agree with you… i dont want my priest pala to be the best… i just want it functional… and safe if any changes comes up… currently im still sitting in priest 3… and ill just take pal maybe… to get barrier by rank 8… couz if i take chaplain now… i cant take barrier… 
for str… I’ll get that from gear later on… stats right now all spr… my build in priest line is for spr users… and i have no problems with it… with “3k hit per dmg line or more in a 200k dungeon mob… :D”
I don’t plan to solo not unless if its lower dungeons… and to many other meta classes running around already… what’s the harm for a little uniqueness??
I made a a wiz that can work with any class if they pop up on the match queue and work with their skills with what i have… I prefer my classes to be filler on what people take for meta…
I asked opinions and if someone did make this kinds of builds… that i can learn a bit more from them too…
thanks for everyone who delivered to the table as much info as you can cram in here…
yes i took account also about the beast/large / and knock-back, resist and also those pesky archers that do the flips to enter a barrier…
I pick skills base on situation and not all the time usage but will be used on a specific time…
I also have a diev 3 pd and i understand what they are capable as of now…
I wanted to make something different… that’s why i try to explore other combinations. even if its under powered as long as still functional I’ll use it…
well we cant satisfy everyone who likes a functional build and for meta… that’s your opinions… i respect it…
just be open to others who are willing to take time to try and test uncommon builds… 
Note:Been playing since open beta, hiatus and was back to another server for 3 months… in a new team name, team event, with 8 character slots currently… I’ve re-rolled 330’s if I don’t feel the play style… and stayed with a few 330’s with unconventional builds but still functional…
Been a priest pardoner, diev. pd, diev,pal combinations
been archerwugimusket, QSwugifalc, rangerfletch
been peltbarbsquire, meta dopp, hopdrag,
been to every wiz tree except for feather foot…
yes i have weirder combinations that i liked and stayed for me to use in a regular basis… because i like to roleplay my characters to the point I want to scratch my head making the skill tree functional for usage…
at-least now some of you know i am struggling here but I enjoyed my efforts from the ground up for my builds… 
and i advice to anyone who read this be open to choose not for meta but for yourself… i just did 1 meta for ET that’s it… nothing else… purely out of my enjoyment are my other characters…
