Cleric PvE — First Prayers

You just hit the cap, the dungeon finder is open, and suddenly four or five people are counting on you. Your gear is the story mace and whatever Draupnir has dropped, and your groups are still learning the fights just like you. This version is built for exactly that week: one emergency heal more than the main build carries, and everything else pointed at Healing Light and Condemnation reaching 16.

The skill points end at 10 on the ten main actives and on the two Graces; the rest comes from the board nodes you pick up while levelling and from three grey cards at +2.

A fresh 45 has exactly 30 points: Light of Protection to 10, and Earth Punishment, Noble Aura and Absolution to 5. That is the main build's set with one change. Prayer of Amplification waits; in its place sits a heal that strips debuffs from the whole party and, at stigma level 5, comes back every 60 seconds instead of 90.

Groups this early take more damage than they should, so you heal more than the main build does. Keep Light of Regeneration rolling from before the pull, use Healing Light on whoever just took a hit, and Radiant Recovery when three or more bars dip at once. When nothing is falling, go back to the macro: right click and E, with left click held under them for the MP.
