cleric lv 56

vit 14 mag 248 str 34 dex 7

current skills:

great cyclone lv10
plume shot lv 10
thunderball lv5 - don't bother with this skill, it's mostly useless
razer feather lv2 - if you find yourselve aoe grinding it's useful, otherwise not
wield thunder lv1 - you best non chi attack, max this skill

plume shell lv10
ironheart blessing lv10
bless of pureheart lv9 - cheap, but this skill is relative useless due to it's channeling time
wellspring lv6 - your second most used heal, max this
vanguard spirit lv10
magic shell lv7 - not as important as vanguard which you ahve maxed, but levelign this will help and barbs will love you for it on magic mobs and bosses
celestrial guardians seal lv5 - not a priority, though helpful in it's own way, level if you ahve spare coin.
purify lv6 - I suggest getting to this to 7 for now, by 80 you should have it maxed
spirits gift lv6 - an extremely helpful buff, max t as soon as you can
greater protective aura

as for the other auras, they aren't necessary but are relatively nice effects th whole party and lasts longer

elemental seal lv1 leveling this can help at bosses and killing mobs making it go a bit faster if you have some arcanes in your squad, not mandatory however and can be leveled latersirens kiss lv1 - it is aoe, but never really used, only level for now if you intend to aoe grind
spark burst - always get spark skilsl when available
as for others, dimensional seal is always nice, doesn't help you too much, but makes bosses die faster, don't use if the barb is using devour however.

revive - doesn't help you much, but others will love you if you level it your choice really on it

Metal Mastery - increases the damage of you skills, level when youhave the coin for it.

Chromatic Healing Beam - not needed now, but at least leavel it a bit before your fb69. As the final two bosses there will aoe. usefull to max by around 80-85

at 59 you will gain access to a few more skills.

Regeneration Aura (aka BB) - a one off, and a must to learn, learn it immediately after your fb59

Heaven's Wrath (aka RB) not as used nowadays does to the aps craze, it has it's uses however.

Stream of Rejuvenation - the most powerful heal a cleric can learn, but usually IH and wellspring suffices. level if you have spare coin

Tempest - not really needed to elvel early unless you aoe grind, at least get it to 1 however, as it will hit harder then any other spell you have

silent seal - useful in pvp mainly for the most part, but has it's uses in pve, if you aggro more then one mob

chromatic seal - same as silent seal


What else should I learn and what levels should I acquire?

that should be enough to go by for now

uhm btw, is there anything wrong with my current build? I mean especialy my str and vit... coz I got killed easily by phy mobs sometime and I just want to make sure nothing's wrong with my points attribute..

Don't add anymore dex, 7 is too much as it is.

Get to 54 str and stop.

Rest should be put into magic.

And I have another q: in my case, should I use phy res belt and necklass and hp hat? instead of mag res belt and necklass and mp hat?
how abt the rings? should I use phy atk rings instead of mag atk rings?

By this level, you dont really need magic belts/necks, since the resistance you already have from your AA is more than enough. However, you do need physical res, and that is precisely why physical mobs hit you so hard. Usually, your armor stats depend on what you need: are you low on hp or physical def? Many people like to keep it a balance (+hp shards for AA and physical def for ornaments? Well, something along those lines...), unless you refine it past +5~, then you have to balance out your physical def. However, at this level, dont be too concerned about refining, since you wont be using the same armor for the next 10-20lvls(aka LONG TIME) like you would later on
So remember one thing: hp is good, its CRUCIAL, but if you dont manage your physical resistance phys mobs will rip you into shreds b:surrender

(I also hope that the above clears up your confusion about whether or not to add vit)

As for the rings, lets be logical: you dont HAVE physical attacks and you dont NEED them. Plume Shot, although physical, depends its effectiveness on your magic attack. Therefore, why would you need a might ring? b:bye

And the Hats: mp hats, shard with phys def/hp shards. Same as above, why bother, you cant even wear a proper hp hat.


If you have more questions ask away, we're bored, that's part of the reason why we're on the forums in the first place b:shutup

Well, I wanted to profit from this thread and ask the question the OP will ask himself in some levels : which skills shouldn't we level ever ? At my level, I have many skills already maxed and then ask myself which ones shall be left aside for ever.
My ideas what :
- Blessing of Purehearted
- Silent Seal
- Thunderball
-Siren's Kiss

Also, unsure about which level of Elemental and Dimensional Seal is useful to have?
And what about Metal Mastery? Is it worth the coins you invest?

Thank you in advance for your reply )

Every seal a cleric has is useful in different circumstances.

Elemental seal is great when debuffing bosses or targets for yourself or other casters. Duh.

Dimensional seal is great for the same reason, but for people who inflict normal physical damage. I tend not to use this if there's a veno or barb in the squad allowing them to use devour, ironwood, myriad.

Silent seal is quite useful for preventing damaging mobs/players from reaching you. Can't tell you how many times I've SS'd mobs coming at my cleric or BM's who anti-stunned from my cleric after running away and waiting for it to wear off.

Chromatic, extremely useful in PVP and PVE alike, especially the demon version.

Why not just wait until you find it could be useful?

so as to the vit...should I add a little bit more?b:shutup Coz they say Im squishy...

Well, if you want my honest opinion, I would say no. If you are having troubles with physical mobs try kiting or applying 1-2 IH just before you get hit. If its at a boss, well, generally speaking at your level no boss should one-two shot you with AoE. If you take aggro...well, 95% chance that the hp points from your vit are NOT going to save you.

Remember: 1vit = 10hp. Personally, my build is 8mag 1str 1vit every 2 levels. By level 100 I would hit 50, but I hope I could restat back to 3vit and put the rest into mag.

There are many debates going about as to "how much vit is a max-min for a cleric". I know many end-game clerics that either pump their vit to 50~ or put it to 3. However, in the end, 80-90% of your hp comes from Armor

To summarize, I do not find vit really worth it. It adds up, yes, but later on it brings little to no benefit. If you are called "squishy" all the time, well thats how all magical classes are made to be in the first place. At your level, I suggest practicing more careful play (once again kiting, using IH, managing heal aggro)

Later on in the game you wont be as squishy, since you will be admitted to better armor and be able to invest in sharding yourself properly.




I know that at this point you will find it VERY VERY tempting to ignore everything and pump vit, but you WILL regret it later on. I would say the max should be 50. b:bye

So from now on I should use hp shards on my gears instead of mp shards?

Yes, exactly. Your shards should be either physical/hp, except for the +mag attack for your weapon.

However, for now, Id say dont go around purposely investing in sharding unless you know for sure that equipment will last you a while, and that you can actually sell it later on to get your money back.

If you find/are given phys/hp shards, by all means, go ahead use them! But once again, do not forget your phys def.
