Cleric Build Check

Hi ToS community! I have played this game on May but unfortunately exams stopped me for awhile. Now that I finally got the chance to play, I have some questions.

Planned route: Cleric2>Priest3>Chaplain>Plague Doctor

  1. What stats should I be looking for? My current plan is:
    100con, the rest on spr.

  2. Is there room for improvement for my skill distribution?

3 . What attribute should i invest first?

Thank you.

what are you going to do if you are not healing? which will happen most of the time

Auto attack with aspergillum, as it scales with spr.

Very nice build!

  1. 100 CON, rest SPR is good. (can also go INT instead of SPR, but I will assume you go SPR in my following comments)

  2. Why not get Aspersion 5/5 on Priest C1?
    Sacrament 1/10 is ok-ish, but if you go Chaplain you’d usually want it at 5/10 at least. Then it has synchronized duration with Last Rites. But 10/10 Revive is also a reasonable choice I guess.
    Incineration is kinda bad if you are a no-INT build. Beak Mask also not really needed, but possible.

  3. Being able to switch off healing is nice once you reach the first instanced dungeon. Other than that, max blessing damage first. Then dark resist from Sacrament. Duration increase for Revive is good too but you need to get all 5 attributes at once (because getting it increases CD by 15s). Oh and don’t forget the number of target increase buffs, those are important too later on. You can first get one or two levels only and then max them later.
    Oh and stun with Mace weapon also is kinda nice.

First of all, thank you very much.

Regarding above, would you recommend
A. 10/10 revive, 1/10 sacrament
B. 6/10 revive, 5/10 sacrament
C. 5/10 revive, 10/10 sacrament, 1/5 stone skin (maybe my spr could cover it up?)

Then should I completely let go Incineration?

Thank you!

A, B and C are all ok. Really just decide whether you want to be more the defensive buffer / healer that keeps the party alive (then go for A) or if you want to have good offensive buffing (B/C).

Regarding C I want to say that right now, you can go with 1/5 Stone Skin because block increases with SPR*4 so if you are pure SPR build the bonus from the skill points is neglectable. But on kToS the skill was heavily nerfed to only give SPR/2 additional block, if we get that update too you will probably regret only having 1/5 Stone Skin. However, you might as well just use a skill reset potions later when the nerf comes.

And yes, I would not learn Incineration at all, it’s usually recommended for INT-based Chaplain, but for SPR-based Chaplain it’s not that good. You can still get it because the only benefit from dropping it and beak mask is that you can put higher levels into Fumigate (3/5) and Pandemic (2/5).

…or you could just save up those 3 skill points and wait for 8th rank to be released.

The nerf to stone skin only applies to team battle league. PvE is unaffected by this.

Ah that’s cool then.

Thanks again, I’ve made more research regarding full support cleric and majority of feedback I got is that: cleric is better at semi dps, whereas full support is more to linker chrono build.

I was thinking to roll a mix on int/spr/con instead. Mind giving feedback?

Clerics are what you make out of them. You can be full support or you can be DPS+Support. Though I think as full support you’d probably drop Chaplain and get Krivis instead.

Full Support Chrono is much easier to build because it’s pretty much fixed what the perfect build for that is (except you can decide between Cryo3 or Link2), but I wouldn’t say that you have to be Chrono if you want to be a full support. Don’t forget that Chrono can’t heal and heal is pretty much the most important support role, at least in ToS.

I was thinking to roll a mix on int/spr/con instead. Mind giving feedback?

Not so good for future content. What you might not know is that your stats will raise faster the higher they are. So if you don’t focus on one stat, you will lose out on a lot of total stat points. That’s the main reason why guides usually try to focus on one stat and the mandatory CON.

But then again, stats only have a minor role in ToS, so you can hardly mess up.

Thankks again, your reply is so well written, couldn’t asked more. Sorry to annoy you, but one last thing. I currently invested 20 spr, 5 con. Is it too late to go for int?

You may want to put more points in blessing for futur update, from Ktos:

The skill now also scales according to SPR and INT.

Hey thanks for the update, how much would you say good for future blessing, and which point to deduct from?

The change in Blessing seems to me just one more reason NOT to increase Blessing Level. It doesn’t scale with level, right?

Right now:
Level 3 - +123
Level 15 - +170

kToS with 100 INT and 100 SPR:
Level 3 - +203
Level 15 - +250

Am I missing something?

@HelloKitty
It’s perfectly fine for Priest to mix in some SPR early on, so you can still switch to INT build. I’m surprised you want to switch to INT though. But for Chaplain it’s reasonable.

Blessing gains additional damage bonus of (0.06 * SPR + INT * 0.02) * (skillLevel – 1)

Ah, so it’s actually multiplied with skill level! Thanks for that, that’s interesting. So maxing Bless is really good later on.

No prob for me though because I’ll just buy a skill reset potion when we get the balance update.

@rya.reisender
Well the community was against the full spr build as chaplain. And as a new player I’m not that confident to yolo my build.

@HelloKitty
I don’t know because it’s still new (blessing changed last week) but this +700 dmg added to some buffs or debuffs can bring some amazing numbers.

Blessing + Divine might + Swell brain + Shield bash39(Rodel skill) + life line

Edit: BUT! we don’t know when we will get that patch so… up to ya to wait or not.

It has ups and downs:

SPR Chaplain:

  • Stronger Deprotected Zone
  • Stronger Stone Skin
  • Stronger Monstrance (debuff)
  • [Stronger Blessing if we get that kToS update]
  • Never run out of SP and great magic defense

INT Chaplain:

  • More damage and healing with “Heal”
  • More damage with “Cure”
  • Slightly more damage with Aspersion (also scales with SPR, but you get bonus damage with INT)
  • Consequently slightly more damage with Aspergillum
  • Incineration becomes viable skill choice
