Best DPS build for Clerics?

The title says it! I need some help and I’m pretty lost :frowning:

That’s…hard to say.
Firstly Clerics aren’t the ones to be pumping out DPS heavy late game- They play a base role in being flexible in either supplying heals when necessary, to just purely pumping out more damage for others. They can do some decent damage, but you’ll pretty much always do less than say an Archer or a Wizard because you weren’t intended on being a prime damage dealer. But Clerics can do nice DPS irregardless, don’t underestimate them.

Secondly, you’d need to figure out if you want to go the INT (magic) or STR (physical) route, as doing both at the same time while possible doesn’t make well for a cohesive build.

Thank you so much for the elaborate response. I am doing INT currently with Priest and it does decent damage I guess I’m looking in a dark alley haha

If you want the most INT DPS… It’ll be Cleric2 > Krivis2 > ? > Druid2? Maybe slip Bokor or something…

Diev C3 Druid PD. Might as well throw in cleric c2 for better cure heal and safety wall

Who build is better Diev 3 or Krivis 3 ? I’m in doubt u.u

Diev 3. krivis c3 melstis is…not that good

Krivis for better trainingbecause of more spammable aoe than owl which also hitd flying enwmies and diev for everything else. Not sure abput pvp but on paper diev looks better.

I would say veritas and that german guy already proved that wrong by dominating the world bosses at the current state of the game.

But yes owls can easily become useless in bosses, carve attack and the debuffs for incineration are still great. Nothing is perfect and it goes for this build as well.

Now when some kriv3 instead of diev3 goes and beats those pesky diev3’s at world bosses I will of course have to change my opinion.

Cleric 1>Krivis 1>Krivis 2> Bokor 1>Bokor 2> Druid 1>Plauge Doc 1

I went 50 con, 50 spr, rest into Int. I might put more into con later on for pvp.

I chose Bokor over Diev because I don’t like how Diev’s statue are stationary and have long CD to build new ones.

With Bokor’s Effigy and Hex (I went with the no zombie build) I have more mobility.

Plauge doctor has good synergy with Bokor also. I would have gone Druid 2 if I did not want to PVP.

Dullahan is easy to solo a cube. Our class literally gets double damage on him due to magic and holy properties making it not even a fair competition for most of the other classes.

Having a party at all, unless it’s a party comprised of multiple buffers to one DPS, is absolutely 100% irrelevant in boss fights. This can’t be argued with the current mechanics of boss drops.

I frequently stream soloing Dullahan and other world bosses with a huge amount of players present, like Starving Ellaganos and Necroventer.

Owls are not useless. Most of the time, world bosses lag from the massive amount of lag and any movement skills they perform end up porting the boss back right next to you. I can’t see something like this being fixed for a long time either.

Bit off topic, but what is your FPS normally for world boss fights? Do you struggle with 5 FPS on your rig?

Usually 2-10 FPS which is just enough for me to get a gauge of where I am, where the boss is, and where I should point my skills.

There’s been one or two instances where due to FPS and the massive amounts of players provided, I’ve missed my Carve throughout the battle being a little too far away from the boss. I have to see if wood carves out of the boss as a hit confirm (weird that you can obtain wood from Dullahan and other similar bosses).

Wait a tic…
<10 FPS for world boss?
When my ToS goes below 15FPS it pretty much crap out and freeze… Not Responding…

Never saw a world boss before x.x

No way a Paladin, Monk or other Cleric STR build sustain a good DPS??

sounds interesting i fully support “fun builds” who actually work pretty well - ive seen owls carry mid range dungeon runs alone to a point where i been happy to have a diev in party search (mid range diev hits like a truck imo like end game ele 3 do) adding druid might really be lotsa fun in wb races or for some quick mob clearing with linker together (played 230+ maps with a linker/alche and a druid 2 together and the druid pretty much carried us) so i at least can confirm that a linker/druid combo is a monster in terms of late game grinding and a good alternative to other dps classes/mixes - never seen a diev 3 druid 2 before tho so i should check your videos

It could be due to a druid using Chortasmata, as that changes mobs to plant type.
