Quick Answer
Cleric value is not topping everyone to full; it is preventing misses, deaths, and bad turns. Life is safer for recovery, while Light adds strong prevention and area pressure.
Recommended Route
| Stage | What To Do | Watch Out |
|---|---|---|
| Low levels | Prepare Bless, Healing Word, and Sanctuary | Healing Word is for pickups, not topping bars |
| Midgame | Use Spirit Guardians with movement | Protect concentration |
| Gear | Prioritize armor, concentration, and healing triggers | Do not chase spell DC only |
| Party | Coordinate with Fighter or Paladin positions | Keep enemies inside your aura |
Key Checks
- Bless often prevents more damage than a small heal restores.
- Pick up downed allies at range, then move them out.
- After casting concentration spells, positioning matters more than extra damage.
