[Class] Official Sadhu Thread

I understand! i personally feel most people including myself care more about DPS potential. I do agree this class has great potential for be a great support as well. I tend to cater more to the PVP aspect. xD Don’t mean to offend any support players.

Please help, I keep getting hit. how 2 not

you may use fade or safety zone

hit enemy as much as you can, precast zaibas. The enemy should always die walking into the zaibas zone, otherwise you are lacking in damage. You don’t have any real protection true protection outside of safety wall besides the damage fields you can set-up to kill enemies before touching your body. this doesn’t apply to bosses of course.

I’m Cleric 2 Krivis 1 - I’m not sure what sort of bonuses you get as Krivis 2 but i’m sure someone who has built that path has better advice than i do

Zaibas will now do AoE damage and more tics/damage from higher circle. Then if you want the option of using Divine Stigma for some more damage. I pretty much try to have the mob dead before even reaching Zaibas. Otherwise it’s always going to be a struggle that you’re just going to have to kite and cast not using out of body.

Nah, sadhu does not have potential to be a supp, when u pick sadhu with intention of beeing a supp u are burning 1 entire rank, u decrease ur mobility and get 0 spells with supp value. Does not matter that u came from cleric, if u want to support other plp i strong recomend u to follow another path.

Zalciais boosts OOB damage, is there a significant difference in attack power between Zalciai ranks, however?

How much more damage would a Zalci lv 10 give over a lv 5 one?

didn’t find the answer on this one, so i’ll just ask here: does oob damage increase with mace upgrade levels or are they irrelevant?

edit: thanks @dmhamilt

No difference in ranks.
Lvl 1 and lvl 5 do the same boost.
The only difference is if you get the magic amp attribute it will boost it by a tiny bit.

Upgrading a mace will not make your OoB damage better.

No, Mace upgrade dont increase oob damage, its been discussed already here in this thread… if you upgrade your rod enough you can out damage the mace considering they are in the same level or stars… but if you dont have alot of money to spend on upgrades i suggest going with mace…

About the support Sadhu - I’m not even close to level 200 yet, but I’m not sure it is such a terrible idea.

First of all, the options for ‘Full Support’ character are not so hot. You can go for additional Krivis / Priest ranks, Dievdirby or Paladin. All of them offer some supporting capabilities but also there is nothing essential / gamebreaking available here. By going Sadhu you bring good damage on top of the supportive capabilities of C1-C3 classes. You can also go into Oracle at C6. With how optional the higher tier support skills are, a hybrid support might be more desirable than full support.

Not sure the lack of mobility is an issue here. If you need to land a Mass Heal, Pratikiri will get you there faster than walking. A regular heal is usually placed in backline anyway, so it is not a problem that it is placed in front of your main body (and in PUGs OOB actually gives them a big shining arrow -> heals this way). As for general buffs, those are usually big AoE and don’t require any extraordinary positioning.

With the currently accessible classes a ‘full support’ suffers from a lot of downtime. You are not spamming your heals like in many other MMOs, you are not mobbing and you are not using low cooldown spells like Lex Aeterna. Going Sadhu gives you a great filler that potentially contributes to the party more, than auras / statues would.

i like picking up paladin for the perma-damage aura restoration provides, going c3 would allow you to get barrier, which, once the dps buff is implemented, will increase your own damage and that of archers/wiz as well AND keep you safe

I just met a very interesting a guy with a very interesting build.
Cleric C2-> Paladin C1 -> Sadhu C1 -> Cleric C3
Didn’t think fade would be that strong to use. Too bad divine might still sucks or C2 cleric would be a viable route.

I agree if you want to support paladin is the better route plus if you really want some damage grab some and smite/conviction

At high lvls full support is more relevant and important, if you want one of these half ass supports you need 2 of them, and in that scenario i would rather have 1full support and 1 full dps then 2 abominations

I really don’t understand the counter-argument to this. “Full support is completely necessary at all times.” I’ve yet to come across any content that needed a full support to be completed. Or even completed efficiently. In fact, Cleric C1 has had enough healing for everything. I haven’t seen Lvl 200 content so I could simply be wildly inaccurate. There’s a thousand ways to skin a cat and everyone seems to want to pigeon hole Sadhu as a pure DPS class. There will always be moments when a full support is just standing around doing nothing. They’re both valid options as far as I can tell and I wouldn’t want someone to craft a hybrid build only to be told 20 times that the idea is worthless. A class thread should be about discussing the possibility of interesting builds, not nay-saying anything that isn’t a part of the current meta.

We are doing exactly that and apparently some of us think that support sadhu is not a viable possibility.

Actually the combo of people doing Cleric->Krivis2->Sadhu2->Druid and Cleric->Priest3->Monk->?Paladin? is really strong for two people in a group complementing each other perfectly. The Sadhu gives Daino then Monk all the Priest buffs along with them both having damage on the physical and magical side. Then you’ve got 2 sets of heals and 2 strong DPS in the group pretty much capable of taking on anything. From there you can build into just about any setup with Swordsman/Mage classes like Linkers and Barbarians.

Nobody is really going to be like “Wow! You’ve got 10 more hits on your Safety Wall and Guardian Saint? Let me just invite you over the DPS buff machine that can pretty much solo everything!” considering everything. Cleric higher circles got nerfed into the ground after icbt1 it’s pretty bad man along with Pardoner and Oracle. They just are simply not as useful potential wise compared to other options when dissected under a microscope.

But hey! To each their own I suffered through Cleric 3 in the first beta and it WAS good when Divine Might added +10 skill levels and now really sucks. That’s why we’re here to test out things and figure what works and doesn’t. With the way things are right now going “pure support” isn’t as effective because of how they literally nerfed just about every aspect of doing it aside Priest3->Paladin2. You’re pretty much going to be carried all the time and that personally makes me feel like crap.
