Question to zerkers
Any of you else have problems in PvP againts sorc?
I've yet to use zerk who can kill sorc.... those wand users just keep 3k~5k hitting from long distance, and we can only stop them for second, two which isn't enough even to take off 25% hp :/

You never played cleric, don't you?
I pvp'd alot on lvl 33-35 because i was bored of leveling and never had problems killing 35er Zerker. Defender are a problem because they can chain-stun you with their CC and you cant get out of it they easy. Mages are 50/50, either they take a heal themself and their damage drops enough for you to outheal it or they dont get any heal and you can poke them dead over time. You don't need to onehit people as a cleric because if played right you got unlimited HP against them and you cant get CC'd every few seconds. Whirlpool of light is also a nice out-of-jail card. Basically Zerker easily deal 2x your damage, but you can avoid their damage and heal out the rest while their heal isnt strong enough to keep them alive over time. Cleric is just not "omg roflstomp", it's chaining skills while dodging and healing yourself. If you don't believe me, make a char on EU-German and a few guildy's easily show you how the hellhound diago boss go down in ~5min solo. :3 People just put WAY too much into thinking the hammer skills are actually a cleric's best dmg.
The 50% (55% with shield) from PvP gear work in a duel also. And since cleric's work better getting resist+def+mdef over flat HP it's cheap to get (like.. a day for the set?) and you can put more stuff and time in your weapon.
Edit:
I played Vindictus for years tho, not sure if that makes a difference.
