Hello, no experience with Clerics here, 326 Mergen, taken various swordsman and wizard builds past 250 aswell but I know zilch about clerics. I am looking for an dps focused solo sufficient cleric and the majority of what I read seemed to point towards this particular build.
Is there an agreed upon build out atm that anyone can link, was planning on heavy INT aswell with whatever CON is needed, thank you.
This post was flagged by the community and is temporarily hidden.
this is pretty much the basic, on PD max incinterate and plague vapors, make sure to get healing factor, the rest you can do on your own.
do not skip out on zombies, they hold aggro and damballa is really strong. bwa kayimn i would say is clericās best if not the gameās best CC. itās spammable and knocksdown targets forever.
you need atleast level 4 zombify, the extra 2 points can go in something else if u want.
stats: 50+ con (reccomended 75-125), rest int
I like bokor but the zombies get in the way a lot. they steal my healing tiles and I think they waste procs of cure as well. I would prefer an effigy based build rather than zombie one so I only take bokor 2. seems like most of the damage at higher levels is incinerate and plague vapors. also zombies are more objects on the screen so it might lag you out a lot. the zombies also cause me to have targeting issues. I have not played with damballa though and it does seem to be fun.
effigy is still nice though because the damage multiplier on the third hit is not affected by magic defense as much as other spells due to the way that extra damage is calculated.
senpai bokor says in http://www.tosbase.com/tools/skill-simulator/build/nq9fr23bax/
āIn short form, formula of almost skills can be described like this: (atk - def) * (many coefficient).
But effigy has the other form: ((atk * attribute) - def + bonus dmg) * (other coefficient).
This means effigy is still effect to the high Mdef, when Matk and attribute are sufficiently invested. And also it explains that 3rd hit bonus dmg dosenāt take big ratio in whole dmg of effigys at high attribute.ā
there are several builds that work.
If you dont use Zombies, so please dont pick Bokor. Because Effigy will take out all your SP. You will sell your house to buy SP potion. Moreover, since rank 8 was release, I never use Effigy anymore, haha. Iām thinking of using skill reset to reduce my effigy level and pay points for other more useful skill.
Zombies can use your Heal tiles or waste the Cure. So you have to learn how to use them. Bokor zombie is very hard class to play.
Zombie was buff much since its damage was added to Bwa Kayiman damage. And Damballa had remove knock down attribute. Moreover, Zombie could teleport to you when it is far to you.
When I played Bokor when the iTOS had just opened, Zombie was very terrible, but IMC did well, they made zombie being playable.
I dont think Pardoner is a good choice for rank 6, this is an old school thinking. Since PD2 Incinerator has 2 charge and 10s base duration, you can reach 20s Incinerator duration easier, so the extent buff from Pardoner isnt the best choice anymore. (Of course, if you get PD3 for rank 9, Incinerator will have 15s base duration and 20s cooldown, so the extent buff from Pardoner become more useless)
You can pick Druid or Krivis for more damage to boss, Priest or Diev for supporting in ET, or Oracle for saving 5 point of PD (instead of paying 5 points for Bloodletting, you can get Oracle Prophecy) and earning money from Change. If you can wait Miko realease, Miko is a good choice too.
Not to mention hex that can be resisted numerous of times by elite mobs, youāll be either laughing or face-palming once you do all your combo, its up to you.
The zombies sound pretty problematic, the other build cleric side that caught my eye was an pld/inquisitor, dex/crit build but a lot of the feedback ive read spoke poorly of their dmg. Idk Iām basically back at that point;
rank8 came out,
3 days later I had my 315 weapon
4 days later had a full 4/4 lv270 manahas set
5 days later I had completed every single quest and dungeon
6 days later wondering what to reroll b/c Iām back at nothing to do besides dailies
I run with a
Cleric C2, Bokor C2, Diev C1, Oracle C1, PD C2 Build and I absolutely love it. Iām only 290 but can honestly say Iāve had no trouble āyetā with the new areas. The build has even allowed me to get away with things a lot of others could not as easily. I didnāt go Pardoner for various reasons. It seemed like a waste of a space for me, and I havenāt regretted it once. Too many PDās so your crap gets over written anyways.
Although effigy is good Itās mostly filler, running a bokor 3 atm and damballa is where the damage is at. Iām going Druid c3 though so no help from me on PD. The damage/stat increase from transform and the physical pole of darkness combined with hexingās 30% dark damage boost.
How is your damballa against the new 280+ mobs? Do your zombies die fast in rank 8 maps? I rerolled and am waiting for Miko (Bomi Doctor), so i have to wait to find out q.q
I dont know about clerics, but i have heard pretty often that miko will replace pardoner as rank6 because his utility in pvp
Miko is there if you need a filler or donāt want heavy investment in PD when it comes to pvp builds. Thereās usually a hole in most cleric builds because of how the synergy is set up.
@OP,
One credible build for soloing is Kimās build. This is for pve though so Iām not sure if you wish to pvp with this build.
Here is some high level content. Keep in mind that this player is decked out attribute-wise and gear wise. These numbers would take a while to hit. As for potions, you should be able to manage any effigy build with Rasvoy potions.
My personal opinion is that the core of this build bokor2/x/x/pd2 is what really defines it. The diev/pard are optional, but works for this user as seen in the video.
Bokor3/pardoner works, but i agree with other people in the thread that pardoner isnāt needed anymore. I would recommend zombies if you solo most of the time. If itās only 50/50, you donāt really need zombies aside from some aggro pulling imo. Of course, you can 100% solo without zombies too if you wish.
Lol, I dont think zombie can die fast in rank 8. Indeed, mob has better damage, but its Hp is higher too. Zombie HP depends on mob HP. They are hard to be wiped out in a short time.
When I go with party, I still can do Damballa, and it deals huge damage. Damballa is only useful when you face many mobs.
What are you doing when your Black steam, Incinerator and safe zone are cooldown? Hex and Effigy like a dumb and waiting for mob approach and kill you? Or use Healing Factor and run like a chicken? Why dont use Bwa kayiman to stun mob and watch them die. And what are you doing if your Black Steam and Incinerator combo cant kill these mob? Throw a Damballa on them to last hit.
In fact, if you use Zombie, you still can get 15 lv Effigy. The difference is your Hex level is only 1. You can mimic Kimās build by getting Diev in rank 6. Of course, you can get higher level Hex by sacrifice some level of Samediveve or Zombify. But I recommend to get at least 9 or 10 lv zombify for 100% uptime (useful for Uphill)
I swear I dont know SP potion price in market because I never use this. I only use SP in emergency situation, and now, I still use free SP potion getting from the event.
For rank 5 you think pardoner is still a good choice? since in rank 6 there are many other choices, I chose to take diev in the first place for ET like you said and to help with mana, but come to think of it, ET parties will always want a diev2 diev3 around, not a diev1, with lots of debuffs on rank8 that other classes rely on, I think pardoner is still a good choice for r5 not just for your inci/pv but for party play as well, but r6 I think miko or oracle is a lot better for end game content than getting pardoner
Thank you.
I agree with you, but often times when I use zombies, party members will complain they cant see the mobs clearly lol so I typically stopped using it in party playāgot tired of hearing people complain. Of course, even if i use Tet they will still complain lol. I love zombies though <3
As for my personal build, i would use miko skills for my filler in a party. In solo play, i guess i would have both damballa and miko filler at my disposal. Sounds awesome!
Last time i checked, my zombies were dying in Storage relatively quickly (like 5 or 6 hits), but i was underleveled. Do zombies scale to player level in addition to monster hp? Iāll try this again when i get home from work.
Anyways, glad to hear your zombies are doing well in 280+ maps man. Canāt wait to hit that level so i can experience it first hand.
Damballa your zombies if your party members are having trouble. The damballa + summon zombie attribute is actually good enough that I get 3-4+ explosions off of 1 zombie capsule sometimes more if you get a ājackpotā as mentioned below. You can also help focus your zombies by using bwa kayiman into a circle.
Damballa will always do good damage because of its short cd and scaling.
You sometimes get more zombies out of using it.
- Good Luck: Zombies explode and get replaced so you have a good amount of zombies left over
- Bad luck: Zombies Explode once and are gone.
- Jackpot:Zombies explode and 2-4 zombies replace the initial zombie.
What happen if a party leader is looking for a healer? Iām Bokor 3 - Oracle - PD now, and no one pick me for ET. I cant support like a Diev3 or Priest3. I cant deal damage like a Ele3. (but I can deal damage better than others class but I still dont have any pt ET because my friends are weak and others ET parties are only shouting for Chrono or Ele3 or Diev3)
And the fact is only 10% bokor in this server is Zombie. Many players deny me because they are not familiar to Bokor zombie.
And you think Kim can go ET with his Bokor2 - Pardoner - PD2? (without Diev) I think no. Effigy is useless in ET. You can pick any others PD2 in this server (they can be Diev 3 or Priest 3) instead of picking a dumb Bokor who only knows playing doll.
Diev1 isnt better than diev3 but they are still useful. If you dont want to play zombie and still want go ET, I recommend you pick Bokor 2 - Diev - Oracle - PD2. Counter spell Oracle is like a second Safe zone.
Indeed, Zombies are very easy to die since they cannot handle too much hits. But I usually use Bwa Kayiman when my skills are cooldown. Mobs will be knocked and cant attack. Your zombies will live forever, huehuehue.
And I have a secret: I use SISSEL. Huehuehue
Exactly like you said, getting diev 1 wonāt get you a slot neither pardoner1 or boko3, so it boils down to you playing with friends who would get you to ET with non meta set up.
how is the damage of damballa? not familiar with zombie bokor since there are so few zombie bokor, are you doing fine with questing in 300+ content with damballa as one of your source of damage?
