Hi Clerics ^^,

Where to start..I have been writing a Rebirth Beta guide for some time now. First I would like to point out I am a retired healer however I do not fully understand what the healer responsibilities may be inside Rebirth. This information was written from scratch based from my Archer perspective only.

That is why I would like helpful, positive feedback and general Cleric community approval on what I have written about your class responsibilities, required and helpful skills to max, general rebirth tips and required or helpful genie skills.

Gear is not something I am including in the guide right now. That discussion I hope remains closed.

Please add anything intelligent or anything you feel is helpful or correct information I have written that may be wrong.

Please refrain from referencing RB level specific situations outside of Beta. For example: "You need 3k hp unbuffed for Gamma, you should shard with HP". That is irrelevant here. This information pertains to Gamma and gear is not being discussed.

Another example: You need ( Insert xxx ) to kill ( Insert boss or mob name ), unless it is beta specific please stick to general information which can be applied to beta and above, like skills, genie advice or strategic information..

Your help improving this information is greatly appreciated. Thank you to all polite and helpful responses in advance.



Clerics:


- Your main responsibility is too buff the squad; keep Regeneration Aura up at all costs and to purify the Barbarian or other squad members when necessary.

- Never go AFK or take your eyes off the screen. This is something many healers do in T.T, dungeons and all places which you think it is safe or acceptable to go AFK because your job is done or boring. Your job is not done and it is never acceptable to go AFK when mobs are close or when your party is not aware you are gone. Your job is to survive and keep your squad alive by ensuring Regeneration Aura is launched as soon as possible in the event it gets interrupted or it fails for some other reason.

- It is a good idea to bring a few Golden Jade powders ( Instantly gain one Spark ) in case Regeneration Aura gets deactivated. Later in the Rebirth instance, the Chi Aura is activated and chi is not really a problem because it fills without any action on your part. You must survive to that point first. Until then, your Regeneration Aura can fail from mob hits or it can be stopped by Gods Eye and if it does you will not have any chi to get it working again and it is likely your squad members will die. You cannot slack off or take it easy; it demands your full attention.

Cleric skills that must be maxed at the level you attempt Beta:


Ironheart Blessing: Recovers a fixed amount of Hp depending on the skill level and additional HP based on your base magic attack

- Level 10 is max at level 51

- Greater Protective Aura: Grant all squad members within 15 meters bonus 60% to equipment's physical defense for 1 hour.

- Level 1 is max at level 39 after Vanguard Spirit level 10 at level 36

- Aegis Spirit: Grant squad members within a 15 meter radius a 60% bonus to equipment's magic defense for 1 hour.

- Level 1 is max at level 46 after Magic Shell level 10 at level 43

- Exalted Renewal: Increase the health and mana regeneration rate of all squad members
within a 15 meter radius by 10 points per second for 1 hour.

- Level 1 is max at level 46 after Magic Shell level 10 at level 53 after Celestial Guardian's Seal level 10 at level 50

- Arcane Empowerment: Grant all squad members within a 15 meter radius Arcane Power, increasing their any weapon magic attack bonuses by 70% for one hour.

- Level 1 is max at level 59 after Spirit's Gift level 10 at level 56


Regeneration Aura: Focus your empathetic energy to heal squad members within 15 meters of you. Use 500 mana every 5 seconds to recover HP equal to 300 plus 20% of base magic attack every 5 seconds and cut all damage taken by 50%

- Level 1 is max at level 59

Not required but helpful skills to have maxed:


Purify: To remove all debuffs from the barb or other squad members

- Level 9 is the max at level 69
- Level 8 is the max at level 64
- Level 7 is the max at level 59

Useful Genie Skills:


- Tree of Protection ( Affinity: Wood 3 - Water 4 ): At level 10 Increases max HP by 30% for 5 seconds. Restores 20% of your max HP every 3 seconds for 6 seconds.

-Helpful emergency healing skill in case pots or Multiflavor Jiaozi are in cool down and increases your survivability in general. It should be used a second or two before you actually need healing, the healing effect is not instant.


- Second Wind ( Affinity: Wood 1 - Earth 1 - Water 1 ): Can serve as a replacement for Tree Of Protection. At level 10, instantly heals you, for 810 HP, every Genie Strength point increases the healing by 2%.


Other Recommendations


- It is highly recommended to wear an HP charm to help keep you alive and cut back on HP Jiaozi spam.
- It is recommended but not required that you wear an MP charm to also reduce Yuanxiao spam. The MP aura should fill your MP faster than Regeneraton Aura can use it.
- Bring about 50 Multiflavor Jiaozi ( HP )and 50 Yuanxiao ( MP ) to fill HP or MP.
- It is a good idea to bring a few Golden Jade powders ( Instantly gain one Spark ) in the event your Regeneration Aura is interrupted or you have insufficient chi to launch it again.

    Hmm alright. The wording says it's a recommendation, but not a requirement.

    Thank you for your feedback.

    Before I attempted Rebirth Beta, I read each and every one of those. I don't intend to re-visit them however. I want to make sure my guide is written using my own words only and from the perspective of users in the community who have done it as well. I appreciate the links thank you.
