Hello fellows :slight_smile:
I would like to ask for some advice regarding my Cleric Support/DPS build since I am a full blown noob (nerver even played Ragnarok online nor TOS beta). I have some friends I would like to play with (Squire, Elementalist & Doppelsoeldner) but considering that there is a big chance they will outlevel me, I want to make a build that has supportive qualities but can also endure on its own. So this is what I came up with:

Here are my thoughts on this build:

I was looking for a INT/SPR build since I wanted to get some boost on my heals, but also wanted some damage. Now, since I read that most damage in TOS is being dealt via auto attack I wanted to go with Sadhu since I read that the OoB skill pretty much makes your auto attacks based on INT (please correct me if that was a wrong assumption!). Additionally I felt that Vashita Siddhi sounds like a nice debuff I would like to spread with Pandemic. For protection I went with 5 tiles Safety zone and Stone skin.
So basically I wanted to base my dmg output on Exorcise, Vashita Siddhi & Incinerate (spreading it with Pandemic) as well as auto attacks with OuB and Astral Body Explosion.

As for healing: I know that only 5 tiles Heal is quite weak - I am hoping that I can still do some decent healing via Mass Heal and deliver some protection via Revive. Additionally I chose Fumigate to be able to cleanse status ailments.

Now there are some things I am not sure about:

  1. I went with Aspersion because I felt like the physical defense pared with the small damage buff scaled with SPR is superior to Blessing, Monstrance or Sacrament. Correct me if I am wrong!!

  2. I know that I am missing out on a decent heal by not going for Healing Factor. I am thinking if it might be a better choice to put the points from Deprotected zone into Cure (which is only a weak cleanse however) and chose Healing Factor over Fumigate. What do you think?

Lastly I read a lot about Exorcise being resisted all the time, Incineration not spreading with Pandemic and Sadhu OoB being very squishy. But as far as I understood the Resist problem does affect many skills and definitely seems like something that needs to be worked on. Regarding the Incinerate issue I also saw youtube videos where it seem to worked perfectly fine.

What do you guys think? Complete nonsense? Or actually a decent idea? >< And if so, how could I improve it? What stats attribution do you recommend?

Thank you for any kind of input in advance!

Sincerely,
slightly naive, yet enthusiastic noob :slight_smile:

Not gonna work.

And there’s plenty of sadhu/priest topics covering these type of questions.

Blessing and Sacrament doesnt proc with Sadhu’s OoB. So Priest + Sadhu = bad.

Mass Heal is OK when maxed. Healing tiles are much better.

Healing Factor is good.

Exorcise is meh.

@Wurmheart: I aplogize if I offended you by opening a thread concerning my specific questions. I did not read all topics (and yes I read your beginner guide) due to limited time, so I gave my own thread a shot.

@imperidal: Thank you a lot, I did not know that yet. This obviously makes my build obsolete.

Thank you guys for your answers, have a good day! (And nice easter holidays if applicable)

Don’t worry, it’s not offensive at all.

Just not quite in the mood to repeat answers atm. And you still have a lot to read up on judging by your post. The official sadhu topic should be helpful as well.

I’ll give you a few pointers though:

  • Defense is a very poorly scaling stat atm, since the def from equips doesn’t compare to the dmg of mobs or players.

  • Healing factor is not a must have for clerics in general, but it’s to good to skip if you do go pd.

  • Only debuffs/status conditions can be resisted, other types of raw dmg cannot. But exorcise should be quite nice with pandemic if it lands. (leveling will be slow though.)

  • The sadhu circles won’t do much tbh, you’re far to interrupt prone as a priest.

No problem. If youre still interested in Sadhu, i could tell you a lil bit of my experience with it.

In iCBT1&2, i play exclusively on Sadhu. Made few Sadhus to test which build is the best for me. My highest leveled Sadhu was lv181.

Long story short this is the best route:

Cleric C3 > Sadhu C2 > Druid(?) > PD(?)

I put question marks because im still not 100% sure of the choice. Main reason for Druid is for carnivory and transformation to Panto for traveling. PD for all PD’s goodness.

To get to Cleric C3 can be a pain in the ass but its totally worth it and since they have put in alot more quests in, leveling should be easier.

Main reasons for Cleric C3 is for max fade and safetyzone. Safetyzone has 48 CD with 20 sec duration. So when you pop safetyzone, you’ll have 28 CD left for safetyzone. While that, you can pop Fade which lasts for 30 secs and that covers the whole downtime of your safetyzone and repeat. Use divine might to extend your Fade by 2 seconds. So yeah, 100% protection and you can AA all day. Leveling in a high aggro place is a breeze.

Keep in mind though, this was back in iCBT2. Things might have change a lil bit, go read through Sadhu’s thread for better confirmation.
