Is a healer necessary in Spiritwish?

Now let’s talk about the cons…

With a Cleric, you’ll be eating through mana potions to keep your team alive. This is a huge gold sink but at the same time you save money on health potions. So really in terms of gold it’s almost equal to not having a Cleric. The money you would be spending on health potions goes to mana potions.

When you initially get a Cleric, it won’t be too useful until you get a stronger weapon or level up skills. Due to the nature of the heals being based on weapon attack and scaling heavily based on skill level, you won’t see much return on investment until mid to late game. This is a deterrent as you will have essentially a wasted slot until later on whereas a DPS or Tank character can provide instant value.

What if I don’t use a Cleric?

If you don’t use a Cleric I can see three major downsides.

• PvP difficulties
• No utility (Revive / Buffs)
• PvE difficulties late game

In PvP, if your team composition doesn’t 1 shot the enemy right out of the gate then you will likely die if they have a Cleric or Defender. Additionally, you won’t have any buffs for your team. Divine Harmony, Blessing and Revive are all great for PvE and provide a lot of mileage when leveling. Also, If I didn’t have a Cleric at late game, I’m not sure how I would survive. Health potions are on almost a minute cooldown and if your team is relying on them then they better be killing mobs fast enough to survive.

My recommendation is to have at least one support character

With the above being said, I do recommend that you at least take one support character. The Time Mage has a shield that mitigates damage and can increase your movement speed and attack speed to kill mobs faster. The Paladin has a heal and attack damage buff that can help your team survive and kill faster as well.

I used to run Paladin, Arbalist, Dual Wielder but found it troubling to survive at times. Replacing my Arbalist with a Cleric was a choice I didn’t regret. I’ll post pictures of my Cleric M for reference below for you to see.
