How do you level a Support Cleric (Is Cleric: Circle 2 necessary for support?)

Class and Rank Cleric
#1

Hi guys, I haven’t seen this question asked in the forums or on google searches so I decided to ask it here on my own.

Without a party, we all know that this class takes more time grinding than other DPS classes. And as you know, it’s hard to find a dedicated party or plan to play at a certain time with friends. I want to be enlightened on two things:

First: How hard is it to level a support cleric that focuses his stats on INT, CON & SPR?

Second: Is Cleric: Circle 2 necessary for support? If it is, what is the soonest one needs to obtain Circle 2?

I asked the 1st question because I understand that aside from the skills Heal and Cure; a Cleric has no other offensive capabilities other than whacking a monster with a weapon. This is especially obvious during the early levels of the game (levels 1-40).

And I asked the 2nd question because I have studied the class and find that there are no damage skills in the 2nd circle. If one goes directly from Circles 1 to Circle 2 Cleric, I can just imagine the difficulty at solo grinding. I was wondering if it would be more feasible to rank up to Krivis (to get Zaibas, which is a DPS skill) then rank up Cleric to circle 2 for more support oriented skills? Although, I imagine that a Cleric Circle 1 will be sufficient enough to support a party until the higher levels (80ish-120ish).

I haven’t really given this a lot of though but perhaps my rank plan should go something like this:

Cleric C1 -> Krivis C2 (for DPS) -> Dievdirby C1 -> Dievdirby C2 (For the DPS skill, Carve Owl) -> Cleric C2 -> Priest C1 -> Priest C2

TL;DR: How the frick-frack do you level a Cleric: Circle 2 during the early game? Coz it has no damage skills :cry:

Anyway, any type of input or information regarding this would be welcomed. Thanks in advance.

if you want to be a good support cleric2 yes. priest 2 is not nesesary on my opinion

more up on skill heal, safety zone is basic, and u have a new skill “divine might” raise 1 lvl the skills for you and you party, at lvl 5 u can aply 5 skills with +1 skillslevel

is for that reason cleric2 is basic for a good support

Other is dont worry to be alone, support easy can find party to lvl up but onli good suport can find the best partys

First: How hard is it to level a support cleric that focuses his stats on INT, CON & SPR?

I mean, what else is a support cleric supposed to focus their stats on?

How the frick-frack do you level a Cleric: Circle 2 during the early game? Coz it has no damage skills

You either do or don’t. If you do, get a party. Then again, as you said, you probably won’t need cleric 2 until later on. If you don’t, get Krivis at rank 2 to speed up leveling.

Nothing is NECESSARY, but people will like it more if you did. At higher levels, you’ll be the only cleric in the party, so having more heal is nice. Having more safety wall is nice as well. At C2 cleric, you get an attribute that can give up to +20 blocks, gicing you a total of 40 blocks with safety wall if you max it out.

Will hard to play on the first month, later will has no problem when people reach Pardoner2.

You either need cleric2 or you need cleric1 + priest3 to support well. The 2nd of these requires strategic use of buffs and mass heal to support a group so it is much more technical.

Most builds will get cleric2 since it is the smaller and easier investment, heck you could justify cleric3 in a lot of builds. Heal is just that good, set it down near the group and voila, your healing job is done.

I guess it just depends on how you want to support. If you want to be a healbot, then cleric3 really your best option. If you want to focus more on buffs and buff management, then you will want to consider priest/krivis builds.

IF you go cleric 2, I would recommend not getting it right after cleric1. You will be bored to tears. Get some other ranks 1st and then go back to cleric when you have some options.

I’ve lived the life of Cleric 2. Sure it is annoying that you have to get enemies in the deprotect zone, but such is life.

#7

Is better up to priest 2 with cleric 3 or cleric 2 with priest 3?

#8

If you are going cleric 3 I would not recommend going back to priest unless you want ressurrection, in which case just get priest 1.

With priest 3, you can get added heal tiles with cleric 2, but it may be overkill at that point depending on your skill as a player.

You can stagger buffs like revive and stoneskin to keep people alive until your heals are back up.

SUPORT

This build is good for high lvl with status CON:1 INT:3 SPR:1?

I don’t think you’ll need 38 blocks. You know that safety wall has an attribute that can give you up to +20 blocks right? You can use those points for cure. Also, at least from the videos I’ve seen so far, there aren’t full support priests in Earth Tower. This is because they need all the DPS they can get as there is a timer to completing each stage. Being full support priest may keep them alive, but you won’t clear the stage.
Being semi support, enough to keep them alive, is good enough.

I would suggest to throw in Krivis C2 in there somewhere for the damage.

Here’s an example of semi dps/support build that I’m planning to use:

@NekoNyanpire, @BlackGhost & @Remiri

Thank you very much for your input. I appreciate you guys answering my question.

I like how @BlackGhost mentioned that nothing is technically necessary and that every build can be viable. That’s what this game is all about, creating your own build and having fun with it.

From what I gather from everyone’s responses and from doing more research on the build, Cleric C2 is a basic necessity for a supporter later in the game. However, Cleric C1 will suffice if accompanied with Priest C3 (which is a very support-oriented class)

I wish to go with the former since hope to contribute to the DPS of the party as well as support them.

@BlackGhost, Regarding the skill build that you posted (Cleric -> Dievdirby -> Druid -> Plauge Doctor)
Is it possible to jump to Dievdirby after Cleric C1? Or are you planning to pummel through Cleric C2 before attaining the Dievdirby?

#12

Diev is a rank 3 class, thus you can’t take it at rank 2. You have to choose between Cleric c2, krivis and priest.

Well… I guess they can’t make things too easy for us.

@Remiri If you were to follow that build, how would you grind and level to Diev as a Cleric without any STR or offensive skills?

#14

I would play with a friend. Solo is going to be painful as a Cleric C2. You could focus on quests and EXP cards to an extent. Grinding would not be a good option until you rank up.

All righty, thanks for the input.

#16

I’m not sure if you know but heal and cure deal damage to enemy that step on it.

Also you should never get Cleric C2 at rank 2 unless you must, the other classes help kill monsters more easily. And even then heal and cure will carry you early game because most exp comes from quest so no need to kill that many monsters.

Probably the only problem you will have is flying mobs, but early game you can still kill them with AA

#17

I would love to go cleric>priest c3>chaplain>pardoner>PD, and not going for cleric c2 so my question is… What does happen when i do use one scroll? It Góes on some kind of CD? For example, if i craft my own heal lvl 5 scrolls would be possible to obtain 10 healing cells (by using heal lvl 5 + scroll heal lvl 5)? If so i could easily pass the cleric c2. Or i could just give some of those scrolls to some character on my party, so he could help me to drop the heals.

#18

Nothing happens, only a few skills can be turned into scrolls and you lack the best class options for it. (Krivis/Paladin3.)

#19

I will buy daino and zalciai, and heal is listed in the scrolls that are able to be created acording to another topic, and acording to this same other topic scrolls have CD. So what I realy would like to know is if is possible to cast my own heal lvl 5 + an scroll of heal lvl 5 to create 10 healing cells, which would be the main reason for me to go cleric c2.

Heal has been removed ages ago for pardoner, said lists are often changed by patches with no mention whatsoever.

Always use a up to date pardoner list, though the last i saw was from 16th january.
