Tips on squad healing?

yup kyyranthox hit the nail on the head.
Wellspring is very useful because it heals a good chunk of HP almost instantly, which is great for fail DDs who start aggro ping pong.
Stream of Rejuvenation also is very good for healing a big chunk of the barb's HP during a boss fight. It's like 4 IHs in one.
Oh, gettin Holy Path on your genie is also good, in case you die and have to go to town, then walk all the way back through the instance. Clerics are soooo slooowwww....but Holy Path is not really required or necessary...it can be good if a mob sets its sights on you as well...
Chromatic Heal is good as well, especially in those levels before BB (Rejuvenation Aura) and you have to deal with AOE, or just in a fail squad when everyone decides to grab their own mob instead of letting the barb aggro all (just had one of those yesterday =.=;).
Also: BEWARE of people who say "heal me" and then rush off. The situation varies, but it's usually not a good idea to heal them for two reasons:
1. You will most likely get heal aggro.
2. They will die anyways, especially if it's some kamikaze wiz/sin/psy.
Okay, I think that's all the knowledge I have for now...
Oh, for MP management, leveling your apothecary skill to like 2 is good so you can make MP food, or if you have a bit of money laying around, you can get MP charms (I do not recommend an HP charm for a cleric though).
As for your build...it seems good, but later (around level70) you will need to have your HP around 2k and have higher physical defense (around the same number). So the light vit is good for that. Maybe cap it around 30-60, whichever you're comfortable with.
Okay, I think that's really all >__<

all of the above, +1. b:pleased

some might disagree with me about this, but don't be afraid to DD in instances. with caution in the early bh's of course, but as you lvl and other people get better at their classes, it gets much easier.

having a nice purify by the time you get bh51 will make life more tolerable. and on that note...if you're unfamiliar with stuff that some bosses do, like debuffs, DOTs, etc, ask around. i think that's one of the most important qualities of a good cleric. b:thanks

learn to use all heals, and also about aggro (link in siggy) so .f.e. u will use slow AoE heal when u really have to , not in 'omg what is going on here' situations, like many confused clers do.. b:chuckle


Idlee FburDrops chat room on DW, for fbs and expernience, tho too many high levels sit there now b:avoid

Really, the best advice i can give is, not everyone can be saved. There have been squads ive been in where say: Im healing a tank and things are going well, then a sin or something decides to run way the hell away from me (like a good 20 seconds of running to get in range)and try to kill their own mobs. I just let them die(they do tend to yell..even though they dont realize that.. its better to keep the tank alive and let some stupid DD die than to try and save the dd and risk the tank getting offed and having the party wiped.

That being said! lol Max every buff you have, the aoes are great aside from the magic attack one. I mean if you have spare spirit sure but i just pass those out to the mage dd. Maxed wellspring and ih and some points into stream of rejuvenation. Stream is useful for say, you were healing a dd or the secondary tank and you didnt notice another mob latch onto the tank and down his hp. The instant life recovery from stream and its added heal over time really help in situations like that. I use it to correct things if ive been careless or distracted all the timeb:chuckle

OH and it might sound redundent but second wind rocks. If you have a mob on you or youve taken some damage, but the tank just NEEDS that stream of rejuvi, but your about to die yourself, streal him , wind then ih yourself if the barb hasnt saved you

This is a truly great FAQ! i've had a difficult squadding session (due to lack of communication with the other cleric) and was feeling down and out about it, so this really helped me alot! ty for all the effort you and everyone else put into it! b:victory

To me, I use Wellspring Surge when the HP bar of 1 of my squad members goes down 1/3 (because they are losing quite a lot HP, they need to be healed instantly). Then I cast Ironheart Blessing on him/her if they are still being attacked. Repeat the use of Wellspring Surge if Ironheart does not take effect yet. (Make sure they'd already hit the mobs before you healed)

If too many squad members, say 4 are being hit quite hard at the same time, and all are close together, if you have 2 sparks, set BB for safety b:cute (I did't pay attention to your lvl, so if you're under 59 - the required lvl to get BB, then you can take this as a preparation b:pleased)

If a barb is tanking boss, and your Ironheart Blessing can't satisfy his tremendous amount of HP needed to be healed, use Stream of Rejuvenation (or Blessing of Purehearted if you're low lvl) then stack a few Ironheart Blessings on him, repeat Stream of Reju./ Blessing Purehearted if needed b:victory

If you're attacked by boss/ mobs and you cannot stand against them, use Plume Shell and run till someone else in squad kills them. Try not to die at all in a run, it's safer for everyone else in squad b:chuckle

The worst deal for cleric is we have to run all the way back and revive everyone if squad wiped b:sad

Using Purehearted to heal a barb tanking a boss lol. It would be better to use Wellspring and then stack IH.

Edit: Wierd it updated my clerics lvl but not my barbs...

I wish you had read my words carefully... Didn't you see the words "If you're low lvl" goes after Blessing of Purehearted????? When IH does not take effect yet, you gotta use either Stream of Reju./ Blessing Purehearted if your Wellspring is too weak.

And I did say "If a barb is tanking boss, and your Ironheart Blessing can't satisfy his tremendous amount of HP needed to be healed, use Stream of Rejuvenation" Please read carefully next time.

Maybe she did not happen to notice the date.....just as you did not notice her post count. If you had, you would realize how ignorant your comment was. Look at her forum join date and her number of posts, and one can reasonable speculate that she may not be all that familiar with forum etiquette or has developed the habit that regular forum surfers have of always checking the thread/post date.

Since you quote me, i'll reply to you .
1-To make a 1.5 years, you need to use "search button" which was familiar enough to make them find this thread .
2-Using common sense helps alot and has nothing to do with post count/the date you decide to finally edit you avatar

Maybe try being helpful by pointing out her faux pas instead of trolling. At the very least you would look less of a fool.

I'll be helpful to both of you . Learn2read and see who is trolling and a fool

b:bye

OMG I just don't know that you really don't get me or what... In some cases, like i said "ironheart CANNOT satisfy the barb enough" and you really need to use blessing purehearted OR stream of reju. *been there done that* (I never said to use Stream Reju/ Blessing Purehearted everytime, just sometimes throw in 1-2 of them to make the barb's hp full, so don't get it wrong.)

Wellspring is fine, but it only heals a small amount of HP compared to Stream of Reju/ Blessing Purehearted. Of course Blessing Purehearted/ Stream Reju. takes longer time to channel, but it heals MUCH more.

I'm not arguing about SoR just Purehearted because SoR is useful unlike Purehearted. IH heals more over time than Purehearted does at all levels if you want a instant heal it would be better to use Wellspring or SoR... And I wonder why the stickied guide says don't level Purehearted past 1... And if you can't keep a barbs HP up with IH then there must be something wrong...
