Iâm just not very fond of Krivis. I really want to like Krivis, but I just feel they are considerably underwhelming compared to Cleric. Zaibas dmg is on par with Cure and cleric circles add much more than Krivisâ ones do (more healing, safety wall, divine might). Zalciai magic amp is really bad for not scaling, Itâs not really worth one buff slot just for the fix +42 magic amp.
I donât find Daino to be all that useful. You already have 8 (i think?) buff slots by default with token and attribute. Many buffs are complete waste of slots (Reflect Shield, Swift Step, âŚ). Youâre basically getting a skill just to prevent yourself from being overbuffed by bad party members buffs. And then on the situations you really need Daino, then you have the scrolls.
To me, Krivis circles are only worth taking if you are already a Cleric 3 but want more placeable AoEs magic damage skills 
But again, thatâs just my opinion.
[/quote]Zaibas might be comparable dmg to Cure, but itâs also one more good skill for the dmg rotation. For Cleric, who struggles with INT fillers unless they go for certain classes (Bokor), this is a pretty great help⌠and Zaibas dmg being comparable to Cure only means Zaibas is really good, since Cureâs scaling is op in the first place 
thatâs 9 if you take the token, not everyone has token though, especially if the player is new
Thing is, Cleric2>Priest3 in particular has way too many buffs, so itâs very very easy to overbuff your party members yourself. You have:
- Safety Zone (counts for the limit yay)
- Divine Might
- p sure Fade counts?
- Even if you donât have/use Aspersio, nothingâs stopping your party members from buying it from Pardoner
- Blessing
- Sacrament
- Monstrance, if anyone in your partyâs physical-based
- Revive
- Stoneskin
Granted only 4/5 of those would be active 100% of the time, or used constantly in DMâs case⌠but you canât assume wiz/archer party members have token unless youâre doing high level content (hence 6 limit), and you need the freedom to be able to Stoneskin/Revive/SZ/Fade (#whenthetankfails) whenever, without worrying about buff limits.
Then you take self-buffs and buffs of later ranks into consideration⌠and well, â â â â . That build with PD or Chaplainâs completely screwed without Daino, and many classes do have quite a few self-buffs.
In addition, considering IMC has expressed concern about Pardoner - and in particular, about Pardoner stealing the usefulness of Krivisâs Daino through scrolls - itâs very reasonable to expect that in the future, at the very least, Daino wonât be eligible for Simony anymore. This might take a year or more to happen, but on some builds I definitely donât want this risk, and Cler2>Priest3 is one of them.
All this isnât usually a problem if the build has no P3 in it though.
