Cardinal is one of the most popular support builds in the game, as it provides a plethora of supportive buffs and has strong heals. Additionally, due to {{#skill:5269}} scaling off the target's HP, Cardinal can work very effectively as a tank. However, as solo farming is the main activity people do and party play is limited, you will have difficulty gearing or leveling, so I don't recommend this as your first class unless you are playing with a group of friends or a guild. | Cardinal is one of the most popular support builds in the game, as it provides a plethora of supportive buffs and has strong heals.

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!

# 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, so I opt for VCT reduction through Stats rather than gear. This means you will want reduction by getting your ((Dex x 2) + INT) = 530. However, 100% VCT reduction through gear is just as viable, and you can opt for this route as well. | # 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.

DPS Cardinal is a very fun build that provides a mix of supportive abilities and damage that allows you to thrive in both solo play and group play. While you won't be as tanky or have as many supportive abilities as the Full Support Cardinal, you will still have access to some useful buffs and skills like {{#skill:2041}} or {{#skill:54}}. Additionally, Arch Bishop's zero to low fixed cast requirements on | DPS Cardinal is a very fun build that provides a mix of supportive abilities and damage that allows you to thrive in both solo play and group play. While you won't be as tanky or have as many supportive abilities as the Full Support Cardinal, you will still have access to some useful buffs and skills like {{#skill:2041}} or {{#skill:54}}. Additionally, Arch Bishop's zero to low fixed cast requirements on {{#skill:2040}} and {{#skill:5273}} make it fairly newbie friendly. However, due to its main fourth class damage skill being Holy element, you will have to be careful where you level and farm, as you won't be able to damage holy element with it. However, Cardinal's newest skill {{#skill:6518}} should help greatly with this, as you can turn it neutral. You can even use {{#skill:6518}} as your main skill if you would like! | ||
