For the cleric build, I don't recommend maxing heal first because you will be training in spots that don't have healable mobs. IMHO Spell Mastery is by far higher in the priority list because you need to stablize and increase your magic damage. Plus the monsters HP will keep getting higher and higher the more you go on, and having zero Spell Mastery makes it very bad to train on those mobs. Also, healable mobs are no good until 50, which reinforces my opinion even more.
Heal at best, should be maxed 2nd, with a few points thrown into Invincible here and there to reduce damage even further.
I have to disagree. I went heal first and was able to go to Rotting Skeletons from level 30 -> 45, then Scarecrows from level 45 until 49 (currently 49, only spent about an hour or less at Scarecrows before disconnecting for the HACK reason and calling it a night) within a few hours. For any version without Haunted House, I'd agree, but Haunted House provides a very nice training area for early Clerics.
You don't need the extra stable damage, because Rotting Skeletons are only level 20, and you should be able to OHKO them with a fairly low level heal. Work on maxing Heal from 30 -> 40, then work on maxing Mastery from 40 -> 45. You'll have max Mastery AND Heal by the time you enter Scarecrows.
Though, I do have a comment to make on the guide. You need 5 Invincible before you can put anything into Bless. Also, I'd recommend getting level 1 MP eater at the point where it says to get level 1 Holy Arrow. Holy Arrow really doesn't help much. If you're looking for a single target move to get rid of a monster that didn't die in your mob, it's faster to just heal them or Energy Bolt/Magic Claw. The extra MP from level 1 eater isn't too much, but it's a nice boost for anyone that wants to save a potion or two every few heals.
