Classes: The Cleric

Clerics -- the premier healer in the game. A popular class for any group, the cleric brings the ability to heal the party and keep you from dying, and can even bring you back from death at higher levels.

What is the best way to play a cleric? Can a cleric be soloed, and if so how? How should you play a cleric in a group? What spells are the best ones to buy and develop? what skills should a cleric concentrate on? What items should you seek out?

Post your strategies on how to best play and develop the Cleric and read, rate and comment on what others have to say.

Fizzling, Alteration,Specialization

I've been getting alot of fizzling. I checked my Alteration which seems to be capped out at 235. Is there a way to increase this cap?

I guess I can train Secondary Forte to help reduce fizzles on other specialization to 100 or whatnot.

Is there any other ability that can help with fizzles?

No way to stop fizzling, My hot buttons for spell casting has /cast ?? listed twice just in case of fizzles.

If you find a way to stop, maybe they'll add an AA, let me know :)

Spell Casting Mastery - Type: Passive; Max - 3; Cost - 2; Requirements: Level - 55, Must spend 6 ability points in the General Abilities; This ability gives you an increased chance of making your specialization checks. It also reduces your chance to fizzle (or miss song notes) and increases the chance to lower the mana cost for the spell by 5, 15, and 30 percent.


Doesn't eliminate fizzles, but helps.

I think they just about said it all. Do note that is your specialazation ended up in something other than alteration, you might want to reset them. I believe the quest to do that starts in temple off of Lavastorm. As a cleric, we have all the casting skills, but the one needed the most at high levels is alteration, due to groups aversion to letting the cleric cast dmg (it can be hard to cast dmg anyways due to resists). So if you have something other than healing, i segest you change it, then sit there with a mid-level heal and just cast and cast and cast until it breaks 51.

Just like to say that i have maxed skill in almost all spell skills (working on conjuration) and i only fizzle about once in 100 maybe 150 casts. Needless to say its EXTREAMLY rare.
