Editing Full Support Cleric Guide (section)

==Skills (by leveling priority)==
Some skills you MUST level first are the following:

'''Iron Heart Blessing''' - some new people look at the first heal you get at level 1, Blessing of the Purehearted (BotP), as the best, but they don't understand that Iron Heart stacks, as in multiple simultaneous heals over time, unlike BotP.

'''Other Heals:''' Wellspring Surge, Stream of Rejuvenation, and Chromatic Healing Beam. 

'''Attacks:''' Plume Shot, Great Cyclone, Wield Thunder, though you should be able to go through low levels just with PS (to save some SP) but GC and WT make things go faster.  If you're not planning to AoE grind then don't touch the AoE attacks much.

'''Buffs:''' Vanguard Spirit, Magic Shell, Spirit's Gift, and Celestial Guardian's Seal. Last one is very expensive so you may level it slower and get more important things. Usually clerics max VS, MS and SG first, and then bother to max CGS above level 60.

'''Revive''' - you need some way to get your party back alive when they die, because no one likes going to town.

'''Purify''' - leveling it up decreases cooldown time and increases it range (handy on AoE bosses). If you are not planning to AoE-poison grind then you may leave it at level 1-5 before level 69, then max it till 80.

'''Regeneration Aura''' - also known as Blue Bubble (BB), get it ASAP.

'''Plume Shell''' - makes shield from your MP and absorbs physical damage (quite often boss/mobs magic is physical-type).
