Best would be to check a Cleric's Guide...

"Aeyr's Cleric guide" is pretty good

Yes, what TheCompanions said. Clerics don't get much more pro than Aeyr.

For farming, you probably ought to duo or make a fighter.

Ok while her guide is great you'll be needing more specific answers. So fill in a few things below then I'll tell you what you need to know. Support is support, but if you aren't leveling very high there aren't many skill points. I know you said ZK but that doesn't mean you are staying on ZK. GGK is a more profitable boss, but I don't remember ZK it's been near two years since I've farmed there.

Boss you plan to farm?
How long you plan to farm this boss?
Do you plan to make the cleric a perm for that boss or continue leveling?
How much cash to do you have currently to build this char?
Are you able to use the cashshop?

Actually if you choose either ZK or GGK build and gear won't change too much. I really suggest you opt for GGK though because of the additional skills acquired in the 4x levels. You get your second attack skill, Bleed if you want to be more effective at farming, aka use a mace not a hammer. You also get rejuvenate and endure, as well as you'll be able to perform much better in pvp kq and get free war rants for first or third place finishes.
Gear -
High End/Dex level 35 Might Set. End/dex/spr if you can find it, but maxing out the end/dex is the most important.
Boots - Mental/Safety depending on which boss you fight. Again go with end/dex. See if you can find pre-nerf safety boots.
Get the set +9 if you can.
Same stats go for your helm/mace/shield (+9 of course)

Jewelry-
Glory Necklace and Gold Ring along with the highest End/dex/spr you can find on a ZK/GGK ring. Robo Dark earrings if you are under 40, Cursed Tooth if over 40.
+9 if you want, but at least +3 since it's no risk.

Build- Full STR for maximum damage. The end/dex gearing and +9 will give you all the def you need.

Skill empowerments -
5 Points Cooldown and Power of Bash (this takes you through level 21)
Use the next 4 points for the power of heal
Save 31-39 to use on the cooldown of Bleed when you hit 40.
then use 41 to finish the heal power.
You will be left with 4 points to use as you see fit.
Here is a decent option, 1 point into heal cd, 1 point into rejuv power and cd, 1 point into invincible duration.

This caps you at 49. GGK still has a decent drop rate, you get the second level of Bleed, you'll be able to tear some people up in pvp kq and get freebie rants.

As for the cash shop, get the dragon's grace buffs, and either a def suit with an angel set and crit glasses, or a crit suit/glasses/helm and a def backpack. Some might say get the extra crit, but you are already adding in a ton with either, the def helps a lot.

I mainly soloed to 80, never had the Tower or an academy for money along the way, and still do most of my stuff solo. I have no problems with keeping a party of suicidal nutjobs alive either when I'm doing KQs/grinding/instances so I do know what I'm blabbing about. :D

Awe, that actually made my day, I'm glad I stopped in c:



But a STR/ DEX or STR/END hybrid build is you best et, or a combination of the two. If you only want to farm ZK etc and you cap at 46, because I believe thats the highest level you can get in there, you'll have 51 points. So I'd go 15 DEX, then 20-25 points in STR rest in END. Lower levels are hard for a hybrid build because you lack so many skill and stat points but lay them out in those stats as you see fit because they make farming and party PVE so much easier.

Infestation got the gear on the nose. Shoot for END/ DEX/ STR or END/ DEX/ SPR combos. I say STR over SPR because there are very few magic damage mobs that can kill a cleric, not only go we have shields, but the second best mdef and party buffs as well.

Always use a mace, the skills cool down faster and over time, which boss fights are, they do more damage.

As far as skill points go at level 46 you have 22.

[(odd level - 1)/2 = # of skill points for current level]
[(even level - 2)/2 = # of skill points for current level]
(Side note: QQ I lost my twizzlers while typing that)

I highly suggest maxing out heal CD/ power as well as bash CD/ power. That leaves you with two left for trip CD rejuv and invince can wait because at that level it will never last the full duration anyway and you won't know how to properly use rejuv until you've had experience with it grinding and at that point unless you've made another cleric and know what you're doing extensively, you won't.

I could add a little bit more but KI have to get read for guild siege, PM post on my thread or here blahblahblah if I can be of more help and good luck with your cleric, despite all the SC hoes its worth it, that's why I played this game so long and especially why I have two.

OK... well I Asked SassyTink who is 103 HK i think.. she said that spr is good.. for crits and m.def,
and i think that my build will look like this: 30str 25spr rest end? is that good? im not planning to farm forever and im not an money bish.. got only 3.7g atm and i think i get 20 +9s.. sell those for profit at 30 and buy 30 stuffz.. and maybe +9 maybe not.. i cant get +9 sets.. not +9 mace and shield.. only thing i can get for +9 at 30 is mace/shield.. so.. i guess imma farm ZK for awhile and then start GGK maybe.. and maybe lil bit of King Marlone farming too :P

[Aeriex]

If you intend to use cash shop the 25 SPR is NOT needed. with 25 spr in build its only 13 extra mdef and 5% crit.

[j6kikawatti7]

yea i planned spr for the crits cuz i love them :P
so im not gonna use SC too.. i dont have it ;(
