Yes Out of Body is the signature skill.
What out of Body does is create a spirit which has an auto attack, it cannot be damaged and it gives you access to Vashiti, Prakriti and Astral Body Explosion.
It is fine because it’s an auto-attack.
Melee do 100% of their physical attack per AA, a crit gives them (100% physical - Enemy def) *1.5 + Crit attack, except critical attacks are RNG and inconsistent.
Sadhu on the other hand has 150% magical all the time, which is akin to basically having permanent crits. This is also important as Magical attacks 1) Aren’t given a penalty based on enemy type, 2) Cannot miss.
Since the skill can be enhanced it gets doubled and on an enemy with 0 defense you would be doing 3x your magical attack. This is triple the damage of a physicals auto attack.
Now there are other classes with potent auto attack buffs like Sadhu.
Chaplains also utilize their AA’s for damage, their directly scaling with Int basically goes up to 2x (enhanced asper) but they have a lot of base damage from their other hits. Sadhu is potentially 3x but Sadhu doesn’t have high base damage to go with that.
QS has running shot.
Archer c2/c3 has Running shot.
Barbarian has Frenzy.
Frenzy is a flat buff to AA’s. Sadhu’s is multiplicative.
Sadhu has great AA’s, but thats what they are. AA’s.
Lets take it from the top again
Sadhu 1.5x scaling, can be enhanced for an additional 2x multiplier at the end. Scales off INT
Regular auto attacks.
1x scaling, cannot be enhanced. Additional attacks can be obtained from Sacrament, Fire Weapon, and cafrisun set. 1.5x damage if you crit, Crits vary from 0-100% chance.
Running shot: ~3x modifier + 30% aspd.
Kneeling shot: additional attack speed, and now 1:1 scaling with Dex.
Chaplain: 1x physical scaling + 1x Aspersion scaling, asperion can be enhanced for 2x modifier at the end. Sacrament adds an extra attack and Last rites. Damage doesn’t happen if the attack is blocked or misses as a result of it being applied through a physical hit. So again basically 1x to 2x Int scaling + a lot of base damage.
Sadhu has the best magical scaling auto attack, followed by Chaplain and then Quick Cast Wizard 3 AA’s.
Running shot is the best AA buff, but Sadhu’s OoB is potent as well.
Chaplain will oft do more damage then a solo Sadhu as while Sadhu’s scaling is better, Chaplains bases are more than high enough to make up for lower scaling.
OoB itself is fine.
ABE is underwhelming as is Vashiti.
