Ok, To clear everything up, Im from Bjiou, are there imposters of me? I dunno, but there should be, cuz I'm all thats hip and happenin!
I get alot of bull for my build, but I like it and it works really well.
First thing I did is put my first 5 points into Str. It helped alot in the lower levels when you dont party, and Im sure it helps a bit now (im in the mid 20's)
Next, I put 12 points into Spr, my mana is pretty massive ( plus I usually rest as much as possible, even when Party members are fighting, as to be a HEALER. Party members shouldnt have to use Pots or Stones with a cleric in the party... EVER!)
Now, Im gettin my END to 15, then Ill make a 1:1 End/Spr.
All my skill points are in HEALING. I increase Cooldown, SP cost, and the "damage" of the spell. With maxed out healing, and alot of SPR, and a good amount of END, I get into higher level partys, and my name gets around as a true Healer.
So to sum up this pointless, re-iterated, rant:
1) A cleric heals, if you wanna tank, make a fighter. But make sure your hot keys are set to back-up tank if you have to. I set up two sets of hotkeys, one for battle, and one for buffs and such.
2) If you constantly save people from dying from adds, or general combat, they will add you on their friends list, and Party you as soon as you log on. Try to find fighters to get tight with, as you can just hit follow and heal them as they cut a unholy swath through tons of xp...errr mobs.
3) Try having some personality! Having fun is the key to enjoying this game!! Der! You think of something funny, and it makes you laugh, type it in party, type it in guild chat, type it in shout, anything. Between being a dependable healing cleric, and makin people enjoy themselves will get you into good guilds, and good partys.
I've only been playin Fiesta for about 2 months now, but I've been playing MMORPG's for about 10 years now, starting with Ultima Online. I always get into the best guilds, and always have people who want to group / PT with me. Just dont cross the line into being obscene / obnoxious / or just plain annoying.
I hope this helps anyone starting off and making a cleric. Remember, be a healer, thats how KQs are won and xp is earned by the truckload.
One a side note.... anyone like making sigs? especially sigs for like.. um... me!? =)
Thanks for bearing with this rant,
