Cleric
Requirements
- First Job Advancement at Level 8 as the Magician
- Second Job Advancement at Level 30 and passed the 2nd Job Instructor's Test
Introduction
The Cleric is the most important class in the whole of Maplestory due to their support skills and which benefit all other classes.
The Cleric's support skills like Bless help fellow party members gain bonus defences for both physical and magical, additional accuracy and avoidability. A support skill like Heal ensures constant recovery of the Cleric's own HP as well as the party members' HP. An exception is Invincible which only applies to the Cleric and not fellow party members.
The Cleric's attacking skills like Heal helps the user recover his/her HP and attack Undead based monsters at the same time, no other classes have this unique ability.
A Cleric is arguably the easiest class to train and at the same time save on HP pots which in turn saves Mesos (the in-game currency) .
A Cleric's greatest disadvantage is his/her low damage compared to other classes as they are designed to be more of a support class than to be an independent class.
