I was wondering since at level 30 i get a reset stat scroll,what is the cleric support build.I started doing the solo build (25 SPR rest STR) but ig et in alot of party and get alot of aggro and have kinda low def and HP. And kinda Faster EXP in party.
1. What is Support build? Full end? 25SPR ,REST END?
2. Can it solo fine,Slow but fine?
3. Mace or Hammer for Support cleric, if theres a difference?

Hmm...a normal support build is +25 end,rest is spr but u can at least keep it balanced a bit but make sure spr is more than end like at my lvl i have+35 end,+42 spr,also make sure ur gear has high spr stats,and focus on the cd and sp consumue for heal and restore b4 working on anything else.
As for soloing,a bit slower than a pure str or battle cleric but u use less sp stones cuz of the high amount of sp u have,and u hit crits alot.

Why be 25 end and full spr o0? You dont need to much spr to heal in parties o0
if u need more spr just use SPR clothes.
I think party build is 25 SPR then full end.
because u take alot of aggro and the end will protect you.

Support build is full SPR. Your choice of weapon doesn't matter. Your soloing will be bad, as you will do horrid damage, and take a lot of it.

For a very rough estimate, if you have 25spr and trade full str for full end, your damage goes down by 20% and your defense goes up by 20%.
There are a lot of factors to consider, and it depends heavily on what you fight, but in general:
END is better than STR for parties, since you aren't fighting much, you're healing.
STR is better than END for solo, because when solo your killing speed is the limiting factor. You can solo with 25spr rest end, but the str build kills about 20% faster (more if you fight red mobs).
Full END or 25 SPR rest END are both good support builds. You could add more SPR, but clerics can carry so many sp stones that you'll probably find the END more useful. Use SP empowerments on Heal, Rejuvenate, and Restore if you find yourself using too much SP in parties - these will go much farther than free stat points in SPR.

Hmm 20% more defense on 25spr rest END over 25 spr rest str,not so much for me but is the HP diference over 25 SPR,rest END over rest STR alot?

It's 5 hp per END point, so at 50 END (level 60) it's 250 hp. I took this into account when I say 20% - the combination of extra HP, extra block%, and increased defense adds up to this.

full spr in my opinion = waste.
at level 60 u will have 3000 sp but sux hp.
so what the point o0 if u still take aggro u die..

so what the point o0 if u still take aggro u die.. 3000sp=less sp pots and stones consumption.I have 3.5k sp and i'm proud of it cuz i don't have to restone as fast as other clerics and i take a sh!tfull of in aoe pts agro and guess wat?I live.So wats ur point?

normal support build is just what the sticky guide says, 25 spirit all else end. You suffer diminishing returns when you hit pass 25 spr, while end has none that.
spell points are not issue, as long as you know how to down rank heal and reduced heal cooldown, sp is not an issue.
Of course I still think full int is the best build for clerics. True cleric doesn't need free stats
