Im not priest but krivis, I can only relying on heal tiles for my party, that reply just my example explained, my english was bad, hard to explain my full opinion.
I set heal tiles consider on timing, hitting boss will do so as I said on top. While mobbing in dun, im not gonna do that, I will try set a safety zone for tanky, then set heal tiles on tanking area, second tiles will set on near the next clearing mob spot, at last I will use zaibas on mob.

[/quote]This is what people need to learn.
Casting safety zone on yourself to cast heal tiles is fine, and this is what most healers do.
But when you have a tank that can provoke, you want to cast it on him first.
And then expect 20 mobs to hide all your heal tiles if you cast it there, and the tank wonāt move around.
On low level dungeons setting heal tiles on tanking area is fine.
For Cleric2s, on higher level dungeons casting in the middle of mobs = not useful because tank canāt move, heal tiles not visible, your other party members wonāt jump there because the mobs can eat their hp fast.
You can see the emergency moments in the video where I was just passing through the mobs, not even attacking, getting ready to cast safety zone and heal tiles, and lost 50-80% of my hp.
And 1 cast of cleric2ās heal tiles, 10 heal tiles, are not enough to heal 3 party members who are at <20% health. And most of the time, unlike the video, one party member will soak up all the heal tiles, most often the archer for some reason, because theyāre usually the most squishy/scared ones?
Dont be stupid, i am using a wizard class. I only go near to the boss when im using psychic pressure. So tell me if there are other wizard class (exclude psychokino and featherfoot) that needs to be near the boss. Whats the sense of being a long range class if we are going near the boss?
Also I was referring heal tiles not mass heal.
Thereās an attribute that every Cleric healer should have on in a dungeon that makes it so Heal only heals and doesnāt do any damage at all. That way you can place it anywhere you want and mobs wonāt use it up. If you join a group with a Cleric who doesnāt have it, please let them know about it so they can get it. Itās a toggleable buff so they can easily turn it back on when theyāre out soloing and turn it off in parties.

[/quote]Party play != solo play.
'nuff said.
Less headache for the healer managing heals.
Look at the video I posted above.
How to deal with wizards hiding underneath my skill hotkey because they wanna stay far from the mob?
I might as well forget them and not care.
Aināt the only one here feelinā that way either.
Clerics aināt babysitters.
Thats why i am impressed on the other forumer who made a suggestion regarding heal tiles. Also, dont think that mass heal saves our as$. Who needs a cleric/priest like you, everyone knows that you can finish dungeon without a self centered cleric/priest.

May it be swordie, archer, wizard, cleric
Lol, goodluck with that.

[/quote]Didnāt need luck.
Been through a lot of dungeons because I donāt have time to solo much these days.
Been ignoring that one wizard or archer that stays at the edge of screen, or that one swordie who went away on his own, or that cleric who doesnāt do anything but cast heal tiles far away while the rest of the party mobbing is dying and I got to mass heal them.
They die, I donāt res them, we finish dungeon fast.
Thatās actually one of the aspects that I like about the healing in this game. You do your job, drop heal tiles in the right places and thatās it. If they donāt run over the tiles themselves and instead panick like chickens then itās on them. Canāt help people who donāt help themselves. Kinda forces players to take responsibility for their own actions instead of dying and blaming it on others all the time.
I really enjoy being a support character. Iām a c3 cleric, c1 paladin currently and since Iām only level 108, I consider myself to still be learning a lot of things. When I am with a party and we are clearing out the minions, I usually drop down my two heals nearby so that people can run to them when they need the healing. I also drop them both down so that I can cast them again quicker.
Something you might want to consider as well is that there is an attribute that has up to a 10% chance of healing you when you cast heal. I recommend that if you have this, turn it off if you find that you are not healing fast enough. The 3 seconds it adds to your cooldown can make a big difference.
In a boss fight, I will usually place my tiles to the left and right of where the boss is. Far enough away so that you donāt have to get too near the boss but also close enough so that you donāt have to go too far away from it in the case of melee and tankers. If the boss has a knockback attack that tends to hit folks, then I will try to place my healing tiles where they would land so that they donāt have to worry about both healing themselves and getting back to the boss.
There are plenty of other things you can do with other skills, but healing seems to be the most critical in my experience.
I definitely agree with your decision to place heal tiles near where people are going to be.
Also, thatās actually a really interesting build that Iāve never seen and am a fan of. What stat spread are you going?
I put most of my points into int to begin with. I started to see how close I was getting to dying in some dungeons so I started to put a few into con and also into spr. Currently I have a 142 int and 48ās in con and spr and that is at level 108. Eventually I think Iām going to continue to just put points into those 3 stats as needed. Not sure what Iāll end up with but most probably int will be my highest and I plan to keep con and spr about equal.
I hope this post doesnāt derail the thread.
Do I really need Mass Heal for higher lvl dungeons? I was a Cleric c3 on idCBT2 two days ago and I had 15+1 Heal tiles, 32 tiles per cooldown. I could only test 3 ranks until server was closed. Heh.
I donāt wanna pick Priest for the lvling phase would be horrible. I want something to reward myself affter the suffering Iāll be enduring that is Cleric 1-2-3. The plan is to go with mostly-int build, not spr as I donāt like to just stand there buffing people.
Would you rather have a Cleric with more buff less healing or more healing less buff? And if you have to choose between support Wizard and DPS cleric for the 5th slot in parties, what would you choose, and why?
Thanks! =)
No you donāt need Priest at all. Cleric2 is enough.
Cleric3 would be overkill even.
Some people do go full support like Cleric2/Priest3, but thereās never a need for mass heal.
OK, thanks, Acolyte. Are you from Prontera Parish? 
Sooo correct me if Iām wrong: I can heal ~and~ deal damage at the same time without people judging me (?). You know, some people might want you to just be a nice, meek heal bot.
Hey dude, donāt you worry dungeon with random people will Always be a mess and chaotic. At DG90 I went with a few friends and we knew what we should do. DPS behind waiting for tank to push a few mobs, then we began to kill them, then he aggroed, while standing on safety zone.
I made a Tank character and saw how mess it can become when people do whatever they want. Everyone following me up close made me aggro a lot of monsters at same time, making it harder to survive, higher durability consuption and a lot of other problems ( like losing monsters aggro easier ).
With organization and strategy a healerās job in this game is quite easy. ( I am not saying it is the easiest or that anyone can do it. )

Yeah usually some people do prefer you to just stay quiet and put heal tiles. Especially party members who are used to soloing.
Though remember to make your heal tiles to not damage the enemy so they are not wasted.
But yeah most parties donāt complain much as long as you heal them.
Though some cleric branches can do more active role, in the end they will criticize you if they donāt feel like youāre healing enough 
Cleric 3 might be an overkill. C2 with 11 tiles (22 titles total) is often sufficient in healing the team should the heals per tile are strong enough (for int based builds no problem at all).
Personally for a cleric if it is support build, more heals will be better than buffs. There are very limited buff slots and if one specs into too many buff spellsā¦
For a 5th slot, it depends on what the other 4 classes are made up of.
Oh also I missed your question - on heal & deal damage - Iām a priest3/monk and I have no issues with that with my dungeon parties.
It actually gets more serious when someone in the party quits.
The longer you kill the mobs, the more they can hurt you (your party), so when my buffs and heals are on cooldown I go punching them.
Plus I use Palm Strike and Hand Knife for crowd control so they slow down harassing my party.
So far my performance have been welcomed being dual duty. Itās actually pretty sad that I had to do dual duty more than I expected - I do want to be a quiet buff-heal bot sometimes.
