As a Cleric and especially while leveling either in group or in solo play, avoid focusing on 
Sustained Guard, as your primary strategy relies on dodging and sprinting. Instead, start by prioritizing 
Escape Velocity to boost your sprinting speed in combat (default key C). This becomes essential later on, allowing you to kite enemies during cooldowns or escape danger quickly.
Next, invest in 
Recuperation Training and Evasive Maneuver to increase your dodge evasion rate. These upgrades also unlock 
Springstep, significantly enhancing your mobility by improving dodge distance.
Finally, use any remaining points on Guard Training to lower stamina costs when blocking (default key E). Adding 
Mental Fortification can also be useful, as it reduces your chance of being crowd-controlled (CC’d) while blocking, which can help in specific situations.
Rotations
AOE Leveling Rotation ↴
- This is the main rotation you should use when grinding mobs and AOE farming in order to level up quickly. Especially powerful when solo, but also very strong when in a group. Make sure you have
Bless Weapon active on yourself at all times as it adds a lot of extra damage to your attacks.
- Once you've gathered mobs together using your Book auto-attacks, you should switch your weapon to the melee Greatsword so you can hit all mobs at once with your auto-attacks between casting abilities, constantly dealing extra damage between skills. Cast a quick
Soothing Glow for some healing to negate damage taken and healing yourself. Channel 
Chains of Restraint on top of all mobs before using Consecrating Wave to deal AOE damage.
- Continue the rotation with
Judgment on whatever mob is still at high HP before using Soothing Glow to maintain your health. Finish off the mobs with Divine Flare.
Single Target DPS Rotation ↴
- Use this quick rotation to kill single mobs. Make sure that you have Bless Weapon active before doing anything else though! You should be using this whole rotation in melee range using a Greatsword.
- Use Soothing Glow to apply a HoT (Healing over Time) buff on yourself before using
Smite in melee range so you negate the cast time. Use Judgment next with Consecrating Wave to kill off the mob.
Consumables
While leveling, make sure to also use the appropiate level consumables, starting with 
Novice Scroll of Adventuring Experience at level 1 & 
Apprentice Scroll of Adventuring Experience at level 10 before working up to 
Journeyman Scroll of Adventuring Experience once you reach level 20. Level 20 is also where you can start using 
Elixir of Intelligence for extra damage but also extra healing amount while 
Fruit Salad can be used from level 1 to the max.
