Hi guys,
I was researching threads to decide if it was worth to keep my PD build (diev3/miko/PD3) 'cause i don’t really like the playstyle and saw it listed under “spr builds” in the intermmediate guide to clerics. I want to know why this was recommended since you have to give up all your magic damage from int just for carve owls.
P.S. I didn’t wanted a spr build and don’t want to drop miko from it, this is why i’m resisting removing diev 
Depends. My PD build is Diev3 Miko Doctor too but i go full INT and most of the time i dont use Owl statue. I take Diev solely for support purpose and Owl statue’s immobility makes it inconvenient for most cases.
We find Owl Statue viable in Challenge Mode!
Agree, in challenge mode and uphill and maybe ET too, Owl is viable. But i still prioritize PD offensive skills over Owl statue alone 
Before Owl scales with INT, now it scales with SPR because its considered now as summons. Diev = SPR while PD = INT.
By owl viable you all mean taking spr instead of int? I don’t think spr owls will outdamage black death steam and incinerate damage, right now i’m using them most to aggro mobs since i’m int
Get INT if youre going PD
Go INT even if you have the Owls.
You can have the luxury to go full SPR for the extra damages from Owls when you’ll enhance/gem/transcend your weapon.
If you have casual weapons and enhancements, then full INT will bring you more damages.
You can keep 5 owls at time with clap and it should outdps PD. require time to setup tho.
You may just play Cl2-Bokor3-Miko-PD (int) instead
I have the same build but I have invested 120 SPR and rest is INT. I have also invested SPR armor pieces. I think that the owl damage doesn’t solely rely on SPR and does scale with magic damage as well. I tried testing the owl damage with and without weapon and the damage differs greatly. Unfortunately, I don’t have video to prove it. Maybe there’s damage formula somewhere. You might want to test it as well. Good luck OuO
Because Spr’s +0.3% dmg per point is a multiplier.
Whereas Int is simply flat added dmg, for owls 1 int = roughtly 2.5 matk x 82% skill factor x enhance = +3 dmg per int.
Even with a crappy weapon spr pulls ahead from Int really easy on owls.
Though pd2-3 does take a hit since they have no spr scaling. But IMO that increase on owls, especially when you stack a lot of spr is well worth the trade off.
Not to mention PD3 is extremely SP heavy if one wants to take up the +50% incineration spread chance for Pandemic. (together with the increase range)
the SPR dmg of the Owls are so bad, they nerfed it too much.
PD3 is too mana intensive as said before but the dmg output of INT is pretty good!
I think C2 D3 M PD3 is the best all around build for playing everything in game, you can farm solo, in group, you can sup a party, you can solo uphill, you can ET, you can pvp too, i got used to it since it’s easy to play, you just need some attributes and a fair gear to enjoy.
SPR build may be fun if you transcend weapon, your sp never end.
i have weird diev build, cler2 diev3 miko kriv3, i made this especially for uphill mission, and i have tried both spr stat and int stat, its true that owl damage scale very well with full spr, however i will lose good damage potential from zaibas and hamaya thats 2 important skills for securing gates, so i go with full int, and it is go well with divine stigma that raise my INT about 89 points with DM on if im not wrong
but… if u think your owl is important and u have a good wep, u should go full spr
