  Clerics: Clerics are in high demand, but I consider them to be the donkey class in the game. If they are the first ones to get blamed in a failed battle because they didn't heal their party fast enough.

  
  
  This part apply to every mmo with dedicated healer. People never want to blame themselves for their mistake so they use their scapegoat (healer) instead. It makes them feel less pathetic at their lack of skills and/or their stupidity. While it does happen that there are some bad healer I'd say their ratio is something like 1 bad healer for every 20 good one. Yet the 20 good ones are blamed upon when something goes wrong. This is pretty much why I stopped playing healer/cleric in games even though support is my favorite role.

  So I've been completely addicted to this game (playing till 1 AM every day (I usually go to bed around 10-11.)
  
  But I have an issue. I'm a Defender, and am starting the Contaminated Garden quests, and I'm having a bit of trouble taking on multiple enemies at once. Because the Bonbons pop up from the ground in groups, and being alone makes it really hard to balance attacking with blocking and dodging, along with pretty limited stamina I can't use any big attack combos.
  
  Any advice?

  You're not supposed to do garden, or later on catacombs/monastery by yourself... those are party instances.
  
  Usually just stand outside for a few minutes and do a field message such as "lfp normal garden" and usually someone will invite you to their party. It might take a bit depending on what time of the day it is, but if you're looking for a party you will always get one since there is no benefit from running with any less than a full party.
  
  Also, when you find a garden party... don't run in and aggro enemies unless your other party members are looking for that. I say this, because a lot of the time people just want speed runs and would rather everyone avoid any enemies that can be avoided.

  Yeah, I know. I have been playing till 3:00 AM and I have an exam to study for! :stress:
  
  The Garden is not designed for solo play. You need to a party to succeed.
  
  The mobs have higher HP than normal field mobs and the pollen and spikes can easily kill you.
  
  There's always a crowd staying outside the garden. If you wait long enough and be kind, you should be able to join a party.
  
  -----------------------------------------------------------
  
  
  One annoyance is there are quests at Mt. Edna which forces you to PvP which I don't like.
  
  It's always a one sided battle where one clan has more people than the other.

  Well, I did the Garden (multiple times :p ), and I did the other Vesphio quest thing and now it seems like I have to enter the Catacomb of the Damned now.
  
  
  Forced PVP? Ugh. I tried it a few times and didn't like it. It was basically me running in circles occasionally doing a hit or two. D:

  I was able to level my character in the 30s the ending content:
  
  - Level 30 takes you to the city sewers.
  - There is a lot of backtracking with sewer quests which I don't like.
  - The Spawn Points are not placed in the best locations. I find myself dying and having to run half-way across the map to get back to my quest.
  -There is also the monastery instance that you can go for parties. But as level up you get less exp.
  
  Overall I find that Raiderz the game content is strong in the beginning and mid, but a little weaker near the end.
