Is offering really worth it?

Well, i'm a int warlock/cleric level 40 and i think some of you know that this build needs quite much sp.I already learned Recovery division, Bless spell and Holly word - the needed skills from cleric at the moment. And i was thinking, should i relly spend my sp for offering... Is it relly worth it... I'm asking this because i dont have a masive amount of sp like some of you and i'm not a guy that likes or has the time for farming ^_^. So the question is, is offering really worth those skill points?

For me as a cleric/bard, yes.

For you, warlock does decent damage, so maybe not. It might be nice to have in an emergency, as it does do nice damage, but you gotta have the HP maxed and RD on, not to mention healing cycle.

I use it on pt giants/champs or when I'm grinding solo, I'll occasionally aggro 3 or 4 mobs, throw Bless, Healing Cycle, then Offering to clean 'em all out. Probably not worth it but it's fun.

Depends how you like to play, it isnt "needed".

I have the same build as you and I have to say I don't use offering often, mostly for fun pvp and annoying high levels. don't get it if you don't need it. There're enough warlock skills to worry about. Unless you're urber at micro controlling weapon switching and key smashing, offering doesn't really help much. Not to mention the risk of losing 95% of your hp in an instant, which allow anyone standing near by one poke you to death. However, it is fun in pvp when you sleep your opponen, debuff and offer them to death :D, its a good laugh when they start cussing at you about how offering is a cheating skill blah blah blah.

I would suggest skip it for now, and farm it at the cap.

u dont like farming but u have one of the builds which requires alot of farming...

anyway to your question: yes it is useful in pvp, yes it takes micro to handle it and yes with debuffs you can do the strongest (magical) one-hit attack ingame

for party or sologrinding its pretty much the same but not that usefull as in pvp
