Original intent of the temple was for it to be done in parties. I've done it solo with a mage and an Artisan. Maybe if your cleric can't outdo my screwed up artisan(had no idea what was what and had crappy out of level gear then), you should ask around and re-spek it so it's useful?
Clerics arent supposed to be killing machines, you can't complain about that...The quest is fine, at lvl 180 those mobs die in a heartbeat. I even made it with my FS cleric (unrefined gear unrefined wand) and it was slower but fine.
I'm not one of those clerics who want to learn IM skills, then reset and then spend 211sp on attack skills. I consider it cheating (and I hope they ban all clerics who do that) + that way I can never go to Zant and buff noobs in the weekends.
But even if I would abuse that bug like so many other clerics, clerics still stay extremely weak to kill things.
I had luck to attack something with my cleric and then alt+tab and kill it with my artisan who was leveling with her. But I've allready helped multiple other clerics for hours just so that they could finish orlo quest + wayfinder quest + muris key quest.
You talk about mobs in OT at lvl180 but I'm talking about monsters on orlo which take ages to kill with a cleric at lvl200.
And don't complain about artisans because you didn't know better. An artisan is the most (over)powerfull class after champ.
And yes I'll complain about clerics not being able to kill. Diversity is a good thing in rose and it was better when you could either make FS clerics or dex clerics who were average on attacking.
If they make drops shared over the party I don't care. But right now the only real option for a cleric is to buff people + heal people in a party and you should also get quest drops for that job.
