Is the build I’m thinking of following. It caught my eye cause of the reference to RO. My question is that would this be considered a crit monk build?
The only reason I can see going krivis is for Zalciai (and I guess Aukuras) for crits.
Do tell us why you decided for c3 cleric.
And no, zalcial for crit damage boost is not that good, unless you invest spr in it. Monks rarely invest in spirit.
Not my build but I think the c3 cleric is for the safety zone so you can set up for golden ball or energy blast.
So is it more optimal to go priest instead of krivis for blessing?
Most people here would say that c3 cleric is going overboard. Safety wall at rank 2 with its max attribute should suffice.
Most people assume priest, since it can amplify the monk’s skill. Taking krivis give you the option of versatile damage.
So would you recommend going one chaplain or something else instead of that c3 cleric?
Also is it versatile because of zaibas? If so would int be an important stat to invest in? My idea of a stat build for monk would be to focus on str, con, and spr.
Of course you go strength. You’re a monk. Zaibas is use as an auxiliary attack, especially against ghost or water element.
You can go chaplain if you want but better ask the others about that matter
Would I invest in int then for zaibas?
No, unless you’re not planning to be a monk that is.
Wow! I’m trying to raise the same build!
I suggest you give up buffs that has nothing to do with your cri/dps build!
Don’t worry about people saying you should have a different build because you didn’t get other support buffs! Your not a full support, that’s why!
As for me, going Cleric C3 is a little not good option. Why?
If you are just getting safety zone upto c3, when all other skills that Cleric has is int base, which is not your build, then it’s not worth it.
Going Cleric C2 is enough (actually C1 is already good).
Just make up for the part that you will lose for not going Cleric C3.
Priest is always the best option because its buffs really scale with Monk Crit Build!
It adds up to its damage, it gives great benefits for auto attack Crit DPS, it makes you tanky enough to go solo even with bosses.
- Aspersion gives percentage defense
- Blessings gives addtional damage
- Sacrament gives holy property + damage
- Stone Skin makes you handle mobs better than other build (remember, you’re doing auto attack DPS in the middle of mobs, you should have good defense)
Also, I suggest you go for ‘Deprotected Zone’ of Cleric…
It helps you a lot doing that kind gameplay (specially with bosses).
Then go for Monk ultimate build!
Go max those Monk skills that gives great damage and effects!
Remember that you are a critical build so at times that your skills went cool down, you do your auto-attack set up then give your best shot again when the cool down is finished.
How about that? Can you picture what I’m trying to say?
Ugh! Im in the same predicament. Im torn, Ive been reading going cleric 3 is pretty much redundant. But then again blessings and some of the priest buffs dont scale well endgame. then monks dont invest in spirit so stone skin is not that great. Seems that perhaps safety zone maxed + atributes give about 50 blocks? (Only reason of thinking of going cleric c3, the nice 15 tiles hea and the hidden synergy of deprotected zone with hand knife from monk- where it increases greatly it’s AoE ratio.) I can use safety zone to set up iron skin, golden bell or energy blast aswell, which 50 blocks or so seem good enough.
So far this is my build:
Cleric c1 >Priest c1 >Cleric C3> Monk c3
(of course just one priest for the revive, 1pts into montrance for the dex build and the def buff from asperson-28% i believe)
or i could go the common monk build
Cleric c1> Priest c3> Monk c3
Im currently at Cleric c1> priest c1 i this alt.
My question is which would be more viable end game >.>’
I am playing in party so lvling wont be a problem btw.
Thanks for reading into it! =3
If you only have Cleric and Priest to work off the first 4 ranks and you don’t want any other class, you’re better off with Cleric2 and Priest2.
Revive would be more useful as support than 5 extra heal tiles or safety zone hits.
Just with Cleric2 you are already allowed to get enhancement for safety zone.
What you mentioned with Priest1 is Resurrection not Revive, which is hard to use mid-battle because it can be interrupted by attacks, so it’s usually casted when your team is resting.
I took Priest3 and liked it, but yeah who knows how it’ll be endgame, we don’t seem to get much feedback on it.
haha yeah I meant resurrection, oops it always confuses me X’D thnks for the reply =]
since your priest 3, i have a question with stone skin. I cant find much on how much block rate its needed to block attacks. Since My monk is mostly Str-Dex-Con build, i woner how well would stone skin work still. it would be 480 blk rate? Or 1680 blk rate with 20 sp? Anyways would 480 be good enough to block with the stone skin buff on your experience? Formula in skill says its 400+sp *4
I’m also STR/DEX/CON monk. Your block rate is less than 100 around lv90. So you end up with 500% increase.
From my experience, for solo leveling, it’s pretty useful that you wish you have more uptime. For lv90 dungeon, it made a difference when I was a sole healer with my measly 5 heal tiles, again, you wish you have more uptime with it so you don’t have to heal them often. (Of course, once the enemy shoot you with magic, block is meaningless 
)
There are ToS mechanics links you can find somewhere in forum, but basically
BLK = Lv/2+CON+(0.03*Lv) *2 for the last brackets for swordsmen
BLK is not a sole modifier as it depends also on the enemy’s BLKBR (block penetration), which pretty much decides whether you can block them.
Point is, for a lv250 100 CON player, they’re gonna have 232.5-240 block - so how much do you think 480 blk rate will matter to a lv250 player? Still quite big.

Ah i see! Thats very useful info, thanks a lot for the reply! =3 Its a deciding factor allright for wich class to go for xD
Crit Monk in PvP.
C2 Cleric > C2 Priest > C3 Monk
You’re better off with C2 Priest instead of having C3 Cleric + C1 Krivis and the reason to that is Zalciai only scaled off SPR. You’re better off with STR + DEX.
Plus, you can easily obtain Critical through enchant items (Potential items)
