So im thinking of making a cleric for Fb/Boss runs, But Ive never made a cleric before. Could I get some tips on a build maybe? Or skills I should/shouldn't lvl?

A cleric guide or anythins will be cool too ;D

    Look in the guides for skill info, but I will stress DO NOT LEVEL BLESSING OF THE PUREHEARTED. Also, Plume Shell/Vanguard Spirit will save your **** against archer/melee mobs. Spirit's Gift is a must, and Chromatic Seal is too.

    As for build, I've only ever used a capped vit hybrid build, which works well for me. (put vit on up do a certain point- I capped at 30vit, but will have to put more on later, and then do the pure mag (+1 str, +9 mag) from then on) It works well for me, but you may decide something else suites your playing style better.
    Full power to the Vagiroscope!

    I highly suggest researching the sticky guides and studying your skill tree. And determine how you are going to be leveling your skills and stuff by old fashioned research.

    I am a full Magic Cleric. And I have died twice. Once was by auto path the other....well...just don't try to solo to many bosses. b:chuckle

    This is my alt character and i am having a blast killing mobs before they ever touch me.....b:victory

    Here you go skill wise:

    Skills to max asap:
    Plume shot
    Cyclone
    Ironheart Blessing
    Plume Shell
    Purify (Dont max it right away, but this skill will be your best friend 40+)

    Secondary skills to LeveL up
    Vanguard Spirit (Physical def buff)
    Magic Shell (Magic Def buff)
    Celestial Guardian Seal (Get it, but dont level it over other Buffs)
    Spirits Gift (Max asap)
    Metal Mastery (Get it to lvl 2 and leave it there until lvl 60)
    Wield Thunder - lvl 44 Skill (Get it, and level it to 2, leave it at lvl 2 for a while)

    Skills to NOT LeveL up
    Flight Mastery - People will LoL at you if you level this up
    Healing Spells - The only Healing skill you need to level is Ironheart BLessing, Ironheart has a Stack affect. So if you put 1 ironheart on a person, they heal for 600HP in 15 seconds, if u cast another on it right after, they heal for 1200 in 15 seconds, and it goes up and up..
    Dont level up THunderball or Sirens Kiss, neither are good enough to be leveled until you have literally nothing left to Level.
    I didnt Level up razor feathers either but that is a personal choice you will have to make.

    if you aren't going to get cash shop wings, lvl up flight mastery. it dosen't take much sp or coin.

    wellspring surge is a great heal, not as good as ironheart but lvl it as well.

    Both of what she said .

    If you are making the cleric soley for boss/fb runs, then your buffs/party buffs should be a priority.

    well and iron heart is the two best heal spells yall ever us. sometimes u probably would lvl up chromatic heal just incase of aoe attack and ur the only cleric healing everyone else other then the tanker. you should stick on lvl up ur debuffs and attack skillz and maxing out metal mystery and getting every skill when its avialable to you. best of all it depend on your gear to, expecially for a pure mage build, its all gear and and refine and gem stone on ur gear .

    I am going to borrow this thread.

    I would like to know where to put my next 10 points.I got something like 218mag.66vit.40str and 8 dex.I was think of dumping it all into magic as I got enough hp and str.

    I am just trying to decide as i get my next 5 points at my next lvl making it 10.

    since you're an arcane...

    - so it's best to keep pumping your MAG, to do more damages and increased mp recovery ^^
    - or the second choice, pull up your VIT to gain more hp, which is also vital <3

    . . .

    but, it's diff for me :/

    btw, i'm light armoured (la) cleric, ppl also call it a hybrid build, which is...

    - great, i have a mount of points for all stats MAG > VIT > DEX > STR, which balanced my hp, mp, also magical and physical attack or defense <3

    - with a decent physical def, i can solo quests and elite mobs easily ^.^

    - i feel, that i live longer... i die hard (less) while grind or etc... can support/ heal party better on fb, boss or etc... and can't be pked in 1 hit by a barb or bm :P

    - even then, as a support cleric, i aways maxed my heal, buff and rez on every lvl... so, i always usefull in party ^.^

    - but, i can't be a full attack/ heal cleric, since my MAG is low :/

    - and i need to take more time to kill a mob, compared to full attack cleric... which means i need more mp and hp to complete a kill, which also means i need more pots or drugs (apot)... which makes me poor :/

    . . .

    so yeah, pick your very own build, which you think the best...

    any build has it's advantages and disadvantages...

    plan your build as soon as possible, so you won't regret later ^.^

    Check the skill tree to see if has another skill as a requirement. Also make sure you have enough spirits and coins to purchase/lvl up the skill.

    I think the best build for clerics is stranged and magic.
    The reasons are they use a lot of magic attacks that needs magic points and "Plume shot"
    that inflicts pfisical damage that need str.points.
    The str and magic are good builds for pking.
    And you can use HP shard combined to a weapon,armor to encrease the vitality

    It would be hybrid not pure mag which the poster above you is saying

    1str.1vit 8 mag every two lvls.

    pure mag is like this

    1 or 2 str 8 or 9 mag every two lvls.

    it is fail, even though plume shot does physical damage, it is physical dmg based off ur magic attack. So adding str does nothing.
