Hello, I'm a lv 52 (or almost) Cleric/Bard with lv 50 Cleric Mastery, 40 Bard, and 10 Warrior (for shield trash).

I am usually having trouble finding good parties and I cannot solo since the only attack skill I have is Offering and auto attack. I thought of adding Bard attack skills so I could solo but my Bard Mastery would be at most 10 levels lower than my character level due to the 10 Warrior Mastery for shield trash... (Ex. at level 50 I can only get lv 40 Bard at most.. etc.)

So.. I was wondering should I still add Bard attack skills even if the skills wouldn't be up-to-date because the mastery would be 10 Mastery level below my current level? Would the not up-to-date Bard attacks be too weak to solo? I don't want to solo as a cleric because Trial Cross would be my only attack skill to grind.

Or.. Should I de-level Shield Trash and go full 50 Bard and 50 Cleric? Shield trash is really useful in parties tho since my healings aggro mobs all the time >.<

Any advice would be appreciated,

Thanks in advance =]

hehe thats the same problem i had except i was a warlock/cleric with shield trash. but seriously cleric do have attacks...like trial cross and the stronger version at lvl 60. but whether or not u want to take off shield trash if up to u. i didn't xD it is very useful.

I don't want to solo with cleric because Trial Cross will be the only attack for me if I solo as a cleric.. >.< (trial cross + auto attack + auto attack)... So boring T_T I hate that white flying auto attack ball which I cannot stop it when I want to

So either yes bard attack or no bard attack. :S

Drop the shield trash; I have no trouble soloing with my bard/cleric (been fightning Solars for the past 2 levels). I'm amazed you can't find a party though; I never have trouble finding a party with my bard/cleric. Heck, I even have Chinese parties 10 levels above me asking me to come with them, buff them, and just lay back for the rest (aside from an occasional bless perhaps).

wish this could help you out.
Hey, Click Meh

yeah You will not need shield trash... Moreover if you want pure offering u mite want to get ur clergy to lvl 80:P n as far as bard goes.... I guess u mite want to think:P

I'm a hybrid cleric/warrior, going to throw in some Bard skills soon, similar to yours. I have no problems soloing, but I just can't solo 9 levels above me consistently.

I have 15 str in so more hp already, it helps. However that lowers my magical damage a bit and makes taking out parties/cp's/pt giant's a lot slower. Shield Trash is great once you get it up high enough to Dull well. Doesn't affect every monster the same way, but slows 'em down a lot.

I pve like this: Hit em with Justice Cross, then Shield trash once they get close, then JC again. Usually does it. If not, or if it's a champ/giant party, JC/ST, then Recovery/pt heal to get my HP up, then Offering, rinse, repeat. I have to time the offering carefully of course. Once in a blue moon I use Bless to make sure I can throw down Offering.

I would not add Bard skills, but that's just me n' my Shield Trash talking The debuffs could be useful but since they're DOT, who knows...
