Half-@ss DPS Healer Build Viable?

[PrinzPudding]

Priest + Plague Doctor + Druid

Priest for the healing and revive,
PD for the buff and cc cleanse.

Since Druid has acceptable healing I’m thinking of cramping it into a AoE DoT build together with PD.

I messed around on TosGuru and found out that the SPR and INT scaling is kinda fitting for this type of hybrid build (316 and 265 respectively).

I play solo quite often (I’m on growth server right now) but I have been accepted to a guild in the main server already. Having a dps healer helps me farming through the game early on. Later I can be a good healer for any party content while also dishing out respectable damage against mobs and boss alike. I feel that a full support waste all of its INT stat and being a healing/buffing bot for the party kind of wasting a slot for dps. After all, you won’t need much healing if you can kill everything quickly enough.

Just my theory crafting.
How viable is this build? Could the dps this build brings about outweigh the damage buffing/cooldown reduction of Oracle and Diev?

Thanks for helping!

Some time ago people used to build Priest with offensive builds because this class is the one with highest SPR rate, meaning your critical chance would increase. I don’t know if after the 420+ people still use priest as a critical “buffer”. Druid + Plague is a good combination and priest can be useful in some cases.

And if it does not work you can play and do in-game content to earn class points and further change one or more classes. “it’s not the end of the world” xD

Probably not. Oracle and Diev add a lot to parties.
