Description

Clerics in Dark and Darker are devoted followers of a deity, who use their faith and divine magic to aid their allies and smite their enemies. They can heal wounds, and cleanse curses. They can also channel their deity's power to deal radiant damage to undead and other evil creatures. They can wear heavy armour and wield powerful weapons, but their true strength lies in their ability to call upon their deity's power to turn the tides of battle

Class Info

Weapon of choice: Blunt weapons such as maces

• Pros
  • Only class with the ability to resurrect fallen allies without the need of a Sacrificial Altar.
  • Access to powerful buffs and protection spells.
  • Strong midrange offensive spells/skills in PvP, and can hold their own up-close when buffed.

  • Good room clearing ability with the Holy Purification skill.
  • Able to wield most shields.
  • Access to some Plate Armor and unique defensive Perks.
  • Excels in parties seeking to fight Bosses.
  • High Magical Interaction Speed for fast shrine use and portal opening.
• Cons
  • Slow attack speed and slowest Regular Interaction Speed.
  • Slow base movement speed.
  • No movement skills.
  • Limited choices of weapons with no ranged choices (except for spells).
  • Limited number of spell casts, with limited ways of replenishing them. Campfires or a Bard teammate are necessary for fast recovery.
  • Slow base spell casting speed.

You can equip an additional perk every 5 levels. Currently maxed out at Level 15, so a total of 4 perks can be equipped.

- Communication is important! Communicate with your team when they should back up to be healed, if they should stand still, and so on.

- Be careful when using buffs and heals since you can also target monsters, corpses and enemy players.

- Pre-buff your team before a PvP encounter.

- Be sure you have campfires when entering a dungeon to enable you to replenish your spell casts when needed.

- You can increase your spell casting efficiency during PvP fights by pre-charging and holding the cast while waiting for the right opportunity to cast a heal for example.
