Editing Cleric Common Stat Builds (section)

== Light Armor Cleric ==
A light armor cleric uses stats so they can wear light armor instead of robes. The stats needed per level to wear light armor are:
** 1 Strength
** 1 Dexterity
** 3 Magic
As you can see this is another build where no points are put into vit to give HP. Clerics go light armor because they are looking to obtain better defenses than they could get in robe armor. Though I think you can get better defenses just by refining physical adorns as robes, some players prefer to go light armor so they won't have to refine.

Build is dedicated to endgame, where high refines will make up for points lost in str and dex. Usually, vit cleric will gain better survivability than LA with corresponding gear.


'''Reasons to go Light Armor:'''

*Higher critical rate for PvP
*Armor gives more HP per refine than robes
*Armor looks cooler than robes on male clerics


'''Reasons Not to go Light Armor'''
*Less magic attack, need to refine weapon high to make up loss
*Less HP, need to refine armor to make up loss
*Lower magic defense


It's really up to you as a player how you want to stat your cleric. Light armor can be good for having better survivability at a cheaper cost than a robe cleric.
