Summary
Dark and Darkeris aco-op MMORPGthat focuses on delivering a singular, refined gameplay experience rather than trying to cater to all tastes. It excels at providing players, whether solo or in teams, with classic hack-and-slash dungeon adventures. It is a free-to-play, cooperative dungeon-crawling experience featuring both PvE and PvP elements.
Clerics inDark and Darkercan be either healing and support characters, or built as damage dealers who act as a backup healer. They are especially gifted at taking down undead enemies and can use a wide range of equipment, although they tend to specialize in using a shield and a mace. Furthermore, Cleric is an excellent classfor beginnersto get to grips with.
8Lesser Heal
Basic Targeted Healing Spell
Lesser Heal is the basic targeted healing spell that the Cleric class has access to inDark and Darker. The amount of health restored by this spell is 15 plus the Cleric’s magical healing stat, multiplied by the Cleric’s magic power bonus.
If no target is specified as the target of Lesser Heal, it will target the player that cast it, and become a self-heal. This is one of the staples of a Cleric’s toolset. However, Cleric is aDark and Darkerclassthat can only cast a certain number of a specific spell eachdungeon run. In this case, they can cast up to 3 Lesser Heal spells.
7Bind
Castable Stun
Bind is one of the simplest spells that a Cleric can cast inDark and Darker, but it is a very useful one. However, it takes some skill to use Bind well. All this spell does is lock the target in place for ¾ of a second.
Where Bind is really useful is for tying up the front enemy in a group in a tight space, keeping the rest of the group trapped behind them. It can be stacked and should give the rest of the player’s group time to deal with them. In PvP, Bind can be used to lock down an attacker and escape, or to stop a target that is trying to run away.
6Holy Strike
AoE Magical Attack
Just because Cleric is a healing and support class inDark and Darker, does not mean that certain Cleric character builds can’t put out some decent damage as well. Holy Strike is a good example of excellent Cleric damage potential.
This is an AoE spell that does 20 divine magic damage, over an area of 1 meter. However, there is a ½ second delay between the spell landing and the strike going off. This means timing is critical when casting this spell.
5Holy Light
Self-Heal And Damage In One
Clerics are notoriously capable of taking down undead enemies such as zombies or other monsters. This is a trope that has been tied to the class in many games, includingDungeons & Dragonsin the 5th edition. Holy Light is a demonstration thatDark and Darkerimagines the Cleric in the same way.
On cast, the player is either healed for 25 health or if an undead enemy is targeted, the spell does 100 base damage to the target. The self-healing aspect of Holy Light is increased by the player’s magic healing stat, multiplied by their magical power bonus.
4Sanctuary
A Classic Cleric Spell
Many games that feature a Cleric class also have a Sanctuary spell. This is, in effect, the Cleric’s signature ability. InDark and Darker, Sanctuary creates an AoE of 3.5 meters around the player. Within that area, two things happen. Players within the zone are healed by 5 health every second, and undead enemies are damaged by 14 health per second.
As with most Cleric healing spells, the amount healed is increased by the Cleric’s magic healing stat, multiplied by their magical power bonus. This is a channeled spell, meaning the Cleric can’t move while casting, and it lasts for 5 seconds.
3Locusts Swarm
Channeled AoE Spell
InDark and Darker, the Cleric class can be built to do general damage, rather than damage just against undead creatures. Locust Swarm is a spell that does AoE damage to anything within a 3-meter radius of the casting point.
This is a channeled spell that can last for up to 6 seconds as long as the Cleric doesn’t move. It does 2 divine magic damage to all targets in the area, every second. This damages ticks every 0.1 seconds.
2Earthquake
AoE Earth Spell
Earthquake is the only Earth affinity spell in the Cleric’s arsenal inDark and Darker. This is another channeled spell, so the player can’t move for the 6 seconds it can last, otherwise it will be cut short.
The spall has two functions. Firstly, it creates an earthquake at the target point, and any enemy within that area will take 7 earth magic damage for every step they take within the affected area. Secondly, they are also hit with a 50% movement speed buff.
1Resurrection
The Ultimate Party Support Spell
What can be said about the Cleric spell, Resurrection, inDark and Darker? The name alone tells the player exactly what this spell does. This spell is the reason why it is usually very easy to find a group as a Cleric.
However, this powerful Cleric spell can only be cast once perdungeon crawl. It may only be cast on an ally that has a soul heart as well. Almost every Cleric will rely on this spell at one time or another, although it has zero utility at all for people whoprefer to play solo.
