Hi!
I have a farming full int guy @ server Venus. He's full int, planning to be a warlock with bard or cleric sub.

1; Which is the better sub for a warlock? IMHO:
Cleric:
+ Great for healing and abnormal removal
- Needs loads of SP, thus farming
- I'll be rather a cleric in a party than warlock, won't I?

Bard:
+ Increased moving speed and aggro prevention
- Doesn't really help on the low HP of a warlock

2; How many SPs do I need to farm with the cleric/bard sub?

3; Which skills are to take from warlock/bard/cleric masteries? IMHO:
Warlock: ALL
Cleric: Healing, abnormal stuff and offering
Bard: Marches, Noise and Mana Cycle

Hmm... I'd say go Cleric / Warlock ... Much better choice ... There is one awesome guide there ... viewtopic.php?f=5&t=62280

You'd get into more parties if you farmed cleric first then warlock later on. Not to mention the ease of playing cleric is at higher levels . Only problem is, are there even good euro parties in xian?

I would not do warlock/cleric/bard cause euro can only hav their masteries 2x there lvl. so at 80 cap ur masteries would be 80 warlock/40 cleric/40 bard. I would just warlock/cleric.

P.S. wat lvl is ur warlock?

with bard your mainly getting noise and moving march id think. however with warlock thats kind of pointless since one of the fastest ways of grinding with warlock is to debuff, and dot everything and run around till they all die. Though moving march coudl help here noise certainyl wont. So this could be done with drugs of typhoon. And with cleric you could always just get it for recovery division and bless since you'll be agroing so much. However in terms of being invited to parties, people like a good bard as well as a good cleric

If you go Warlock/bard you gonna have some skills that contradict each other.
Shadow/Dusk Armor with Noise.
Shadow/Dusk armor icnreases the aggro on you BIGTIME.
So if you plan to go sub bard you better not take that skill. (Shadow/Dusk Armor)

IMO, Warlock should go sub cleric, cause you will always grind in parties (for faster leveling), thus, you will always have march cause there's no pt without a bard.
I hardly go cleric in a pt cause with my debuffs we kill the mobs 2 times faster.

EDIT:
As for the Farming question, Warlock build consumes about 350K SP, and with the cleric sub, a minimum of 450K SP total would be a good start.
Just keep a gap of 3 to 4 (sometimes) till 60, then go 9 gap from 60 to 69-70lv and farm at generals, so you can get the most Skill experience from the highest level mob on the map. (also a good boost for your economy, cause u get 8d drops there)

450k sp, I can make a warlock/wiz for less. I can make a good warlock for less than 400k sp.
