Hello i just started playing this game the other day and i decided to play plague doctor. atm im playing cleric2>bokor2>diev1. next im gonna get is bokor3 then plague2. i took diev 1st before bokor 3 because my SP consump is super high most of the time im jumping around waiting for sp pots, cant cast any skill, thats the only problem im having so far and the diev1 sp buffs is a huge help and i like the -cd skill. i put all my stat points to int, im level 140+, effigy hexing are both at lv10, my plan was to ignore the zombie because before ive seen people saying that Ai is dumb, zombies are dumb and slow etc. tho im not really surprise that is very common Ai problem in games. and that is also the reason i didnt put any SPR. but now ive seen some posts, that the Ai will be improved and that the max zombie you can get will be 8? why only 8? are they gonna buff the dmg of each zombies thats why they limit it to 8? will it be worth to put some skill points to zombify now? if i do, at what level? should i start to put some SPR as well? atm my skills on bokor2 are lv10 hexing, lv10 effidgy, lv1 zombify, 1 tet mamak la, lv5 samediveve. and i still have 3 skill points. im also not sure if i will put points to damballa, people say its situational i dont get why because i dont have it yet. is it better to just use the lv1 zombify for a max damballa because im using int build? sorry if i have a lot of question i wanna be very careful at my skill build because i found out that you can only get the skill reset item using cash which is such a let down especially with a skill system like this. i will appreciate any help, info or opinions. thank you
Zombies will be buffed within 3 weeks - 3 months. on my Bokor3>Druid3 i have around 100 spr and each zombie does like 800 - 1.3k dmg each and i have level 3 zombify so i have 8 zombies with divine might. so thats like 6.4k - 10,400 damage every second (if all the zombies are targeting one monster) pretty strong i guess. zombie Ai is pretty bad but its going to be fixed in 3 weeks - 3 months with the other buffs, its not too terrible (paladin conversion is wayyyy worse) the Ai is toleratable now that zombies will teleport to you and samediveve increases their movespeed ALOT. i also saw a video of the zombies hitting for 6k - 8k each the guy had 1k spr though so yea.
I reccomend maxing damballa, its strong, hits for like 100k+ .
and as for SPR, im a druid so im gonna stat reset into full spr to boost zombie dmg and for lycanthropy synergy. i reccomend you take 50+ SPR, it will help your zombies and sp issues, and going INT isnt really that neccesary as it doesnt scale a good as it used to.
And take level 3 zombify, with the update, it will give you 100% uptime and level 3 is the minimum requirement for weelchair and giant zombies.
also you shouldnt have that many points in hexing because it scales bad and its range is small and youll have pandemic anyway
thank you for the info can you tell me where to find these upcoming changes/buffs? where are all these news coming from. i agree hex can be lowered i guess to lv5 its just that my plan was to ignore the zombify and thought i should just focus on maxing hex and effigy. alright ill up zombify to lv3 now. i also saw a high spr max zombify yeah they are really strong but i dont like relying too much on Ai so im still not sure about SPR cause i dont know what is consider “enough” SPR for a int type bokor/PD, is it when my zombie is hitting a specific number, or is it when i dont find myself not being able to cast anything and waiting for sp pots cd? INT doesnt scale as good as it used to, what do you mean by that? was there a huge change on INT?
if you look on the ktos 2.0 thread and look throught the past 2 months theres alot of ktos patch notes that buffed zombies.
and for int not scaling as well as it used to, your weapons are about 70-80% of your daamge now so you really have nothing to lose by going full spr except for like an additional like 800 damage which your zombies with full spr could do way more.
you could keep going int if you want to though but 50 spr is a minimum to keep your sp in a good range
max damballa + lv13 (or higher) zombify
damballa is very strong skill with low cooldown, it maybe hard to setup your zombie
u need 18 zombie for damballa lv6 which is lv14 zombify (13+divine might)
1 point in blue flag and red flat, u’ll have lv7-8 hex and 15 effigy
otherwise just skip damballa and go full hex+effigy and get lv10 samediveve if u prefer movespeed
but zombify is being nerfed to only allow 8 zombies out at any time so level 3 zombify + divine might would give it 100% uptime
