Wizard: Bard or Cleric sub?

[Vert3x]

Just wondering, but do wizards have problems later in the game with mp usage? Would a bard sub take care of that? If wizards don't usually have problems with mp, then wouldn't cleric be a better side?

Both have pros, and cons, it's discussed in several posts, one is above, see if it can help you.

Could you read my post before posting that? I've already been there. My main question is, do wizzies have problems with mp in later lvls?

[KylieMinogue]

i usually just glance and guess what the post is about and look for keywords.

But, my question is, WHY WOULD A FULL INT character have problems with MP later on?

The only reason i would see INT having MP problems is, if they run out of MP pots.

If you use fire bolt+frozen spear skills to grind with, then no, you wont have any problem with mp.

Well then thats a boring way to grind...

Bard
PRO's
-you don't need mp pots
-you don't need to buy speed pots
-you have noise so that protects you from other mobs *except champs,giants*
-doesn't take up as much sp at a cleric sub
-if you decide to get the rest of the buffs (dances) except for the few main ones, they are far superior than the cleric ones

Bard
CON's
-*compared to a cleric sub* you don't get LA
-you don't have healing
-claimed to be worse in pvp but i don't believe that
(and that is all i can think of atm)

Cleric
PRO's
-you have healing
-you have LA
-you have res i guess that is a pro
-it is claimed to be better at pvp than bard sub
-better at fighting bosses on your own

CLERIC
CON's
-the blessing buffs go away when you change weapons
-sucks up more sp than bard sub
-LA armor means you run slower
(and that is all i can think of atm)

If you just cant chose here is what i suggest.
Wiz-100/Cleric-60/Bard-40 or w-100/C-40/B-60

Hybrid
PRO's
-you have just enough healing power to heal your full int only hp
-you are what i am guessing an extreemly good pvper
-you have good speed
-you have LA
(and that is all i can think of again atm)

Hybrid
CON's
-not as much healing power as a full cleric
-not as much speed as a real bard
(and that is all i can think of atm)
