Plume shell becomes your chance to get some chi. Learn to time it since there is about 10 seconds in-between being able to recast it once the time is up. Sage version though will absorb 85% of incoming p.damage. Like mentioned before, you CAN use up a Cleric's MP much faster then they can pot through it (unless charmed but sometimes even then that makes no difference) if you time your attacks correctly. Cleric's can Plume shell, G. Light and use Wings of Protection if needed (the 79 skills often used as a last resort if needed) and they can be a great in-between if Plume Shell is on cool down.

Also, you running gives Cleric's a MUCH larger advantage then staying closer since all of the attacks are ranged and cool down times are given a chance. This is where stun locking, timing anti-stun skills and a new Genie comes in.

Know what to expect from the Cleric. Many Cleric's have a pattern that can be read (this can be said the same of those BM's that can Stun Lock the **** out of someone). Know their skills and use the pattern(s) to your advantage. Cleric's WILL use their Silent Seal, Sleep and Elemental Seal when they get a chance too :P

I dunno, that is what I thought of at this moment, but pretty in tune with what others have been saying/said here...
