Cleric/Priest/Oracle Support Build

Class and Rank
#1

title.

i love playing support characters. it’s my bread and butter. i haven’t started playing (yet), but i have it installed. work is keeping me busy.

the above link is my skill build. my stat build will be 1 CON/1 INT/2 SPR. 1 INT or 1 SPR can be moved around.
i think most of my choices are self-explanatory:

c1 Cleric - Heal, Cure and Safety Zone. Deprotected Zone seems like it’d be annoying to use since you can’t control boss/enemy movement.

c1 Krivis - Offensive Support. Zalciai, Daino and Zaibas. Aukuras seems worthless to me.

c1 Priest - Monstrance seems… underwhelming. Everything else is maxed.

c2 Priest - Mass Heal 5/5, Sacrament 5/5, Blessing 10/10. Revive seemed OK, but, with a maxed out Resurrection, it seemed unnecessary.

c3 Priest - 5 points left. 10/10 Sacrament and 5/5 Exorcise. I wasn’t sure what else to get here. Blessing only gets another +20 damage. Mass Heal only gets another 2% per point. I’m not sure on the usefulness of Stoneskin either. so, i’m stuck.

c1 Oracle - Arcane Energy 5/5 and Prophecy 5/5. Both my buff skills maxed. Everything else, but Death Sentence gets a single point. Change, Forecast and Counterspell seem like one point wonders.

as for changes… i could take c2 Krivis over c3 Priest. i know there’s the splash upgrade to Zaibas, but, i’m not sure how that stacks up against Exorcise’s damage potential. Divine Stigma does seem underwhelming, however, if only because the duration is much shorter than its duration. is the splash upgrade of Zaibas worth the negatives? less points in Sacrament, no Exorcise and no potential Revive/Stoneskin.

any advice or changes would be stellar.

well, i suppose, the real question is: is the splash damage of Krivis worth taking over the benefits of c3 Priest? i doubt i’ll get up to c3 Priest before CBT ends simply because i won’t play that much due to knowing it’ll get erased, so, when the leveling starts to slow down, i’ll prolly play less.

Monstrance gives a party-wide 30% buff to Dexterity. This is just from casting, no need to step on circle. General consensus is to take rank 1 of this skill. I would take this at the expense of ressurect 5.

Revive is a great skill, likely the best skill Priest has. Especially if you plan to PvP, but even in PvE it should be good. It is a party-wide buff that lasts for 90 seconds on each affecter person. While active, the person won’t die (gets % heal and invulnerability for few seconds). Prevention is better than cure (as you claim resurrect > revive) and given how long the cooldowns are, this skill will prevent wipes.

The only problem I have with it, is that it pushes out some DPS buffs when I use it to save people, but since you also have Daino, this shouldn’t be an issue.

#4

do support always go oracle for the last rank?

#5

wait, Revive is PARTY-WIDE? the skill calculator just mentions “you”. is it possible they changed it and made it self-cast only?

i doubt anyone has gotten high enough, but, how’s Exorcise? i’ve heard through the grapevine that its underwhelming.

@fjrdomingo: i would assume there are better choices for a r6 class, but, i find the oracles abilities interesting. Druid would probably be a better choice for more offensive support.

#6

i have a party yesterday. 93 c3 priest with nice buffs. she cast revive. yes it is party-wide and a buff to not be incapable of combat once (die i guess?) with 120 secs duration. i certainly remember this because i was surprised also. tho we still need to confirm this on a player that already using this skill. i don’t know if it is a bug or its just that the description is wrong in the skill simulator.

#7

is it worth going C3 priest instead of paladin, for example? i mean getting mass heal 10 and stone skin compared to elemental resistances, and hp/sp regen aura. Also cure is mainly useless unless you got cleric c2-c3 and deprotect zone scales with SPR (at 100 spr it’ll give -100 def to enemies and that is before attributes) - good for party support and leveling.

Sacrament higher than lvl 1? waste of points imo. You mainly need it to enable double proc from blessing.

#8

Not sure what exactly would you like to verify? I have this on my priest.

#9

… now that i’m seeing it like that, i’m not sure if c3 Priest is worth it then. i still to believe that Sacrament is still worth at least 5 points. maybe not 10.

unfortunately, i don’t know how useful Exorcise or Stoneskin are. Exorcise SEEMS useful. unlimited attacks for a 10 second duration at 545 attack. Stoneskin, from the calculator, reads Block + (480 + SPR x 4), but it doesn’t say what it does. does that mean it blocks that much damage? increases your block chance? the description seems like it’d increase block chance.

i suppose taking c3 Priest now depends on how useful those two skills are. otherwise, it seems like it’d be best to invest in another circle. Paladin, as you said, seems to be a better choice. Restoration seems strong, and, i’m guessing it also applies to you. if it doesn’t…

@Crow_mw well, thanks for confirming Revive is party-wide. i’ll have to get it then. i was going off the assumption it only applied to yourself due to the skill description since i’m not high enough to get it yet.

#10

@noequal_1

Restoration does apply to paladin and an aura effect on EVERYBODY nearby, with attribute also provides sp restoration bonus. With Krivis torch restoration aura ticks much stronger and faster (but not SP).

There is one problem of going to paladin from priest C2: character can only have up to 5 buffs at once unless you have Krivis with his Daino, so you have to carefully select which buffs you apply to party so you dont dispel their crucial class effects or your own.

#11

Priest 3 isn’t worth it, unless you go pardoner imo. And that’s under the assumption that exorcise + discerning evil works.

Forget everything about exorcise’s description, here’s how it does work:
It places down a exorcise tile, it lasts for 10s or till a enemy touches it. It tries to inflict a dot onto one enemy when triggered, which can be resisted by magic def, that ticks 15 times over a 10 second period.
Pretty good damage when it works though, but it so incredibly unreliable it’s not even amusing. (picks one enemy at random if it could hit several)
And it scales with int.

Stone Skin is very good though. 35 seconds of 600+ block to the entire party is not something to take lightly. (close 80% physical dmg immunity ahoy)
Downside is it’s 60s cd and that it counts as a buff. And since we already got tons of buffs it kind of means you’re putting points into skills that get overwritten a lot. Not the most ideal situation.

And yes revive is party wide, also affects companions for some reason. Despite them being unable to die.

#12

Any thoughts of this build? It’s more defensive, balance and a standard support for any situation. Or drop c2 Kriv and take Oracle? Open for suggestions. :smile: :smile: :smile:

#13

thanks for more information about c3 Priest. i doubt i’ll get there, since, i’m holding off on playing hard until the game releases so my data doesn’t get erased. what would you suggest over c3 Priest, then? Stoneskin sounds cool, but, since Exorcise works like that… it doesn’t seem worth to get to c3 Priest for one skill. i’d have to retool my build to include Revive since its apparently party-wide too.

@nizidr that’s why i took that one circle in Krivis. well, that and the extra damage from the AoE.

#14

If you still otherwise want cleric,krivis, priest, ?, oracle then i’d say either:

  • Grab 1 Dievdirby for the cooldown and sp reductions, along with the town warp. Currently bugged though and rarely works.
  • Grab 1 Pardoner for the magic def buff and oracle + simony interaction.
  • Grab 1 Paladin for a melee attack, restoration for more healing and resist elements for more magic def.
#15

i was looking at Paladin and it seemed like it’d be a good choice. i was tempted to get another rank in Krivis, but, the only thing i’d really get out of it is the splash on Zaibas. Divine Stigma seems really… awkward to use.

#16

yup me too. i personally think its useless to go c2 kriv if your thinking for the stigma. except of course for the additional level of zaibas. but the stigma skill is a bit underwhelming. anyone using c2 kriv can justify it?
