To be honest, I don’t find that reddit’s compilation good. Not that the builds listed are bad, but he says it’s builds “viable for PvE” yet I feel it’s missing a lot of builds~
The thing is that PD2 is pretty much independent and all-around good. So it can farm by itself already. If you want to mostly solo or farm though, you’ll want skills that help you kill faster while not burning your SP too fast between your PD’s cooldowns and so you can save a bit on your SP.
Diev 1 or Bokor 1 are both good fillers. Diev 1 is there so you can save on warps, and for the utility: Laima to reduce cd while slowing down enemies a bit, Zemyna so you can reduce your SP regen time and slightly reduce how much SP you spend. Bokor is for the extra quick low cd DPS. It depends on what you want/need or even your personal taste, they’re truly both worth it as fillers.
If you go Sadhu 3 after though, the beauty of Diev 1 is that it helps you keep your Transmit Prana longer. Transmit Prana at level 6 lasts 60 seconds for a 80s cd, with Laima this cooldown is reduced to 64 seconds. So instead of staying 20 seconds without Transmit Prana, you stay 4 seconds only without it.
So while Bokor gives you direct extra DPS, Diev allows you to reduce your cooldowns and to use your attacks more often.
PD works with pretty much any build. It’s not particularly an amazing synergy between PD and Chaplain, it’s just that PD adds a lot to any build.
Priest + Chaplain is mostly a buffer/support, even though it also has a few attacks. PD will add extra great support and amazing DPS, turning Chaplain-PD into a balanced all-around build.
I don’t really see the point of Krivis 1-Bokor 3-PD2 tbh, same for Krivis 2-Sadhu 3. I suppose Krivis 2-Sadhu 3 is just for extra damages, buffs, and they like Krivis. Usually if one goes Krivis-Sadhu they want to go 3 and 3 so Kirivs’ Melstis will increase the duration of Sadhu’s TP and at the same time you get good extra damages and utility.
Technically, no, but imho it is now since the statues don’t last long anymore. Diev without Miko can only have two Owls up, Diev-Miko can have 5 Owls up at once, eternal Carving Tree and other statues. In long static fights it’s pretty amazing and useful (also makes you save SP).
For PvE yes, usually. If PD is taken as a filler for a Palinquisitor or if it’s mixed with Chaplain, usually people go STR or SPR instead though.
Difficult to say since PD works well with everything. Priest-Chaplain would make you needed and useful in pretty much any scenarios, you’d be SPR too so you wouldn’t need to worry about your SP.
The other builds might not be as versatile but Sadhu will bring you good extra damages/boost, while Diev is useful and can easily solo about anything.
If you don’t want any regret, you should look what classes sound fun to you. Do you like the idea of carving ? Do you not care if Diev is a more static class ?
Do you like Sadhu’s boost, the idea of taking your soul out to explode it, and Possession’s CC ?
Do you like Bokor’s evil theme, the idea of cursing and tormenting your enemies, having your own zombies harem ?
Do you want to be able to be a strong support while still doing damages ?
PD honestly and truly works well with almost anything, so for your ranks 3 to 6 you can have the luxury of simply taking what sounds fun/interesting to play for you.
