Due to it being full support, Cardinal focuses more heavily on stats and bonuses that other classes might not focus as much on. Cardinal is also a pretty flexible build, so you can adjust your build according to what works best for you! Whether you want to be the tankiest cardinal on the server, buff your friends 10 times per second, or have the strongest heal you can have, it's totally up to you. However, here is how I, personally, prioritize my stats: | Due to it being full support, Cardinal focuses more heavily on stats and bonuses that other classes might not focus as much on.

# Cast Time Reduction: Generally, your goal will be to reach instant cast or near instant cast in the end game, so you will want to make sure you have enough FCT Reduction and VCT Reduction. Due to the +17 int and dex provided by {{#skill:2041}} and the stats you can afford not indexing into damage, I opt for VCT reduction through Stats rather than gear. This means you will want reduction by getting your ((Dex x 2) + INT) = 530. | # Cast Time Reduction: Generally, your goal will be to reach instant cast or near instant cast in the end game, so you will want to make sure you have enough FCT Reduction and VCT Reduction.

# Tankiness: Overall, HP and resists, are super effective on Cardinal. Since {{#skill:5269}} scales off the target's HP, your healing will scale off your own HP if you cast it on yourself. Additionally, since you won't be sacrificing stats for damage, you can afford to invest in tank stats. | # Tankiness: Overall, HP and resists, are super effective on Cardinal.

# After Cast Delay Reduction: Many of a Cardinal's main supportive abilities have zero to low cooldowns but high after cast delay. For example, {{#skill:54}} has 0 cooldown but 3s After Cast Delay. As such, After Cast Delay Reduction is a stat that I index very highly into. | # After Cast Delay Reduction: Many of a Cardinal's main supportive abilities have zero to low cooldowns but high after cast delay.
