    Clicky

    There are lots of builds. Some of the most common are the pure Mag build (enough strength for armor and weapons, everything else in mag), the sturdier Arcane build with a point of Vit about every level, the Light Armor build (enough dex and strength to wear light armor)... they're all about your own preference. Run a search of the forums; there have been a lot of guides and discussions on this very subject.

    A build I picked up somewhere on this forum was this one:

    MAG: 6 VIT: 3 STR: 1

    As you can see that works out to 10 attribute points.....so every 2 lvl's you use this formula to be a hybrid healer.

    An example: at lvl 50 you should be MAG: 150 VIT: 75 STR: 25

    Its the build I use and its worked OK till I hit lvl 72 and had some STR issues with Arcane armor.

    LOL, that can be fun, but some want to be a cleric to help others.

    I took a lot of info from the FAC guide and created my own balanced build. At level 83, I happily solo FB's 19, 29, 39, 59. 51 there is just too much phys going on and haven't tried it in a while. I re-rolled my attribs a couple of times building the character, but with Vit 3, and Dex 5, I can still have a critrate of 6% and 2500hp unbuffed without any issues. Phys def is at about 1600 and all mag defs are 8700-9100, and again, that is unbuffed. the power and defense of a mage/cleric is based in the MAG, putting points elsewhere in kinda useless.

    I mean you really don't see any lvl 75 LA clerics able to solo Mantavip. They can't DD and are losing out on the mag def needed. For a cleric, your Damage is based on your magic. Your heals are based on your damage. Your Def is based on your MAG. It's kinda a no-brainer that pure MAG is really the only way to rule.

    Oh, and personal plug here b:laugh linkie to my own award-winning, (have the bulbfishie to prove it b:pleased), cleric guide. Even at level 83, this is still a work in progress. http://pwi-wiki.perfectworld.com/index.php/The_IceDrakes_Full_Cleric_Guide

    I like how people tell the builds.

    It is all up to personal preference.

    Personally I like the LA cleric build because of its versatility in PvE and PvP.

    Others laugh at me saying I have a terrible build... then I kill them... so it all works out.

    if your looking for builds decide how you want to play your class and find the build that will support that the best.

    Most will tell you hybrid but pure is superior if you can support it.

    Well i love my build personly. i have Str just for my Wep no Dex 123 Vit and the rest in Mag. I can tank TT Bosses and just about ne Non Phy WBs (Not the Dumb ones that take 30 people to kill) Plus its a great build to b a AOE cleric. (Killing like 15-25 Poison Mobs at 1 time) The Vit has helped me alot. i might not do a Crapload of damage, but when someone needs a tank i can say "Sure ill help" Give it a shot^^b:victory

    For me personaly I think that the vit. arcane build is better.
    Use magic points each time to aquire the latest weapon or armor
    This means put 5 magic each lvl and if you see you have enough magic
    go for vitility you'll be more stable then a full magic build that die all the time
    And I think that 52 str was enough for armors
