CLOSING REMARKS

Let's wrap this up. Maybe some other guides will help you with stats. But as a rule of thumb, this is the summary for stats:

• For support cleric with maximum (or near max) healing/buffs, INT = level, rest CHA.
• For battle cleric with highest AP, DEX = level, some SEN for critical, rest INT.
• For defensive cleric with balanced defenses, DEX = INT.

Additional note: If you still need help on how to customize your build, feel free to ask by describing how you want to play with your cleric. You can use the clusters as your initial references then I can create a custom build for you.

For example:

A battle cleric with healing support capabilities.

1. Take offensive core
2. Take healing core and extension-party
3. Get more sub-clusters based on what you need/want (for example, since you will need more mana as healer, get Mana flame or mana regeneration).
4. Wrap up for 241 points (if you are level 250) or based on your current SP.
5. ???
6. Done!

Would you say it is possible to get pt when leveling as a bc or do people just not want you in their pt?

It is possible if you play as lurer. BC is mainly fun when leveling in Eldeon from 120 to 160. At level 160, you will be forced to FS in Ruins BUT you can still find party if you work as lurer, but not as easy as when you play FS.

If you plan solo boss hunting, you can go offense cluster, defense cluster, and summon cluster.

Try the following:
Offensive core 80
Enhancement core 15
Skill-based core 30
Skill-based extension - Fire 10
Intelligence extension 15
Summon core 10
Phantom sword summon extension 5
Total: 165 (You can add more skill clusters but make sure it will not hinder the way you play as battle cleric, such as summon Salamander will reduce the number of Phantom sword that you can summon, etc).

Go for Arua/Hebarn or Typhoon/Gale, Junon Mask, Exalted Raging.

As for stats, 150 SEN, 100 CHA, 250 DEX, rest INT.
