Just stopping by to give a friendly reminder that ReportofAusterity’s advice is beyond terrible, and everyone should ignore it.
Priest C1 and Kabbalist C1 are excellent choices for any support-oriented build.
As people have said Priest C1 is invaluable for resurrection in ET. If your group doesnt have resu and someone dies on 30F+ they will have to walk up 10+ floors, and given ET’s time limits that is most likely a failed run.
I think u never been in Solmiki more than once or u doing it with stable party, cuz most of ppl dont have this possibility, and yes priest res or revive can save the day, If you do not know it, you’ve never done Solmiki ;/
They should ignore your advice to ignore other people, that’s propaganda and a thing only unenlightened humans do.
How can you call my comment even an advice, I never adviced someone to do something,
I just stated what I think about the skills/equipment and how to make most use of them.
People are their own mental entities, they are not controlled by someone, and everyone on this forum has to agree that you can disagree or agree with some statements.
However, your insight on the game has nothing to do with the truth, it’s an opinion with the same weight behind it as mine. So you can’t just tell someone to ignore my perception and accept someone elses as if it’s the revelation of the century or the universal truth.
I’ve laid down my insights on the game and thoughts on why I believe Ressurection and Ein Sof (at least for Kabbalist C1 that has no way to keep it up to 100% lasting time) are bad skills.
A new player has a right to hear all sides and try&decide on his own.
I’ve posted on the flawed logic behind the skill which make it a bad skill. And I never said that there should be noone with Ressurection in the roster.
I stated
So you have a proper Priest that brings Revive to the party which is much more valuable than just having Ressurection. The whole discussion is about Priest C1 just for Ressurection, and I stated that the skill is the most useless skill in the roster. Monstrance is quite ok, Blessing does nothing on a non-SPR build, Aspersion is also meh without SPR.
If someone dies on floor 30+, his equipment and CON wasn’t sufficient for the content. Ressurection will not change this fact.
I’ve already laid down the possible downwards spiral where 1 death will easily lead to the next one and so on, even with Ressurection available if he died with the Increase Magic Defense and Aspersion buff applied[yes I was talking about KTOS-standard, not the current standard ingame where Aspersion is still weak and there is no Increased Magic Defense available from Pardoner Shop].
So you go with a party of random people that don’t have gear fit for the challenge of ET Floor 30+ and want to tell me that Ressurection is required or you’ll fail?
I already stated you that the logic behind this is flawed, because if the only one with ressurection dies, the run is probably doomed, and if you have to expect that this person has enough equipment & skill not to die, why can’t I expect the same from every other person that participates in the run?
Also, since ET will turn into a weekly feature, I don’t see any reason why you would have to do rushed daily runs. Before this new player here is far enough into the game to participate in the higher floored ET, ET will most likely have already changed to weekly runs with the new Pardoner Buffs already being a thing and people transcending their gears for Solmiki hopefully becoming a more frequent sight.
And if the levelcap hits before, it gets even easier because the monsters will suffer a damage penalty due to their lower level…
Join a guild, improve your equipment, get the buffs and put together a team of characters that can actually brave the challenge of Solmiki instead of creeping with life support. This includes every single member, they all need enough CON and good enough equipment to survive.
Don’t let people fool you with “You don’t need CON for PVE” who at the same time say “You need Ressurection for ET”. If everyone had enough effective HP(i.e. a good amount of HP through CON and a somewhat high enough defence value), there would be no need for Ressurection at all because there are no defence disregard attacks in this game.
So I am now 83. I am currently Cleric1 and Priest2. I can now advance again. I read the thread but I am a bit confused in what to do next. I really enjoy the dps a lot and want to focus on that a bit since my man and I are soloing dungeons. Help is much appreciated.
May as well go priest3 into chaplain or werewolf as those are the only synergy you can do with priest3. Maybe sadhu, but I dunno enough on that to comment.
What are your stats ? Did you go INT or SPR ? (or anything else)
Priest has two skills that bring your whole party extra damages and they scale with SPR: Blessing and Sacrament (although for Sacrament it’s not in game yet). So you can go Priest 3, full SPR. After that you also have the choice to go the hidden class, Chaplain, which has good damages, BUT this build means you’ll auto-attack a lot (so melee damages).
There is also a hidden combo between Blessing and the Heal tiles: the Heal damages get doubled if you are buffed with Blessing.
I’d advise you to take Cleric 2 at some point in order to get Divine Might, Safety Zone’s attribute, and Heal 10. This will make sure you can effectively support a party. Even more if you have Priest’s Resurrection (as well as Revive + Mass Heal for harder content).
do you think inquis is pvp based? especially with the direction of the new c2 skill that (i think) can CC a single target for wheel.
what would be a a good pvp inquis build? im thinking cleric2>x c2> Monk3> Inquis2 but idk what should be the third/fourth rank and ive heard mixed opinions about monk3
If you go Priest3 and then Chaplain I suggest taking Plague Doctor 2, or (if you intend to do Earth Tower) a Miko + Taoist.
It will be a really good support and a decent DPS build thanks to Blessing.
Going Cleric 2 is recommended, if not necessary, as previously said
Friendly advice: I changed my Cleric2Priest3ChapPlagueDoc2 (full SPR) into Cleric2Diev1Sadhu3PlagueDoc2 (full INT) on the past rank reset and i’m having fun with it, perfect as support and good damage. Absolutely happy of the change
I’ve been going full SPR. I have blessing and attributes: - Blessing: Enhance & Blessing: Attack Count. I have Heal maxed, Blessing Maxed, Mass Heal maxed. I am confused when you said Sacrament is not in game yet. It is a skill I can take in the Priest tree.
I keep hearing about “When the new talents go in”…When is this big change suppose to happen?
My bad, I didn’t mean the skill itself but Sacrament will be changed in the future, making it scale even better with SPR for damages but it will lose its Holy damages bonus.
We don’t know yet when at all. They are still modifying other classes’ skills and testing it all, so it should still take a while before it arrives. Sacrament is a good skill to put 1 point in at the moment, for the extra damages (more points if you plan to go Chaplain).
@Goldie Based on the feedback in this thread, I was thinking of using this build: Cleric - Priest - Priest - Priest - Chaplain - Cleric - Plague Doctor - Plague Doctor. What do you think? My man decided he just wants to duo dungeons for now so it will be just the 2 of us. He is a tank with some dps. Is that build appropriate or should I make changes if it will be just the 2 of us? Not sure that I can change too too much at this point since I already have cleric1, Priest2. I have 8 points in Aspersion, 1 point in Monstrance, 7 points in Blessing, 5 points in Resurrection, 1 point in Sacrament, 4 points in Mass Heal.
You can get a skill reset potion from Adventure Journal Rewards or TP to change points around if you want to.
Priest is pretty straight forward, not much to change, might be different when we get the Priest update but until then that’s pretty much all you need from Priest.
You can change Stone Skin points into Exorcise and get Magnus Exorcismus instead of Deploy Capella if you want another AoE skill instead of the utility of Stone Skin.
You can leave both Incineration and Black Death Steam at Lvl 1 if you want or reduce 1 point in Healing Factor to get Black Death Steam at lvl 5, Incineration scaling isn’t that good, just there for the extra tick for blessing procs, you can max Healing Factor or leave it at lvl 5/6, doesn’t matter (it just means less recasting).
As a Full SPR char you can get away with Lvl 10 Pandemic to spread Black Death Steam to pretty much every single mob surrounding you, alternatively you can leave it at lvl 5 and use the points somewhere else if you want to.
It is a good build. Cleric and Priest will allow you to support really well, and Blessing is great for the extra damages. Plague Doctor is the best aoe class in the cleric build: rather low cd, great damages. It’s actually one of the most popular build because it can do everything.
This is the build I would do
For PD there are 4 skill points left, it will depend on what you want: extra Healing Factor, Pandemic (you can probably afford it if you’re full SPR), or higher Incineration.
Although you can also simply save them for when Plague Doctor circle 3 is out. It’ll be out soon on the korean version and they hope to release it before the end of the year on this version.
If you are headed for chaplain, you can go inquisitor for the burn attribute and just blow stuff up. When you kill something, you have a 20% chance to summon a flame that copies your auto atk for 10 sec. Doesn’t sound like much, but it copies EVERYTHING about your auto attack. All your buffs, the number of lines of attack, your attack speed. And it hits everything. That flame is basically you. It can also generate other flames and just snowball into an inferno of death.
In addition there is the skill [malleus maleficarum] that adds damage to all sources (including lines of attack) based on the targets matk. So yey more auto attack goodness.
