Between safety zone and deprotected zone, what levels should I keep those skills or even max out as a cleric c3?
It depend on your build stats class etc.
i feel like the real problem here is going Cleric C3…
i mean, C2 if you -really- gotta have more heals? but C3…? i dunno.
Meanwhile…
The more SPR you’re taking, the more useful Deprotected Zone -could- be… but then again will the target be alive long enough for it to ever get to its potential?
but then again, Safety Zone just literally blocks outright X many hits.
if you’re mobbing, or have low SPR, i’d say dump it all on Safety Zone.
if you’re hunting single large targets, AND have lots of SPR, you might want to go about half and half, or a lot of Deprotected Zone.
…it’s really hard to advise, without knowing what your planned build and overall objective is.
Was thinking of Cleric c3>Paladin c3 support build focusing on SPR and CON. Not sure about rank 7
If you’re going a SPR paladin build, I recommend getting Krivis c1 over Cleric c3. Zalciai scales with SPR.
If you really want to go Cleric c3 for some reason, you should max out Heal and Safety Zone. If you were going INT I would say put your points into Cure, but since you’re not you could put the other ones into Divine Might or Fade.
mmmm, all that delicious crit!
Priest’s Aspersion (attack), and Monstrance scales with Spr too.
I’ve seen another Cleric3/Paladin when I was running dungeon. Useful to heal parties but that’s about it. Non-clerics never know how to take advantage of safety zone.
So you’re not investing into STR/INT?
You’ll miss the bonus STR/INT stats that you get every few points 
Cure will only be worth maxing if you’re an INT build, otherwise Heal is the only skill I can think of that’s max-worthy in Cleric3.
Are you a Cleric3 already or still planning?
There’s definitely a discussion about whether Paladin should go STR, INT, or SPR. You get more damage out of STR or INT, but you can support a lot better with SPR. (and you still do get bonus SPR every few points, but you don’t get the +10% everytime you rank up)
@tzxazrael Those things do scale with SPR, but if you end up with a SPR priest in your party then those skills are redundant D: The main argument for Kriv is that no other builds really go SPR + Kriv, and that it’s not worth giving up all the healing from Cleric 2 just to get Monstrance and Aspersion (also everything else that priest does falls off p hard).
