Before I start allocating my stat points, what are the different builds that people use? I don't want to screw up and not be able to change it later. I plan on being a main healer in parties, doing as little soloing as possible. Thanks!

If you plan on being pure backline?
25 Spirit first, then 50 Endurance.
You won't grab too much aggro with healing to start out with, and the extra SP makes for a lot more heals between resting.
Later on, heal can and will steal aggro from any class in the game, and you will start taking hits which you will need to endure, lest you stop healing the tank to save your own life, at which time everyone dies.
The rare times you're stuck in combat, the criticals from your spirit will kill your opponent that much quicker, resulting in an easier victory and fewer resources
If you plan on a little bit of solo? Or front-lining?
10 Endurance first, then 25 spirit, then another 40 Endurance.
Early HP will let you survive more easily in combat at that level, whilst the early spirit will allow you to bring in the damage early on. Further endurance will help your block stat, which in turn will save your life more often than you'll ever know.
The other main build people used for clerics that aren't pretending that they can deal good damage is full endurance, allowing for the maximum HP total for yourself so you can dedicate more of your Heal spells to your comrades. Not really my cup of tea, since Endurance becomes somewhat less useful after 50, since the Block% it gives after that is halved - and 0.1% block is far, far more useful than the 0.5 defence and 5 HP that endurance gives, but your mileage may vary.

Wow, great info thanks a bunch! I already have a character which I am doing all the quests, and I want to have a character where all I do is KQ. That way I just play it for about 30-40 minutes and have my fill. I doubt I'll be able to endure a lot of healing people because I know I'll run into my fair share of idiots.
Thanks again! A+ post!
