Oookayy hi guys, first time posting on the forums… I’d like to ask youse for some help on my SPR build Chaplain.

I’ve been upping SPR way more than CON. And I think my SPR is double my CON currently. Haven’t allocated any other statpoints. (except 1 on INT when the quest told me to up my stats) Which shouldn’t be a problem.

Anyhow this is my SKILL BUILD…

Likely going to put max aspergillum and Deploy Capella. Now Last rites and Magnus Exorcimus I have questions about these spells.

Does Last Rites stack with Sacrament?
Is below the 40% threshold on my character or my allies individual hp’s?

Magnus Exorcimus will I need to take Exorcise in Priest3? Or does it work anyway? I guess Exorcise will make the player stunned, therefore allowing you to ME(Magnus) him on the spot easier. (like a combo between classes)

Remember that I’m playing SPR and CON. I dont know what other stat to allocation my points on.

I guess I’ll be Left Clicking / Autoattacking most of the time. But I do like my occasional mobs.Which I guess I can slay them with Aspergillum as Aspersion does dmg to 10 enemies.

Btw, my playstyle is on Buffs, Debuffs, autoattacking, looting (I love mobbing) and Heals (Not gonna fuckin’ heal 24/7 just the occasional “oh you need a heal?” I’m a priest! BAM) and playing other games such as Dota 2 whilst I afk.

Will read all your suggestions and advices of Next Job Advancement classes
AND Stat Allocation… as this is my main character and don’t want to fall off whilst hitting the lvl 200 mark.

Thanks! Currently lvl 104 and still not a chaplain yet buahahahahaha

Exorcise will gone for good when it traggers…So I guess u have to cast ME before anything stepping on it~

#3

Wow… So cast ME first then exorcise… Hmm do you know if it deals good damage for SPR builds?

#4

Not sure~I went INT-DEX build~0 point into SPR~But expected to be only scale with int~

And actually…ME requires exorcise exist first…

SPR with Stoneskin makes ur a block king! You DO NOT NEED TO EQUIP A SHIELD TO BLOCK.

Seeing as you prioritized SPR over INT, your aspergillum dmg will be lower compared to INT chaplains.

Deploy Capella uses ur skill levels and ur stats. This results in a potentially 100% uptime for Stoneskin. Parties will love you for it and their survival goes way up against PHYSICAL dmg enemies. Magic damage enemies wise well… We’ll go to that later.

If i were you, ill DEFINATELY not touch ME and exorcise. Too much set up and easily disrupted (when enemies touch ur exorcise tile before you cast ME)

Chaplains auto attacks are really close ranged, much of that you can tell. You will want to invest into more CON in the future if you intend to get up close and personal in dungeons. Open fields are fine. Dungeons hurt. Alot.

Suggestions for rank 6?
Cleric. Simple. I know you dont want be ‘heal 24/7’ but come 190dg and above, having 10 heal tiles per cast is godsent. Level 5 heal aint gonna cut it. True you will have Mass heal, but there are downtimes in between and mob densities are huge. Plus they are a mix of magical and physical damage. Cleric also offers an enhanced Safety Zone for your party and ur tank espeically when he’s holding the aggro of magic mobs. It hurts. Like hell.

If you are going to use the party search most of the time, being the only healer means you will be healing mostly.

I’ve been thinking Pardoner 2, for the next 2 ranks… Its magic def buff and also scales on SPR how does that sound? yes i won’t have much power, but i’ll definitely give defense from all kinds of directions. A powerful defense means no need for heals… Won’t need to use party search as I’ve got a my friends who are…

Fletchers, Reitser on PvP
Elementalist Linker
Summoner
Cataphract
Barbarian
and I think a Squire.

Yes i will need plenty of backups to my ranged allies… But these guys are all playing CON, i’m thinking mass heal is enough. as it does give out percentage heal… and i can tell them to back out if I dont have heal.

EDIT:
aaaand a Dievdirby with a C2 in Cleric.

#7

By all means sure. Yes you are right, increase MDEF scales with SPR. If i had to guess you would want to earn money tru spell shop right?:stuck_out_tongue:

But do note, you gain nothing much apart from discerning evil(situational) and increase mdef… So it might get stale (for me at least)

#8

Yeah, gonna have greedy builds on my other characters.So might aswell make my main a gold mine. However, Chaplain Pardoner2 or Pardoner3? raises that concern for me now… Cause Pardoner 3 does mean 15 lvls in simony. Making all my shifty buffs quite attractive. Hmmm, Stat allocation wise. will 7 dex do? I’m feeling like as a Chaplain you’re in the front of the fight. It literally becomes just a half buff front liner + magic and phys buffer. I’ve got no debuffs which is quite sad. I want to chase people stun, while someone DPS and kills em to the ground, Slow people, minus their armor, save lives. :smiley: I guess it won’t be the cleric class who gets to do that. Even though plague doctor seems quite wowzers to me. cure allies, debuffs, but i’m a FACKIN’ CHAPLAIN I’m in the front with aspergillum dealing physical attack/magical.

I’m lvl 107 and don’t know anything above the levels above me. However, If physical and magical deff is upped like hell… wont all dungeons/missions just fear my team?

#9

I dont think u can go for Pardoner3 with Chaplain~Chaplain already R5, Pardoner2 R7, this is what you can get by now~u wont have room for Pardoner3 until they rise the cap to R8~

As for dungeon, 130 still easy. 145 will be the gap, u dont really want to be in the front line. At lv190, u gonna die if u try to melee unless u have a strong CC party…I have been down that road before…

#10

You… Are misunderstanding Pardoner.

Simony only has a list of scrollable skills. Priest and chaplain skills, ALL OF IT are non-scrollable. Spell shop works with Priest skills (blessing, sacrament and aspersion) thats it. Do check out the forums for a very detailed guide on pardoners and its current state.

You seem to be mixed up what current classes in ToS does with other games @.@ no cleric circle has stun. We can go up and personal in pvp… And get cc-ed like poop. Your build now has 0 anti cc, so u pretty much become a target without much defences.

Defence in this game is a flat decrease.
Lets say 1000dmg, 500mdef results in 500remaining damage recieved.
What if the damage goes to 3000, you will recieve 2500.

The best way, for me, to support my team is not only to top their health up but also to mitigate damage completely. Currently i use safety zone so that the tank can survive a large pull with ease. This means regardless of ur def or hp, u will not recieve any damage from hits.

Other mitigation spells include Ausrine statue from dievdirbys C3 or Druid’s strea trofh C2.

Judging from your friend’s composition, looks like you will be main healer? I hope you can juggle dpsing, keeping urself alive(most important), constantly buffing, keeping your team alive. With 5 heal tiles, revive and mass heal :stuck_out_tongue:

And yea, you cannot got Pardoner C3. Thats circle 8. Not out yet.

EDIT: just wna say, im a chaplain myself; dont think too highly of your personal dps. Compared to dps classes, your damage is not much compared to theirs. You lack aoe too (aspergillum vs frost cloud, heh you know who wins). Being up close means being on the recieving end of damage too, aka u will wna heal urself by using ur heal tiles or mass heal.

#11

AA itself not that good indeed, but how about [Five Hammer]+Carve Attack<3 Easily burst down group of mobs~

#12

Not in dungeons… No… Focusing on dpsing and ignoring ur role as the (only)* healer is a bad idea D;

I usually attack when I’m sure my team wont suddenly die. And thats usually when mobs thin out after a large pull

#13

I am just saying_(:з」∠)_
Actually I dont have much time to DPS myself in dungeon either~
Maneuver, place heal in right spot, replenish buff already take up most of my time~The only case I DPS is when I see ranged mob sniping my party from outside, I will go there and burst it down~

#14

Lets hope OP gets the idea of whats he’s getting into xD

#15

Not true. You can scroll monstrance.[quote=“Krisstina, post:13, topic:235137”]

What really? What are you doing when your stuff is on CD? Standing around? This isn’t one of those mmos that has you occupied by spamming heal only.

#16

There’s the mace passive from the Cleric Attribute, altho it’s a low chance.

Buffing and healing can take up a lot of time. That would be less the case if buffs (particularly Blessing and Aspergillum) would last longer.

#17

I have pardoner 2 and went spirit myself and personally I value the mdef, but it comes with major drawbacks.

It cannot negate damage of a spell to 0, it stays at 1 minimum that means under magic fire your barrier will break swiftly.

However I strongly suggest that all chaplains should use 1 rank for oracle. Change is too strong a skill for all kind of mat farming purposes to pass it up for the alternatives. Rank 6 can’t really give anything amazing by itself to the chaplain.

You have to decide if you wanna go a bit more damage or support. Support you could do 2x druid for invincibility, classic rank 6 whatever rank 7 PD.

I have no confirmation, but maybe the cleric stun is spreadable via plague doctor pandemic.

The stun is definitely increasable by discerning evil so if everything goes perfect you proc a stun, prolong and spread and suddenly you have a 15s stun AoE which of course is also a form of defense.

I buff as well but there’s always time to do other things. Maybe your game is laggy?

forgotten is right. Even in dungeons a pull only survives for like 5 secondsat soon as they’re are stacked so you get to cast 2 spells and then it is over already
