So, you wanted to become a Cleric? Perhaps you thought healing was really useful or cool. Or maybe your friends forced you to become one because of peer-pressure or blackmail. Nevertheless, you're a Cleric now!

Cleric Abilities

It is important to become familiar with the abilities obtained when becoming a Cleric, before learning the skill patterns of one.

MP Eater

Soaks up a certain percentage of an enemy's mp with a certain success rate. The higher the level, the more MP you "absorb" from enemies. Saves you from buying those expensive potions. MP Eater only works if you attack the monster with a magic attack. Any magic attack can absorb the enemies MP and transfer it to yours.

Heal

A unique skill for clerics in which you heal a certain percentage of your hp, and the undead monsters in the area will also take damage. (Note, I did not say devil based monsters, they are unaffected) Heal damages a maximum of 5 monsters at a time. The higher the lvl of this skill, the more HP you heal of you and your party members. (300% Heal Rate = 300% of your HP, and this applies for party members being healed by you). It uses 24 MP when maxed.

Teleport

A skill that allows you to teleport to a certain distance of the map. The higher the skill, the less MP you spend, and the farther you will go. Teleport at 1 can go faster than a thief with maxed haste, if you use it constantly.

Invincible

Reduces weapon damage from all monsters. When maxed, it can reduce 30% of an enemies weapon attack! If an enemy does 1000 dmg, you only take 700 of it.
NOTE: Weapon Damage is not Magic Damage, a Crimson Barlogs Dark Lightning is a Magic Attack, not a Weapon Attack. Some monsters just have Weapon Attack and some have both.

Bless

Increases you and your party's Avoidability, Accuracy, Weapon Defense, and Magic Defense. The higher the skill, the longer Bless lasts, and the more Avoidability, Accuracy, Weapon Defense, and Magic Defense the party gets. Parties will adore and invite you to their party because of this skill. Also, Bless stacks with all other abilities your party members have (Except magic armor). If you were a Magician, you should max Magic Guard, as you get dealt less damage, and Bless does stack with it.

Holy Arrow

Launches a Holy Arrow at a foe, and does 1.5 times damage to both Undead and Devil based monsters. This is really the only active skill (Magic Attack) that a Cleric has. Heal is not an actual magic attack, as it is a recovery skill. There is an ongoing debate about whether Magic Claw or Holy Arrow is the better one of the two. It will be explained later in this article.

Skill Builds

This is what you were looking for, right? The skill builds! These can teach you how to properly spend your skill points.

Solo Cleric

A solo Cleric is a Cleric who usually does not get involved in parties as other Clerics tend to do. This is for people who prefer to hunt alone.

Party Cleric

The Cleric who enjoys the company of other people, and likes to share experience with them. Party clerics only put only one point into MP Eater, but they max out Bless to attract party members. Thieves with Haste and Spearmen with Hyper Body often look out for Clerics with Bless. For you, it would be very, helpful in-game.

Diverse Cleric

This is a Cleric build, not following specific paths of soloing, parties, or making money.
