<div id="ygrps-yiv-403348343">Well, I think once you analyze what spells are in the alteration sphere, you will see it is important to have it as your specialty: healing, ressurrection, gate, atone, fear line, pacify line.  It by far has the best and most used spells.  Besides, if you need to cast spells in combat (root, gate, atone, healing, fear), don&#39;t forget that regaining your concentration is based on specialization skill.  I can&#39;t say for sure where my specialization skill is, around 225 or so, but I know I can pretty much count on my gate, even if I&#39;m getting annihilated, and it&#39;s nice when you need to root in melee combat.<br/>

  Subject: [EQ-Clerics] The specialize skill<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
  A question for all you level 50 clerics, or at least clerics above level 30...  what is the best school of magic to specialize in?   My initial thought is that I would want to specialize in alteration since that is the school that the healing spells are in and I think I use the healing spells more than any other...  Somebody else suggested that I put one practice point into each school and just go with whichever one increases over 50 first... the theory being that whichever one goes over 50 first is probably the one I use the most.   Does anybody else have any ideas reguarding which school is best to specialize in?<br/>
  I am level 29, about half way to 30... so I will soon be facing this choice.  Thanks!<br/>
