starting a new party cleric!

[waterwalker5]

hey i want to be a FULL party cleric, like healing and buffing, that kind of thing.

whats a recommend build for this? i heard 25 spr, rest end?

but i don't need critical rate cause ima be healing not killing ;p

so..whats a recommend build for this?
NOTE: i wanna be a Guardian, idk if that matters

Also, i heard people saying like add to these skills and such, how do you do that? cause im confused about that...dont you just buy the skills and use them?

NOTE: i already read Aeyr's guide
- also,, mace or hammer?

also, any comments/tips for a full party cleric?

Thanks you very much!!

end is OK, but what you really want to focus on is having as much sp as you can, so I (this is just what I'd do, you don't have to pay any attention to me. do what you want. it is after all, your cleric) would do full spr for maximum sp. good luck ^_^

every time you level up you recieve skill points to be added to ur skills...
when u acces ut skill list there is a litle blue square with a P.. clin on it and the you'll be able to lincrease a skill for skill either. less cool down or more power on it...
you should increase the hp restore and decrease cool down of all of heaing skills...
i hope this help you...
about mace or hammer.. i would recomend hammer but it is up to you..... the weapon is just going to help you ti fight.. personally i preffer hammer because of its attack rate... sometimes i have to play solo so thats why...
i ope this works for you

25spr is pretty useless on a party cleric, it's only benefit is the crit boost, 150sp doesn't help as much as the block rate / pure def of a full End cleric

so, so far i got
- full spr, but that doesn't matter cause i wont be fighting

also what ex.plode said useful stuff, but yet didn't say which build would be good or the best..:(

thanks for everyone who posted here!

im still taking builds for a full party, no attack cleric!

There is no best builds, only ones that fits you, and even then it may change as you level.

Personally, I am end(50) spr(25) dex(whatever left) at the moment.
A build I liked [spr for the magic def mostly] but not sure it will last [I am lucky enough to be able to reset my build if necessary].

It pretty much depends on you, once you know what each stat does.

I agree with this post. As a 9x cleric, spr really isn't needed to heal. One could claim that 25 spr is for the extra SP, but in reality, clerics get the second highest SP boost and it's not really a problem. My cleric was str/end and only stocked up on sp stones every other day.

As for a build, stick with an Endurance based build, either End/Dex, End/Str, or Pure End.

With a good End build, you'll get a good block rate. Block rate comes into effect when you get swamped with mobs in Tough Healing jobs- Instances like DT/CC/Izyel Tower and SoD/AR grinding. Trust me, clerics will pull mobs often if you do your job right(unintentionally through heal aggro),and that high block rate will save you at least one or two times. It did for me.

[Infestation]

50 Dex/ Rest End will do you wonders. This will allow you both a high block rate as well as evasion when you pull aggro. And trust me, you will pull aggro.

Also you'll be using a hammer

Points from level , Skill empowerments

3-21, Do the power and cooldown of Heal
23-41, save these and use them for the power and cooldown of Rejuvenate

After this point you have a lot of options. You can or cannot choose to do the cooldown of both Quicken and Recover. I use quicken a lot. There are also the option of doing the cooldown of Revive, it helps later on and with KQs/Raids. I even know a couple that have full cooldown on Cure.

But you will want 5 points saved for Awaken cooldown at 85, and Rebirth cooldown at 100.

1 point into the duration of invincible is ok too, just don't put points into the cooldown it's a broken empowerment
