I just got my 2nd Euro Char, the main build is cleric, what other build would be a good complement to cleric?
I am more towards Bard(Moving March) and Wizard(mag atk), but would like to hear more suggestion.

If you go Bard only for the Moving March, it's not bad. Just a reminder, a lot of Bard skills wear off when you switch weapon. Also most of the good skills require another Bard to be in the party/range.

I took bard mastery, but actually I'd suggest you kep on only with Cleric, and take a sub only if you need it VERY much.

STR/INT buffs will dispel when you change weapons.
PHY DEF buff will dispel on you (though not on others) if you change weapons.
Not sure about the mag def one, I don't have it yet.
And if you use Light Armor, the passives won't work when you change weapons either.


My bard mastery is used solely for moving march, because I don't want to farm for Noise, etc., however I can fill in a bard's position in party if it's needed.

I would say bard for Moving March, Noise, and Mana Cycle. Maybe the Booming attack if you want to solo better (360%+ damage aoe nuke). Moving March to move faster (also helps the party), Noise to survive better vs non-giant/champion mobs, and Mana Cycle, which is useful if you ever need to replenish mana.

But its only really worth it if you don't party alot, because Recovery Division + your passives/Body Blessing gives you LOTS more phy.def and mag.def, so Noise might not be as useful. And Mana Cycle is not needed if you time your skills well-enough.

Being in a party usually = staying at one high-spawnrate spot, so there is no need to move about = Moving March becomes useless.

Unfortunately all these skills (other than moving march) need your Bard Mastery to be high.

Noise won't work if you don't level up enought
Booming Chord will be weak if you don't get the mag attack passive


Moving march still can be useful at least on lv1, like the chinese Grass Walk, but it is also very welcome on higher levels.

If you level up Bard Mastey to level 20 you can be a so-so bard on parties, allowing another bard to use the dancing skill line which helps a big lot.

i was cleric/bard last week, soloing wasnt too bad, but im coming at the end of the powerlvling road and must be able to kill the higher lvl mobs at a quicker rate. booming chord was useless against ranged mobs like snipers, so i used horror and wierd chord to kill mobs but even then i can die pretty easily. noise buff wasnt that effective, wierd chord and booming chord attracted other mobs which this low dmg pure int cant handle. for pvp cleric/bard is useless since it is a buffer build it is has no killing moves besides offering.

now that i am cleric/wizard i kill mobs quicker b4 they even touch me and pvp is much more fun. turn bless spell switch to staff and i have 45 secs of invisibility as a wizard. but right now without drugs im a slow mofo, 80% moving march really helped me get around.

I completely agree. The only reason to take Bard secondary for Cleric is if you plan to solo a lot (Moving March and Noise ONLY). Otherwise someone else will have Moving March in your party and Noise does not work in party.
