Cleric Overview

Cleric Basic Information

Role

Main party healer who attacks from range when everyone is healthy.

Weapon

A mace.

Damage

Condemnation, on targets marked by Chain of Torment.

Party value

Group heals, cleanses and a revive for fallen allies.

How to Play Cleric

Heal Through the Big Hits

Save Healing Light for whoever is lowest, and Radiant Recovery for big party damage. It also cleanses a debuff.

Keep MP Up With Attack Skills

Earth's Retribution refills MP. Weave it in between Condemnation, Judgment Thunder and your heals.

Move Smart, Keep Casting

Stuns and knockdowns break your casting. Stay out of area attacks so you can keep healing.

Mark Targets With Chain of Torment

Condemnation only hits targets with Chain of Torment on them, so apply it first.

Pre-Cast Before the Pull

Light of Regeneration heals over time. Cast it before the fight starts.
