Bard/cleric

[srf_frs]

This is the build i'm going to start with, which attack skills should I take, from Bard or from Cleric?

[Pan_Raider(`_´)]

if you go with cleric main: all attacks
--> trail/justice cross glut/over healing and offerings for pvp.

if bard:
--> horror/booming/wierd chord, booming wave

the absolute damage attacks arent worht it if you have mana switch or mana orbit/cycle

[srf_frs]

I actually want to know, which is better combat wise.

[Pan_Raider(`_´)]

well i assumed that as well, but your question was about which ones to take, not which ones were best.


bards are good for killing monsters with low hp: fast hits not allowing them to touch you.
against mobs stronger than champion: healing cycle/orbit or bless and attack.

highest dmg per second

cleric attacks take slightly longer, but the trail/justice cross are also a little bit stronger than the bard attacks (except for booming chord/wave)

you can make up for that using offering, but that wont work out too well unless monsters dont get to attack yuo after that... otherwise you will have to hope for a block or VERY quick heal.




summary:
bards deal more/quicker damage but are more prone to dying
clerics can tank the shit out of stuff and deal less damage due to longer attack loading times

[srf_frs]

Thanks for clearing that up;)

take the bard attacks..when ur pvping u should be holding a harp and have a tambour running..instead of switching ot cleric to attack. The bard attacks are much much faster and might actually kill ;P. Unless your pvping a fully buffed int or something..then you should just use overheals.

Waah! I made this Bard/cleric guide for nothing then?
