Is Sadhu really THAT bad?

Oh, whats your matk then? I’m currently on 250 int using a +6 elder Rod with a blue lvl 5 gem and around 450 dmg per hit

Same here, im lv 176 full int with arde dagger, OOB attribute lvl 15, and i hit just 3x of 450 on mobs who dont take extra damage.

tell us your secret

Sadhu is decent okay dps class and its need shield to protect their body for OOB…
But due to the gameplay in higher dungeon, people tend to get utility classes more than a pure DPS, even monk got impact on party but due to monk is link to some healing/buff purpose so they are consider supportive member in party…

…Just had myself buffed with Stigma in OOB.
It did not double jack squat.
Just gave the int bonus.

There is indeed a secret. Not sure if I want to show it mouhueheuheahuehaeuhae

But I could post a proof though. Just to see if someone else can find it!

Though without the secret thing its about 480-500 per hit.

If you dont want to show, i can show

yeah, its a “hidden buff”, actually i think its a bug that make Divine Stigma buff your spirit and your body. but… idk…

Well. Since I didn’t go crivis I’m out then ;p

…in OBT that didn’t work ‘that’ way…

They removed the secret buff. You can’t get the extra damage anymore.

That + the attack speed nerf is what killed Sadhus. It’s mostly just a filler class now.

they did not remove it from stigma. Go OOB, cast stigma on a mob and kill the mob with OOB, your damage will increase drastically. It is hard to pull off in earlier levels without cleric 2, but is very much alive and well.

Delcas, cast stigma while your in OOB, kill said mob with OOB. This is how I get it to work for me… hope this helps.

I guess that’s alright, but there used to a hidden buff that would multiply your damage by 100% before if you were standing on a buff like Zalcai. Once they removed that and nerfed the attack speed at the same time, that pretty much killed the class.

Sadhu used to be able to hit for 1000-2000 per hit x 3 at a very fast pace. Now it hits for around 500-1000 per hit at a much slower pace.

Chaplain actually does more damage than Sadhu for less hassle.

Old sadhu was extremely broken. Nothing came close to it’s damage output. Stigma still does what the old school hidden buff did. If you watch in the video her damage goes from 800x3 to 1400+ x3 which is not a small increase. Chaplain certainly does not out dps the sadhu with this method. The problem is you HAVE to take krivis to do it. The only way sadhu does even remotely competitive damage is with krivis… and thats a problem. Giving old attack speed back wont fix this. The base damage needs to be increased and the stigma “bug” needs to be fixed so that the INT from stigma and other buffs stacks like they should. Transmit prana needs to be reworked so that it once again works on OOB. You did hit the nail on the head though when you said less hassle. Why work so hard casting 4-5 buffs to make sadhu do decent damage when you can roll a wiz and do the same damage if not more with a few skills? there is less room for error and the damage is applied quicker. As the class stands now, its priority is debuffing/buffing and supplementing in dps in between those things. I am just saying that the sadhu can throw down the deeps when it needs to, but your bottled into the krivis line if you want to do it.

swordsmen? swordsmen endgame dmg is worse than monk dmg

That, and/or building a bokor in for massive effigy Spam while doing OoB ;D

“nothing cam close to its damage output”

have u SEEN archer classes?

Serious? I mean it’s a moot point at this stage as it will never be a thing… but old sadhu > archer dps by a long shot. Archers were better at mobbing, I will give you that. In terms of raw dps though… just no. Not close, not even the same ball park.

ok so just bc sadhu used to be “op” iis ok for it to underpowered now?

no? nobody said that. You commented on a post and I was responding to that comment. The entire issue of this thread and many others have been how over nerfed sadhu is. A dps class should not be forced into taking another class to deal any meaningful damage. Even monk has other options.

wut, sadhu has many options, i think.
i meant, ppl ar elaways saying it was way too op in the past, so it needed a nerf. but they dont say anyhting about it being overnerfed.
so ppl are basically saying “sadhu was op in the past, it got nerfed and now its balanced”
and if u mean by balanced=less than priest dmg, then i guess ur right.
