What I’ve got right now is maxed Zaibas and Divine Stigma, with everything but Melstis (0) at 3 for attributes.
So where should I dump my last 11 points?
-Aukuras 14 for HP regen? I might take Paladin, and Restoration stacks right?
-Zalciai 14 for more crit? I’m not pure SPR so it could help to level this, but maybe the attributes are enough?
-Daino 14 for buffs? Probably overkill after the increased natural limit, and it’s not like I’ll go Pardoner C3 to sell them.
-Melstis 1 or 5? Is this so good that I’d be an idiot for going C3 Krivis without it? Does it work for Barrier or Safety Zone? It didn’t sound that great, but I don’t know how important a few seconds of buffs could be, especially if I need to channel the whole time and spend my entire SP bar.
Or some sort of mix, like Melstis 1, Daino 5, Auk/Zalc 3-11?
Right now that’s my entire build. Just Cleric>Krivis3, probably go C2 or into Paladin next.
Zalciai is probably the most bang for your buck right now. None of them are going to get you that much – Zaibas is really the only important one. You don’t need Daino that high and Aukuras seems pretty meh even at higher skill levels. I don’t know of any major uses for Melstis currently; it doesn’t work with ground effects like those you listed.
Zalciai is a good investment, its attributes amplfy your magic damage from zaibas, heal and Cure, Melstis is not that usefull (channeling/short AoE), 1 point in Daino is enough if you think you need it
I do have Zalciai at 3 for the MAmp effect already, and leveling the skill itself any further doesn’t improve that, just the crit atk + crit res, which is all but useless to just myself.
So I’m wondering if other players would really appreciate like +60 atk and +10 crit, or would I be better off with Aukuras, since only skill levels make it tick faster so I can’t recoup that with attributes.
I rly don’t know what would be the best option but I think Aukuras is a bit underestimated…at least compared to the other “wonderful” options.
If you have a Squire friend with yoghurt you can reduce the ticks to its minimum…what is about 1 sec…
Also I think its accuracy reducement is not neglectable and that does grow with skill lvls too…but I think it is fixed so not godly but still something. With my not too accurate testing in pvp it started with -100 accuracy…and as I calculated it it kinda looked like it can reach about -200 on lvl 15 imo… as I said I don’t think that is nothing. But also I’m not sure how that part is working… it could be % reducement too. I only found 1 test subject X)…
I don’t know btw if it helps your build itself or not.
Zalciai is a nice skill but skill lvls of it aren’t that super good… It still is a nice option though maybe even more if we consider that you are not SPR oriented. I rly don’t know what would be better.
About Daino… I think it isn’t bad to have higher lvls but it would be more rare that you would need it and you can buy scrolls if you rly need those higher lvls of it… Although those higher lvl scrolls are more costly too. X)
I’m not sure if you should skip Melstis totally. I don’t rly know what but I think it has some rare but nice uses… It is just very situational… I wouldn’t mind a revamp for that skill for sure btw… X) Although maybe you should advance to a class that can utilize it and I have no idea which one can.
I know this didn’t helped too much but I tried to share my thoughts on it. x)
Yes, both stack and it very similiar to pure casting INT Paladin where as using Animus to power-boost your magic amplification by removing your HP regeneration.
Based on my calculation, you should get around 321.6 magic amplification alone with (max attributed + level Aukuras) + (max attributed + level Restoration) + (Level 280 Cleric Character) without any gears.
This is very similar to one of the Hybrid Paladin build that i fought earlier in PvP this week from KR.
I believe his stats is around…
20k HP
800+ Physical
1,000+ Magic Attack (Probably higher because of magic amplification)
Editted: I’m not sure how magic amplification really work, but most people been telling me it increased your max magic damage. Meaning if you have 300 magic amplification with 10-20 magic attack. The magic amplification will boost up your max magic damage up to 10-320. (Something like that.)
P.S. You can also respect Stigma to level and maxed out Diano for party orientated, but i guess it doesn’t really matter since we have buff limit attributed.
Pure SPR is for support only (Unless you willing to play pure Support) and the attributed is enough because you can get 100+ Critical Attack alone from Level 100 Attributed.
Also, get level 3 Zalciai for attributed.
Plus, most end-game players have like enormous amount of STR compared to DEX.
I’d prefer using Diano scroll from Pardoner because it save so much skill points for Divine Stigma and high level Aukuras (Magic Amplication Build).
Also… you might be wondering… what’s so good about Divine Stigma?
High level provide higher duration (Best option to stack other debuffs with Smite for Incineration in PvP and PvE). You can also use Discerning Evil from Pardoner aside from running C3 Paladin. It work extremely well because it extend or (act as debuff) for 12 seconds. (That’s like free 12 ticks right there!)
Late game DPS buff for team.
Possible to use it on enemy pet in PvP (Haven’t seen this in action, but it’s possible.)
Additionally, If you are planning to PvP with your premade team. Stone Skin, Revive, Swell Left Arm, Swell Right Arm, Swell Brain + (Rune of Giants) are more than enough for the team. (That’s like… 5-6 buffs right there and Diano level provide +2 buffs limit).
Well… It’s really depend…
In my opinions, Melstis is more for pure Support orientated with Kabbalist who can recover your mana instantly (or just spam pot). Plus, I don’t think it worth it because most of the buffs have higher duration or close to it cool-down.
Thanks you two. The Crit Res debuff on Zalc is what I’d be most interested in, since an extra crit that your DPS wouldn’t have gotten otherwise is a huge bonus, but even +100 bonus crit atk on top isn’t all that significant. I’ll eventually get the attribute maxed since that’s all “free” as in I don’t gain anything by keeping that low, the only tradeoff is silver. But the difference in Crit Res is… not very much.
Melstis could be amazing with something, or just worthless. Maybe I will just put 1 point in it just to be safe. 0s vs 15s vs 20+ so the first point is the most significant. Or the least waste?
I think I’ll go 13 into Aukuras, 3 into Zalciai, 3 into Daino, 1 in Melstis, and max the other two. This way I get -14s HP regen, so with yogurt that should still be 1s, right?
Well it doesn’t affect SP regen ticks, even with Restoration, so it’s not like either choice really makes much difference. It does increase the duration of the fireplace, so I get the most out of levels, I think.
C3 Krivis isn’t necessary unless you are running with a premade team with full support build or most situation, but i do say it’s worth to have it under most situation.
An example i could think of is melstis is extremely useful against 280+ Bosses (Included World Bosses) where as extending buffs like Golden Bell where as Monk taking massive agros after two minutes from attacking the boss.
320 magic amp doesn’t make up for the extremely situational (Smite delay, circles, and lvl5 heals) low DPS a Paladin does in PvP… you offer nothing vs. Cleric2, literally.
and yeah Magic amp gives u a chance to do a range of 0-# [max magic amp] in bonus dmg. elemental property dmg is much better and more consistent
