Did they fix cleric leveling?

[Kestrel]

Anyone remember in the original Disgaea - clerics couldn't level unless they scored kills? Did they ever fix this issue?

It wasn't introduced until the second game that Clerics would level by healing

I'm almost 100% sure that you still only get EXP for kills other than from a map Bonus.

[Foefaller]

Yep, kills and map bonuses are still the only ways to get xp.

Just clear the tutorial map a couple timse using your cleric to finish off (bow is probably the easiest, and if you hit rank 3 with the bow, you'll unlock archers) until they have enough mana to create a incompentent mage/skull, then have them learn their spells.

Luckly, heal spells use INT instead of RES to determine the amount healed in this Disgaea, so you should have no problem racking up kills with your healer once he or she gets a offensive spell.

[Kestrel]

Thanks all. Yeah I just level up early clerics with guns.

[Rivet]

Mages and skulls make better healers than clerics due to their higher INT aptitude, best bet is to use them as base characters and use clerics just for learning the spells from.

Make a good-for-nothing star mage with your cleric then learn STAR

I really miss those squads from D5/etc. Get a sage, and you can make everyone in the squad hit 9999 in 1-2 clears of the asagi map. I need that again. :(

until then, I just give the healer magic and a leveled staff, old fashion way I guess.

This. There is no defense for Star magic (besides RES of course), so you can consistently level a cleric by killing monsters

SPOILER: to unlock star mage, you need a lvl5 of each of the 3 mages

Make a good-for-nothing cleric with your star mage then learn HEAL!

Start stacking Armsmaster and get a sword for the healer, and get Winged Slayer. Cave of Ordinance 3 I believe is the best place to level besides clone wars and beauty palace?
