Hey im a lvl 41 cleric, after a a few days of reading the Basil forums i've finally decided what my final 2nd job build it. basically its MAX everything and 10 in HA. I'm kinda anti-holy arrow but this isn't really what this thread is about. i was wondering what are the stats for HA at 10 compared to magic claw maxed? i want to know this so i can decide to put the points in as soon as i can or as late as i can. because if at 10 HA trumps MAX MC i'll get it to 10 so it can help me out because later its pretty useless closer to my 3rd job. but if its not as good (which is my guess) as MAX MC then ill put points in it at the end. i also have another question, can u use 2nd job AP or SP (i dont know which is which XD but u know what i mean) for your 3rd job? because that might change somethings in my build. Thnx in advance

10 HA is completely useless for all practical purposes. You have to use up all your 2nd job SP before you can advance to 3rd.

10 Holy Arrow does not do more damage than 20 Magic Claw You cannot use 2nd job SP in 3rd job skills -edit- you have 11 SP over, not just ten. it would be 11 into Holy Arrow. I actually recommended the 11 HA build until a while ago when I realized bless gives less weapon defense than Magic Armor at max level. At level 11 however, it gives the same. (30 at max level, 20 at level 11 for Magic Armor. Bless gives 20 at max.) So I started recommending, (assuming that you'll attempt to hit Bishop): Max Heal, Bless, Invincible, MP Eater, & Teleport. Then I said, 11 into Magic Armor. Then I would say, when you're a priest, first, do your main skills. This would be, HS, SR, Door, ER, & Dispel. Then I say put 15 into Summon Dragon. After you have a level 15 dragon, put 9 more SP into Magic Armor and always use Magic Armor after Bless, then finish your career as a Bishop with SP in Summon Dragon. I think that maxing out Summon Dragon isn't necessary due to Summon Bahamut. I think that Doom is slightly unnecessary, but may be useful in certain cases. Just my advice to my friends that would take my advice.

Holy Arrow = Same damage and casting speed as Magic Claw. However, against high defense opponents, it does more damage than Magic Claw because of its single hit rather than double, as the damage is reduced by the monster's defense only once instead of twice. Your decision if you'd rather have that or MPE.

I dont think 10 extra def. points will make much of a diffrence at higher level and i certainly dont want to use any of my 3rd job sp into my 1st job, i would much rather max out door or keep door at lv4 (1 minute) and add the rest into doom. My opinion. @TS When HA is maxed, it deals about the same dmg as MC, only beneficial diffrence would be the holy element it deals to a single monster. Not worth 30 2nd job points. As said above, add 10 points into it (you really have nothing else) and one into MA for animation.

I don't really think anyone actually cares about the tiny extra amount of def that magic armor gives. Both are useless and both you'll take off your keys because you'll have other more important skills to use - you learn like 4 new ones immediately at level 70-72
