Cleric build priorities by activity
| Activity | Priority | Common mistake |
|---|---|---|
| Solo leveling | Low downtime, safe pulls, efficient resource use | Using a pure group setup with no personal safety plan. |
| Dungeons | Healing uptime, encounter knowledge, cooldown planning | Reacting late because attention is fixed on damage. |
| Small PvP | Positioning, peel awareness, targeted recovery | Standing in the frontline without an exit route. |
| Large PvP | Group range, defensive timing, team communication | Trying to heal every target instead of prioritizing the fight. |
