Excellent guide

Silly question maybe but does Faith in Action convert the crit chance of Inner Focus from Inquisitor so your melee abilities benefit from it?

[DoggyDog]

nice post dude, 1 question though....what, from personal experience, do you think is faster for levelling; melee or caster? i cant seem to get to grips with a melee cleric for levelling but if it works i'll give it a try

Cheers

I found melee to work much better on the way to 40. Past 40, the inquisitor/justicar build serves me exceptionally well for questing and aoe killing.

There really aren't enough points in the mid 30's to make inquisitor work effectively as you're still massively squishy.

Awesome guide, surprisingly fun build to use for a nice change from questing

Keep up the good work.

Yes it does. I have not done the math personally, but few people have and it certainly feels that way while playing.

@Dynatos:
Always focus on Wisdom. Your passive power (Faith In Action) will convert all of that into melee stats so to speak. For clerics, Spellpower > Wisdom > Int > everything else. In some rare cases/builds, you might want to put Int before wisdom, that is for a builds that are highly dependent on crit damage/healing. But even then, Wisdom could arguably be better. Or if you are a tank you might want to pickup Endurance or Strength for blocking, but those are specific purpose builds. In short, you can't really go wrong with Wisdom.

I cannot stress how amazing that melee AoE build is... I was justicar/shaman/druid... all cookie cutter like.. but even at lvl 26 the build you have blows my mind. Thank you sir.

[Molecular]

Great post! Thank you for taking the time to put it together, by the way.

Question though: What would you say I should do at 39? The Just/Sham one seemed like the one I should pick, but is it going to be sub-other specs at this level?



TL;DR: Which build for level 39?

[Insanity]

This is the best post in the entire cleric forums, thanks a bunch OP.

I have tried and tested the majority of your builds, and they are all working out excellent.

I have been running the Inq/war/jus build this weekend and I am just wondering about mana. I seem to be running out of it fairly easy. Am I just playing it wrong or is there a problem with the build? Agressive Renewal just doesn't seem to get back enough and the 2 minute cooldown makes it useless.

thanks for the guide I just hit 19 with my cleric and trying out the Inquisitor/Cabalist/Sentinel.. the issue Im having is at this level almost every single quest with packs of mobs have at least one or two caster types mixed in and its making AOE questing very difficult. If all are melee no probs at all with 4-6 at a time but throw in 3 melee and 2 casters and vex+shield isnt enough to keep my health up

[Urchin]

Like let Cavalier and/or Salvation fall off? Yeah, I've done that a couple times.

I tend to do this when I stop leveling for a bit. Then halfway through a fight I say oh sh---, too late.

It's funny, I read this before I made the change to his 33 Just/Sham build and yet I still find myself doing the same thing you do.

Thank you so much for this guide! People keep saying that they want more healers, I decided to start one but was worried that it would be really painful leveling like it is in other games. I have enjoyed leveling with the builds that you have suggested so thank you for all your hard work. And I would love to see a pvp guide, I know some people are immature and will be irritatingly complaining about what your findings are for that but I think the majority of us would appreciate your hard work!

How does Vex heal? I'm level 22 and I don't see any buffs that would allow Vex to heal me

You're not looking closely enough. Look in the middle left of the Inquisitor tree for a 2/2 Talent.
