Cleric is great to survive with, easy for learning the ropes as a c/c. Shaman is good for learning when to run away from fights, both as a c/c and as a melee/hybrid. I'd say that I never really learned PK until I stopped playing melees.
Re-Noob Suggestions?
Liadon is / was a Demon Shaman! I was rewarded that after my in-depth role-play. If she's still an active character on the server I'll get back on after I've gotten used to caster classes, and PKing a bit more. I feel what I've been given has been wasted on me, but if I learn to use her/it correctly I'm more than confident to say she'll put most to everyone down.
Ex-Healer of Compassion, now a demonized worshiper of Anume.
I think she's the sexiest bad-guy character I've ever owned in any sort of video game and it's hard for me to get into bad-guys let alone find a female one attractive.
I dunno... evil females always make me wanna say, "try hard..."
She was undead, not demon.
Regardless, it was something I felt awesome for getting.
Rightfully so.
