With holy light available at lvl 100, how do cleric level until then? Especially if there is no party available?

If you're an int based player, youll choose matk mobs. Try medusa or leopards for levelling~
I doubt that cleric will find it hard to find a party in game since theyre usually needed in party.

I rarely had time to be online, so waiting around for party is not and option. Thank you!

I don't know Ket... As an Int Cleric, I feel like I'm just a burden to PTs unless we're boss farming and they just need that extra cushion of heals. Grind wise, Int Cleric Dmg sucks and except for the gimpiest builds, our heals are rarely required esp when a Wiz or a Agi cleric can still throw the occasional heal and Blessings while doing better (in Wiz case, Much better) dmg. On Medusas or Leopards, same lvl wiz will out dmg ManaWave3 even before L80 when Wiz gets L3 FireLance. Not to mention they cast FireLance faster than MW3. At best, you're looking at 2 - 3x more dps Post L80 until past 100 when Clerics gets their first spell after MW3; I don't have any experience with that yet...

Clerics dps doesn't actually suck you can't say that. The good thing with Holy light is how it doesn't have a cast time timer and is practically automatic. Compared to fire lance or ice spear, which isn't. But it all depends on the gear you use. either way the build will help you later on when you become a full bishop and at level 180 you get a strong AOE skill called Nemesis which does alot of damage

Most if not all my post was re: PRE 100...So is the OP's question.

They have manawave 3, besides if you were to build as a int/dex cleric your main role would be to support the party by healing. You could grind up to level 100 easily by just supporting, which is what the main role of being a bishop in this game is. And if there is no party available they could always train their pet to be strong enough to attack mobs, its possible. You could also try Porges with manwave 3 they give 800-1000+ xp every kill which is kind of fast.

O.O tried porges. If you dont 1 hit them, they will hurt you alot. What about dark blast though? Is the damage okay?

You need to be patient and resourceful to level as a pre-bishop Cleric. - One way is to use two devices and create a DPS type to level with your cleric.
- Around lvl50, you can keep switching from apprentice cleric to apprentice wizard and back to app cleric. Switch to the job you think will be more efficient for certain situations. I have a friend that didn't change to full cleric till 100
- You may also invest on Sonic Boom skill crystal (can be created at Saterica's merchant). It is a wind element, fast cast magic skill with low mp consumption.
If you have a high level friend who's willing to help you with MQ to jump levels, then good for you. (but bear in mind that no one is obligated to help you, so don't feel bad if they wont)

Tried most of these (not the sonic boom one) just to test things out As a App-Wiz, I was able to one shot the Dark Soldiers in L1 of dark domain (the ones outside sucks on xp) using my wiz' gimpy matk gear. Best XP, IMO, if you're solo since they die fast enough to beat the higher xp/kill of medusas. Same character, but App-Cleric takes 2 MW3 to kill a soldier, not to mention longer casting time.

I dont get the problem. If u have MW3 and DB2, some good gear u can easy solo bosses like beelzed, schlingel, bossheit, sand dragon....even @lvl 70-80 like i did. Of course you need to be patient cause if you skilled like me cleric for tankbishop you are still a healing class dealing little damage, on the other hand you can take dmg very easy.

Because the conversation is mostly about grinding/Xping, and you're thinking of boss runs. VERY different things.

Interesting replies.
I found cleric the easiest to level as you simply do get parties whenever and wherever. Sure you can't attack much, but you won't need to. That's not the point of a cleric, that comes later. And DPS Bishop is very useful as they have the hp to take enough hits until they can super fast heal, to take even more hits. And the MATK and speed to deal decent damage.
I levelled largely by doing MQ, which as a cleric is easy as, as above, you will ALWAYS get a party when the servers are busy, albeit after waiting for maybe 10 minutes. This has become a hundred times easier as there's often a ninja farming or some such who will welcome any character who can heal.
I've never had to do any of this making a second account, getting sonic boom etc etc lol.
Interesting reply from jeancarlo, I've never known low level parties to prefer a wizard's heal or low int cleric over pure int/dex... Yes they'll want a wizard in their party for the damage but that's because damage is the wizard's job. They'll want a cleric because healing is the cleric's job. And they'll want as high a heal as possible. A cleric isn't a burden to a party if they will die without a cleric. It's a necessity. (Or at least a good healer is a necessity in many cases).
I have raised two clerics, one bishop build and one monk build and I've certainly not experienced the problems you guys are talking about. It seems you would be better suited for playing as wizards as you get to deal huge damage and are more involved in attacking right from the start. The down side of that? You'll not be able to solo MQ bosses as cleric can in many cases and for low levels, cleric gets parties faster than Wizard. Personally I prefer playing HighWizard but that's just me.

Rascally, maybe it's a question of when/where you consider "low level parties" Even in AtG, the only time I've seen ppl looking for cleric is when it comes time for FG Other wise, poison vaccine pretty much handles the only real issue in there. (and yes, I have tried AtG on a Monk build cleric and now a Bishop build cleric). The most use I have had so far is when PTing with guildies at mega. YMMV...
