    Ironheart blessing, buffs, revive,,.

    If you squad a lot (and you should at lvl 45), those are the most wanted skills for a cleric to max..

    you might also give a shot to plume shell... it's very good in tight situations...

    Hey,

    The skills you're gonna want to level are pretty easy to pick out.

    Attacks:

    Plume Shot

    Weild Thunder

    Great Cyclone

    Those are the attacks I mainly use.

    Support:

    Revive

    Vanguard Spirit

    Magic Shell

    Celestial Guardians Seal

    Spirit's Gift

    Purify

    Get those as high as you can after you level your...

    Heals:

    Ironheart Blessing <- YOUR MOST IMPORTANT SKILL

    Wellspring Surge

    Others:

    Plume Shell

    Sorry for the spaces and wall of text, wasn't sure how to write this.
    Hope it helped!

    whats the difference between wellspring surge and bless of pureheart? I've been lv up the bless of pureheart and using it instead of wellspring surge... Is that a good choice?

    wellspring surge casts much faster and uses less mana.

    it also heals a lot less than blessing of the purehearted, but who cares? they both heal far less than ironheart, which is the heal you should be mainly relying on.

    Fuzzy is going to shuffle this thread over to the Cleric sub-forum. OP is asking some beginner questions, but the panda is pretty sure the cleric community in general may be able to give more detailed answers. b:thanks

    Since it's in the cleric forum now, I'll direct you to a sticky we have at the top of the thread listing. It's not very current at all, but still provides useful information as to what skills should be prioritized and what they do.

    Cheers!b:victory

    Though I went with the IH, buff, revive priority; I see nothing wrong with a Cleric being primarily a caster DD. You wont be in big demand, but it wouldn't be a bad way to play.

    Blessing of the purehearted is one of the skills you can skip leveling. Ironheart is your main heal and the skill you use 90% of the time. It is a heal over time (HoT) that heals a large amount for relatively low mana, healing a bit every 3 seconds for 15 seconds total. If you use it multiple times the heals stack.

    People have covered it but I'll reiterate.

    Heals you need:
    Ironheart (always keep at maxed level)
    Wellspring surge
    Revive (always keep at maxed level)

    Your four buffs are:
    Vanguard Spirit (phys defense buff)
    Magic Shell (magic defense buff)
    Celestion Guardian Seal (increases regen rate. Helps recover your hp/mp)
    Spirits Gift (increase your magic dmg and heal amount)

    Have a couple levels of Purify and Plume Shell but not important to max until level 70 if you are short on spirit. The same with Dimensional and Elemental Seal (debuffs mobs) and Silent Seal (freezes mobs in place) you'll want to get a few levels on but not maxed. Get a couple levels of Chromatic Heal Beam (squad heal).

    Things like Greater Protective Aura and Aegis Heal are hour version of your level 10 buff, and can buff a squad. They're nice but not required.

    Regeneration Aura is also called bb. Its a continuous aoe heal that also reduces damage recieved by half. Its required. I'd say Heaven's Wrath is too, but not quite as important.

    Attacks:
    Plume Shot
    Cyclone Heal (alternate spam with plume shot)
    Seven 100+ characters leveled the hard way. Free to play. Mystic, Psychic, and Wizard left to level. b:victory

    As many have said above

    From attack skills: plume shot and great cyclone. (If you are planning to start do aoe grinding start putting points in razor feathers and siren's kiss.)

    All Buffs (Vanguard Spirit,Magic Shell,Guardia Seal and Spirit's Gift)

    Heals: Ironheart blessing is must others you don't really need before you got free spirit to put. Wellspring is good at some situations but not necessary. Chromatic heal is also handy at some situations but not so often needed.

    Other skills: Revive lvl1 is enough untill you get free spirit and coins (Yea I may be selfish cleric but lvl1 revive decrease revive request quite nice way and the skill doesnt benefit you). Purify is needed in bh51 and at aoe grinding. Debuffs you can learn when you get free spirit and coins, Freeze and sleep are handy when soloing BHs and in PK.

    She'd be doing like a single qingzi run a day, probably soloed by some high level since bh29 squads are kind of rare, at least in dreamweaver. I would go with IH, Buffs, wellspring personally. Since you haven't been leveling it and it's an important heal, i'd rather have a good wellspring keep me from death than a rez any day. Also, stop leveling Blessings of the Purehearted. Also if you don't have purify, get it is also pretty important. Don't listen to people saying you must have rez maxed right away, no one really expects a cleric to have level 10 revive until you start hitting bh59/69 which you get in your 70/80s. So long as your gradually getting to it so you can have it maxed at around that level, don't worry about it as much.
