Okay so I started Cleric about a week ago and I am now lv 38. To be the best cleric for my situation I have a couple questions. 1. Should I use a staff or a wand? 2.Should I wear HP equips or INT/LUK equips? I wanna be more of a solo cleric than a party cleric but I still wanna do the occasional PQ here and there and PT with friends. But I am not sure how the heal formula works. Would it do more dmg with more MA or with more HP? I have no clue.Someone please answer these questions for me.

Int and MA...HP does nothing for your damage. It just lets you survive... Staff or Wand is your choice. I used a Maple Lama Staff and then switched to Maple Shine Wand. I used HP gear for Himes (you need 1300 HP to survive) at level 70 but it's not recommended until late 7x or early 8x. Int gear really comes into affect when you're soloing at MP3 or as a Bishop IMO...

But the Heal skill says it does a % damage. Percent of what? User HP? if so the i would think that the more hp u have the more dmg heal would do.

No, Heal heals % of your health, damage is a whole other formula. Correct me if Im wrong, but more HP would only allow you to heal your friends faster, and not by much.

Can't you just read the thread about staves and wands? ... And INT equips are the best, don't even bother with HP equips unless you're going for a Zak run.
