Cleric Debuffs/Healing Levels

Hi everyone, I was looking for some advice, primarily from the higher level clerics about debuffs and healing blessings.

For one thing I was thinking about upgrading my debuffs (elemental and physical) to about level 5; I figure because it really doesn't make much of a big difference and that they will be used only for the bosses. So my first question would be if upgrading my debuffs is worth it and what would be a good level to upgrade them as? Their current level is 1.

Another thing I would like to ask about are the healing spells. Currently my Purehearted is at lvl 8, my Stream is at 2, my Ironheart is at 10, Wellspring 5, Soon 1, and I also have the Blue Bubble. I think for the most part my healing spells are pretty good though I would like to upgrade my Soon to about lvl 3 and maybe Stream one more level. Though should I keep these levels the way they are oor should I upgrade some more?

I would also like to make a note that I'm a hybrid cleric not support.

Thanks ^^

    In my opinion I wouldn't have taken pureheart up that high, I left mine at 1. I've found that wellspring at lvl ten is more useful, it casts faster and heals for well over 1200 a shot right now. Stream I have at 1 and I wont lvl that any more, Soon is at 5 and is great for aoe bosses. I spam IH and cover damage spikes and what IH doesn't get with wellsrping.

    I have my debuffs all to lvl 6 right now, but I run TT's a lot so I rely on them more that a grinding cleric.

    Purehearted --> keep there, never really gets used due to casting time

    Wellspring --> get to 10

    Debuffs --> start leveling them and try to get them up by level 70-75

    Soon the Light --> yes and no....maybe keep at level 2-3 for now

    Stream of Rejuvenation --> yes and no....maybe keep at 2-3 for now

    ** Because you are not full support you may not need to deal with the Soon the Light and Stream of Rejuvenation

    "Soon, the Light" is called "Chromatic Healing Beam" in PWI. Its the AOE heal.

    Yeah I already knew that Soon the Light is the same as Chromatic Healing Beam, personally I prefer not to use the localization because I got it before the name changed. XD

    First and foremost, forget about blessing of the purehearted. Huuuge casting time, and the amount healed isnt THAT great. You can pull it off in rare cases instead of stream of rejuv or something, but I really wouldn't bother. I really, really suggest you forget you even have this heal. Use wellspring instead.
    Dont bother upping soon the light. In the rare cases you actually get to use it, lvl 1 is more than enough (fb39 and 69 spring to mind), otherwise when aoe healing is required you'll have bb up anyway.
    Get wellspring to 10. It's a very cheap heal well worth maxing. Perfect as a first heal when a DD gets aggro.
    My stream is at 5 atm, very potent heal, but I find myself rarely using it; usually when a tank is hit by a magic attack from the boss, or if they're forced to deal with adds while already tanking something. Good in a pinch, but don't rush to level it - mana/coin/sp expensive.

    As for debuffs, personally I waited till my mid 70s to even get them, and maxed the first two for TW and boss fights. Forget about them during normal grinding.
    Paralize/sleep are excellent, but lvl1 is more than enough at your level for the odd pvp fight you may have.

    P.S. Don't bother with the hybrid/support tags. It's ****. You better be able to do what the situation requires you to. If the tank is 10 levels higher than necessary, of course you're gonna debuff and throw an attack or two inbetween ironhearts spam. If the tank is struggling for his life, you're gonna have your ironheart button pressed till either the boss or the tank is dead, not stop to attack because you're 'hybrid'.

    Blessing of the Purehearted = keep it at level 1. Isn't worth the upgrade at all because of the slow casting and no stacking or heal over time.
    Level Ironheart as soon as you can.
