Cleric

From Project 1999 Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search
A Cleric is a holy woman born with the power to heal, and, to a lesser extent, call upon the wrath of her deity to smite her foes.
 Prayer is how the Cleric gains her ability.
- EverQuest Manual

Description

C cleric.gif

Clerics dedicate their lives to the gods of Norrath, gaining magical powers in exchange for their faith and service. Clerics are primarily a magic-using class, with the ability to wear plate armor and wield blunt weapons.

Clerics gain powerful healing and enhancement spells, greatly increasing the health and defenses of their group, while keeping them healed in the most dangerous battles. While other priest classes have healing spells, no one can match up with the power and efficiency of clerical healing.

Clerics are potent enemies of the undead, able to channel their holy fervor into highly destructive banishment spells. Resurrection is also the domain of the cleric, allowing them to bring their fallen companions back from the dead without the normal penalties for death.

With a few exceptions, clerics are dependent on being part of a group. But they are highly desirable group members. An experienced cleric is a great benefit to any group and is an excellent choice for the social player.

Creation Guide

Picking the Right Race

The first thing you have to pick then is your race. Which race you pick will determine the foundation of you character for the rest of your life in Norrath, so it is kind of important you pick one you like.

The major factors in race selection for clerics are the stats, racials, and itemization. With Clerics, itemization is far more varied between races than with most other classes, due to symbol quests and special Cleric only robes available.

Notable Racial Distinctions

Statistics

Below are the starting ability scores for each race.

RACE STR STA AGI DEX WIS INT CHA BONUS
Dark Elf 65 70 90 75 93 99 60 30
Dwarf 95 95 70 90 93 60 45 30

Human 80 80 75 75 85 75 75 30

Spending Your Bonus Points

Wisdom is the primary ability score for Clerics because it provides extra mana, and mana controls how many heals a Cleric can cast before needing to meditate. Charisma, Stamina, and Strength are also important to a much lesser degree: Strength helps Clerics carry their heavy plate armor, Stamina helps them survive by giving them extra hit points, and Charisma affects the success of their Lull spell line.

While Agility is not especially helpful for Clerics, any character with less than 75 Agility suffers penalties, so Dwarven and Erudite Clerics should spend 5 points on Agility to get up to 75. 

Allocation Recommendations
Erudite/Dwarf: 25 Wisdom, 5 Agility
Other Races: 25 Wisdom, 5 Strength

Note: There is also a school of thought that, since Wisdom gear is cheap and easy to get, (and lots of it) that it is better to put 25 points in Charisma, instead of Wisdom, in order to lessen critical fails on the Lull line of spells, which tends to kill the group's healer/rezzer.

Religion

Clerics cannot be agnostic and are forced to choose a religion. This does not create too many difficulties, except for Dark Elves. The worship of evil gods can lead to some problems in some zones, but these can easily be avoided. Choose a god which you think will tie in well with the nature of your character.

The benefits of each religion are summarized above, and you may also want to consider looking at the deity-specific quests before picking a deity.

FAQ

Q: Upon reaching a pre-designated level caster classes gain the research ability. What do clerics use for research to create their spells?

A: The cleric although a caster is consider a priest class. That being stated, no priest classes (Druid, Cleric, Shaman) are required to research components for higher level spells. All priest spells are availabe at vendors or 50+ as a dropped spell from a monster.

Q: What do you specialize in if you are a Cleric?

A: Depends greatly on the cleric, however the cleric is generally the primary healer in groups and since healing uses the alteration skill, this is the most common specialization.

Q: What are the timelimits for a corpse to stay online before it disappears, and is there a differant time length between whether you are logged on or off?

A: Corpses will last one week, regardless of if the player is online or not. Resurrections cannot be performed after 3 hours online gameplay.

Q: When does a cleric get to meditate?

A: Clerics can begin meditating at level eight. The character needs to put a practice point in at their guild for it to go into effect.

Q: I just memmed my Level 1 Divine Aura spell but it's still greyed out. What gives? Am I doing something wrong?

A: Divine Aura can only be used once every fifteen minutes. Once you have memmed the spell you must wait 15 minutes before you can use it. When the gem appears normally it can be cast.

Q: Do the symbol buffs increase in effect when levels are gained and does level effect duration?

A: Yes, on both questions.

Q: Why does a cleric who is a priest to a deity/god not get any special 'ability' or even looks depending on thier deity/God?

A: Religion serves only a few small purposes in EverQuest. For Clerics it can effect if they are like or dislike by other temple factions. It can also affect which imbue spells they can use.

Q: If the cleric is considered "The Primary Healer" why don't they get the summon bandages spell. They can summon water, food, and hammers, why not bandages.

A: Good Question. Their God's must only believe in pure healing as opposed to rudimentary measures like band-aids.

Q: Why are Clerics robbed of any type of an invisibility spell? We seem to be the only caster type, whether pure or hybrid, that lack this ability.

A: Your priestly abilities only allows you to cloak yourselves from the undead. It's simply the way it is.

Q: Why is it when I cast divine barrier I can still be stunned? Apparently my god is powerful enough to protect my from any amount of damage. Yet isn't quite strong enough to keep me from being knocked loopy. Is there a actual reason for this or just an oversight in the programing?

A: Being stunned is just something which is not protected by the divine barrier. There is no other explanation except that it is just the way things are. (Divine Barrier also does not protect you from DoT's)

Q: What are the imbued line of spells used for? What trade skill are they used for?

A: The imbued line of spells is for enchanting items made through tradeskills. Only one spell can be used for each deity however. Currently Blacksmithing, Jewelcrafting, and Pottery Idols utilize the imbued stones created with the spells.

Q: I heard something about clerics getting more efficient heals or +% to the amount they heal compared to other classes, is this true or are all heals equivalent whether cast by a cleric/druid/shaman/etc?

A: Clerics gain additional healing spells that are more efficient for the dmg healed to mana spent ratio. Also, a cleric's specialization will help cut down on the amount of mana used for various healing spells. Finally, Clerics appear to have more powerful versions of heals that they share with other classes - a Greater Healing spell cast by a Druid or Shaman, for example, will max out at 270 HP, but cast by a Cleric this same spell will heal up to 300 HP.
