I tested both and overall it felt like SadhuC3>PD3 performed better, specially in sustained DPS. Zealot has an easy setup burst AOE, but with proper skills usage PD3 can perform similar for burst situations.
Build 1: Cleric C2>Krivis C3>Oracle C2>Zealot 2 full SPR
The strongest combo is Fanatic Illusion + Blind Faith. Immolation and Fanaticism are pretty weak compared to PD3.
Blind Faith is a damage increase buff just like Blessing and Transmit Prana, much more stronger (as long as you have a large SP pool), but the problem here is that Blind Faith has a 40 hit count, which is way too few in aoe situations. You have an insane aoe burst for only a short period of time, and after that you have to wait 35~40 seconds to both skills come off cooldown, while you recover your SP through potions or sitting.
Build 2: Cleric C2>Diev C1>Sadhu C3>Plague Doctor C3 80 SPR rest INT
Nothing different from what I played before the patch (I was SadhuC3/PD2). This build is more consistent for DPS, and can have similar burst potential compared to Zealot (Black Death Steam + Incineration + Possession). The only downside is that you need to cast the skills in the right directions, while Zealot has an easier setup for burst.
Perhaps Bokor C3 instead of Krivis could be stronger for DPS. I dislike summon classes, but Iāll try to test this build to see how it performs compared do PD3. Krivis Melstis is not really necessary, since usually Blind Faith will reach its hit count before Fanatic Illusion ends.
