My mind is set up on making a monk i know they are not top tiers but the appeal to me. Currently i having trouble with the priest part of the build. This i the build i got planned out
i think out of all the buff asperion is the one that will scale better into late game since its % base plus the sacrament ill get from pardoners would be better than what i can get
If you reason with Pardoner, then you might as well get the Aspersion buff from Pardoner too. Better max Blessing instead. Get Sacrament 1/5 for the Dark Resist and Extra Hit.
The priest part looks almost fine, I would put at least 1 point in Sacrament, it adds another line of damage.
About Aspersion… It doesn’t scale quite as well as you’d hope. For instance (let’s assume max Aspersion which is +48%def, I’ll use 50), I have 200 def from armor which negates 200 physical damage, I use Aspersion I now have 300 armor and negate 300 physical damage. Even with 200 armor at lvl 200+ mobs start hitting 2k+, so negating 100 extra damage isn’t amazing.
Aspersion “scales” well, but Def doesn’t scale at all, so it doesn’t really scale anything.
The extra def will help a little, and it’s not like you have a ton of options for those points. But honestly Aspersion just eats a buff slot. Blessing and Sacrament would be “better” especially if/when we get the ktos Blessing patch.
