I’m sorry, but, I can’t give you any insight on PvP, since I don’t do that.
I see. Though, I don’t think Pandemic works well as an aggro. To be honest, I don’t remeber if it aggros the mobs at all. The biggest problem is that, as PD1, you only will benefit Hexing from Bokor with Pandemic (if I am not mistaken), since Incinerate doesn’t spread through Pandemic (there is an attribute that opens a possibility for that to happen, but, it is for PD2; but, it is not with Pandemic).
Yeah, the Krivis-Taoist combo is pretty strong.
Well, I really wanted a Priest character, and, I was debating what to do with that on a build, I thought first about adding Chaplain, for no reason, just to grab all the package, but, I went, started a character, deleted, and went to think again.
In the end, I decided on a similar build to that you remembered, with Cleric 2 - Priest 1 - Krivis 2, but, instead of PD/Oracle - Taoist, I decided on Druid 3.
For me, Priest is a really good class, it offers a bunch of buffs, that do help quite a lot, but, with what I wanted, it wasn’t that good. And, overall, I wanted just the class, be it Circle 1 or Circle 3.
At Circle 1, it offers good utility, and, at Circle 3, this opens open more, and, adds a bit of offensive skills, though, I guess that if you go Circle 3, one of the best moves would be going Chaplain.
I guess Cleric 3 depends pretty much on you, but, I think it should be fine even with 10 tiles (11, if Divine Might is up), with a total of 20 (or 22).
(Having Priest here [any Circle] to cast Blessing for the Heal double hit can help in some cases)
So, if you feel like having, I guess it should pose no problem, but, I would prefer other classes (if they serve you better) in its place.
The Heal effect is quite nice, the costume itself, it wasn’t that good for me.
Yeah, support and DPS offer really fun ways of playing, I myself like to have a bit of both, maybe having more support, or more DPS, depending on what I want in the end. At least, the Cleric tree is pretty versatile with builds (which can be a problem, in certain ways).
I have a Bokor-PD, I like the classes, it went well, at least for me, they are pretty nice to play with, and I have fun. Though, I do like my Diev (which is going to be a Miko, whenever the hype cools down), and Druid (that I am still levelling) as well.
I do have Oracle on my PD, I find it a fun class, but, I can’t say much more, since I didn’t go really deep into it (but, I do believe that it can be good). Maybe in the future though.
I don’t think you would need Agny for all builds, but, if you went PD, you really should get it, since it basically would double your damage (that is pretty decent, even with only Circle 1). But, I guess, depending on the final damage, it can still be good.
Good that you are not in a rush, that means you can take your time deciding, which can be a really tough thing.
But, the Miko part, is just because I think it is better to go doing it over the days, instead of trying everything in a single day.
Overall, I think that Priest, be it Circle 1, 2, or 3, they all are pretty good and have advantages (though, I would look a bit on Chaplain if I did a Priest 3, depending on what my classes/objectives are);
For Krivis, Circle 2 offers extra Zaibas and Daino, but, if you are fine with Circle 1 (since it can handle things quite well), I don’t think it is a problem to have it and focus on a different class/approach.
Everything here is being said keeping PvE in mind.
