Which subclass for cleric? bard or warlock?

Full support = bard

To play a bit yourself... Warlock?

i disagree with bard = full support
i think warlock/cerlic is maybe the best support combination you can get.
bards have many support skills but only very few will stay after switching weapons. as cleric/warlock you can debuff your enemies so that all party members do more dmg against them or the mobs do less dmg and then you can switch back to cleric rod and heal your party. only str and int buffs wont stay if you switch between cleric/warlock rod. the other buffs (physical and magical defense) , Bless Spell, Holyword and Heal over Time spells will stay, so you can switch weapons, debuff and heal without any problems.

Bard for full support, cleric that can give moving march is extremely loved by parties.

Warlock for PvP and solo. Wizard would work too, but as a warlock you can use both stun and sleep, and both will let you use offering with enough time to cast it. Wizard can only let you use offering with fear, and it casts slower than stun and sleep.

i wouldnt take bard because of ONE skill.... especially because there are so many other x/bard players out there that can buff moving march for the whole party. think about it... as cleric/warlock you can debuff and increase the dmg of your whole party for 30 seconds.. you can even dot your enemies and switch back to cleric and heal while your dots still do dmg. if there are too many strong mobs you can sleep one and switch back and heal and so on.. dont get me wrong bards are great supporters but i think they are not that good as subclass.. if you want to be bard/cleric i'd rather pick bard as my mainclass and use all clericbuffs that stay after switching weapons and then switch to harp. but if you want to play as cleric most of the time , i think debuffs of a warlock are more useful
but thats just my opinion ^^

why do you have to debuff the enemies and heal/buff your team? that makes you play 2 roles in a party. just use cleric in parties and bard for solo. bard has a 300% spell so its not just support. plus if theres another bar din the party, you switch to harp and use dances

Wizard would be the best if you want to stay a live and do a lot of dmg since life force helps and clerics can bring ur defence up so u survive and lvl 40 u get an autopot skill.
