All of us have AA's that we have gotten that we use all the time and wish we had gotten sooner as they make our task easier.   If you have a few like that you would like to share with others clerics, please post here.  Lets help our younger clerics grow up with a few words of wisdom on aa's from all of us.

I know radient cure and divine arbitration are two I use every group several times a night or day.

I wish I had that sooner too

I agree with Caeni that I use Radiant Cure daily. It cures the group of most illnesses and poisons. If it hasn't repopped in time, the cleric 1.5 epic shield can often get rid of those nasty Dots too.

Like Caeni, I also use Divine Arbitration (DA) frequently.
- If I am casting a complete heal and see that it isn't going to make it in time, I sit (to stop the complete heal) and click on DA to level out the hp in the group. Then I usually follow that with a group heal.
- Since it is much faster than casting even a quick heal, DA also works great if a low hp group member suddenly gets aggro from the mob.
- Another time it comes in handy is when you have a puller that FDs and is very low on hp. If you can get fairly close enough to the FDer and not close enough to the mob(s) to get aggro, you can click on DA, the mobs don't recognize it as a heal and the FDer is less likely to die when they stand up again.

Mass Group Buff is great for raiding. It saves lots of mana when doing the before-battle buffs, and can be used to mass heal or mass regen during the battle.

Celestial Regeneration is another one of my favorite AAs. It is a group hp regen and comes in handy especially when I am low on mana.

Of course all of the Spell Casting Subtlety type of AAs are good to keep the mobs from noticing all of your healing. Also, the Healing Gift, Healing Adept, etc. type of spells make your healing more effective. These are all great because they are passive and don't have to be clicked.

One last AA that I appreciate is the Mnemonic Retention (extra spell slot). You can never have enough spell slots!

Another keeper (small 'k')

The AA I use very day is Divine Ressurection. On bad days, I use this just to get back an extra 4 % xp. On good days I use it to make someone's day a bit brighter before I log. On raids, I use this to restore one deserving soul to full health/mana/end - pulling bards, buffing shammies, tanks needing to get back into the swing. The cleverest use I ever found was on a raid where there was a mana drain that was a big pain in the pool. I had already died once so I carefully left something on the corpse. When I had nearly depleted my mana, I divine rezzed myself and had all my mana back. Made a big difference in the outcome.
