· Minimizing operations other than movement skills by utilizing mouse buttons can increase control feel and reaction speed.
· Marcuta is no longer essential; even with a slight decrease in Rage uptime and DPS, you can utilize useful stigmas for Sanctuary and Rank farming. Taking utility through Crush is also a good option.

2. 🐞 Recent Cleric Bug Status & Macro Settings
· In the past, there were issues with the rotation cooldown reduction bug when using Kill Count - Danit and Marcuta/rotation skipping problems during attack speed increase, but these have been resolved with recent patches.
· However, due to the fix for past attack speed related bugs, the attack speed efficiency in certain sections has decreased. Therefore, it's likely acceptable to mix in rice spells for now.
· When setting up a one-button mouse macro, configure it to press Basic Attack (Kill Count), Skill Macro, and Gale Strike simultaneously. For stability, it's recommended to add a slight delay. Settings may vary depending on the mouse button brand, so check accordingly.
