Is there any way for a cleric to actualy play solo, and if there is how to do it?

"Is there any way for a cleric to actualy play solo, and if there is how to do it?"

My answer is: depends

Depends of your level, depends of what you want to do, depends of your gear and depends of the pets you have.

If your intention is to grab skill points, well, you have no option, you HAVE to solo (mainly because nobody lately on LC wants to make party with a "leeching" cleric stealing skill points. Unfortunately is now a solo game, but let's see how it will be in some days... )

If your intention is to power level I would say that depends. If you have A LOT of pots and equip +15 and with a good pet you can. It will take a lot of time to you kill, but it is not impossible. Of course it is MUCH better with a party (much faster too). also depends of the level of the monster and your own. If you are a cleric 59 DO NOT TRY to solo a demon, you can't. Well, in fact you can, but will take around 10 minutes to you solo one, so in the end it won't worth. If you are 88 with at least +13 armor and +15 weapon you can solo a zombie or a fighter or even a spearman on tomb. If you are a cleric 115 you also can't solo a sorcerer on Spirit's cave, except if you bought the whole item mall of potions and medicines.


I know my reply was kinda vague, maybe if you say your level and what you want to do right now might help?

I also did a "mini guide" once in a topic, maybe your question may be cleared there:

ABSOLUTELY!!!

Best tip i can give:
DON'T EXPECT TO DO ANYTHING FAST

Get good gear, i know this seems like a "duh" statement... but save for +15 (+13 or 14 if you cover.. i <3 covers lol)
Max EVERY passive and all the dual calls skills
with the cleric's slow kill speed you should be able to build a good passive pet just through SPing past pork
once you get Party Heal 2 get into MCs you can make good money for gear (anyone who says too low, ask for one shot.. a good cleric can outheal any 2 archers)

My personal experience:
Demons: once I got mana shield 2, slow killing but can be done with moonstone/merchant pots and mins.
Zonbies: i could handle them at 53: 55-57+15 armor 57+15 wep, again slow to kill
Sphinx Fighter/Anubis Spear: 70-72 +15 armor, 73+15 wep(sphinx) and 85+15(anubis), and either a HP steal or a IM shield
(didn't need both.. i "tested" this extensively lol) plus minerals/pots, need i say "slow" again?
Commander: 87, +10-12 b5e helm g5e, 85+15 wep, pots/mins ofc and... sloooooow going

I think clerics are one of the best solo'ist on LC. We have very nice heals. Sorry but archer heals just don't cut it especially as you lvl higher. With 1-2 heals, your hp bar is full.

We have very good buffs for ourselves. Tho, being a cleric does take patience. But you can fight hard monsters since you don't have to depend on pots. Just yourself. But you do need good gear (especially as you get to a high lvl). And a decent lvl pet to put pet points on defence.

Being a cleric was my first char on LC and it was hard at first but it has been worth it. Just give it some time and you'll fall in love with being a cleric. =)

Happy gaming,
Roseilyn

ofc Clerics can solo
as Robe Roseilyn and Irea already said good gear is essential and don't expect to kill anything fast.

i never had +15 armor til now (lvl 109 ish) but have always used +16 weps (Luv prs+3 <3)
at lower lvls my armor was always +6-+12, 85-87 set +14

i could solo ...
lvl 40 sphinx
55 demons
70 zonbies
75 cursed weaver and cursed lich
85ish spearman
90ish commanders
107 sorc in spirit cave

most of this with just hb, mins, kiting, and my cleric skills (and sometimes crit) ... comms i needed hps til i finished upgrading my 105-7 set ... sorc, LOL, i need loadsa IM stuff (mag shield and stealers are just the beginning) but i can solo them

good luck to you

Clerics are stronger than you think; if you think the killing time is slow, use the slot-system to place lv2-3 (or higher if you can afford it...) into your gear and add a jag w/ cheer to your pet list, and pull out when your HP is less than 50% for a small boost.

The essential cleric build is to max out dex as soon as your INT gets to 100; at lvl 60 (read the suggested cleric build on wetpaint.com site)... in 70s, i was largely dependant on Stone of Shadow and Crest of Rainbow, but as you build up your dex you should move over into crit and HP/MP steal accessories as soon as you can afford it. Also, you should consider investing in good armor (blue 5 slot evasion, is preferred; second would be blue 5 slot constitution) in your Reviving/Dimension armors. Max your weapon to +14 first, then armor.

As you lvl into the 90s, you'll find you are a formidable beast, and likely more powerful than your archers of the same lvl. Ultimately, the real boost up in your PvP skills will jump w/ barrier. Check out the videos on YouTube... they speak for themselves

Remember, you might kill slower, but you will survive longer w/ less pots.

Dex is that wise to boost after u hit 100 int? Since Cleric is afterall a magic attack toon! Just wondering!

IF the game hasn't changed since December (last time I logged in to play), no, do not stat on dexterity, keep it as 17.

Keep statting on intelligence for more magical attack or on constitution for more HP and mana (I personally recommend constitution, as you will have to do that after level 140 anyway). Statting dexterity is useless, it doesn't give you an awesome crit rate at the point to you stop needing crit pots (unless you have lots of crit seals on your accessories, so you can test), as you still would need crit pot, use the stat to get other advantage, otherwise it would be a waste of stats. I had statted my cleric on dex once to test and I didn't see any benefit on it.

Statting on constitution made me be able to survive way better in mondshine without using 2-3 rows of pots, since I never was an AP noob when I played.

If the game had changed for clerics since then, so please someone else give the update.
