Cleric
The best healer in Norrath — unmatched in divine magic.
Role: Healer / Buffer / Resurrector
Core Description
Clerics are the undisputed masters of healing in EverQuest. They wear plate armor for survivability and channel divine magic to heal wounds, cure ailments, and protect allies from harm. No other class comes close to the Cleric's raw healing throughput.
EQL-Specific Cleric Changes
🆕 Cleric — Most New Spells of Any Class
Cleric received the most new spells of any class in EQL. Complete Heal has been replaced by Promise Renewal (0.25 sec cast — nearly instant). New heal lines added including a fast cast heal and a Promised healing line with HOT components. New group heal options. Clerics remain the unquestioned best healers in the game, now even more versatile.

Stat Priorities
- Wisdom (WIS): Mana pool. The Cleric's most important stat.
- Stamina (STA): HP. Plate-wearing clerics can take hits.
- Dexterity (DEX): Reduces spell fizzle.
- Intelligence (INT): Less important — Cleric casts from WIS pool.
Why Cleric in Christy's Combo?
Cleric provides the healing backbone for the duo. Her 96% rezzes + your Paladin's rezzes = safety net. Cleric plate + Promise Renewal makes the entire combo much more durable. Meanwhile, Necromancer DoTs and Wizard nukes provide all the damage you need.
