Rogue Support

Post by Tig3ress »

Hi!

I recently made a new rogue on Mercury. It's really fun to play with and i got it to lv 23 quickly. I have not subbed yet, wondering which to pick out of Bard and cleric. I wana get cleric and use it as a party support/healer when i get lazy :). Being full strength is this possible? ( Would u advise against it? )

Cheers in advence

IMO I think rogue/bard is better because rogue is a hit and run build so bard will help because it has speed

QFT, but if you really wanna go cleric. Yeah it's possible to be a healer as pure str. Your heals will just not heal as much as int builds.

You should also consider warrior or warlock as sub, bteween bard and cleric you should go cleric, for a capped player the price of a speed drug isnt too expensive considering the amount of gold you can make.

You can give warrior buffs to protect wizards/clerics, also rogue isnt very apreciated in a party, so with warrior as sub you can have an alternative if your party needs a tanker.

warrior buffs dissappear as soon as you switch weapon. Not really investing in unless you want to play as a warrior and a rogue. I'd suggest Cleric for a sub-class. Bard is really a Solo-PvE sub-class while Cleric is good for Party-Pve and Solo-PvP...

I will put this blunt; in a party you will be useless as a cleric, because you will have nowhere near enough MP to keep the party alive when grinding at higher level mobs.

im pretty sure he meant to stay as warrior in the party. since he also mentioned that rogue isn't really sought after for parties. warrior is a decent sub for rogue imo.

yep, rogue/bard is the way to go. Also, bard does have 1 useful skill for pvp. Use the bind skill, get some distance, activate x-bow extreme, and do what you need to do to make him lay on the ground first.

For someone who has been here for 2 years, I find it strange that you would ask this.

I guess it really depends on how overpowered you want to be. Rogue/bard is only a 5 on the overpowered scale. Rogue/cleric is an 8, whereas Rogue/warrior is a 9. Hope it helps.
You will spend 99% of your time grinding, you just don't know it yet.

In a party, a rogue/bard has more uses than a rogue/cleric. Just saying, mate. :)

LMAO
i loved how it seemed that, you tryed to say that so sweetly as if you got so angry when you read that, you just wanted to say "OMFG, WHATAN IGNORANT, JEEZ" But you tryed to chill
rofl xD
And yeah, imo like, people can have different opinions, sure.
But everybody that has experienced party grinding will know that you just cant grind without a bard in your party, it's really really important, take me for example, i thought just like some of u did, when somebody said rogue+bard i was like "Uh, kinda useless, just go cleric for bless and shytz" But now.. You see, there are a lot of rogues that most people dont want in parties.. so what do they do, they just use their bard sub class, heal mp, do tambour and shytz. And that's very good support so basicly, you can go afk sometimes and chill as a bard and once u get to high lvl, u still manage to be able to do some high dmg crits, it's pretty good if u ask me cause beeing a bard in a pt is really chill, unless you got a really good "party" (meaning u always have mobs coming, a lot of wizards fighting 24/7)

But yeah, definitly Rogue/Bard
