I need to make the ultimate decision for my Warrior. Cleric or Warlock? I've been the typical Paladin build (Warrior/Cleric) throughout my entire SRO career, so I know how it works. Keep in mind that Holy Spell is at 50% in ESRO.

Benefits for each subclass:

Cleric-
•Survivability through heals.
•Ressing other teammates (especially important in FW, GW, etc)
•Str clericing in parties.
•Bless.
•Absolutes owning fully buffed wizards.
•Holy Spell at 50%

Warlock-
•Debuffs for easy kills.
•PvP against Chinese much simplified.
•Can debuff through Euros since Holy Spell is 50%
•Cape PvP ownage.

In my opinion, cleric seems better suited for group pvp, and warlock better for 1v1.

I'd go with cleric, simply because I feel like group pvp is a helluvah a lot more important than 1v1. And with cleric, you'll still own just about every build out there with warriors OP-ness.

But eh, if you want to try something new, then go for it.

im a warrior/warlock so im biased but i will say this.. if ur gonna be in a party 24/7 then go cleric. if ur gonna do other things in the game and want to have fun, go warlock. look up my guide for warlock in the guide section for pvp tips

Ehh..

well since holy spell is only 50% in esro u cud happily be warlock sub. You seem to forget that even low level debuffs have a good chance of landing so you could str lock in a pt to stun/sleep fully buffed warriors or debuff the tricky fully buffed s/s nuker in ctf so ur party can easily kill him.

I've only played lock sub warrior to 40 but its still fun imo.

Not to say that cleric isnt fun but its so overhyped that you will have to be very lucky to NOT find a cleric in any type of group pvp.

Even with 50% HS, as long as they have LA, Charity passive, and Integrity maxed, they'll make your warlock sub pretty useless; however, most players don't utilize those skills to their potential so for the most part you'll be fine in that aspect, but if they know what they're doing your warlock isn't much useful.

Good point; however, all they need is 1 competent cleric, and it's still nonetheless useless. HS + Integrity spam = no debuffs. And again I'll repeat, most people don't utilize cleric to its full potential so it's not 100% given that this will be the case.

Warrior/Warlock is more suited to dominate 1on1 pvp. Even then against anyone w/o force or cleric (ofc implying that they know how/when to use it).

can't use integrity in stun/sleep...

Sleep won't go through, but stun will.

Warrior/Warlock ofc. Holy Spell is 50% there and Cleric as a sub is just too mainstream everywhere.

I'm warlock cleric in esro and I can say holy spell will not protect you from sleep trap, bb. epic fun!
