I say it depends on your style of play:

If you're more of a PvE person, and don't like to sp farm much, you can just go with Xbow / Bard...though note its strength isn't in solo pvp.

If you're more of a PvP person, Cleric seems to be the better choice. Recovery Division, Oblation, Group Res, Healing Cycle, Body / Soul Deities, and Scorn are helpful in group fights.

EDIT:

You can read up on Xemnas' Rogue Guide. He goes over subclasses and what they offer here: viewtopic.php?t=55184

I'm rogue cleric and I can't imagine bard.

Healing Cycle+Glory armor and all the defense is the only way I can stay alive in a one on one. Cleric can give you a TON if used properly, Bard can give you Bind. (I am referring to 1 on 1 pvp.)

I'm also a Rogue/Cleric. I've tried both sub masteries, and since I love to PVP, I prefer to have cleric. It benefits you a lot more in PVP than bard does. Bard makes leveling easy and helps if you like to hunt uniques a lot. But in PVP, you'll have to keep your distance.

Both are good subs though, it all just depends on your style.

Which was easy back when stealth worked. Nowadays, not so much >.<

Well, I always thought stealth and invisible were really cheap to use in cape pvp anyway. That's why I usually avoid telling people to use them.

Yea, I agree...for cape.

However, when it matters (Jobbing/Guild War/Fort War etc) I think it was fair because there was always a lot of people around to detect you. It was still over powered.... but in my very biased opinion I think it was better for the game than it is now...

Exactly, especially for jobbing.
I just think it's cheap when people go into the safe zone and go invisible/stealth just to kill someone.

Wizards tend to love that on my server. Safe zone->invis->nuke->safe zone. Repeat.
