without the frostlord/krivis cc, druid 2
its the new meta. thorns are the most usefull cc on the entire cleric tree. at the beggining of the game the cleric tree had no CC and give this skill to an R7 class will be enhace every build to pvp. on R10 druid 2 + inqui 3 will need a nerf.
I haven’t tested it myself but i’ve been told gregorate+zombies works like a holy damballa. Also, a circle of bokor can give you 5% magic def reduction to enemies up to 10% on circle3
Gregorate can kill up to 4 zombies and deals an extra hit for each zombie it explodes in a small area around them.
(same dmg as gregorate main hit, and deals holy dmg ofc.)
Not a big fan of it tbh:
- The zombie explosions rely on the 5 allied target cap to work, which is essentially 4 allied targets + yourself, which is very unreliable as it can hit any allied creature.
- 30s cd …
- Using it in this manner prevents it from being a debuff remover for allies. (which can also add to its dmg)
- Damballa can still easily outdmg it tbh. (Due to the respawn and hexing dark dmg bonus and just higher explosion count)
Some were saying you could use it to detonate zombies while Damballa was active to double dip. But I reset my bokor/exo before I read that.

It should only do damage on debuff clear (maybe even bonus damage per debuff cleared).
Are you guys running full con in your builds? ( for those of you who participate in endgame aka velcoffer)
Full con/stat still the best for dedicated/fixed party cos you can have multiple stat from lifelink.
But it’s not required to clear velco. I’ve done druid2-exo2 with 150 base con with no one else having higher con then me. Also partied with low and 0 invested healer as I’m running multiple characters.
It’s harder for sure but you’ll have more damage. And with healer one the most soughted class, we can just accept any cleric2-priest2.

Thx for the info, i will take enough con to not get one shoted. May i ask your build? I was thinking of taking the priest2 path but since every velco party i enter have a kabba i started to consider bokor path.
c3-p2-druid3-exo2
Well the choice is till up to ya. Just remember without p2 you won’t be a sole healer.
I’ve decided I want to make a transforming exorcist, which means I’ll need C3 Krivis and C2 druid to maintain that 100% uptime on my rabbit form. What I’m torn about though is whether or not to take cleric 2, or sacrifice one rank in cleric for bokor 1.
Bokor 1 seems tempting, as I can use the zombies as seed bomb carriers and also have access to the MR reduction of lv 5 hexing, but is that worth losing out on divine might and a potential extra level in Rubric?
Transform is 100% uptime with divine might and gem though so if that’s the only reason you’re taking krivis, I’d advise against it. Other classes have more to offer.

I hadn’t considered the transform gem actually. that makes things a little more interesting. Granted, it’s a gem slot I have to sacrifice for what could have been a yellow gem, but being able to take Sadhu or bokor there instead is probably worth more.
Granted, I value the contributions of Aukuras and Divine Stigma in amping my damage and stats.
what do we think of Cleric3, Bokor1, Dievderbys1, Druid2, Exorcist2? I feel like I can squeeze a lot out of synergy on a build like this. Zombie seed bombs, cleric 3 heal bombs, dievderbys statues for CD reduction on Rubric, and 100% transformation uptime.
I Think that the low cooldown of Exo will be probably enable the use of a lot of skills. I think that bokor is not the best idea cuz one of the Exo skills kill all zombies. Exo + Bokor = nightmare.
Now i am going to Cleric 1, Krivis 3, Sadhu 3 and Exo 2.
Krivis gives Aukuras and Divine Might. Zaibas is a skills with fast animation too.
Sadhu gives Transmit Prana, a great buff (100% uptime with Melstis) and Possession, a filler util Rubric is on Cooldown.
Now, to Velcoffer, is not possible and is not efficient be a semi-healer, so you dont need more cleric’s circles. If u want be a DPS, so you need be a good dps.
In CM, Akururas is very good and can help the team well.
IMO, this is the best build.
so if I want to do a velcoffer build, I can’t take Cleric 3? Even if I’ve taken C3 not for the healing, but for healbombing? I already deleted my krivis character based on the advice given earlier that Krivis isn’t a good build to follow for Exorcist, and now I’m just confused. I’ll likely be taking cleric 3 and bokor 3 in the same build.
Also, that exo skill that kills zombies is supposed to kill them. It also deals damage while removing the zombies, aka ‘holy damballa’. You use it after regular damballa for an extra explosion.
What bokor provides is the ability to manage the positions of the monsters (while soloing). It is so much easier to gather monsters together with a zombie train then Tet Memak La them to 1 posiiton to Rubric/Aqua than just running alone.
Entity with damage attribute gathers monsters just as good. Lv1 is enough for this AoE aggro skill.
That logic is as if you say: Wizard needs Thauma or Linker for Velcoffer.
Cleric C3 has 1 problem:
Heal gets destroyed and/or Reversied by Velcoffer
That’s about all. Cleric C3 provides good Healing Factor boost and Divine Might, which is good, especially if you use Aukuras scrolls for relieve-healing (which everyone in Velcoffer should do, not just the Clerics).
You’re not going to be a much better DPS on that build,though. Mainly you get more additional damage based on 66% of your minimum matk.
That’s up to 900.000 extra damage per 30 seconds.
I doubt that’s more damage than you can get out of Dievs 20% CD reduction.
Question is,though, if a 100% uptime Hexing on Velcoffer (7-11% mdef decrease) isn’t more beneficial for the cause as it boosts your damage and the damage of your whole team (especially the Warlock/Warlocks on your team you’d want to keep Mastema debuff up) as long as they’re casters.
It only destroys up to 4 of max 8 zombies, so it’s safe to use.
I think the main point of using Bokor on Exorcist is the wide, circular-shaped AoE, which Exorcist currently lacks. Damballa also hits for high burst damage (again something that Exorcist at C1&2 lacks) to make quick kills around the caster.
On the other hand, Exorcist can create you some nice zombies by placing Aqua Benedicta on Zombify or using Entity to lure and kill the monsters on the Zombify circle.
By the way, something that might be considered: using Damballa with knockdown active to group monsters for Rubric or Aqua Benedicta use.
Bokor also provides the ability to kill single monsters with Hexing+Effigy, so you can save your AoE skills to kill mobs of monsters.
And the main point for going Bokor:
You get 100% uptime Mackangdal for demon lord hunting in combination with Squires Basecamp. This is pretty cool, not only will you save a lot of money for not needing to repair your armor, while also not having to fear an untimely end unless you get hit by Medzio Diena.
@Astharion lol, you know what? I’m gonna go with the same build you like (cleric-kriv3-sadhu3-exo2), even though IMO cleric2-krivis3-druid2-exo2 is the best build XD
I just got way too many druids on my team and no sadhu at all…
How does a chaplain ME build exorcist perform against world bosses/velcoffer? If Holy damage is one of the biggest factors against demons, then surely a build that deals pure holy damage like that will be fairly good? You wouldn’t have to worry about messing up the enemy’s weakness with druid grass. Just ME bomb, cast Exo skills ending with entity to refresh ME bomb.
I’ve kept my current character at C2 cleric for now and am moving on to leveling Bokor. I do still feel like I want to go cleric 3 just to be different, but I’m worrying about people’s perceptions when they see that build. Everyon always assumes cleric 3 will be support, and probably won’t trust me if I say I want to heal bomb.
However, functionally the boss can’t reversi many of the heal tiles if most of them are consumed while healbombing, so I don’t think it’s a big deal as long as I’m accurate. If I do stick to only C2 though, what other options should I consider? I’d rather not go dievderbys, I have so many other clerics with diev1 as a filler, and it’s so boring.
Thats wrong assumption. Prana is good for extra damage, yes, but its not the main use of it. When you get Divine Might and Transmit Prana onto the Thaumaturge3 then thauma’s swells become MUCH and MUCH more potent, even more so if both builds have a decent bit of SPR (from 3 to 4k additional mAtk from Swell brain+ Swell Left Arm under Prana). On 2nd recast of Transmit Prana Sadhu3 gets way more property damage because of elevated mAtk. Anyway whole party greatly benefits of Sadhu+Thauma combo.
And Aukuras in Cleric-Krivis3-Sadhu3-Exo2 is a very potent relief heal and, if done properly, can have 100% uptime AND give additional fire property damage to the party’s magical attacks. So its 100% uptime of decent heal and damage. 5 tiles of Heal can be used in emergency so there is no real risk of enemy reversing or destroying them.
