[Brainstorming] Post your Taoist build and why here

Going

cleric2-deiv3-miko-priest-tao

Missing out on zaibas, but gaining kaguradamce and storm calling with physical classes seems really good. Plus Miko works very well with both Tao and deiv but krivis builds can take Miko as well so it’s not that big of a deal.

If anyone else has this build lemme know! Would like to hear how it works out or your reasoning behind it.

the best match on ET partys supp/dps. turret master, put the howl ausrine and meltis & gg izi.

ktos dev mentioned that they will somehow ‘fix’ this combo. It wasn’t intended apparently. But don’t worry this build is very sold now and probably in the future. Just add miko later for diev3 synergy.

I have

Cleric3/Krivis3/Kannushi/Taoist
Cleric1/Priest3/Krivis3/Taoist <-- leveling this one currently.

I also have

Cleric2/Priest3/Chaplain/PD2
Cleric2/Diev3/Kannushi/PD2

I know that the first one would be much better if I went Cleric2 and PD1 instead but I like to make builds look clean and I like the extra heal of Cleric3.

The second one I’m clearly sure that instead of going Priest3 it’s better to go Priest2 since I’m int cleric. Instead of going Priest3 I could’ve added Cleric2 or Miko or PD1 but again I like clean builds and you can never go wrong with higher Blessing/Revive/Mass Heal. I really struggled between Cleric2/Priest2 and Cleric1/Priest3 but thought I wanted to try the harder way but more interesting way.

what are u referring to and can u link any source to back ur claim ? what combo and whats to fix o.o ?

The Krivis3 skill Melstis and Deiv3 skll Ausrine or I can’t remember the name the one that gives you immunity. Those two combos make your teammates invincible for a long time. I haven’t tried the build myself. But on the Cleric forum of Korean inven people posted that it’s gonna get nerfed eventually on Japanese server or something.

its ausrine , meltis is the chanelling

Kinda stupid nerfing it when its 2 diff class o.0

They already nerf diev owl limit because of miko clap which is unfair to diev players without miko =S

I think you set up ausrine then people get the invincibility and you do melstis so that your teammates are invincible for a long time. I haven’t tried this build myself plus I already have Diev3 and Diev3+Miko is amazing however I hate Diev3 play style. I found one link to the info of possible nerf

krivis c3, cleric c2 miko r7??? taoist

Plague doctor or priest or kaba??

why ppl keep choosing priest? is not a waste of time just for ressurection??

EDIT: On top of Resurrection and in the context of your need for more DPS while being an almost guaranteed high/full INT character… from your thread: Pls RATE/HELP my TAOIST BUILD


Like I explained in your other thread. People keep choosing Priest because of the way Blessing makes your Heal [double-hit]. With a Krivis 3 - Taoist, you are most likely heavy if not pure INT. Zaibas double dips on INT as well as Heal and Cure. Most if not all of your DPS comes from multiple hits. INT scales with Blessing (less than SPR though). So it’s an overall increase no matter what and your Hamaya will also enjoy the free + damage.

Resurrection and Monstrance are just bonuses.


Your combo will be Divine Might then Sweep (raises the Level of Hamaya and Zaibas by the way), then Storm Call, Zaibas, Zaibas, Hamaya.

You can re-Divine Might then Heal, Heal, Cure. You’re almost guaranteed a dead boss at this point. You’ll see just why Heal is being used for DPS these days instead of healing once you try to “bomb” enemies with it while under Blessing.

they go priest for rez also full con is best krivis 3 is a meltis bot

no… ppl go priest bcoz of ress
not blessing or some other shet skill in priest1

He thinks that Priest is only useful for Resurrection and that’s why he feels it’s a waste.

Priest 1 also offers Monstrance, which I already told him helps support DEX chars (which is meta these days). He has Daino for sure as he’s Krivis 3 so there should be no issue with buff limits.

The extensive use of Blessing for self DPS is in addition to all that Priest 1 has to offer, not just plain old Resurrection. If he’s just going to PUG, he won’t ever have a use for that Resu (people just revive on their own ASAP).


Note that in the context of his question, his build is for a Krivis 3 - Taoist, with no implication of party play or ET (he didn’t mention what it’s for).


Here’s his other thread: Pls RATE/HELP my TAOIST BUILD

He was yearning for more damage. He’s definitely not going CON + Melstis botting.

Thank u for all the helo and reply,but my problem is, i will have just lvl5 blessing… ok i know its scales with int,but is a lvl 5 blessing not 15.when ppl invite me for stuff i think they will consider me dps.and probably have other sup using buffs

Having taken priest on my Inquisitor I can say that I barely use res unless something goes wrong in et, and the blessing doesn’t really factor Into my rotation because I have so many things going on.

Pardoner buffs usually last me long enough to finish what I was doing before I come back to fedi.

Now what I will say is that I picked priest specific for monstrance since my comp has physical DPS and I play with archers as well as swordies and a few monks. And having that buff on tap is really REALLY nice for damage. Helping out toons with Dex goes a long way for having consistent crit rate witch = moar damage.

Blessing making heal 2 hits is a factor yes but I (for better or worse ) haven’t utilized that aspect as much as I should so I find less value in it.

Now I just so happen to be making a taoist myself and I was contemplating the same thing, having taken priest on my inquisitor im yearning for something…more useful. Going for more PvE and ET groups. Not PVP

Going Cleric2>Krivis3>Miko>X>Tao

Kabba- Einsof and revenge,are nice but if im going to be a melstis bot kestia pots and unroasted blue gems seems like they would get me by. Also ein sof’s uptime is horrid. Barely keeping up with fencers, and other sp hogs.

Oracle - Counter spell, farming skills, prophecy, arcane energy. Really nice one circle kit but nothing really stands out apart from counter spell. arcane energy works against melstis and farming has moved towards fast dpk killing rather than 2-5 hour long resetting sessions. On the upside counter spell works wonders in fantasy library and other hard instances/WB.

PD- Blood letting, incinerate , healing factor pandemic. Rank 2 debuff cure and healing factor makes me a tank witch ensures survival to continue healing/ DPS. incinerate is off hand DPS witch can be fueled by torch and zalcai. Pandemic is weak without circle 2 and giving up other skills for damage that youll never use because your channeling is kinda a let down. also lvl 5 incinerate seems like it would fall off hard against high M def mobs, without black death steam.

Deivderbys- Statues. No one seems to put this here but I would think this would be really good. you get essentially 100% uptime with SP and CD statues, you just don’t get owls and ausirine, witch wasn’t your job anyway unless you went deiv3/krivis3. Seems really weak in anything outside of defense or long boss fights though.

Pardoner seems nice but magic defense scales off spr and gohei is pretty reliable for debuff removal, druid circle 1 seems pretty medium, I would rather take pd instead if I wanted more damage, cleric 3 is actually pretty interesting as you can guardian saint and melstis it up to make sure someone doesn’t bite the dust although its pretty impractical. Only other option is getting rid of miko for something else like druid 2. But I don’t think miko can be passed up so easily.

I think you should take a rank of priest and go full con if your focus is solmiki. Your right about priest only being good if things go wrong but when you start to go up 10-20 floors in this buggy game things will go wrong.

i go druid2 becoz transform is toooooo gooood

especially when other druid3 in party

x2 matk x2 atk x2 max hp

I was thinking about druid 2 but im unfamiliar with the whole transform thing. Sterra trouf is godlike tho.ill admit. @Planeptune

@Plasmagica that’s why I took priest on my inqui but I kinda want to round out this toon for pvm as well, where the res is completely useless. So im outing priest for this build.
