RvR Spec for Cleric - Phoenix Freeshard

Hi Phoenix,

Pretty new to DAoC and Phoenix. I have never had a lvl 50 char, but I am getting close with my Cleric.

What is a good Spec for RvR?

My original plan was to go full enchantment, but I don't think I will have enough concentration to buff more than a few players.

Any suggestions? Also on how I should spend my Realm Points (currently 1 - 7)

Thanks in advance.

I wont speak much on spec as I have no experience playing cleric in this era of daoc. Standard 42 Ehn, 33 rej (Edit: or spec for better cure nearsight obviously) would be my best guess.

Go for these RAs ASAP, then it comes down to preference...

LW+Tireless+Serenity 1
MCL 1
Purge 1
PR 1

The optionals (ROI = return on investment)

Divine Intervention - Rank 1 is pretty good ROI, later ranks less so
Purge - Getting rank 2 or 3 might be worth it, anything higher is kind of a waste of points imo.
MotArcane - will be appreciated by everyone and will also slightly increase your own stats, very good ROI at least until rank 5
MotArt & Aug Dex - Getting rank 4-5 or so eventually is pretty nice as it will make playing feel smoother even if the HPS increase isnt tremendous.
Barrier of Fortitude - Good once you cand afford everything else you want and can get at least Rank 3 of BoF.
Wild Healing - One point is really good ROI since your heals cant crit at all without it. Higher rank is good but should not be prioritized.
Mastery of Healing - First few points are pretty good ROI but should not be prioritized

Aug Acu - Probably not worth it but it increases your Concentration pool very slightly, allowing you to buff more. If you can invest only a few points to afford one more buff, that's decent i guess.
Avoidance of Magic - Might be worth looking into once you are rr9+ or so. Should not be prioritized.

Every good full RvR group needs two Clerics, one with 40enh 35rej (updated) and one with 35enh 41rej (updated). And that is it, there are your only two options. Smite spec or full Enhancement might look funny, but both are very bad in a full RvR group.

To clarify, he’s mostly referring to an 8-man. If your plan is to zerg surf, you can usually get away with being a little more creative.

kinda funny how you managed to get both specs wrong

its 40 enhance 35 rejuv 9 smite and 41 rejuv 35 enhance 3 smite

in the first it makes absolutely no sense to go for the spec grp heal as its pretty much the worst heal in the game on power to hp ratio. rather go for the slightly better DA even tho the difference isnt huge.

in the 2nd you go for yellow greater instead of yellow spirit as thats covered by the enhance cleric anyway and the yellow greater is an insanely good "oh shit" heal.

Thanks for the clarification! I just knew, that the lvl40 spells were the important must haves in both specs.
