I might make a new char on venus, but I am wondering.. What build shall I go..

Warlock Cleric or Warlock bard.

The warlock part = 100% sure.
But the sub class.. Please help me and explain WHY I should take a build.. Not just say "bard just because" or cleric "Just cuz" Please explain me why, the benefits and the bad things. thanks

rogue/warlock

positive - 1hit kill anything/debuffs
negative - Sucks at tanking

Seriously. That is overkill.. A Rogue already 1 hits, doesn't need debuffs. So its a waste. Please state the cleric or bard. Either 1 of those 2. None else. ( It is going to be pure int. thanks )

cleric because you can tank better using recovery division/bless spell. and if someone is pissing you off in pvp, you can sleep + offering. and the absolute dmg of cleric is higher than bard (if need it be used)

CLERIC PROS
Res your friends
Heal yourself and others in pvp
Buff friends in PVP (str, int, def, bless, holy)
Absolute damage skills are stronger
Recovery Division helps you solo grind (if you somehow need to)
Parties usually look for clerics - you can easily find a party if a warlock is not needed
You will have offering to KO any annoying nub bots in pvp/wars

CLERIC CONS
Slow (no speed buff)
More SP needed than Bard
Most buffs dont stay on you when weapon is switched

BARD PROS
Speed (Swing march)
Noise - helps you solo grind if you need to (monsters dont agro you or your pets)
Noise - helps you get from point A to point B without your horse/pet dying
Parties usually have 2 bards - 2x the chance to get into a party if a warlock is not needed
Speed/noise stays with weapon switch

BARD CONS
Can't res people
Weaker (but slightly faster) absolute damage
Less solo-support for yourself




People, feel free to copy/paste the above and add your own.

go bard

Go bard.






Because is FASTER.

i have a warlock/ cleric in server and hes very deadly. i can imagine lock/cleric being very fun to play as well, both have shield so you dont have much trouble switching weapons; so go cleric for pvp/job offensive build. bard for more party play/grinding. only thing improtant that you will lose for not being bard is speed.

warlock/bard
i have a friend that's this build.
it's crazy helpful when we're pvping and she's afk
she just bust out a dance to do either 36% phy or mag absorb [not too sure]
and we just pwn the other guys.

but.. i really do suggest bard
because you're gonna be pure int = low hp
NOISE + Swing March is gonna help you out so much when you're leveling

venus is all party grinding.
Cleric is the main part of a party, almost always in need.
Bard is ok, but there are a LOT of bards.
Warlocks and clerics are rare, go for both at the same time and you got a good chance at a pt.
