Hello. I play full support, and I’m trying to build the best support character I can. I know mostly what I want to do with my character, but there’s just one detail on which I can’t decide, and I was hoping I might be able to get some constructive thoughts from the community here.
Firstly, I’m coming at this from the perspective of later-on-down-the-road planning, when we’ll have all 10 class ranks. I haven’t heard any word that they’ve changed their minds about that, so I’m assuming that it’s still planned to go to 10 class ranks.
I know that I want to take Cleric 3 and Priest 3. I also know that I want to take Pardoner 1 and Krivis 1. This much is not up for debate. I also want to work in Diev 1.
For the last class rank, I’m having a very difficult time deciding if I should take Krivis 2 for extra Daino and that b*tchin’ str/int buff, or if I should take Pardoner 2 for extra MDef and for buff shop (read: money making) capability. Or perhaps I should give up hope of fitting Diev into the build, and just drop it (I haven’t taken any circles in it yet) and take both Pardoner 2 and Krivis 2?
Will Daino 5 be enough, or will I find myself wishing that I’d taken it to 10? With these classes, I’m going to have a lot of buffs taking up everyone’s precious buff slots. I haven’t put this to the test yet, but with Daino 5, I feel like there would be no room for anyone else’s buffs.
For the time being, as long as we only have 7 class ranks, I was thinking about Cleric 2, Priest 2, Krivis 1, Diev 1, Pardoner 1. Adequate heals and a very wide assortment of adequate buffs. But if I’m going to take Pardoner 2 and if I’m not going to take Diev, then I’m going to need to know that in advance. Also, if they actually have changed their minds about the class ranks, and it won’t actually be going to ten, then that would also be very important to know in advance, as that could certainly affect this decision.
