Talk:Cleric: Legendary Cleric Build

The information on Holy Arrow in this guide is faulty. Level 1 Shining Ray is not stronger than maxed Holy Arrow. I know this because I have a Priest that was solo cleric. I am able to hit 1800 with Holy Arrow and 2700 when I am fighting a Dark monster. Yes, "Dark" not undead, you only get the type advantage if the monster is dark, though some monsters are Dark and Undead. I realized this as I fought Hoodoos and Voodoos which are undead monsters but I did not get the 1.5x damage like I would on Dark Golems or Death Teddy (Death Teddy is also undead). Shining Ray at level 1 only hit 1100 and with type advantage 1650. Yet another thing to think about is that your level 1 Shining Ray damage shifts from 300~ to your maximum because it's mastery is very low at level 1. Where as your maxed Holy Arrow will always hit high. There it is, maxed Holy Arrow is almost double power of level 1 Shining Ray, has the mastery to allow you to constantly hit high unlike level 1 Shining Ray and Holy Arrow has a casting rate that makes Shining Ray look like Dial-Up connection. I was able to defeat Jr. Balrog at level 73 due to hitting between 1900 and 2600 on Jr. Balrog using Holy Arrow where as my Shining Ray was only hitting between 500 and 1400 on him. You failed to mention that Magic Claw unlike Holy Arrow and Shining Ray has no type advantage. Therefore, unlike Magic Claw which has the damage of 40 x 2 which is sometimes reduced due to defense twice because of both attacks at once, Holy arrow has 80 damage with the possibility of becoming 120 when you are fighting a dark monster and is reduced by monsters defense only once. For a solo Priest Holy Arrow is definately worth while, though I strongly disagree with choosing to be a solo Priest after experience the tough life of solo priesthood. Majority or all of Priest's abilities are meant for parties and attacking almost becomes pointless unless done to many monsters at once which Shining Ray comes into play, because it is a mobbing skill. Maxed Shining Ray based on stats, though I have not experienced this personally, but it only makes sense, will be way stronger than Maxed Holy Arrow and is able to hit 5 monsters all at once. Another down side to Holy Arrow is that not only it has the possibility to get type advantage in which it hits 150% damage it also has the ability be reduced if your fighting a type that Holy attacks are weak against reducing its damage to 50%. In this case Magic Claw is stronger than Holy Arrow. Ofcourse, the same thing happens to Shining Ray also, but even fighting a type that your weak against, the ability to hit 5 monsters at once is unsurmountable.
