| + | Ben Mallahan is a whiny bitch. |
| − | Valuable in parties, Clerics are masters of [[healing]] magic. Clerics have a limited selection of attack spells and may also equip decent weapons. Clerics are well-rounded, much like [[Ranger|Rangers]]. Clerics err slightly on the side of magic though, which is reflected by superior natural Intelligence and MP growth when compared to a [[Ranger]]. In spite of being limited to cloth armors, Clerics have the best natural physical defense of the four mage classes ([[Conjurer]], [[Wizard]] and [[Warlock]] being the other three). They can be a fair shot with their weapon too if built for physical battle via appropriate equipment and skill point investment, although they will never be the equal of a similarly designed [[Ranger]], [[Ninja]], [[Merchant]] or [[Soldier]].

| − | Clerics can equip [[Staves]] and [[Daggers]]. They are limited to [[Light Armor]]. In their [[Off-hand]] slot Clerics can equip [[Jewelry]].

| |
| − | | |
| − | Skill Trees are the basis of leveling and customizing your character in NEStalgia. The skill tree menu unlocks at level 5 and at that point the player will be able to customize their character with available skill points. There are two ways to gain additional points:
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Gain an experience level, which grants one point.<BR>
| |
| − | *Progress through the plot of the game, which grants one point after completing the main quest connected to Verity's lighthouse and an additional point after completing the main quest connected to the Arctic's ice palace.<BR>
| |
| − | | |
| − | As of v1.68 this allows for a maximum of 30 points to spend.

| − | ====Support Tree Overview====
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Support Tree, as the name implies, is focused almost exclusively on healing or preventing damage. [[Goodnight]] and [[Nightmare]] are the only attacking options in this tree, allowing Clerics to support their group by incapacitating enemies, then dealing large amounts of single-target magical damage to them, although this uses a great deal of MP.
| |
| − | | |
| − | As well, [[HealMost]] and the many Healing-oriented passive skills allow the Cleric to perform their class's primary role more effective, by healing off the damage taken by their party members in battle effectively, and with sufficient investment you can even make the more expensive skills such as [[Redeem]] and [[HealWave]] more practical to use in any fight.

| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Wrath Tree Overview====
| |
| − | | |
| − | Compared to the Support Tree, the Wrath Tree is much more offense-oriented, which can seem somewhat odd. However, there are a number of skills that can be surprisingly useful to a Cleric who intends to spend less time healing, and more time preventing damage in the first place with their arsenal of instant-kill and poisonous abilities. Zeal can be used to recover MP from a successful Smite or Judgement, but the high cost and low default success rate of these skills makes it impractical to use reliably in combat. However, the Desecrate skill will also result in the Cleric recovering their magic power, which is a possibility that should not be taken lightly, due to its practicality in battles with many opponents.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Failing that, the Cleric can instead opt towards a more Poison-oriented build, using Toxify, Contaminate, and Venomous Strikes to debilitate opponents and increase their own damage.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == [[Abilities]] ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Abilities are skills that the player can use both inside and outside of battle. These abilities will either be bought on the skill tree using skill points or will be learned automatically once the player hits a certain level.
