So i love Damballa. I hit bokor3 and Iāve been trying it out.
So now Iām closing in on Rank 6. The long debate on which class to choose that has no real answer. Iāve pretty much narrowed my choices down to the ktos meta Pardoner vs Druid. Iām going pure PVE with 50/50 on solo and party play.
I figured Druids carnivory matches the same playstyle as zombify, but whatās holding me back is the subpar damage from C1. If I want to focus on dps, it seems like an okay replacement for Pardoner. What would seal the deal, is if we knew R9 and R10 classes suck, then hengestone from Druid C3 would substantially increase the Damballa and effigy damage, but gambling on future content is a big nono. Is Druid C1 additional damage really worth the whole rank?
Iāve read that Pardoner might not be as helpful R8 as mobs would generally be wiped before DE is needed, DE sucks in crowded WB fights, and PD2 dps 100% uptime is achievable without DE. Dispeller scrolls can be bought. MDEF buff is⦠Okay, but nothing crazy. Indulgentia would be more useful for pvp.
TLDR; What do you guys think of Druid C1 for rank 6? Pure PVE; some solo, some party play. Meta tells me to go Pardoner, but Iām curious if Druid would be a bad option.
