cleric or bard sub for a wizard? & best skills?

ginokid · **Joined:** Dec 2007 **Posts:** 119

I'm plvl'ing my new wizard and she is lvl 43 so far. I didnt pick a sub yet because I never played a cleric or bard. Which would be better as a sub?
If you switch weps to buff or whatever when you switch back to your staff do the buffs go away?

Which sub, cleric or bard & which skills are best to pick.

Thx

Bard sub, easy to level alone for the times when you cannot find a share xp party. Later on at higher levels, its probably only useful for your char if you become a trader. Main skills to take include moving march ~ swing march, and noise.

Cleric sub would help you to better pvp 1on1, and a better asset in any party. Minimal skills to take (that wont go away when you switch weapons) include bless spell, recovery division, holy word/spell, +/- healing orbit. You can take resurrection if you have the sp, would make you a backup reser for your party. Try to avoid healing spells, or the int/str and defense buffs, as they dont linger when you change weapons.

Which sub is better? Either one, and its mainly your preference. Since Euro charachters works best in a group, concentrating on only being a wizard without a sub is usually enough to party level and to pvp teamplay.

Passives only work with the weapon of that mastery. So no.

In terms of subs, I strongly recommend cleric. It not only strengthens you as a wizard because of constant healing, immunity and bless spell, but it also makes you a bigger asset in a party...although I do like to have at least 1 person with a bard sub in the party.

I would say the biggest deciding factor of a sub class for wizards is who you party with. You will most likely spend 80% of your PvP time in a party, so if you have 5 sub cleric friends you party with, and 3 of them are pure int...and you have 1 friend that's bard, I would go bard...unless your bard friends is always on.

I was a wiz/cleric from day 2...remade my wiz/bard after the first day when it was lvl 20...but I really didn't use my cleric sub intensively until I started partying with friends. 1 of my friends ever rerolled a cleric/bard because we couldn't find a warrior, and now I am the designated cleric, and we party a lot with wiz/bards for the speed and dmg.

...but again, the better solo PvP subclass is cleric, and the better solo leveling class is Bard.
