I can't decide at all.....Some of my guild mates told me i wont have enough MP to be cleric sub. So i guess i wanna ask, which sub is better Bard for speed or Cleric for healing.

If a warrior can sub cleric, a rogue sure as hell can, rogues take less mp per skill then warriors anyway, problem is that rogue weps dont really work well with cleric weps, swapping from xbow has a 50% hp punishment for example, and a warrior can easily swap from 1h-cleric rod, i'm always in favour of bard, but that is just my opinion.
You should add a poll to this btw. :)

Yes yes bard does seem the way to go. But still thinking, added poll like you said.

depends on you,

if you care mainly about the sp cost, lvling speed..go with bard

if you want to be a stronger pvper...go with cleric

i chose cleric btw mainly because i love pvping and bless spell + recovery division and healing cycle is awesome.

another thing you have to consider is that in 8 man parties (if you pt a lot), a rogue/cleric is useless..maybe luring but no. in 8 man pties, a rogue/bard tends to be better as a bard.

you could try both builds ..lvl them up to lvl 30ish and decide :P

Cleric ... I cannot imagine anything without Healing Cycle, Recovery Division and Holy Spell.

I see, How much better is cleric at pvp? Is it like a huge difference from having bard in pvp?

Yes. Insanely huge.

If something that will kill me comes along, I switch to shield and cleric rod. Buff myself with phy/mag buffs, and use healing cycle/orbit. I can easily easily tank a sun glaiver....I almost never use bless because I almost never need it.

Rogue Cleric is way way way better for PvP.
Rogue Bard is good for PvE, Noise/speed help, though if your good you should be able to kill them before they reach you anyway, as well as not have to move much due to range.

Yeah don't go rogue/bard it sucks a higher lvls. Sure you can kill one guy with daggers prick but then your screwed if another char starts attacking you. I have a lvl 50 rogue/bard FF for 50 dagger and xbow skills but it's not all that great tbh.

I pvp a rogue/cleric and a rogue/bard. I struggled against the the rogue/cleric because of bless and recovery division, but the rogue/bard was easier to defeat. I vote cleric as best choice for rogue.

Bard is quite useless in PvP . They can only do Speed + Noise ( useless lol ) . However, they are very very very useful in PvE . Use CrossbowExtreme + Noise , you one-hit kill any General at your level with good weapon => Faster lvl up

Cleric is good in PvP . You can heal yourself and use Bless / Recovery Division
