Cleric2/Krivis3 and Taoist

Class and Rank Cleric
#1

As you guys know rank 8 is coming up and in Korean forums people have been going crazy about how Toaist skill boosts Krivis Zeipeda or whatever thunderskill by 4~6 times. Which is HUGE. There’s the downside of the paper thingy that you need kinda like fletcher archer which is very heavy and expensive. So anyway. Cleric2/Krivis3/XX/Taoist is one of the top rising builds for clerics in Korea. Obviously it’s still not the absolute top meta as it is single target boss dps build. Most Cleric2/Krivis3 builds already have Druid2 in both Korea and here. But it seems like most Korean ppl are saying Druid 3 is crap for this build and everyone’s going Taoist. It’s almost like people want to play Taoist so they’re making Krivis3 just to play Taoist. So here’s my dilemma. So help me out cleric masters.

I love the idea of playing cleric like a dps boss killer wizard. So I’m going Cleric2/Krivis3/XX/Taoist. The problem is what should I put in the XX. Should I go with just Druid 2? or how about Cleric3/PD1 ? Or something else that you guys can think of? I’m not too familiar with anything cleric other than cleric/priest/krivis/chaplain. Thanks

BTW I already started building this character long before this Zaibas? + Taoist synergy came to surface and bought the cool servant costume for this character. This is gonna be one of my favourite character.

There’s plenty of choices you can go for in the missing ranks. Druid 2 is fine as it adds another DPS skill (Carnivory) to your set, but you still have all your DPS skills on 20-30s cooldowns and you still lack aerial coverage outside Zaibas (and maybe Creeping Death).

I’m personally choosing Bokor > PD1 because I don’t have to wait for my Cure and Zaibas to go off cooldown, making leveling much smoother. PD has great support skills and synergizes well with the rest of the build.

Cleric 3…well, people think it’s overkill and not worth it, but Lv 15 Heal and Cure never hurt anyone. You even have the bonus of trolling people with Guardian Saint. :smirk:

IMO:

R6+R7 combo.
Druid2:

  • Sterea Trofh is one of the better pve defensive skills. 10s invuln with 30s cd is insane.
  • Carnivory 10 does help out dmg wise quite a bit.
  • some minor benefits from transform. (need to check, but don’t think i ever found a lightning dmg transform skill. )
  • Can’t hit flying.

Sadhu2:

  • Good int dmg via possession.
  • Hits flying enemies.
  • Possession also binds enemies making it a good combo with zaibas.
  • Rest is pretty crappy, low support.

Dievdirby2:

  • Decent dmg via carve owl.
  • Can hit flying enemies.
  • 20% cd reduction.
  • Aoe silence.
  • Stationary playstyle.
  • Long cd’s.

R6 options:

Priest1:

  • additional 200 dmg per hit with ease for int builds.
  • can res.
  • Low dmg/support.

Paladin1:

  • Boosts heal via restoration by a good chunk (60% ish?) for int builds.
  • Can 1 hit mutants/demons via turn undead, niche but worthwhile.
  • Low on dmg/support.

Oracle1:

  • Prevents conditions via prophecy.
  • Counterspell can block magic dmg for pve and is decent in pvp. esp with attribute.
  • Low on dmg.

Miko:

  • ???
  • ???

R7 options:

Plague Doctor1:

  • Prevents conditions via bloodletting.
  • Good int based dmg via incinerate.
  • Hits flying enemies.

Wouldn’t recommend kabbalist tbh, i fear you wouldn’t have enough dmg with it.
Likewise cleric3 is heavily outperformed healing wise by paladin1, and even then a priest1’s res is also much more desirable.

Regarding druid, there may be lightning dmg transformation skills. But i have not found any. You can still grab panto/desert chupacabra/merog shaman for support (Move speed buff/ hp regen / safety zone spam) or others for a auto atk replacer that scales with int.

Pick your poison :smiley:

hello, i am interested in taoist, but im confuse between krivis taoist or diev taoist…so…i am thinking krivis3 diev3 taoist for pvp damage purpose…not support haha…do you think it will work?

and since we know that krivis works really well with taoist…i am curious about zoning capability that diev gives…is diev really good with their statue for pvp?
and is he going to work with taoist?

#5

thanks for the replies. I think Diev sounds good along with PD. How about Diev1/Pd1? or is Diev2 much better? that 20% cd reduction sounds good. BTW it might turn out that Druid 3 is better than Taoist after all. It’s all speculation at this point but it’s confirmed that Taoist paper magic thing boosts Zaibas in a HUGE way. That we know for sure but maybe Druid 3 is just as good.

#6

Taoist>druid3 but only one thing keep me from going taoist… PRICE of skills, seriously 1500 silvet each cast of skills is absurd. The rest of The class is amazing, dps/support wise and is Also good looking lol

#7

And also the weight but they recently cut the weight in half in Ktos. When I get to Taoist I will not use the paper magic and just use normal Zaibas. Only when I’m doing instance dungeon I’ll use it on boss to show ele3 and fletcher3 that they’re passe. lol

#8

In KTOS they reduced all Talisman costs by 1.

#9

yeah but not enought yet

#10

Not sure which one is better overall but from what I hear Krivis is the one getting a real boost from Taoist. But since Diev is much more preferred by people that Diev Taoist might be a better option for many people.

#11

how about… cleric1 krivis3 diev3 taoist?

#12

I am planning to do that build too. I think it will be a good path since you have Ausrine buff to be extended by Melstis which, I think, is good enough. But you will find it difficult to be the healer during party play since you will be expected to support your party members. For me this build will be good in pvp too.

#13

so what’s stronger, krivis light + talisman or 8tile icewallxppxrunecaster

#14

i believe they are both strong but icewall combo is more AOE than zaibas+storm.

since storm amplify lightning at more or less 500%

while rune caster has 300% but is a larger AOE and has more duration
compared to storm calling (at max lvl5 = 7 sec)
