Hello, I am a fairly new player and I’ve decided to roll with C1 > P3 > Chaplain>Miko/Pard > Krivis > Inquisitor. I am wondering on how to allocate stats right now for leveling, as this build is focused on future proof/post combat update. Any tips or input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Depend on how you will allocate your skill points.
Will you go Bless Lv. 15? If yes, then 100 CON for survival, 40-50 DEX for accuracy and the rest in SPR for blessing damage boost.
Also, take note that some other skills also get a great boost from SPR like Pard: Increase Magic Defense, Priest: Monstrance, Mass Heal and Stone Skin and Cleric: Deprotected Zone.
If you are only getting a few levels on Blessing, you need to check your main damage sources, will be magic or phys? If magic then INT instead of SPR, if phys then STR instead of SPR.
There’s not much mystery on that part tho, as the new update (whenever God knows when will come) will provide more boost for offensive skills.
I am planning on getting blessing to 15. In addition to that, should I be maxing Sacraments since Last Rites scales with Sacrament level? Thanks.
You are taking the path of a basic attack build so yeah, max Sacrament and Aspersion will provide good pdef.
I can’t say much about Chaplain since I never played it, and depend on HP level to deal more damage, in certain parts of the game that is pretty risk as some mob have multi hit basic attacks and in bosses you will pretty much take some heavy damage depending on gear and Lv difference.
I made a build for basic attack but instead of Chap and Inquisitor, I went Pard C3, well I stopped at Pard C1 since the game lost it’s attractive for me (already have 11 chars created and doing the same thing over and over again with no meaningful reward ugh…).
I will probably come back after the big changes to check and use a messed up Pard I created before confirming stats and went with DEX instead, since we will be able to reset the chars once, I will take this chance to redo a bunch of chars in some builds I want to try lol.
Please don’t go down this line of thought.
Sacrament damage increase for Last Rites is absolutely useless, you gain +10 damage per point you put into Sacrament and it’s damage value isn’t influenced by anything aside from if the enemy is weak to Holy.
Drop Krivis, this build is gonna revolve around Spr for damage, both Aspersion and Aspergillium damage are based on your Spr stat and the level you have Aspersion at; as a full Spr build and 7 points in Aspersion, I was hitting around 3.5 - 4k per hit with Aspergillium and that was not long after hitting Chaplain. Going Int will do absolutely nothing for Chaplain and would make going Chaplain pointless too. I would suggest instead of taking Krivis, to go for either Cleric2 or Pardoner/Oracle. Your Spr will increase the the mdef increase from Pardoner which is a huge help, considering later on the amount of magical damage taken is almost to the point of obnoxious.
The only attack that Chaplain has access to that is influenced by Int is Magnus Exorcismus and due to the nature of how Exorcise works on Priest, it’s just too hard to pull off reliably.
Some Int wouldn’t be a terrible idea just to increase your healing from Heal and Mass Heal, but anything more than around 100 points would be a waste. If you don’t like the idea of a full Spr build, don’t bother with Priest3>Chaplain else they end up as wasted circles.
This information comes from some testing I did with Chaplain and decided it was a very niche role outside of pure Spr builds and due to the fact that people have to run out and back in to Capella to restore buff durations, that it could be kinda clunky. As well, because of where it’s damage sources come from, you’re unlikely to be doing more than just auto attacking and making sure to keep your buffs up, so if that kind of fighting style isn’t for you then go a different route.
Kind regards,
Since when?
Aspergillum, Exorcise, Cure, Heal ?
Also Blessing is influenced by INT at least for now…even if it’s not that great as with SPR.
Also PD or MIKO nicely complement the INT Chap build later on.
It is sad…but without c2 Cleric you won’t heal too much but I don’t want to force on you anything just saying…
With a build like this both INT and SPR is acceptable btw. For the future… hell knows what’s the best yet… I think still both INT and SPR will work in a way but everything will be quite different.
Next week is battle patch upgrade. Sacrament last rites dmg will scale with spr. Also Blessing will scale only with spr. No more int into the scaling.
Though damagewise, int may be better on chaplain skills and aspersion line. It seems blessing reaffects the four lines of auto atks. Also the new scaling of chaplain becomes better. Still leveling sacrament more than 1 is still useless, also last rites is the same just put them level 1. (Except if they changed the formulas and ktest planner isn’t up to date. ^^
For leveling my chaplain inqi (which is monk 2, so was differnt from alot of build) i used full spr blessing as my main source of dmg thanks to additional lines. ^^
I specifically said that it doesn’t scale with anything pertaining to Chaplain itself, I meant the skill set it has, not Cleric and Priest; perhaps I should’ve made that a little more clear.
Also Blessing becomes much less helpful as you level - the amount of damage that it adds in the grand scheme of things is incredibly low, especially considering the amount of skill points you have to invest in to it to make it somewhat decent.
Yes, indeed PD and Miko both work with Int, but at that point there’s very little reason behind actually taking Chaplain, you’re not really benefiting from taking it at all unless you actually invest in to Aspergilium unless you purely take it for supportive means with Last Rites and increasing a heavy auto attacking group, but even then it’s not worth an entire circle.
In one weeks it won’t be the same anymore anyway ^^
But it has Magnus and Aspergillum for INT… 
2 skills out of 4 where last rites atm doesn’t scale with anything…
Oh I didn’t know that.
I don’t know if INT will be ok with the new system. I think Aspersion damage won’t scale with SPR anymore. Also maybe we will get the new Stone Skin. So I guess you could choose the right skills for it but rly don’t know if it is worth it… we will see.
Also because of the SS change maybe DEX for evasion and attack speed will be a quite good option.
Given the advent of the new changes, I think it would be silly for any Priest3 to invest in INT.
Full SPR or CON/SPR will be the builds most heavily used, with 15 in bless.
Look at it this way…you could get INT for more MATK…or more SPR to boost your damage in the same way with blessing activated along with more SP and status resist. It is a win-win to go SPR.
For Chaplain, STR may be a thing if accuracy is needed or we can just find it in gear.

Well for some days, blessing would only affect one line of damage. But since now it’s back to business affecting all the lines of autos.
For auto atks you will get a higher damage output from autos. (Which in inqisitor is good on the wheel and also good for the flame attribute).
Int chaplain will have a stronger line of aspersion, but now it should be less. (Last week it was just slight less cause of blessing only affecting once)
But int would be better for magnus/exorcise too.
Also if you go int, you can play chaplain another way if you go chaplain + sadhu 3. Transmit prana elemental dmg buff should affect aspersion line,and maybe make a sadhu 3 chaplain int the same as a normal chaplain in term of autos, while bringing you a stronger magnus/exorcise. ^^
Another way of playing chaplain also, is dex way. Since dex is affecting your auto atk speed.
Anyway in both int and dex way, your buffs from priest/chaplain won’t be good sadly. ^^ But your damage should be as good, or even better depending on which classes you pick with it. So it’s really a matter of finding what fits you the most now.
A class is the sum of its parts, but yes considering Magnus alone, INT would be better.
But for the class as a whole, SPR will be better overall when considering all your sources of damage.
DEX is easier to get from equipment since you can stack eight level 10 ellaganos cards for an easy +80 DEX along with Max Peta and any DEX you get from equipment.
Thanks for the info guys. Regarding my build, should I be maxing stone skin and dropping points from Aspersion? Should I be maxing Mass heal or leaving it at a lower level? Any input for how I should allocate points into the priest tree would be much appreciated.
Next week stone skin is hard nerfed so it’s really a good question. Seems a lot of people plays with aspersion 15 after patch.
Max Stone Skin is a 20% physical damage reduction buff, so it is still very strong.
Aspersion 1 is fine since most players buy lvl 17 aspersion from the pardoner shops.
Mass Heal is very important, max it if you can.
It’s 20% damage reduction but not for all physical damages, some are exempts : Blunt weapons, musket and cannon. (if i remember well) But yeah still feels important.
Does anyone knows if aspergilum procs in lyncan form? or a chaplain/druid3 is completely useless considering lyncan spammable atk?
Kugheri Zeuni transformation has some sick multihit skills and probably benefit too?
Lycan form is a spell spamming not a real auto atk (it’s like double punch) so it doesn’t proc on it.
Someone already tested if chaplain skills work on wolf? Or if they wont if they work on the dagger attack that u can use while transformed?
