Support Cleric Guide

The Full Support Cleric

Take it, when you love to heal and buff people, there won't be many problems with finding a party, since at higher levels healers are needed and you can forget about AOE (Area Of Effect - killing few/many mobs at the same time). In guild wars, you will be the first target, because your party mates just won't die if you know what you're doing.


Stats :

* Full WIS - the best option if you want to be ONLY support. You should add WIS, since you really need MP and all other bonuses you get from raising WIS - so add each point into this stat and just prayfor a party.

* Full VIT - This is useful at higher levels, since you will have a LOT hp and huge P DEF, and you can take a lot damage (and heal yourself) before you finally die - of course till you won't run out of MP pots. With a full VIT Cleric you can be a tanker also, because mobs just love to attack the healers, so with a lot of HP and constant healing yourself you can't die, but you will waste a lot money on MP pots.

* WIS/VIT - A kind of hybrid, add point in ratio 3:1 or even 4:1, that means 1 point into VIT every 3/4 levels and rest put into WIS. Here you will have a very good amount of MP and its regeneration and a fairly good HP number and don't forget about more P DEF.


Skills :

Since you want to focus on healing not killing you really don't need any attack type skills, but this is true only in case you will get a party from the start - and this is a huge problem. So you really need to invest some points into damage dealing spells.


Level 1-20

Holy Strike [+1 / +5; depends] - Maximum level is 5, but you really don't need to raise it till this point, sooner you will find a party, that will help you in farming - so level up it till you need it.

Heal [+1] - Add only 1 point into this - this will be your only healing spell till you reach level 20. Keep the sp for Fast Heal which you will get when you change into Cleric.

Wisdom [+1] - Increase the WIS of the target by 10 points. Your first buff, it's very helpful since it increases the stat that you need at most.

Intelligence [+1] - Increase the INT of the target by 10 points. Another buff, you really need to get it.

Bless Heart [+1] - Increase the HP regeneration of the target. Add one point into it - you need buffs.

Mana Control [+1; more optional] - Passive skill; increases your MP regeneration. It's useful and really you should maximize it if you have spare SP points, if not - just get level 1.

Enhanced MP [+5] - Passive skill; increases your MP amount. Definitely rise it till maximum.

Level 20-40

Fast Heal [+1; more optional] - This is your best heal spell at this point. It has a very fast cast time and can be spamed, so you can keep it at first level and leave SP for other skills - when you become a Priest you will get Great Heal which is 100 time better then this.

Group Heal [+5] - Heals all your party members - level up it.

Reverse [+1] - With that skill you can resurrect your party mates and give them back 10% exp they lost, but better try to keep them alive. (:

Wisdom [+2] - Increase the WIS of the target.

Mite [+1] - Increase the striking power of the target.

Shield [+1] - Increase the physical defensive power of the target.

Bless Wind [+1] - Increase the moving speed of the target.

Bless Mind [+2] - Increase the MP regeneration of the target.

Bless Heart [+3] - Increase the HP regeneration of the target.

Enhanced MP [+10] - Passive skill; increases your MP amount.

Enhanced HP [+5] - Passive skill; increases your HP amount.

Mana Control [+X] - Passive skill; increases your MP regeneration. If you leveled that skill before then add some more points into it.

Divine Judgment [+1] - Gives 53 damage each second for 6.3 seconds. Get it, this skill ignores M def of the mobs so it's very useful against Raid Bosses - cast this skill on them and get back to healing.

In case you are a PvP type and at level 40+ you want to do something more in guild wars beside healing then learn the skill below, when you reach level 40 then it will evolve into SLEEP spell.

Angelic Touch [+10, max it] - Decrease the M DEF of the enemy by fixed amount.
