I’d say go with both druid3 and sadhu3, even if you want to ignore lycan.
Ideally with druid3 as the r9 option so you can always reset it even if IMC doesn’t give out a reset event or if you miss it.
Sadhu3 is very good mind you, but transmit prana only boosts matk hits for now. And therein lies an issue.
Most matk ranks aren’t that good with a mere 1 rank, only miko (and druid1 but you got that already) are passable tbh at that point.
Which means you have 3 choices:
- Ignore the matk synergy and grab druid3 for the +20/30% dmg boost and added carni/sterea trofh scaling. Lycan is also nice on top, but a tp blom is also very potent.
- Grab Miko for Hamaya, which has a small aoe and annoying placement but alright dmg.
- Aim towards an ideal r10 rank, like PD2 and thus get PD1 to prepare for that moment.
Druid3/Sadhu2 just doesn’t have that issue, they can just grab zealot1 or inquisitor1 and do pretty well as hybrids.
Best case scenario is if we get a decent matk skill on one of the future r8 class options, but that’s gonna take a while. (that or kabbalist suddenly getting a proper buff)
