Support and High Damage Cleric Build

Building support and high damage cleric

Support/Balanced built cleric

This cleric has a lot of MP, very high damage and greater healing ranges.

Most people prefer having "Balanced" clerics in their squad as opposed to any other type of build. The "Balanced" build is made up mostly of MAG and STR mainly for it's healing and buffing capabilities as well as it's Arcane Armour capacity.

• Positives of this build
  • Tremendous Amounts of MP
  • Upper Column of Damage and in Heals.
  • Very easy to get into squad for BH, TT, FB and so on.

• Negatives
• Expensive build.
• Not very much HP to live by unless you raise your vit (highly unrecommended).
• Does not deal as much damage as most clerics would hope to.
  
  

Stats

• VIT.
  • Use 1 point per lvl on Vit. from lvl 1-6 since these are the easy levels to gain and will give you some Vit. once you have hit lvl.6 no longer will you need to distribute any of your points into VIT.

• STR
  • Use 1 of your total points received per lvl. from lvl.1 to lvl.6 since your VIT and your STR will be sharing points till lvl.6 after lvl.6 focus 2 points per lvl on STR from lvl 7-20

• MAG
  • Use 3 points per lvl. on your Magic from lvl.1-lvl.20 as soon as you have hit 21 you should start focusing all of your points onto your MAG to improve your Mana,Magic DAM and so on.

• DEX
  • None
    
    

Skills

• IB (Ironheart Blessing), all buffs, metal mastery, Revive highly preferred too, from attacks Plume Shot and Great Cyclone has to be maxed as soon as possible to your lvl.

(Personally was using just Plume Shot and Great Cyclone only for single mobs till lvl80 and Tempest with Razor Feathers for AoE)

• RB (Heaven's Wrath) and BB (Regeneration Aura) are skills you must have. BB will cut all damage squad is getting by 50% and heal all squad members in effect range.

RB will raise squad members attack rating, channeling speed and dealing damage, very good when you have 4+ DD's in squad to kill boss faster. Both skills range is 15meters.

• Tempest prefer to lvl max too. And on tempest lvl.1 max as you can Razor Feathers also(should be till lvl8), and at this point you can start learning and using solo AoE grinding. Best coins and exp making as far as I know, basically same or better than AoE grinding with BM, and far more better than zhen.

• Purify is a skill you must have at least lvl1, and preferred to raise lvl at least to lvl5 as fast as u can from extra spirit points. Essential for some bosses, also very usable in solo AoE against wood mobs which uses position, these mobs will be best your friends, at least they are for most of clerics.

• Chromatic Healing Beam (AoE heal) also usable quite often but if don't have extra coins/Spirit points can leave it at lvl1.

• Wellspring Surge - fastest instant heal spell. Will save you and other low-hp players.

• Stream of Rejuvenation - to heal large chunks of barb's HP.

• Plume Shell

• All other skills are up to you and your free spirit points. Some other info can be found here: Full Support Cleric
  
  

Gear adds/bonuses (not by priority)

HP / Vitality , since you wont have too much HP then it's good to get some more.

Phys. Res. always good to have more.

Magic Attack / Magic increases healing and damage power.

channeling -x% since most cleric skills have short channeling time you will need to stack many gear parts with this stat to get satisfactory results.
For example:
-15% channel will shorten total cast time of Chromatic Healing Beam from 4.5s to 3.975s (half of second difference)
-20% Stream of Rejuvenation from 3.5s to 3s (4.5->4 with cooldown)
-30% Tempest 5.5s -> 4.3s (1.2s difference)
-40% Ironhear Blessing 2s -> 1.6s (3->2.6 with cooldown)

Critical Hit Rate for PVP purposes, but again you will need to get many gear parts since clerics don't have any crit-increase skills or dex build (if not LA).

MP+ for saving mp charm (dont bother above 75lvl).

Don't try to get items with all of them. Focus on 3-4 and build them up.

Shards and refine

Shards citrines if you have low HP. Then with gamets (p.def) if you think you got enough HP by refine/vit stat or citrines. In weapons sapphires only (+magic attack) and refine.

Few more hints

• On genie for support cleric is very useful skill is Essence Penetration. lvl10 this skill will give u 2+sparks in 15s, and if you need to cast BB suddenly, but don't have enough sparks it is very very good, or other situation when you need more chi fast.
• Use Advanced spark eruption when you can and know you won't need 2 sparks fast. Helps attacking and healing also recovers 10% your max MP so you do what you do better and can do that longer not using MP pots or ticking charm.
