As the title says, this will be a guide for the Warrior/Cleric build at Cap 100. Notice that this guide may not be that good when the new cap (105) is released, but we gotta wait to see what does cap105 brings us.
Before starting, let me just say that this is my first guide ever, but I will really make an effort to make it the best possible, and with the least errors possible (english is not my mother tongue ;))
One more thing: This is the way I see how a warrior/cleric should be skilled and should be used in Pvp. I will try to explain why I use it that way. It may not be the best way to use it, but soo far, it has worked pretty well for me. At lvl79 (still haven't got Dare Devil), I've been able to kill most builds up to lv85, and even kill some lv90+, soo I must be doing something right.
As we all know, Warrior/Cleric is one of the strongest builds in Silkroad Online at the moment. It is a great character for PvE either in solo or in party. Also, it is a great char for party play in events such as Fortress War, Capture the Flag, or any other that envolves party pvping.
This guide will try to get a bit of everything. I will expand this guide when I can, adding new stuff and new tactics.
Warrior main damage is physical, and all your attacks will be physical, meaning that a warrior/cleric must be FULL STR. Don't even add 1 INT. Don't even think about it, the moment you add 1 INT, you are ruining your build...
As an european, you have 3 choices of armors. Heavy Armor, Light Armor or Robes:
Skills
I have a warrior/cleric myself, and in my opinion, the only weapons that you need as a warrior, are 2handed and axes. 1handed is in my opinion, a waste of SP. Why? First, 1handed is the weapon that deals the least damage out of the 3. Second, 1handed main focus is to dull/stun/kb. You can get stun and KB with the 2handed and axes, while dealing more damage. However, I will add the 1handed mastery skills as Optional.
Let's start then. This is how I see Warrior/Cleric should be skilled. 2handed will be your main weapon, for PvPing and especially for PvE, since it is the strongest of the 3. Axes will be your "second attack weapon" in PvP and Party PvP/PvE. 2handed will deal the most damage, the switches to Axes will be used to stun your enemy(either a player or a monster [Uniques]).
The next picture will show you what to skill in warrior, and what you don't need. As I said before, I won't consider 1handed as a truly needed weapon, soo it will be marked as optional.

Pain Quote / Part of the damage received by one party member will be split and dealt to every party member. For example, one member is hit with a 5000 hit. 800 damage will be split by the party, and everyone will get 100 damage. The original person is hit with 4300 damage, the others get 100 damage.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
Physical Fence / You can only cast this to a party member. This will make the party member receive a lot less damage, and deal that damage to you. A person with this buff is hit with 1000 damage, and is using the 50% buff. It will only receive 500 damage, and the buff caster will receive another 500.

As an european, you have 3 choices of armors. Heavy Armor, Light Armor or Robes:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
Heavy Armor
Physical defense: 3/3
Magical defense: 1/3
Speed: 1/3 (20% slower than robes)
MP Consumption: 1/3
[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
Light Armor
Physical defense: 2/3
Magical Defense: 2/3
Speed: 2/3 (10% slower than robes)
MP Consumption: 2/3 (Consumes 10% less than Heavy Armor)
[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
Robes
Physical defense: 1/3
Magical defense: 3/3
Speed: 3/3 (20% faster than Heavy Armor)
MP Consumption: 3/3 (Consumes 20% less than Heavy Armor)
In my opinion, I rather use the Heavy Armor. In PvP, most of your longest battles will be against FULL STR characters, either Bowers, Rogues, Bladers, Glaivers, most will do physical damage. Don't worry about the lack of Magical Defense. Nukers, Wizards, and other Full Int or Hybrid builds will be easily killed, because of their lack of HP and defenses. If you are having troubles, you can always use Skins or Bless.
As for PvE, most mobs in-game deal physical damage, until lv70-80 (Change to Roc Mount or the cave). When that moment comes, you probably won't need to worry much, since mobs will deal both physical and magical attacks, and you can endure some magical attacks while Recovery Division or your pots keep you alive.
You can always use Light Armor or Robes if you like them more or you are having problems ;)
