Cleric Build Check

Class and Rank Cleric
#11

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?

#13

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?

#15

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.

#16

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

#17

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.

#18

@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.

#19

@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

Argghh

  • scratching head intensifies *

Cant decide.

#22

I am building a c2->p3->ch->pd also.
I am also trying to decide on my stats also.
Currently I was thinking of… 150 Con 100 dex rest spr.
Dex is still kind of questionable though. Main reason was that against high evasion, you can’t really hit them with no dex.
so… yeah.

#23

This is the new build after reviewing the feedbacks

Stats would be capping spr around 50 and con around 100, the rest on int.

Do give feedbacks!

Special thanks to:
@rya.reisender for spending time reviewing my build and giving detailed answer.
@prinzhernan for the clarification of stone skin nerf.
@bloodychaos17 for the info regarding blessing update from KToS.

#24

Healers are support, please decide if you’re a DPS-Support or a Full-Support.

As clerics we are not required to do DPS, just stand back and let others do the DPS for you.

Pick stat and classes accordingly to your build. (i.e. Full Support doesnt need high int; also chaplain is for solo buff not party) Why not kabbalist? for support. HP increase is welcomed.

Prepare to use unorthodox equipment as FullSupport (i.e. using draketail due to con, and shield) As a support, if you die then the party dies.

This is true only if you always play with a large party. Some people like to Support usually, but also want to be able to farm items and stuff, that’s why they pick Chaplain.
Also I found even if I party up with my friend who is DPS Wizard, so we have a two-player party, I can still contribute quite strongly to the damage.
The only times at the moment where I really feel like I can go all like “You do the damage, I keep you buffed and alive” is in instanced dungeons/missions.

#26

I understand your point, I’m a pseudo-DPS cleric myself.

However, based on the above post. Being a full-support or a pseudo-support were not clear. Clarifying would be much better in the longrun, as well as helps remove doubts about your current build. (I noticed that one poster indicated and ask what a healer would do if you’re not healing, which in itself is not a question applicable for a cleric.)

If you’re going C2>Priest3>Chaplain>PD, that is indeed a variant and semi-solo DPS. But I won’t label it as Full-Support as there are other ranks better than Chaplain(solo-buffs) and PD(overused).

As a Semi-Support variant, the build proposed with Chaplain and PD is “good”.

Thank you for the feedback, you mentioned kabalist. I have no experience whatsoever, but from what I heard kabalist is not in the best shape at the moment.

#28

Sadly, its not that fine tuned atm. As such, if you’re getting it as full-support you’d only be getting the HP buff skill as something of use.

Though I have no experience in using it, most high lvl activities would love to have that skill in their party.

In any case, as you’d be rolling Semi-DPS / Support-Oriented. It won’t apply to you? or are you considering it?

My initial plan is to go with cleric2>priest3>chap>pd

But since semin dps is not so welcomed, you even stated that its “ok” build. I might be going for dps or full support orientated.

If I’m going full support, I might forego chaplain and go for krivis.

As in dps type, I was thinking about cleric>priest3>chap>druid2? But I’ve invested around 20+ spr on my build, not sure if that still viable.

In conclussion, I cant decide yet… Full support seems nice but at the same time, the leveling wont be pleasant, and I’ll be depending on my team for the damage.

#30

I apologize in advance if I’ve caused you any confusion. I put “ok” is because I have an aversion for chaplain xD, though It doesn’t necessarily mean its bad. The reason is most build Priest3 for party-support, yet gave up at the end by getting Chaplain class which is a personal-buff.

All clerics need SP regardless of their builds. You should be ok, and may even need to add spr later. Druid is more of a PvP as i’ve been seeing.

If it is your first char, I’d recommend getting a Support-Oriented but still be able to solo type of build. In that regard C2-Priest3 is good to have, and you’d need to pick up an aoe skill along the way (maybe Krivis for lightning?). As for other classes:

Krivis - Buffcount, DPS
Paladin1 - Restoration, increases heal
Dievderby - Utility
Oracle - Chance/Utility
Plague Doctor - Debuff/Utility
Pardoner - Debuff/Scrolls
Kabbalist - HP Buff
Monk/Sadhu/Druid - DPS Classes, sry can’t comment on these as i dont know them well enough.

Better choices would be Oracle/Kabbalist/PlagueDoctor, though that would be just my preferences. With whatever you picked, I would still recommend a rank2 of cleric for convenience. Although it is not necessary.
