Cleric

Cleric is the most specialized direct-healing and resurrection package. In a multiclass loadout it adds efficient recovery, protective buffs, undead interactions, and access to Divine and Empowering invocations.

Class Details

Innate Divine Healing

The July 7 class AA exposes a pre-existing Cleric passive bonus; the AA itself is explanatory rather than a new purchased effect. T1

Critical spell onboarding

Developers use Cleric healing as the example of critical class spells automatically granted during early leveling. T1

Divine Invocation

Mana spending can produce additional healing to low-health eligible allies; use the invocation page for current priority and pet rules. T2

Strengths by Level Range

These breakpoints identify spells, abilities, or skills that materially change the class’s damage, control, recovery, or group value. They are highlights rather than a complete spell list.T2

Levels 1–19

  • The first direct-heal line and early resurrection establish the class’s defining recovery role (1: Minor Healing, 4: Light Healing, 18: Reconstitution, 19: Celestial Remedy).
  • Reliable healing indirectly raises group DPS by keeping offensive stances active and reducing recovery downtime.

Levels 20–34

  • Major healing and protection upgrades arrive together (20: Greater Healing, 20: Ward of Vie, 30: Superior Healing, 30: Word of Health).
  • This is the range where Cleric becomes the strongest dedicated answer to sustained incoming damage.

Levels 35–50

  • High-value resurrection reduces the cost of failure in difficult content (47: Resurrection).
  • Late healing remains most valuable when it permits the other two classes to remain fully offensive rather than self-protecting.

Multiclass Synergy Boundaries

What stacks
Distinct skills, spells, passives, pets, utility, and stance/invocation access can combine when their own stacking rules permit.
What does not automatically stack
Duplicate crowd control, avoidance skills, buffs, and cap-based mechanics do not become additive merely because two classes grant them.
Evaluation method
Identify the mechanic supplied by Cleric, link to its canonical rule, then compare marginal value against the other two active classes.
