Guide how you best skill your Cleric.

Level 1: None (Other than those already learned)

Level 2: -

Level 3: Great Cyclone Lvl 1
-Get this...it helps quite a bit, especially since it has a chance of slowing the enemy's movement speed (Unless, of course the enemy is ranged in which case you are kind of hosed =)

Level 4: -

Level 5: Plume Quill Lvl 2, Pure Heart Spell Lvl 2
-Get Plume Quill, as it's going to be one of your main offensive spells for quite a while.
-Do NOT EVER level up Pure Heart Spell. For one, it's a really slow **** heal. Secondly...the heal is never really that great. Third, you're gonna need the SP.

Level 6: Whisht Heart Spell Lvl 1
-Get this one. Much better than Pure Heart Spell and it works like a HoT (Heal over Time). For those who played MMO, this is akin to the Kahuna/Cleric's bubble.

Level 7: -

Level 8: Great Cyclone Lvl 2
-Must get. As a priest in earlier stages you're probably soloing if not duoing, but not being a complete healer just yet. The higher the level, the more chance there is to slow the enemy, and the duration that they are slowed also increases.

Level 9: Sapience Pour Lvl 1, Solid Shell Hierogram Lvl 1, Plume Barrier Lvl 1, Flying Mastery Lvl 1
-Sapience Pour is a bit better of a heal than Pure Heart Spell and it has a faster cast time. I would definitely recommend getting this and leveling it up.
-Solid shell Hierogram is your first buff. It raises Physical Defense and is a MUST for all clerics, whether you're going to be a healer or PvPer.
-Plume Barrier converts some damage and charges it to your MP. Quite useful, especially in boss battles. Be wary though...this self buff can get quite expensive. Level up only if you're rich.
-Flying mastery is a passive that allows you to fly faster. Quite useful if you're going to be flying a lot. The choice of whether or not you want it is up to you.

Level 10: Plume Quill Lvl 3, Pure Heart Spell Lvl 3
-Last time I'm going to say it. Take Plume Quill up to Lvl 10. Never touch Pure Heart Spell.

Level 11: Whisht Heart Spell Lvl 2
-You will want this spell up to level 10, so yes, go ahead and buy it.

Level 12: Solid Shell Hierogram Lvl 2
-Definitely need this. Also, level 10 of this buff unlocks the AoE physical defense buff which is extremely useful.

Level 13: Great Cyclone Lvl 3
-Also recommended that you take this one up to level 10. Extremely useful and it's also your one magical attack at the moment. (Plume quill does PHYSICAL damage)

Level 14: Flying Mastery Lvl 2, Plume Barrier Lvl 2, Sapience Pour Lvl 2
-Again, flying is your choice.
-Plume Barrier, only get if you plan on spending a lot of money/SP in the future.
-Sapience Pour, you'll want to take to level 10. Get it.

Level 15: Pure Heart Spell Lvl 4, Plume Quill Lvl 4, Solid Shell Hierogram Lvl 3
-Hmm...New format I guess. For older skills, I'll put a stated target level and for new ones a bit of an explanation. So for this level...
-Pure Heart Spell: Never Level
-Plume Quill: Lvl 10 (Target)
-Solid Shell Hierogram: Lvl 10 (Target)

Level 16: Spirit Gather Hierogram Lvl 1, Thunder Sphere Lvl 1, Whisht Heart Spell Lvl 3
-Spirit Gather is a MDef buff and your second buff. Definitely get. Your MDef lacking companions will definitely appreciate it. Target level is 10.
-Thunder Sphere is your third attack spell. This one does Metal damage over time (DoT). Recommended Target level is 10. Note: I personally like to use this because of the extra damage, however at higher levels it is not used very often. It is particularly useful in PvP though. All of this is a matter of preference but it also helps when fighting a boss because you can cast that DoT then go back to healing. (Every little bit counts ;) )
-Whisht Heart Spell: Lvl 10 (Target)

Level 17: -

Level 18: Great Cyclone Lvl 4, Solid Shell Hierogram Lvl 4
-Great Cyclone: Lvl 10 (Target)
-Solid Shell Hierogram: Lvl 10 (Target)

Level 19: Plume Barrier Lvl 3, Flying Mastery Lvl 3, Five Element Heirogram Lvl 1, SPirit Gather Hierogram Lvl 2, Sapience Pour Lvl 3, Resurrection Lvl 1
-Plume Barrier: Level if you think you have the money/SP to afford.
-Flying Mastery: Your choice.
-Five Element Hierogram: Not recommended to get until much later, if at all. This is basically a PvP element de-buff. You will be cramped for SP in the long run if you get this.(As well as money) Note though, that this is awesome in PvP against physical attack type players.
-Spirit Gather Hierogram: Lvl 10 (Target)
-Sapience Pour: Lvl 10 (Target)
-Resurrection: Resurrection is definitely handy to have. Not only does it raise the dead but also restores a bit of Exp. The higher it's level, the more Exp it restores. Your friends will love you for this (Unless it was your lack of heals that killed them =P )

Level 20: Plume Quill Lvl 4, Pure Heart Spell Lvl 5
-Plume Quill: Lvl 10%2

    It is nice you want to help people by copying a guide from the my forums, but maybe it would fit better in the cleric forums. Changing the skill names could also be handy.

    Besides all that it is nice for beginning clerics though. we all know sp is a bottleneck for them, so skill selection is quite important.

    I was so just gonna say all that. xD
    Except the copying from the MY forums. I didn't know that as I haven't gone there. That was pretty low. D: But good for new clerics non the less. And yea, this should probably go in the Cleric forum. :3
