Build advice on Pala 3, Inquisitor

Class and Rank Cleric
#1

Hey.

I am a fairly new player and am looking for advice on how to build my future Pala 3 Inquisitor. As of now my highest character is 108 and I want to avoid making the same mistakes I did on my first one. Anyway, here is the build I plan on getting my hands on: http://www.tosbase.com/tools/skill-simulator/build/cwhodveasp/

I did some research and decided to go for atleast P2. P3 is pretty much a placeholder at this point, I took it to have access to a higher % based heal and for the buffs. Other options would be Monk1, Diev or PD but I am not sure if I want to get into PvP on this one.

Suggestions? Is investing into Priest3 (or even 2) even worth it considering that I wont invest into SPR or INT at all? I pretty much just need Priest1 for Monstrance but I felt like having that extra utility for both myself and parties wouldnt hurt.

Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

Cleric 2 is almost mandatory for heals/utility/etc. Of course, you could build whatever you want, but ppl will think twice when inviting an cleric c1 into a group.
Anyways, this build is ok if you keep what I said above in mind. Pala skill distribution are fine, priest skills are currently messed up if you follow the meta. Since def per rank buff, aspersion lv15 is godlike and almost a must. People keep sacrament at 1 or 10. Ressurection would be good at 5. Blessing is meh since you won’t have SPR/INt, so I’d keep at 1. Stone skin was nerfed but it’s a good skill nonetheless. I’d put at 5.

There are alternatives to your build if you follow the cleric 2 path.
Cleric 2 > Priest > Pala 3 > X > Inq is one of the most dex pala/priest famous build, being x PD, monk, whatever.

Thank you for your insight, that helped alot. I replaced Priest3 with C2 and fixed the Priest skills according to your feedback.

Since I wanna use this one for PvE, I decided to keep Priest2 for now. Anything else I could improve or change?

#4

On Priest 3, I’d drop 2 points from Aspersion (lvl 1 is enough if you really need it at all, no need to waste 2 more points for just 4% defence boost) and some points from Sacrament. lvl 5 Sacrament already allows you to run around with Sacrament for 5 minutes, which is enough for the 35 silver invested per cast…

How you place these points is your decision, but I’d either max Blessing and spend the other 2 points in Stone Skin, which is one of the most amazing skills in the game, or max Stone Skin and drop the 2 left-over points into Ressurection, because 6 seconds interruptable casttime is a hassle in this game…

On Inquisitor, you should try to get Pears of Anguish at 5. Pears of Anguish is by far the strongest skill of the Inquisitor with the most potential if leveled up, because each level gives you one additional pear per cast, which means two per CD time. If they fly onto the enemy or explode beneath them, they can literally “nuke” enemies…

#5

Is maxing Blessing even worth my points? I will opt for DEX and won’t have much SPR, if any.

#6

I would make sure Revive is maxed, and leave Sacrament a one pointer then you could put the rest of your points into Blessing. IMO Priest over C1 isn’t as great as it used to be since you can just buy your buffs at a shop and Monstrance can be scrolled bought off AH. For your R7 there are plenty of other choices, might want to read up in the Inquisitor thread.

#7

The reason for going priest c2? you will need daino scroll for buff slots.

sacrament, blessing, aspersio, revive, divine might, resist element

not counting the important buffs, haste, ausrine.

R7 there are options, like oracle for conversion + immune to lv 1 debuff or Kabbalist for extra hp + R7 works nicely with inquisitor pear.

#8

The most popular option for R7 I’ve seen is Kabbalist, you can regen your SP, increase your max HP I believe, and works really well with Inquisitor.

So Cleric C2 > Priest C1 > Paladin C3 > Kabbalist > Inquisitor would be nice.

Keeping in mind that you need to use Daino Scrolls if you want to mantain all those buffs up (or if you’ve a Krivis friend, even better :slight_smile:).

#9

I actually do play duo with a Krivis3 :slight_smile:

#10

Then you’re good to go :slight_smile:

Also if your friend has Priest on his build there’s not really that much need for you to take it too and instead replace it with Diev, but that’s up to you since they usually go for Priest.

#11

He is going for C2, Krivis3, Druid2 / Diev2, Taoist. We also have a Swordsman in our group who wants to go Doppel 3 so I thought having Priest 2 covered in my build would suit us well. And, it would be useful in random groups aswell - I hope.

#12

My main is also a Cleric C2 > Krivis C3… I went Kannushi (Miko) for R6 tho and going for Priest R7 and Taoist R8, pretty useful path though I guess going more towards supporting (really useful for ET).

The good thing is that every circle I take benefits my Zaibas, Divine Might from Cleric and Sweeping from Kannushi can raise my Zaibas to lvl 17, with blessing with maxed dmg attribute and since I’ve lots of int going to boost me a little bit more (and the hidden interaction that Heal tiles hit double when you’ve blessing buff active) and of course Storm Calling to boost lightning dmg (attribute also boosts melee dmg so it’s really good).

However for your friend if he wants to take one of those two choices, I’d suggest Druid C2, DO NOT take only 1 rank of Druid since it’s really bad, it’s only good at C2 and forth, if he ends up deciding to take only one rank is better to change that for Miko/Kannushi (if he doesn’t mind the boring prequest that is xD).

Priest is only needed for Ress really, so in my opinion if you’re not going to take Priest to C3 only one circle of it is enough, but if you don’t want to pick anything else you can go for it I guess :slight_smile:

Priest 1 seems like a thrown away Rank,though.
I had a build with Priest 1 and I reset it because I felt that Priest C1 just for Ressurection was a total waste. People can just invest in def/mdef and never die anyway, so why would there be any need for Ressurection? ( I only die because of the insane level penalty or because of OOB 0 defence penalty, otherwise I always get hit for low damage…)

I believe Revive would be a better investment, and honestly I start to believe that Priest C2 might actually be better than Cleric C2 if you start to invest in Priest anyway. Safety Zone is nice, but if you’re hit for 1 damage and evade most attacks because of high evasion, it doesn’t help (no cc protection), so 10 hits might be enough if you know which attacks to evade (if your party is full of SZ-leechers,forget what I said,though).
Mass Heal has also a greater heal potential in a group, and, as I stated, Revive is better than Ressurection because it grants you temporary invulnerability for skilllevel seconds.

The main problems of Priest C2 are the lower attack power in the beginning (only lvl 5 Heal&Cure) and the lower potential in curing/healing until you hit Priest C2. From Rank 3 onwards,though, it’s potentially better, because you will be able to grant permanent Blessing, so autoattacking wouldn’t hurt so much as it does currently for Clerics without Priest (less damage with Heal&Cure is a big issue for all C2/C3 Clerics) and have a decent Heal+Revive.

The real worth of Priest C1 is Monstrance and that’s about it. Sad that it’s so expensive to scroll Monstrance,otherwise everyone could just skip Priest altogether if they don’t want C2/C3.

Without Daino you can simply shift buffs depending on cool downs. As Priest C3 (not related to Inquisitor build for this case), I will teach you to not casting Stone Skin, Revive, Safety Zone, Monstrance (the evasion from DEX bonus), and Aspersion at branding same time as example (except TBL where every buff outside Priest/Ausrine doesn’t matter and cool down reset per round). You will have nothing to back you up once everything expired…

#15

it only works if you solo, in party it is a totally different scenario.

you will have all kinds of buffs, prophecy, swell left arm, swell right arm, swell brain, blood letting, missle hole, haste, revive, enchant fire, last rites, asperilgum, what else? swift step for new archer who dont care about others? spiritual link, aspersio, blessing, scaraments, ausrine, stone skin, safety zone, zaicai, increase magic def, resist elements, ST, Revenge 7f, ein sof, healing factor, well is guardian saint on primary or secondary buff slots? and the urge to step on every circle you see.

whew… i might want a lv 15 daino

#16

priest 1 for monstrance, not just resurrection

it’s make you burst more bursty in buff duration

as physical dealer, u put a lot a point on dex

you have a lot of yellow gem that only give bonus when cri

u need highest critical rate as possible

r3 class that good as priest1 is diev1

it’s give you 3charge filler, lower your skill rotation cooldown

laima also slow mob, and being debuff if take plague doctor at r7

free teleport isn’t bad

#17

Heh, good luck paying for that scroll xD
It costs 10,5k to craft a level 15 Daino Scroll (15 Parchments [200 silver each] +15*500 silver [cost per skilllevel scrolled]). Of course that’s not so expensive, but try to find someone who actually went Krivis3>Pardoner3 (at least Rank 7 required) and is selling those scrolls cheap xD

Once I reach that Pardoner C3, I’ll try to sell them for 25-40k, as there are currently no Daino scrolls over lvl 5 on the market on Fedimian :slight_smile:

Btw, Guardian Saint occupies a slot on the second buffrow that has no buffcountlimit

#18

Did you thought about putting one lvl of monk like in [THIS?] (http://www.tosbase.com/tools/skill-simulator/build/zjztouedd0/) I put 5 point in Iron skin for the incomming Korean change on it.

The strike debuff from double punch is a really nice DPS upgrade, the potential armor break is nice for bosses and bleeding is always nice to have.
In overall, Monk is better than Priest 2.
With Cleric 2, you don’t really need Mass heal from Priest 2 that is also a really difficult skill to use if your party isn’t playing around/with you.
For cleric 1, putting 5 points in Aspersio and Resurrection is in my opinion better than putting them in blessing that you ll rarelly use. (Buffing a resurrected friend will help him to not die again)
Like said, Monstrance gives you +30% Dex that is quite a lot when you spent most of your points in.
