Help with Inquisitor Path

Was a “joke” for the longest time. Mostly because Clerics were mean’t to heal and generally thought of as joke DPS. So monks with crappy buffs, wouldn’t heal and couldn’t DPS. Started a big thing for awhile there.

Replying to everyone individually would take a long time, but…

It seems everyone is saying cleric c2, diev c2, and paladin c3 is good for Inquisitor, but I honestly grew distaste for diev. And you’re saying priest c3 ends up being useless without significant investment into int/spr. I honestly just wanted that priest c3 costume. In what kind of builds is priest c3 useful for?

I might just have to forget about Inquisitor all-together, and maybe do int-based Cleric, or maybe even a different class. I don’t want to be able to grind the fastest in the game, I just wanted to be self-sufficient and be able to grind rather efficiently with a str-based cleric without needing a party, and not with diev again, because that was terrible.

I also considered Archer, but the only Archer class I’m interested in is Appraiser, yet it’s not even out yet.

Play what you find fun man. It’s just that with Clerics, there not a lot in the STR department besides really Monks/Dievs/Paladins. There’s quite a few Monk builds that would do you fine.

Your best bet is probably going to be Priest C3/Monk C3

Popular kr inquis are currently:
These characters were usually ready rank7.
-cler2 diev2 monk3
-priest 3 monk3
-cler2 (kriv, priest, diev) pala3 (monk1 or anything)
May replace monk3 by something else too, monk2 unlocks all offensive monk skills. Monk3 just adds duration, and adds more to enegy blast.

Pala3 inquis is used to boost god smash damage. This build is burst & AoE focused and requires you to wait for wheel to mass AoE and double your burst.

Monk inquis builds could skip god smash (save points for inq2), and may spread monk debuff attacks through wheel. Most players do not leave any unused points at rank 8 at the moment.

Double punch is sustained damage, and some other monk debuffs. Paladin is either pala3 to get conviction (and barrier and sp regen) or no pala at all, you are not Int based pala1.

So Priest c3 --> Monk c3 is effective on kr servers? I just don’t want to be a “useless” player, even by my own standards. I also would probably prefer to not take monk to c3, and take pd or oracle,

If you want to solely focus on damage (lower support), you do not have to take priest3 to get stoneskin. It requires spr.

Most Kr players were already priest3 monk3 so they took inquis. It is a popularity list based on played classes (not theory crafted classes). A better alternative without spr would be cler2 (safety zone attribute, heal, divine might, fade 1) and priest 2(monstrance, resurrect, revive, mass heal). Blessing is just bonus during early levels.

If you like crit (and dex build), priest1 is very recommended. Monstrance buff gives you and your party +30% dex, then it adds +10 dex. You only need monstrance at lvl 1 to cast this buff, lvl1 had the shortest animation duration.

So, to get sufficient utility and heal start for a monk, you may go:

Cleric2, priest1, (something). Monk2, something rank7.

It is very difficult to be useless on cleric, cleric provides very useful party support, even at cler1 (however cler2 minimum is very recommended for iToS). Going monk/pala inquis will add physical damage to your support abilities.

This is just a suggestion, you should decide which build suits your playstyle and needs most so you may have a lot of fun.

Wish you much good luck!

And so, if I were to go with a str-based Cleric, should stat allocation be around 100dex and then the rest into dex? Meaning no str whatsoever?

This depends on preference, with how big of a base number we see on skills, for pure damage at r8 and onwards I bet dex will win.

My diev2 monk has 110 str 150 dex and rest in CON. and I feel pretty good about that stat allocation

May help your stat distribution if you like numbers and math.

Most players going inquis have low con, low str (or no str at all), and very high Dex.

I just saw an experience player reaching monk, she could comment to you a bit more about monk experience and stat during leveling. Editing: this is her post


Editing wrong post forever

i don’t read the entire thread but i’m cleric1->priest3->monk2->plague1 and is really hard find some one who take my place as 1st on Siauliai mission, i’m lvl 23x, maybe later i will by overpowered by the others…

i hope inquisitor make my char better at pvp because in pvp this is a shi* build really shi* build

Can anyone here give opinion for Rank 3 if I went Cleric 2 > ? > Pal 3 > PD > Inqui?

Which one is better between Diev and Priest?

Is resurection that important in ET?

I went with Priest not just for Resurrection, but for monstrance. You need to be able to either reduce crit resistance on a mob or raise your own crit rate. So its gotta be Priest or that other class which reduces resistance.

if you would like. I can do some damage testing on +5 Toy Hammer vs +6 Iron Fist vs +8 Cata Blade.Let me know if interested and I will try to make some number tests

*that is cleric2-diev2-monk3

As far as i know Toy give 400% damage x 4 hit when explode, but need 10 hit, so just assume you get 10% of the Explosion damage each Hit
let X = your own damage, Y = your new weapon, 131 is Hammer +5
SO the new weapon has to be:

X + Y > X + 131 + 400% x 4 x 10% (X + 131)
X + Y > X + 131 + 1.6X + 210
X + Y > 2.6X + 241
Y > 1.6X + 241

TLDR: Your new weapon needs to have 1.6 of your own damage + 241 damage to be better than a +5 Toy Hammer
On level 330 its mean 769 Damage
On level 500 its mean 1041 Damage

Thats only counting auto-attack, if you count skill damage, the required damage will be lower, not to mention some other effect on higher level mace are very good

Thx for your response :slight_smile:
Looks like every one like Priest better, already build Diev :disappointed: #reroll

I have 3 monks. I like diev more. but that is just me as I see

Monk will get Diev 2 Right? If you Go Paladin you can only pick Diev 1 or Priest 1 or Krivis 1

For only 1 Circle, which one do you think will be the best?

you have options, diev for -20% cooldown, priest for resurection and bless early on, krivis for daino. choice is yours. I would go with diev, since -20% cooldown and a piercing damage skill is an awesome utility in itself

but I can see all 3 ways doing well

So if I decided to go diev3, what I be gaining and losing instead of going diev2?

And compare and contrast taking diev2-3 and monk2-3 instead of paladin3?
