Cleric Build
If you are looking for something odd, this is for you.
The Cleric is a very unorthadoxed build, due to the fact that you are away from the action. The main objective is to heal those in your party, and help them to kill more effectively.
With this being said, your merc must be used to combat anything and everything that gets close to you. Don't worry, because with the Prayer/Meditation aura as well as Holy Bolt maxed he will never die.
Skills:
Defensive Skills
Prayer - 20
Cleansing - 1
Meditation - 20 (main aura)
Salvation - 1
Defiance - 15
Vigor - 1
Redemption - 1
Combat Skills
Smite - 1 (remaining go here)
Holy Bolt - 20
Charge - 1
Blessed Hammers - 1
Holy Shield - 20
Smite, can be used as your attack to stun those that get too close, then let your merc take over and kill it.
The skill Meditation give a huge recovery rate to your mana, and all partied with you. On top of that if you max out Prayer, it will also grant a huge recovery to life since it is Meditations synergy.
At clvl 20 meditation looks like this:
Meditation
when active, aura increases mana recovery
for you and your party
Prayer: +25 Life Healed Every 2 Seconds
Current Skill Level: 20
Radius: 36 yards
Mana Recovery Rate: +775 percent
Heals: +25
Now you may be saying to yourself ... "heals 25 life every 2 seconds isn't much, prayer gives more alone." Well, the gear is very +skill oriented which can raise the life regen rate to extreme amounts, and it takes up no mana to heal others, like Prayer does.
On top of that, you can use Holy Bolt to target anyone that needs a quick heal.

Armor - Enigma Dusk, Chains of Honor Dusk, Gardian Angel
