The title pretty much explains everything, but how is it better than teleport? The only reason I see to max teleport is to reduce mp cost cause the range makes it harder to use in some situations.

It's not better than teleport. ;P IMO, it's useless because it's lame. ;D Plus, you get SR and AR later on, so what's the point of putting sp on holy arrow (Unless you got extra)? And teleport is convenient, and makes it easier to move around. ~ Sorta like haste-ish-ly? Yeah.

It's not that it's useless, it's just that your other skills are more important to max. In order to max Holy Arrow, you'd need to sacrifice points from MP Eater, which is much more useful. Never take any points out from any of your other Cleric skills for Holy Arrow, they're a must-max.

I barely used holy arrow even from 60-172..barely used it.. Basically magic claw took over it. And after 120 its basically useless(angel ray)

Holy Arrow for now isn't all that great unless you want to deal with 1 MPE. From the looks of it, Clerics might be able to max it post-BB.

I max'd HA, and i dont really use it either, but i just did it in cause it gets a power boost after the patch. unlikely but ohh well i took a small hit on teleport, but i dont really use tele either. teleport lvl 16, max MP eatter, heal, and Bless. I dont really see any difference in training compared to other priest.

wont all builds have to be changed after BB? considering the new skills like the tele stun thing and the crits?
