Do clerics still have mana problems?

You still need hieros to perform ok everywhere?

What is the best healing/supporting class now? Never been around with new classes

    You can make herb yuanxiaos (regain 5000 MP over the same time as an ordinary blue potion) from tokens (usually sell around 10-12k depending on supply from boutique packs, make 50 herbs with 3 tokens) which are sufficient to keep BB up.

    Clerics are still the best healers, but mystics give them some competition.

    Clerics are still the best healers and I think they always will be. But who knows how it will be when mystics are able to get their new healing skills.

    And like Mayfly said herb yuanxiaos will do. You can use them at level 75 and are cheap to buy

    I stopped using MP charms and went to the Herbs as soon as I hit 75. The charms are more expensive and very wasteful considering how soon they trigger vs using the herbs only when you need them.

    Lowbie Clerics, use Life Poultice of Death from Divine Emissaries. Just one Divine Honor can net you 300 of them, and they heal 1k MP with normal pot cooldown. Not enough to last till 75 if you're a quest completionist like me(unless you make more), but they help a lot.

    Having done a couple spawn point GVs now, I can say with certainty that MP charms and herb yuanxiao cost almost exactly the same (if you take into the seasonal variance of tokens and charm sales). On the plus side, you don't need to worry about your MP quite so much if you're the average cleric if you have a charm. (As for the "waste" argument, I usually see clerics pop their pots well before they're needed thereby often using the equivalent amount of MP recovery as I consume from my charm in a much more rapid fashion.)

    That said, I soloed a few physical bosses this morning. My MP charm couldn't consistently keep up with my Plume Shell's mana drain (combined with my other skills, of course). Yuanxiao wouldn't be able to keep up with that and would have gotten me killed more than the once I failed (due to not noticing just how much MP I was consuming and supplementing with apothecary items).

    But, I think in the end, I managed to answer the original query here, didn't I? b:surrender

    I don't use charm unless I pvp. The 5k mp pot is enough to use all my demon skill. It does cost a lot.

    There are still places were I can use no pot at all. Whit sinnow, I rarely use more then 1 mp pot on a boss.
