Hello, I have a level 34 cleric, and I really want to max Holy Arrow (I know it sucks but I maxed energy bolt instead of magic claw just to see how it would work.... and I am really regretting it). So do you guys think that mp eater is that good? How about invincible? Thanks for your input

All other skills are a must-max. The only skill you should ever take out of if you want to max Holy Arrow is MP Eater. If you want Holy Arrow that badly, leave MP Eater at 1.

i suggest you max everything exept for holy arrow because holy arrow only has 80 magic attack when maxed which is the same as magic claw.They also have the same casting speed ect.The only difference is that holy arrow is holy and mgic claw isnt

I suggest that you restart now while you are only level 34. Until 3rd job, if you ever want to solo monsters, for quests etc, claw is the only attack skill you will have. Also, don't max HA, its useless.

As much as I HATE holy arrow, and say how useless it is, if you really WANT to max it, leave out mp eater. Looking at your poll, you're thinking about not maxing invincible. Invincibles one of the better skills in your skillbook, which becomes more and more useful as you progress as a priest and bishop. I have friends who maxed holy arrow and openly regret it when maple comes up as a topic of conversation at university (yeah, we're nerds) mp eater saves you a lot of money on pots from your 60's-120 (depending on where you train) while holy arrow hits similar damage to magic claw (and a little bit more that THAT when compared to energy bolt) on a single target with a bad range of attack. If you still want to max holy arrow (and I assume you've done the research) your best bet is to leave out mp eater, as all of your other skills are immensly important. Hope I helped.

Putting points into MP Eater means you won't really need MP pots, which are hella expensive anyway, when training or killing things.

He wants to max it and is asking what skills to take SP from. Let him do what he wants. [quote] JosiahsFriend : I suggest that you restart now while you are only level 34.

He hasn't messed up on anything.. Again, he's not asking for your opinion on Holy Arrow, let him do what he wants.

I'd put 0 sp into bless. I never had to use it anyways, so i ended up just un-hotkeying the skill. Or maybe I left it at like f12 or f11 just for the effect? =|. Either way, I didn't really used it much. Waste of sp imo =/ Or max magic claw instead? Lol. At least you'll have one attack that can go through a platform =x

I suggest remaking a 34 cleric and maxing magic claw this time.
