Just wondering what people would do to get a full support build where you pretty much only heal, and barely ever do damage (But can damage in solo if need be for solo quests.) I’m talking absolute full support, like, serious support.
In Final Fantasy XIV, people always want healers to be able to help DPS, and that really goes against my view of healing.
I dont see why ppl think priest cant pull out damage~
It maybe the case before, but after token changed, any priest can rank up blessing passive enhance in no time~123*3=369, basically any C2 priest can deal almost 500 damage on every hit without using any attack skill or 75 dagger~
The only downside is very costly~
well bad 4 u. in thi game by “litle dmg” means u have to play a new game. c1 cleric already can deal a good amount of dmg with cure and heal. cleric in this game is versatile, even if u go ful support u can do some dmg. if u want full support and no dmg then lol ur build would not be good and would look like this
clericc3>krivis3>oracle, three dmg skills. if thats wut u mean by “little dps” u will be re rolling by time u get to rank 4.
in this game support isnt what it is in other mmorpgs. in this game its just
1.keep up buffs
2.heal when needed
other than that its just dmg, if u still want as little dmg as u can get then go that build up there ^
if u want support thats actually viable then go the traditional routes, but they do good dmg which i think is what u dont want?
cleric>priestc3>chaplian>cleric>plague doctor
clericc2>dievdirby2>krivisc2>plague
If you want a full support that can do damage in solo quests, this route is actually viable which I am currently play with the build of high SPR and decent INT.
Cleric>Krivis>Priest>Priest>Cleric>Priest>Plague Doctor
But in this build, I only got Heal (10), Cure (1) and Zaibas (4). The AA is not bad with Blessing and Sacrament. I considered the damage I did decent but it is slow. Most of damage is done by Zaibas since it scale with INT which is not bad. Also, Zalciai’s magic amplification help me boost a bit all the magic skills I have.
And if you are willing to sacrifice 1 skill point in Priest C3, you can always get Exorcise (1). Just 1 level is enough while waiting for other CDs. And when you get to Plague Doctor, at least have Incineration (1).
Unless you are full support with full SPR, it is not hard but really really slow to solo quests unless you get a party.
Of course, this is simply from my little experience and opinion regarding damaging at solo quests specifically with quest’s bosses. 
I would say a SPR Chaplain will out DPS u in every way~Which will be the only option for a full support build to do decent damage~
Blessing mean a lot at low level, but not sufficient at end game,same with Zaibas~
You are right. With low CD and longer duration, it is better damaging skill for full SPR.
When I think about it again, it is more efficient than simply waiting CD for other skills.
I did wanted to get a Chaplain before too due to Aspergillum, but no more rank slot to put. Cannot decided either to throw away Krivis or Cleric C2 for it.
So what would be a full SPR Chaplain build look like?
There’s one in public build~Typical~
Actually there isnt much defferent between Chaplain build~
Most of its skills(include those in its path) scale with both INT and SPR.
The only difference is if u want to enhance stone skin or not~
But stat point does have an impact on R6 and R7~There isnt much viable option for SPR Chaplain really~
There is another issue though~Most ppl dont put point into DEX, which will result in lots of miss in combat~
The only usefulness of Krivis in Daino, I would rather go for Dievdirby C1, which gives a burst attack, 2 statues for ur party and a mobile warp station~
Plague Doctor is viable atm, but I heard Healing Factor gonna get a nerf~
I am still putting R7 on hold until it comes clear~
If you wanna be a fs and go priest 3 you should really think about doing something like
cleric-priest-priest-priest-cleric-krivis-plague doctor
As a circle 3 priest you have access to 6 buffs by yourself
the buff limit for classes are:
Swordsman: 7 (9)
Cleric: 7 (9)
Wizard: 5 (7)
Archer: 5 (7)
with the number in brackets being for classes that buy the rank 5 attribute for an additional buff slot and a token for an additional buff slot. so that means if you use all your buffs wizard and archer classes only have access to 1 more buff before they are at a limit(and this is only if they even have a token or rank 5) which means you’re going to have buffs falling off left and right. And when you get partnered with another buffer like chrono? get ready to always have buffs falling off left and right. if you decide to go chap thats 1 extra party buff. daino is 100% required whether it be in scroll form or krivis rank.
this is exactly why im 100% for removing the stupid buff limit. All it really does is punish parties. Archers are always going to use that one attack speed buff when they are moving and wizards for some reason always insist on using reflect shield.
Sorry, I’m still not really sure how any FS Healer build would work, the game seems to think that healers should help DPS from all the damage skills they can do:
Bloodletting is something I am against.
I know it’s hard for people to believe but generally any healer worth calling good in any mmorpg the past decade found ways to fit damage into their heals because they wanted to give 100% to their team because they’re team players and they would expect their teammates to do the same.
If all you want to do is mash Heal twice off cooldown, then you’re free to do that. I feel terribly sorry for the people that had built up enough bad luck and misfortune in their life to get a Cleric running on autopilot.
I’m just not into overly complex classes / jobs.
Complex indeed~
I kinda feel irritated to press so many buttons continuously while my AA QS simply need only 5 skills to fulfill the duty~
What’s AA QS? (20 Characters go here for filler.)
Autoattack Quarrel Shooter build~
Swift Step+Running Shot+Multi Shot+Scatter Caltrops+Flare Shot= all it requires
You may be against it thematically but I think you would be intentionally gimping yourself not taking it. Bloodletting is one of the main reasons to take PD, considering it gives you essentially 100% uptime on level 2 or lower debuff prevention. Beak mask afaik only applies to the caster. If you really don’t want to be doing any dps then you can leave 5 points out of incineration and keep them in fumigation i guess and switch 5 points from beak mask to bloodletting.
I know people say the only use for Krivis is Daino as if it’s nothing much but actually it can make a lot of difference to some parties, especially if you are going support buffs (otherwise someone is gonna have to buy Daino scrolls) D: It’ll be more obvious with more ranks when more buffs are released
If you’re going SPR Zalciai scales really well. Adds an incredible amount of crit ATK (good for phys dps), and 48 magic amp with attribute (good for magic dps). If you put it on monsters as well it decreases their crit resistance (increases your crit rate).
Not at all saying Krivis is the best, but I guess I feel it’s overlooked sometimes.
