So I’m nearing C5 and I have a Cleric 1 > Priest 1>2>3 and I’m a bit stuck on what to do. I was originally going to just go Chaplain, but I’m a bit afraid that it doesn’t scale well as a support into the late game, while Pardoner’s Increase Magic Defense is always going to be great and being able to make money with spell shop is a plus. On the other hand, Chaplain would at least allow me to solo level decently even if my stats are geared towards full support. I was aiming to go into Plague Doctor for C7 as well but that can change. Any thoughts from people with experience?
why not bothe

lol sorry it was just the perfect moment
I dont see any reason for u to pick Pardoner unless u want to be an AFK shop…
Chaplain is pretty decent. Last Rites adds an additional attack increasing your DPS significantly. Aspergillum also makes your attacks pretty strong.
Only down side is Deploy Capella and Magnus Exorcismus which are both horrible skills.
I honestly would not suggest you do Pardoner unless you just wanna sell scrolls. It should be a secondary class.
You went priest 3. The only support you can offer that scales well into late game are [revive] [resurrection] (this is debatable because of soul crystals) and to some extent [aspersion] (people buy off the pardoners that sell anyway so … you get the idea).
As for the mdef buff from pardoner’s [increase magic defense], it has about 50% uptime. On the other hand, a [barrier] scroll (in abundance at the market) will do the same thing with 100% uptime.
The only useful thing pardoners have to offer in combat is [discerning evil]. It’s a different story if you want to use [spell shop] to make money though, but that needs c2.
But… you can buy barrier and use the Increase Mdef Skill, to get, erm +700? MDef in SPR build.
Plus Pardoner has nice synergy with PD.
However I’m not sure that both path are FS choises. Maybe Pal3 will be more supportive.
I went pard 1 route and it happens to be fine, I like it much better then the chappy route mainly because it offers defensive options. Damage is obviously worse, but you’ll have more utility thanks to pard 1 abilities actually being support abilities.
Discerning evil is big highlight for anyone that wants to be PD, as you could theoretically could spread a 5 second freeze or something to other mobs then extend it to 15 seconds.
All in all if you aren’t sure, you can go cleric2 instead as it always ends up on full support builds anyways
