# General Description

**Cleric**
are humble servants of god seeking to save the innocent from the grasp of darkness and the unfaithful. Clerics live and die for the light, using it as an instrument to heal or harm. Their powerful prayers resonating through the battlefield is a bitter sign of hopelessness for their enemies. As long as there are Clerics guiding the pure, the old lands and the new shall remain safe from evil.

### Resource

Even though they are servants of God just like Judicators, Clerics prefer to rely on their willpower like Wizards in order to survive in battle instead of borrowed powers from the God. All of Cleric abilities cost mana and they should be used carefully. Clerics sometimes pray to their God for replenishment and relief, effectively restoring mana.

# Perks

**Amulet of Endurance** - Recommended For Shorter Cooldown And Can Be Used While Stunned Good Vs High Burst characters.

**Runic Bandage** - Not recommended. As a healer you get targeted most of the times so it wouldn't be possible to cast it.

**Amulet of Healing** - Recommended. The best option for most situations. Being able to Heal while stunned if it gets dangerous is a game winner.

**Revival** - Situational. This is only better than Amulet of Healing if the opponent goes all in like a Rogue with his Bash.

## Example Build 2 (Damage/Hybrid Build)

Build is good for 1vs1. Its still fine for 2vs2 and 3vs3 but you should focus more on healing in those even tho that also depends on the comb you are running.

Masteries:  Blessed Shielding  Faithful Suppression  Purging Evil

Primes:  Sanctuary  Mass Confession  Angelic Mend

Stat Allocation: 15x Critical Effect, 15x Swiftness, 10x Acceleration

Perk: Amulet of Healing

Rotation: You basically spam  Light Spike if you are at an agreeable amount of health and cast  Testament off cooldown. Also cast  Virtuous Barrier and  Angelic Mend off cooldown for staying alive. Use Light Form to get a save  Divine Prayer out. Use  Mass Confession to zone/kite your enemy in 1vs1 and in 2vs2/3vs3 use it so your teammates do more damage or in a combo with other spells. Cast  Sanctuary on yourself to avoid stuns or for extra safety for  Divine Prayer
