[Class] Kabbalist Overview

[Huerin]

I’m not a fan of full support clerics, probably because they become a dead weight especially in grinding.

Any magic dps path would benefit from being a kabbal, from ein sof to merkabah. Also I heard that bokor goes well with them, since hexing is considered a curse and merkabah has ailment that can petrify enemies.

The others might have a different opinion about it so best wait for them

Would Cleric2/Priest3/Chap/Kabbalist work out in full support PVE?

This is my current build. I’m also solo leveling this. I do not recommend it for the faint of heart. But yes, as @Huerin mentioned, the build is pretty much dead weight for grinding & world bosses. Dungeons I do well in simply because I have all of the support with a small bit of damage.

If you are considering Kabbalist, do a Magical build. You’ll not want to rip your eyeballs out.

[Huerin]

Thanks @Huerin and @Senpaikunchanperson for the clarification.

For monsters that drop level, how much extra damage will we deal to them? Dropping in levels would give us extra perks like we get reduced damage + become harder to hit?

Theoretically if max out reduce level + a number calculation of 9, we will drop their levels by 14 per cast? (9 + 5 additional)

Must preserve to become a Kabbalist… I’m missing just 5 job levels now to Kabbalist.

Let me answer this.

I did some test on monsters who had orange names (meaning they are high level and will instantly do heavy damage to me)

Reducing enemy level weakens their attack/magic power. On the other hand, there is no change when you attack the enemy. If you hit the enemy with 500 damage, then cast reduce level, you’ll still deal 500 damage…so far

Ein Sof works with Mass Heal ?

[BlackGhost]

Fun Fact: If you are under the affect of Mackangdal (Bokor 2) & use RS before it goes off. All of the accumulated damage will be sent to you seven times over.

sent to you? Shouldn’t it be sent to enemies?

[Sakane]

sent to you? Shouldn’t it be sent to enemies?

Nope. It’s written as it works. Because the “Attacker” of the Mackangdal’s damage is you. So RS will hit you, the “Attacker”, 7 times over.

[BlackGhost]

Well, that’s interesting.

[Sakane]

Ein Sof works with Mass Heal ?

Yes? Ein Sof is a tile that you step on. Mass Heal is a frontal AoE that heals Ally Units inside.

But if you meant HP scaling for Heals. Then yes, because your Maximum HP goes up with Ein Sof. Heal and Mass Heal scale with Maximum HP, so you restore more HP

[Nekorin]

Thanks Huerin for the test. Strange that their attack is affected but not their defense.

[hassu_hz]

Interesting, I have a C1> P3> M2 I am in doubt whether’d get Kabbalist or M3 …Monk 3 would have more damage, including the Energy Blast (duration) and increased dot of one inch punch … but even being monk 2 to do a lot of damage, the problem is that I do not know how it would m2 with Kabbalist

[Huerin]

Then don’t do it then.

Kabbalist at its current state does not provide a lot of interesting skills. I just hope that c2 kabbalist would provide more skills that can attract more people.

As for linking monk to kabbalist skill, No. Only Ein Sof is the only skill that I find it convenient. Other one is the reduce level, but this one needs testing and such.

[Ainnsworth]

I also think it`s strange not to affect their defense too. Even more because the example from the video fits in the level penalty from the damage formula as it is stated in this post:

[Damage Guide] The big formula, modifier types, and how they interact!

Level Penalty
When you’re more than 5 levels below an enemy, a penalty will start increasing the defense of the enemy you hit by 10% per level. Because a monster wont know if you’re lower level until you actually hit it, any defense debuffs it is suffering from are subtracted from its base defense and not the increased defense from the penalty. At 5 levels below a monster, the penalty is 10%. It goes up by 10% by every level after that, so at 6 levels it’s 20%, at 7 levels it’s 30%, and so on

So, I’m wondering if it did the same damage because of other factors, like the hit before the delevel got a better magic amplification or something. It might be a good idea if you test it with a stronger attack that will show slight damage differences better or maybe continue testing to confirm if the results are consistent. Anyway, you’ve already helped us so much this far, this is just a suggestion. Thank you!

[Huerin]

The strongest skill that I have is double punch. I do have an idea where to perform the next test and hopefully this isn’t a bloody bug.

[Ainnsworth]

Maybe someone that is damage dealer could help you on this? Looking foward for results
Thanks again

[Huerin]

*stares at guildmates

Yeah, I better do this on my own. Can’t rely on them

[Randy]

@Huerin , I’ve watched your vid:

Could you please explain this?

You can also repeatedly spam reduce level on the poor mook and it will work again and again until you get tired and bored.

Thanks!

[Huerin]

What it means that you can use the skill reduce level on the enemy, repeatedly.

If I cast the skill on a piggy, then I can do it infinitely. Sadly, you can’t reduce a lv100 to lv0 due to the fact that the skill cooldown is long, even if you have a lv15 reduce level.

[Randy]

Wait, is it permanent or considered a debuff? =O Might be good as a form of damage prevention. I’m all about damage prevention.

[Huerin]

Cant say it’s a debuff since I don’t see an icon underneath the enemy.

But the spell has a duration, so it will return to its original level once the spell expires

[Ainnsworth]

Evil thoughts occur to me right now… Does the delevel effect differentiate between more than one source of the spell? I mean, if there are more Kabbalists, and they reduce the level further before the spell from the previous Kabbalist wears off, does the effect refresh or stack?
