You don’t really need debuffs imo though for incinerate. C8 PD2 is all about plague vapor pandemic and incinerate.
The only thing that is with pardoner now is discerning evil. Chapalin will shift to from Autos to Magnus when it is buff. Well Autos is more of a way to solo lower hp mobs these day…
With my chaplain, questing passed 200 was really easy. Nothing can hurt you and you will kill everything eventually. Its pretty relaxing. If i had gone int i would have suffered greatly due to the lack of the protection of my buffs.
You do really need debuffs in pve for incinerate. Without, you just kinda burn something for a few seconds and then run around like a useless turd for the duration of the cooldown.
Also, that magnus exorsize is subpar. That video everyone seems to be hyped for was performed on monsters that are weak to holy. It ticked too slowly, has a long cooldown and is subpar damage compared to other things at that level.
Plague vapor is a debuff you know lol.
Pre 200 and pass 240 is a different story all together
I was talking post 200. That means 200 - 280.
Plague vapor only exists in rank 8. What does that have to do with inquisitor?
Was highlighting To PD > PD2
Becaues you are saying plague doctor has no synergy with priest and so on. Why the mention due fact PD2 itself is good enough to provide the debuffs. As for priest 3, you can use C1/2 Deprotected zone and monstrance as debuff unless you forget about it.
Chapalin is just a circle more to provided unlimited uptime to your buff through table on situational. Magnus does provide you with a slow flame pillar of 3k - 7k or more depending on your magic attack.
Am i wrong to say that?
That works in some cases but why go chaplain at all if you’re aiming for PD? Would probably be easier to get any other circle in the cleric tree since at least theres more synergy to them. May as well just drop the chaplain circle and grab that extra cleric circle, a krivis circle and then the PD circle.
Monstrance is unreliable as a debuff circle considering it just randomly shoots off in a cone in front of you and deprotect is really only good on stationary monsters. In PvP its nearly impossible to land either of them on someone as well.
That is true, but i prefer the additional 1 line and up time buff over krivis which can just be on daino scroll and Zalciai scroll. The rest of the C1 looks meh imo. Things that can be solve by silver in end game is not a real issue i guess.
I understand fully what you are looking at. Where i use to think about it why did i not pick something else other than chapalins Lol.
As for back on track purpose Inquisitor base is indeed high, but picking chapalin > inquistor means either you are SPR/INT highly. Due to the synergy of priest. Or your aa damage will suffer from str/dex VS int/spr scaling.
Which makes it somewhat ??? for inquisitor we will need to know scaling and how it works. General out line of inquisitor it works more well on DEX/STR builds as the crit is spread via breaking wheel.? Unless some one is willing to give a “huge in on that class” it pretty much another alternative path
The scaling on skills in rank 8 works just like the other 7 ranks. The only real difference is that the skills have an insanely higher base damage and thus makes things like int and str obsolete. Dex would work better for the inq since it will enable crits but honestly, cleric’s dex to crit ratio is pretty garbage compared to swords and archers. You would infact get more crit out of having 60 dex and 300 spr with one circle of krivis than you would out of going full dex and no zalciai as a cleric.
Breaking wheel’s damage is basically just like monk’s laser beam thing. It can crit. Im unsure if the birds can crit or if the spell interrupt can crit but the megaslam skill can also crit.
The synergy between chaplain and inquisitor is basically every line of damage gets transfered into that large AOE the wheel gives on top of the wheel’s damage too. It just seems too good to pass up
I am also of the opinion that Inquis is the clear pick for most Chaplain builds.
I think the only one where I would go Taoist instead would be an int-based Krivis-Druid since druid3 would not be good synergy with int and wolf. (EDIT: Wolf does have INT synergy, per @Wurmheart’s post below)
i.e. cleric1 -> priest3 -> chap -> druid2 -> Tao
or cleric1 -> priest3 -> chap -> kriv -> druid -> Tao
Couple other options could be
cleric1 -> priest3 -> chap -> kriv -> PD2
Since magnus is worth using now (DPS is higher than carnivory in large groups since it has no hit limit) I could see these being viable.
Werewolf currently does scales of int, you can see it in the chapperition card x hengestone exploit here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IpH-d9IuWk.
ps, hengestone doubles health/attack while transformed which is also quite good for a krivis build. Not remotely as amazing as storm calling ofc.
Exorcism/Magnus are actually quite good now, though I still kind of wish they’d just separate the two.
Oh ok, i will correct my post. Sorry for misinfo.
I am actually fine with the mechanics of the skill. I can put exorcise down in one area, let it sit there for a while, and activate ME if need be.
Most of the time I will do one right after the other, but it may have some strategic uses.
If you go PD with it, doesnt exorsie or ME work as a debuff too?
On that note, i wonder if prophecy blocks it as well.
Exorcise counts as a debuff but not ME, but I believe the debuff stays on them even after you convert it to ME.
dunno about rank o.o
if u went for chaplain you are bound to be a SPR stat blessing bot no room for dps at all just buff and support Inquisitor is a physical / magical attack offensive class mostly benefits from str/dex/int
STR and INT are pointless for rank 8 classes and skills since the scaling is so miniscule compared to the base damage. May as well invest in con spr or dex. As for clerics, theres no point in going dex since our crit ratio is half assed compared to archers and swords. May as well get like 60-80 dex and invest into spirit and con and grab circle 1 krivis and strip crit resist that way. At least then you’ll be able to crit ground based enemies.
A dex based chaplain ? waow
Adding a ■■■■ ton of int and str isnt that bad once u get to stack glass mole cards or Chapparitions
Not really DEX “based”, but you still need some DEX to hit things in PvP, which is Mimi and my focus in this game.
Putting points into CON or SPR is much more valuable in a pvp environment for Chaplain.
EDIT: I plan to stack lvl 10 ellagonos cards for the DEX I will need as inquisitor.
The sucky part about chaplain is that the mole cards only affect the top line and the chap cards only affect that aspergellium line. The other lines are untouched unless you use the elemental property attack cards and those are straight up garbage that only add 10 property attack each.
I like the idea of ella dex cards, i might have to copy that since im really getting sick of DODGE in tbl. Monstrance only goes so far.
If class resets are ever implemented I bet 75% of chaplain players will swap it out for something else lol. Autoattacks are designed to be worthless from Rank 8 onwards.
And lets face it, deploy Capella isn’t worth a rank.
honestly after the magnus change all 4 skills will have reasonable uses for pvp.
I would never recommend chap for pve unless you are INT priest3 for some reason.
