Answering this with the assumption that the OP is referring to the latest buffs Monks received in kTest server, not the patch we are getting next week:
IMO you might want Hand Knife, One Inch Punch and God Finger Flick on at least 1 point for the CC of Hand Knife and One Inch Punch (if mobs swarm you and things get messy), and God Finger Flick’s strike debuff. God Finger Flick’s strike debuff is great for bossing, especially with Double Punch’s increased skill factor in future patches. If you want, you can sacrifice points from Golden Bell Shield as it has too long of a cooldown, too little damage increase, and too little uptime to make much of an impact, and 1 point is enough to enjoy its cooldown reset perks. If you’re not interested in using Palm Strike + Hand Knife as damage skills and prefer the Auto-Attack playstyle (since you took chaplain, I assume you are going with the Auto-Attack playstyle), you can place those points into Iron Skin.
With Monk and Chaplain, Auto-Attacks are your main source of damage, and IMO Visible Talent should be added at least 1, or maxed for lower cooldown to get more bossing damage (imagine double Auto-Attack DPS every few seconds or so, though its single target and has a cap). Binatio is worthless at level 1, and Double Punch level 15 (along with a good amount of DEX from equips) is more than enough to hit the soft Attack-Speed cap of 3 Auto-Attacks per second. Personally, I worry about Aspergillum’s damage in the new White Crow Raid with the boss being Holy Element, but Deploy Cappella should be able to mitigate that with pure holy damage increase.
Monk Chaplain is the quintessential Cleric Auto-Attack complete package, and third class is really up to preference:
-
Zealot gives great general damage buffs, especially now that Energy Blast is short enough to be used with Immolation. Blind Faith damage can be used for Visible Talent, though the usefulness of Blind Faith as damage fodder for Visible Talent is up to each individual.
(About your Zealot build, Fanatic Illusion is a strong AoE skill with Fanaticism being up, so please max it. If you do plan on using your physical skills for a short burst and want a bit of fire property damage, Immolation is great with 1 point. About Invulnerable, I suggest getting Gazing Golem Cards for PB effect and maybe only adding Invulnerable at either 0 or 1 as a safety net until Gazing Golem Procs. Also, unless you need that Blind Faith damage boost for Visible Talent and have enough SP, there’s not much need for maxing Blind Faith (Visible Talent at level 1 and Blind Faith has the same cooldown too). Otherwise, I think everything else is preference depending if you prefer an Auto-Attack only playstyle or a playstyle using skills to deal damage.)
-
In terms of support, Priest is a good choice for support, like what a Priest usually does. It may not be the most offensive class, but what it lacks in damage it gives back in support along with Priest buffs.
-
Plague Doctor is also a good choice if you’re proceeding with the more support-ish line of thought. Mobility, heals, anti-CC and PB effect is always great to have.
-
Miko/Kannushi is worth thinking about, possibly a meta-changer with Clap now working with Deploy Cappella to make it 100% uptime for boosting Aspergillum and Energy Blast. Energy Blast does the most DPS with Deploy Cappella going at 100% uptime. Also has Omikuji for crit buffs if needed (if you get Great Curse, simply Gohei it away) and Sweep to increase Cappella’s level further.
-
Inquisitor just being Inquisitor. Strong class in any build if you want damage. A good class to abuse God Finger Flick’s strike debuff along with how good the class is right now. Auto-Attack damage from hitting mobs with Auto-Attacking Breaking Wheel also counts into Visible Talent, so I guess there’s that.
Oracle and Krivis are great debuff classes, but I personally do not like Divine Stigma’s uptime and the constant casting of debuffs from both classes. Druid sounds great, though I can’t remember if they did anything with how Double Punch doesn’t work while in Demi-Lycan Lycanthropy. Just to repeat myself, this whole thing is based on the assumption that the topic refers to future patch, its just my opinion and that third class really feels up to preference.
