I'm a cleric stuck in a rut

Hiiyah! I’m sorta new to the game. The reason why I wanted to be a cleric because I wanted to be the backbone of the party like in other mmos and that’s not the case at all. I just found out that wizzies are better supports than clerics and are more in demand (according to the people I talked with in reddit). I followed Würstbar’s guide, which he recommended cleric c2>priest c3>oracle c1>kabbalist c2. Right now I’m cleric c2>priest c3 it just doesnt feel fun to play plus seeing the skills of the oracle seem underwhelming except for the counterspell skill. Is there a more fun/strong support build out there? Any ideas how to salvage my character?

Ohhh and I was planning to do chaplain but I invested on the wrong skills, I don’t have asperio and exorcise.

P.S.
My stats are SPR/CON

play this c2diev3miko/priest/druid or oracle pd2
or c2krivis3priest1miko/oracle or druid tao better
that build u play is full support but no dmg
cleric is fun coz they can support and do dmg it self
the wiz support ur friend mention i think chrono3 one
that one also full support but no dmg
well u can choose to be support/dps or full support
for me support/dps more good coz u can carry urself better :slight_smile:

Wizard support is different from Cleric support, not necessarily better.

The big difference being that Clerics can heal, rez, and even make themselves and their team straight up immune to damage. Wizards tend to be focused more on increasing DPS through buffs or crowd controlling mobs. In short, they make things easier to handle. Clerics, on the other hand, can literally save their party from a wipe.

No knocks on the full support Clerics out there but that playstyle is boring on the level of watching paint dry. As a Cleric, you can do solid DPS while still supporting your team. That’s where the real fun is.

I don’t have nearly as much experience with the magic focused Cleric builds but if you’re up for trying a physical variant, may I suggest Monk3?

You might have notíced that big changes are comming. So, what I’m about to say is only about what we have till today heh’

Okeeee let me see… I higly recomend you to go for cleric c2. I’ll give you enogh healing power +divine might. Your choice.

In the other hand, you have a Priest based build. I belive that putting some good points into SPR is the good way, sinse a lot of skills scale with it.

Depending on your build, you can go cleric c2 priest c3/c2 or Cleric c1 priest c3

about krivis… I don’t think it’s what you want but you can always try. Same goes to bokor, sadhu (it’s really bad atm actually e.e), pardoner and taoist.

About chaplain… I’ve made 2 chaplains and deleted them. It wasn’t my gameplay style. Too much auto atck.

Counter Spell and Prophecy from Oracle are really good skills imo, and Arcane Energy isn’t bad eighther.

I just fell love from Kabba tho ahhahah’ Ein sof gives extra Hp AND recovers SP. Revenged hum… I’ll aloow myself to say that it gives invulnerability to one atck to your party. Belive me, it’ll save them several times. The other skills are meh when talking about suport.

Plage Doctor has really cool skills but most of them do the same thing. Kind of. Bloodletting prevents status ailments. From rank 2 and lower. You also have Healing Factor, but it has only one target. Unless it works with a linker 2. But let’s keep thinking in situations when you are the only one that provides suport. IMO the other skills don’t have suport porposes.

I have 2cleric characters, a Cleric c2> Diev c3> Druid c3 and a currenctly Clerc c1> Priest c3 > Monk c3 and I intend to go fo Inquisitor.
With the first build I do deal damage. It’s not AMAAAZING but it’s pretty good damage. But, I also can double my hp (being able to suport my team longer) and give CD reduction and SP regen.

If the party cooperates, I’m able to also provide full time invulnerability (Ausrini<invulnerability for 20sec>+Safety Zone+Sterea trooph<invunerabulity for 16~>+Laima). And turn into a wolf :3 The problem is the high SP consume while in Lycanthropy. Oh yeah, this is a “full int” build, even tho i invested more points in con then other ppl do.

I’ve never played as a priest longer then the experience I had with those 2 Chaplains. But it’s nice to have a character that has revive on your team. I think it is (:

Anyways, for some reasons I also wanted to try monk.
That’s when i decided to go for a monk “tank suport ish”. What I’m trying to do is while being able to make my party stay alive and use buffs to give them more damage, also make mobs incapable to combat, or make them more vulnerable.

This build is SPR focused, giving me high magic resist and boosting my buffs while I get enogh HP and defence from equips.
The problem is I don’t have enogh healing squares. My Heal isn’t enogh, so I’ll depend on Mass Heal lv 10 and the other priest buffsto keep m teammates alive. You’ll have to learn how to time it and position so oyu can make the difference. I’m still learning but I actually enjoy this tension heh’

To finish this build, I’ll go for inquisitor. It’s whell aparently spreads debuffs, making valiable to do it with the debuffs that monks have. Malleus has an attribut that silences enemys(in pve). The other 2 skills idk how to fit in the “debuff for monsters” but they are good skills too

If I said something wrong please kindly correct me ^^ I also want to know more about this build.

Just a note: about CON, if oyu know how to position yourself, 40~50 points on it is more then enogh.

I think that’s pretty much what I have to say about my experiences. Wich is not much. Keep reading foruns mate.

Aside these 2 builds, I think that you could go:

  • Cleric c2 > Priest c2> Monk c2 > Kabba/PD c1(so you can spread debuffs with Pandemic)> Inqui/ PD c2
  • Or Cleric c2 > Diev c3 > Oracle/Miko/priest> Kabba/Priest/anything else > XX
  • Or just the basics: Cleric c2> Priest c3 > Diev C3> Krivis(mostly for daino)> i don’t remember how it finished :V - this is like, the suportest build imo

I mean, you search and try it ^^ that’s what I think it’s fun in this game :V

-These are just my thoughts.- If something is wrong, if it doesn’t work like that, misspelling (english isn’t my born language) or whatever please I would appreciate that you kindly corrected me.
If you want to be a jerk while doing that, you will be also kindly ignored <3

Hope I was of some help @chad_angeles ^^

What level are you that this isn’t the case yet for you?

Cause… they are.
