Okay, to start off, I am a new cleric. I've always played the combat classes because I thought being a cleric would be dumb and easy. But to tell you the truth it's not. What I am really looking for is an update to the cleric class, seeing as they haven't gotten one in .. a few years, correct me if I am wrong. I have thought up several ways to make them a more interesting class, not just one for people to make and use to farm/buff with.

• Give the clerics more passives
• Make their passives take LESS skill points to max
• More attack skills, or make the ones they have more powerful
• Raise the strength of summons, because they are just 100% useless at the moment
• Give them some special ability, other than buffs of course, because any class can buff.

The reason I am posting this topic is because of the simple fact, that without clerics, every class is pretty much useless. I know clerics aren't supposed to be an offensive class. But I've tried other games, and I love the way they have clerics built there. With the current armor system, also being a battle cleric seems useless, and impossible. I would also like to see changes to the epic wand, because it is pointless for anyone to get really, because it's stats are far worse than any of the level 200 wands. To sum it all up, I would just like to see clerics getting a few changes in the future. Seeing as they are one of the most important classes in the game, and are currently being ignored.

I'm kind of glad this was brought up again. There was an in depth discussion about clerics man months ago but it has been long forgotten.

Thank you for your support Phish

I completely agree with this. And yes, they are really hard to control and maintain.

At times they're much more active than all other classes due to healing/buffs/summon.

They have already said they are done with the IM updates. All they were focusing on was getting IM in game.

"Give them some special ability" is pretty much a lie, they have the most special abilities of any class. There have been many threads about making clerics stronger, so it is clear the community wants it. An even better option would be to implement 3rd classes and have whatever cleric classes up into gain offensive capabilities.

Clerics in neighboring games have possession of "Holy" magic, so that would be rather interesting.

I have been asking for the SP required for the battle mastery passives to be dropped for months. It's rediculous that every class (that i've played) has their main passive as 9 SP required and clerics need 18 when most clerics don't even fight.
I personally think that clerics should be a hybrid of buffs and atks and when they go third job have something like an angel and a fairy. Angel would be "FS" and have pure supportive skills and the Fairy (being the mischeivious magical creature. look it up) would have the attacks making an "atk cleric" class.
The epics need to be rethoughtout. +1

Well, i'm a defence cleric. I don't die much.. Atm i have +10 legendary set, +10 prec set, and most of a +10 chival set

If you're a defense cleric, why didn't you get Luminous or Chivalrous first? Lol

Once again, try reading. I have a +10 chival set. And mspd is a more important factor for defence clerics, because you can't kill what you can't catch. Stop quoting on things you know nothing about.

It is illegal to create 100 warpportal accounts in the same name so I AM VERY SORRY if I caan only add +1 to your reputation. Have a good day

It was a simple question, no need to get knotted up.

I only asked because you said you had "most" of the set, yet you appear to have the full sets of others.

You are one of a kind.

Nah, just shows how people are. Probably an eye-opener for other members.

Let's not forgot the purpose of cleric, cleric has probably the best buffs. (Some buff pots give better stats, but only last 10 mins) while a cleric's buff lasts 20 minutes. Cleric was meant to be support, you already have a few stuns you can use to help the person you're backing up. I agree on making summons better they get dropped pretty easily. But if you give a class too much power, it'll just be a repeated process that the devs are trying to fix. Muse had two options: Mage,Cleric. Basiclly it was meant to be Mage (Offensive Muse 2nd Job) Cleric (Supportive Muse 2nd Job). In other games "cleric" would be the name for magic/wizards overall.

@Epic wand: Lol it's totally useless i agree should give higher int than Legendary Amazing brush. Nothing "Epic" about this wand.

There have been many good suggestions to improve cleric but they have long since forgotten. How many of these changes have actually been made? Zero!

[Bendersmom]

Thanks None that was a good thread on clerics and I know for sure they Devs looked at the highlights from that.
Another good post was from Phish about int effecting buffs again
