Actually they can wear 3 of the 4 armor types

Robe / Leather / Chain

How does that answer his question?

[Mr_kzimir]

3 Types of armor allow you to have multiple setups to survive.

I wonder if a dodge cleric will appear one day

I have always wondered if a dodge setup would work on a cleric.. Since it has a blindness skill too..

For the first part of the fight I think the best spot is behind everyone, archers always up at the front, then nukers and melees behind them ready to run across once the forces meet. When its all a scramble its just running around trying to avoid cc/getting hit, you have to know when to spam heals, or when you should just let the person die and rez them so they will no longer be under focus...MP consumption has to come into account, when you've got someone getting hit by a whole party of people, are you going to waste 1/4 of your MP spamming heals on him? Or just let him die then rez him up. Most importantly is how all the healers work together, how fast they are at rezzing each other when one goes down...Its also a whole different story in small scale PvP, or Mass PvP with 50 people on your team.

For my build it will be robes and staff. I'm sure even if healers get the stigma for heavy armor, other things will be impaired...I'm going for pure PvP heals and resurrections, cast speed, mana efficiency, etc...I dont care if I cant kill a lvl 1 mob...my clan will be running organized PvE/grinding parties pretty much every night.

It seems to me that it would be folly to not go heavier armor + shield for any kind of PvP. All of the healing power in the world might not save you if a sin jumps down your throat and takes you down before you are able to react.
