An Intermediate Guide to Clerics

@mario_st Yeah i think you have a point here, looks like i Will be surrending to AA meta, you know how much an good geared AA can dps?

It is bellow Monk single target and the S3-PD2 potential AOE behave as pure dps, but adds a lot of dmg to their party, pluss healing like a god and have nice situational buffs depending on R7 you pick.

it is a good jack of all trades and there are 3 or 4 flavours than can work:

C2-P3-CH-Miko-Inq --> Good aoe, wheel+kagura, gohei, broom for lvl+1tilesā€¦
C2-P3-CH-PD-Inq --> Good heal factor, pandemic, inmunitiesā€¦even couple points into incineration for some more aoe.
C2-P3-CH-PD2 -->Best aoe, spread like madā€¦still works fine with SPR due to bless on multi hits.
C2-P3-CH-Kr-Inq -->Cheap to keep, daino without scrolls, more crits on party, aukuras for debuff on mobs and buff on party, magic amplification (some, not much but still)

All are viable and provide nice stuff to groups. even with bokor for Mdef debuff from Hex and tank 9 zombies to deal out some more aoe could work (tested yesterday with full SPR zombies hit for around 1-3k per hit from each, with my crap +9 cata club without gems yet, with full SPR)

Hi guys, Iā€™m in search for a suggestion. iā€™m looking for a magic attack build wth Miko and no AA. Do you think bokor/PD without zombies would be viable? I tried it briefly but it consume an awful lot of mana for relative dmg.
Any other suggestion?

Iā€™ve been searching for such too for one of my alts but i only came up with: C2-D1-S3-PD2 that iā€™m comfortable withā€¦no miko combinations iā€™m happy with if not chap inq.

Zombies are needed even for Dambala, for which you need C3, PD2 spread with hex and effigy could do (specially when we get burn out at 5 instead of 3), will need for sure SP pots like crazy and in boss fights where you miss yur zombies unless they respawn from dambala attri you will again be in less dmg, but still good.

like @dragonfeian sayd, I wanted a full int build for clerics, magic damage and sruff, more for a solo playing. What build do good? I know PD is not that good butā€¦ my last cleric is still there without a build ā€˜ā€“ā€™

@mario_st yeah, I found out more or less the same thing. I tried C2 > D1 > S3 > Miko > Tao but I didnā€™t understand it, which is my way to say that it did ā– ā– ā– ā– . Going Chap means going hybrid AA, unless C2 > P3 > Chap > Miko > Tao is somehow viableā€¦ andI think it is not, since you wonā€™t have damage beside some low cd skills, am I right?

@SrRaposo as Mario said, if itā€™s just full int go Sadhu. Even a simple C3 > S3 > K2 makes wonders nowaday. My problem is keeping the miko :frowning:

Main reason to go Taoist with Sadhu is to take advantage of the Talisman that has a Fade Effect (Dark Sight), also increases DMG of your melee party members with the Attribute for Storm Calling, this is a video showcasing the build:

Cleric C2 > Diev > Sadhu C3 > Miko > Taoist

thing is miko is:

Wheel + kjagura which is mele or diev statues which are nerfed and arrow which is good but not huge aoeā€¦ so not best sinergiesā€¦

C2-B3-Miko-PD2 couldā€¦ maybeā€¦ do not so bad, havent tested so i canā€™t be 100% sureā€¦

Havent seen much of ā€œmikoā€ skills xcept some from time to time hamaya and random goheisā€¦ being casted in the whole videoā€¦ no miko part is important in such thats why idd say pick something else that is not miko

Rank 7 can be replaced with anything itā€™s just that in the video she used Miko but it can be whatever youā€™d like.

That is the reason, miko is not providing the ā€œbestā€ from my point of view to that build, and as such i would notput miko thereā€¦ i would go for Kaba if you take Tao as r8, hp and sp regen are welcome in a full int build when not much SPR and also not much CONā€¦ also merkaba dealsā€¦ reasonable even at c1 kabba as full int and r7 for pvp as sadhu is a good option.

Yeah kinda sad Miko is sort of a waste most of the time (the only combo Iā€™ve seen so far that it works is just to use Kagura+Wheel), all that effort in the hidden quest for nothing :confused: , not even Diev+Miko is that good anymore since the nerfs for both of them.

@Heartless thatā€™s an interesting playstyle, even though miko is there more for style than anything and the cost f tao paper would make me poorer than I already am :smiley:

@mario_st I tried C2 > B3 > Miko > PD2 but my shitty equip fakes the test. My feeling is that effigy + Black Death Steam can carry you around, but one must have some crazy weapon to optimize the sp cost of effigy (and add some SPR instead of going full INT)

Good news for you, the cost of the Taoist Paper is getting reduced! itā€™s 50 silver each in ktos instead of 500, we just have to wait until the patch arrives here (soonā„¢).

oh i seeā€¦ I just want something that allows me to farm and sinse PDā€™s damage is kind of meh, where else the damage could come from? only sadhu?

Yeah, ABE and TP which makes everything else on steroids.

@Heartless I read it and hoping it happens soon. Itā€™s kinda sad what happened to
the miko (even though almost all the hidden classes are kinda disappointing, appraiser apart). Maybe I can give the tao another run, tonight my idea was to try S3 > Miko > Inq, tomorrow Iā€™ll respec it.
Problem is that with a damn cata club +6 everything does 0 dmg which makes it difficult to test :confused:

@Heartless so in ktos taoist is now viable for dps ? you will be spending 150 silver ish for skill, but the damage is pretty ok i think

It basically allows you to spam their abilities more often so it becomes more viable rather than a situational dark sight or storm calling for bosses.

Basically you could possibly use them for every pack if you want to so yeah overall damage is increased indirectly since you can spam them more.

@SrRaposo PD DMG is actually good as long as you go PD2 to get Black Death Steam, if you leave it at PD1 itā€™s more of a filler utility rank, Black Death Steam + Pandemic gives you a HUGE aoe, on top of your already huge aoes from Sadhu.

Cleric C2 > Diev > Sadhu C3 > PD2 Full INT could possibly be the best aoe cleric right now, magical too which is what you want.

Armor removal effect works on mobs, although Iā€™m not sure what is its effect now. I myself is taking 1 point of it as an extra debuff for Incin anyway (I have Miko so I can remove most PvE buffs the boss can have with Gohei)

You only need 5-6 points in Healing Factor to have 100% up time ((5 + Diving Might) after that itā€™s not worth leveling it further since even at that level you can basically tank a bunch of dungeon mobs and still come out laughing.

The gain per level is so little itā€™s not worth 14 skill point unless you really have nothing else to put on, yes.

  1. Blessing first for sure (cheap + universal), after that probably get Heal (godly scaling wth Blessing on) and Steam (your best AoE especially with Pandemic), though you can probably spare some points on your other damage skills here n there.

  2. Yes, the bonus on Incin is still very noticable, and unless you want those CON/SPR/MDef from Peta Agny is still one of if not the best damage increasing neck.

Oh is that so? I would go for PD2 yes. The thing tht was making me afraid to go for this build was when I was doing something and saw a PD using Black Death Steam looked just bad heh. Iā€™ll try this build thank you very much ^^

You could try it out and if you donā€™t like it just reset again, we still got a week full or resets after all, Iā€™m a Chaplain > PD2 and Black Death Steam is so good with only Blessing and Iā€™m full SPR so Iā€™m only counting on Blessing + Attribute for the DMG.

Maybe with full INT and Transmit Prana it should do pretty nice damage, also remember to carve Laima and use Transmit Prana while in the effects of Laima, that way Transmit Prana has a downtime of only 5 seconds instead of 20, since that skill is really valuable for Sadhu.
