I' m currently going with warlock/cleric combination. I recommend you to read Fug_dup's guide for this build, it s great. You can find all the info there.

Cleric Advantages:

Power in PvP (Heal over Time, Debuff Immune, Bless Spell, and 1 hit skill - Offering)
Party Monsters / Giants (Tankable)

Bard Advantages:

March and Noise
Good for Monster to Monster Grinding (Solo)

I would choose Cleric because when you reach the cap it is all about PvP and Party play is what I would choose to level up during my grind time.

This is what I have gathered anyways.

I had a warlock/cleric but I didn't really like it so I switched back to bard. Cleric is better for pvp, and you could just buy speed drugs if you want to be faster. I didn't like switching weapons in the middle of fighting to heal myself though, because sometimes it would tell me 'joo can't switch in teh middle of combat lol', and it was also hard to heal people while trying to fight yourself in a party. But this was before level 30, when you get the 16 second hp heal skill [forgot the name].

Cleric - advantages
Hp heal, buffs
Offering
Ressurect
One-handed weapon
Can fight parties/champs w/o dying

Bard - advantages
Moving march
Noise
More mp - tuning noise
Less sp needed [only 2 skills that are really necessary to have]
Avoid getting mobbed by aggro stuffs

Cleric - disadvantages
No speed [w/o speed drug]
More sp needed [Cleric only starts getting useful at lvl 30+]

Bard - disadvantages
Two-handed weapon
Less hp

Lol, why switch weapons and heal yourself when warlocks can heal them selfs just fine. And if you are in party, you are supposed to be a support char, so fighting is a no no.

About faster running and noise. It' s not harder without those skills. Cleric in my opinion has more useful skills.

And let s not forget the good old offering, strongest nuke in Silk.

True, but sometimes the vampire skill takes too long to cast/doesn't heal enough hp in time.

Well it' s definitely faster then changing weapon and then casting healing. And as you said, there s always probability of pressing a wrong button and ending up dead

Recovery Division is a buff that heals periodically over a good chunk of time, and lasts after changing to warlock rod.
