How important is Ressurection?

Class and Rank Cleric
#1

Hey,
my current Build is cleric2 --> dievdirby3 --> FREE --> Plague Doctor.

I am still really unsure about which class to pick for Rank 6. Some people suggested that I should go for Priest just to get Ressurection. I am just not sure if it is really worth taking Priest just for Ressurection and loosing out on Druid or Oracle.

What I want to know is if Ressurection is needed for Endgame and if I should therefor choose Priest as my Rank 6 class. Hope some of the more experienced palyer have some knowledge that they can share with me! :slight_smile:

Resurrection will have a 2s cast time at level 5 which is really short for a charge skill. It is applied in a cone form in front of you and needs to be aimed as such - but it can be enhanced to raise more than one person at once, so it’s super useful in emergencies.
I’m only in my mid 80s, so I can’t really tell you about endgame, but it has definitely been of use for me in dungeons so far, especially since it knocks enemies away, which gives you some breathing room after the raise.

If you have the extra healing and protection from Cleric 2 you wont need Ressurect as much, imo.

I’m not sure how good dievdirby3 is tho, getting one circle of priest and going diev2 might also be an option.

I also have same confusion. My thinking is:
Which one better as a filler for rank 6
Krivis c1: Daino and zaibas
Priest c1: apersion (28% increase def) and resurrection

Paladin c1: increase or even double your healing power and ressist element

Druid for more dps : its not favourable for me because im a full int not the hybrid int str

Oracle???

Need some advice from the expertise here.

Thanks.

i would go for oracle… it chains well silence wise with dievdirby.
(carve tree/counter spell)

#6

But i heard that the counter spell also can dispel our party buff? Is that right?

How about resurection from priest? Will it be usefull later on?

I’m a FS Priest and I hardly get to use resurrection. Most players just respawn before I can even resurrect them. And even if the group didn’t have resurrection, most people bring soul crystal with them. Not to mention that if someone gets killed while moving there is a sprite bug, so you won’t see where the person died and can’t aim Resurrection properly.

But sometimes it can be nice to have. Some people are really happy if you res them.

Priest C1 isn’t bad though:

  • Mass Heal nice to have
  • Blessing 3 allows you to get the attribute so you get +123 damage even without taking higher priest tiers
  • Aspersion can still be used for the def buff on low level, but honestly it’s not all that great when not maxed, especially not in late game

Krivis C1 is amazing if the group is pretty heavy on buffs. It depends strongly on group composition. For example your build with Krivis added to it would be perfect when your party has a Priest C3 -> Chaplain as well. 11+ buff upkeep for all. If you’re the only cleric-type in the group then Krivis C1 is rather wasted, though.

Also it kind of depends on your stats too. Because depending on what your main stat is, different buffs might be differently as useful. Like for pure CON stuff like Blessing/Aspersion is nice because the buff doesn’t scale with any stat. Pure SPR can make the Krivis Critical buff quite good. INT makes your damage with Krivis useful (but only C1 for damage is still kinda low). And Paladin… I heard it needs STR, but I’m not very familiar with that class.

This.
Listen to these words as they are what you want to know about resurrect in TOS.
I have 4 lvl Res and I feel like those were the stupidest 4 skillpoints I used. Playing for a month in a row with the character I used it twice I think and once of those two times I missed the cast because of the sprite bug.
So yeah…

Ress is quite useless. But you need Ress 2 for Revival’s attribute (in case you’re priest 2).

Other than that, in PvM you will barely ever use ress. Most players will start running from combat once they get low on hp, and if they do manage to die, they will just respawn or use soul crystal before you can even think of ressing (like it has been mentioned before).

If they are smart enough and wait for a ress, you can open your map by pressing M and target your ressurection through there. The player’s position is always correct in the map when it is open.

Ress only shines in PvP where people won’t be using soul crystals or don’t have time to waste doing a respawn. But then again, we don’t have much PvP added to iToS yet.

But that being said, I still think Krivis 1 is worse than Priest 1.

Res shines quite a bit in earth tower, since soul crystals are disabled there and walking back from floor 1 after dying easily takes a few minutes.

For structured pvp we’ll likely also get the 1 res per match limit, further limiting it’s use there.

For the other content it’s a nice bonus, but usually not a big benefit due to soul crystals and nearby revive spots.

Resurrect is vital in Earth Tower beyond the 5th floor and at an entry level ET teams even useful getting to the 5th floor.

As a Cleric C2 - Dievdirbys C3 - Druid C1 - Plague Doctor C1 I took my R6 selfishly for world boss and PvP reasons. In a heartbeat I’d change Druid C1 for Priest C1. I’m clearing 5/F now consistently, and I think I can get to 10/F, but within the limitations of my build that may be as far as I can go on my main without it.

Reviving players in Earth Tower is necessary, and it remains useful in general PvE and PvP. Especially because Soul Crystal cannot be used in ET.

Moreover, given Blessing changes, you can get a very beefy Blessing with just a single circle of Priest. Blessing tends to fall off quickly in ET, and always after death, so it can’t be refreshed going to town. Monstrance is also a one circle wonder, and is pretty beneficial to physical DPS teammates.
