Hi,

I'm a big fan of flashy graphics and over the top spell animations and such. When I do something, I'd like it to look pretty and fancy like a meteor shower or something. The main question for this utterly pointless and superficial question is what class has the flashiest skills in the game? I think it would be a tie between Mage or Warlock but maybe not, your response will help determine this.

Also are clerics useful in this game? The reason I ask is that some games like WoW have priests that are detrimental to success, and other games (forgot the name but it was a chinese mmo) had the priest sort of like a tank class! Before I think about making a healer I'd like to know if its even necessary in this game.

In a Euro party, Clerics are more or less essential. Granted, you don't have to have a Cleric, but their buffs and healing make things a hell of a lot easier; Wizards can focus on killing, Warlocks can focus on debuffing, and the entire party can have just a big old grand time instead of constantly worrying about getting killed.
Their buffs, such as the ones that add STR and INT are also certainly helpful, not to mention that Clerics have the single most hard-hitting nuke in the game - Offering and Pure Offering.
So yes, for Euro's, because of their pot delay, I'd say that they are neccessary. Chinese, however, do not need Clerics as much. Still, a Chinese character + Cleric buffs = a killfest.

As far as my personal opinion about the most flashy skill goes, my vote would have to go with Bladers. If you haven't seen them PvP, their Heaven Chain and Ascension Chain is pure love. Sure, Wizards have meteors falling out of the sky, and Warlocks have their cool red skills, but nothing beats the old-school, badass Pure STR Blader.
