Hello my cleric is currently lvl59 and i find myself quite short on money so i made a list with skills but i'm not sure which one to level first so i want some advice

Razor Feathers - is it worth it leveling it or should i just keep using plume shot
Chromatic Healing Beam - casts kinda slow should i leave it for higher levels or not level it at all? Maybe use - channeling someday?
Stream of Rejuvenation - it looks like upgraded ironheart but i don't know how much mana it costs whats the cast and recharge time (haven't bought lvl 1)
Wield Thunder - have lvl2 of it. Currently it costs double my starting skills and makes about the same damage. Does it get better at higher lvl?
Tempest - my bf was furious when i said i leveled some buffs instead of this skill. Should i get it now? b:shocked

    Razor feathers - You don't need it until you start grinding, or are desperate to 1 hit robed users.
    Chromatic Healing Beam - Leave it at level 1.
    Steam of Rejuvenation - It's good, but the cost is hectic. Leave it at level 1 until you can spare sp for it.
    Wield Thunder - Leveling slowly wont hurt, not a #1 priority.
    Tempest - You don't need to pump sp into this skill because someone said you have to. Leveling it early puts all your skills in vain due to minimal sp.

    I disagree with Wield Thunder. It's one of your main grinding skills mid-late game, and should take higher priority over the others. It's a grinding game, majority of typical players' time is spent on grinding, which makes grinding skills useful.

    Tempest is the cleric nuke skill that lets Cleric one shot all classes except Barb in pvp, and surpass Wizard in damage until Wizards get Manifest Virtue at lvl 100. It uses 2 sparks, so use in pve is limited. Your bf says to get it because it's one of the most powerful skills in the entire game, which is not the same as the most useful. Hold it off until higher lvl.

    Razor feathers is the skill that lets clerics solo aoe grind. You'll mostly likely want this to grind faster at higher lvls, but for now, it doesn't have much use.

    Hold off on the healing skills for now. As long as you have ironheart and wellspring, you're good.

    I love all those skills you mentioned. But your playing style should dictate which are the most important for you.

    Razor Feathers - Doesn't take much to level to 10, helps tons when you have 2 mobs that are right next to each other.

    Chromatic Healing Beam - As you level it, the area gets larger. Helps a lot with AOE mobs, expecially if you're the 2nd cleric.

    Stream - I level it and use it as a catch up heal. When you're debuffing, you're not spamming heal, tanks health goes down, so throw a stream, then start spamming again.

    Wield Thunder - I think it's the best grinding skill clerics have.

    Temptest, I'd put at the bottom of the list, but I love that skill as well lol.

    But.. this is just based on my play style

    Wield Thunder is great for vit builds and LA, pure mag waste mana on this skill. Pure mag has a large base magic attack, the other make up for that difference by using a skill with a large bonus attached to it as their opener when casting time has no real effect in PvE. They lose the slowdown as well that pure mag gets.

    Tempest I kept maxed because I had fun with it. 1 hitting was kinda fun too, but once I started AoE'ing and PvP in dragon temple I was very glad it had preference.

    Yes, I agree about Wield Thunder.

    I am an almost pure MAG build Cleric, and I do a lot more damage by casting a Great Cyclone-Plume Shot combo than by casting just Wield Thunder. Both options take about the same amount of time to channel and cast, and casting two spells saves me mana!

    Still, Wield Thunder is great for increased defense mobs, since you have to wait for Cyclone to cool down and Plume Shot is just wasted mana.
