Eyyo! Well I oracles costume is too cute to not have, and i’m always debating on on having at least 1 rank in Oracle. But with that said,
I’ve been given the deets from a lvl 200+ support player (wurmheart), and he gave me this to think twice about choosing Oracle.
Arcane Energy is bonus stam/sp but doesn’t improve the recovery. Only monks get some use out that due to double punch costing stamina and energy blast being based on how much sp you have.
The attribute seems to be bugged and inflicts dmg only once i’ve heard.
Change is pretty nice, in that in can give you more jackpot mobs. Sadly most good loot does not come from mobs, but boss cubes instead. So sadly it’s not that good. Also doesn’t really affect the outcome of a fight.
Clairvoyance, same issue as change. Only affect mob drops as bosses will always drop a cube. You tend to be better of killing mobs asap though. esp with all the killstealing.
Seems to be bugged atm and misses mobs even when it shouldn’t.
Counterspell, can actively remove and stop a good amount of magic dmg. Giving it a niche in pvp and pve. But it also affects allied spells to a degree and in pvp enemies can just walk out of it’s range. Rather mediocre tbh.
Forecast, pretty good. Sadly most bosses are highly predictable and often repeated, so you shouldn’t need it that much to begin with.
Also currently bugged from what i heard.
Resetting, nice idea. Horrible 3 min cd. To minor of a benefit for the reasons listed at change as well.
Prophecy, pretty decent. But the low count of conditions stopped makes it expire rather quickly.
Death Sentence, longest cd ever? 10 min juck. also a r1 status so every cleric can remove it with cure and doesn’t work on bosses. ps, also slow as hell.
Now, I don’t know how your Oracle will also play a part for your team, as Counter Spell and Arcane energy is best support skills you’ll have compared to other classes, which have plenty more. You might want to first see what you can do to help your team mates, and to solo well. (Chaplain made it so easy already to solo) So now what?
If you plan on GvG. I would say why not Sadhu > Oracle. Out of body, Counterspell. Clearing their backline defense. Heal tiles, Safety zone etc.
Or if you’re going Magic DPS why not going for something more like PD (incinerate adds dmg on debuffs i think… you’ve got monstrance, zalciai, aukuras) Kabbalist which has Merkabah and Revenged sevenfold.
C2 Krivis, also plays a big part with your zalciai, and Zaibas and stigma and overall damage of your chaplain…
Go oracle, if its not your main and you’d like to find loot and look cute:3
