Hi,
Currently I’m thinking of going CLERIC > KRIVIS 3 > MONK 3
But I do not know what status are best for this build.
STR? CON? DEX? INT?
What proportion ?
PS: Sorry for the bad English is not my native language .
Krivis Zaibas scales off Int. All the Monk skill scale off STR.
I would say don’t go this build.

I don’t particularly like Krivis->Monk because :
- Zalcai scales off of SPR, and SPR is a waste for Monks and is worse than investing in DEX(-0.8 crit resist per SPR on Zalcai, +1 crit rate per DEX on Monk).
2.Monks don’t have INT scaling skills
3.Monks don’t need Daino
Depends on your point of view, Sure it doesn’t give you as much crit rate on enemies as putting straight into dex would, but at the same time it also puts your crit atk up at a 1:1 ratio, so it’s kind of like by putting into spirit you’re effectively splitting a point between dex and str. SPR monk can work, You’re just going to be very dependent on deprotected zone and zalciai.
But without accuracy,evasion… It’s a complete waste imo. You’d be playing Monk without DEX, it’s basically a PvE build for a PvP focused class.
And also keep in mind that you would not crit as much and only against stuff that is under Zalcai effect(which is why I think it’s a PvE build)
The main benefit of this build would be by combining Melstis with Iron Skin or Golden Bell…tho you have chosen none of these skills?
Without that combo in mind this build is drawn in too many different stat directions to be viable
How can you alone perform Melstis with Iron skin or Golden Bell,all 3 of them are channeled skills LMAO.

True monks tend to be more on the str department but zaibas is definitely useful, even for str or crit build monk. It makes like easier: a range magical spell that deal magic damage and also you gain lightning element. You’re not gonna have a lot of buff but having Daino around lv7 - 10 would make your party very happy since they can spam their respective buffs again and again.
And for the note, iron skin and golden bell shield are channeling skills. I’m certain melstis is not gonna affect their duration.
Hmm, yes and no. For 1v1 duels I agree completely. For battle league and guild wars all the other class trees have access to snares, stuns and disables, plus they can chase/push enemies into your zalciai which is pretty massive. So that style of build not only makes your own attacks stronger, but your entire parties. Depend on what type of player you are.
Have a PD in the enemy team? Your zalcai does nothing, you’ll do ■■■■ dmg. Too situational, that’s why it’s pve only.
No dex? good luck against archers/swordies
And having PD as a hard counter isn’t situational really? It’s one class out of 80. So I guess zalciai is situational if by that you mean every situation but one.
I mean let me use an example of your logic at work here.
Kabbalist/Monk in enemy team? Physical attacks can reflected, they’re too situational.
Oracle in enemy team? Can block magic, mage tree too situational.
Also evasion is trash in PvP with the amount of accuracy gloves give. Full dex is dead for a reason

@iago_l have a reason
all physical dps in any kind of PK are suck with out dex.
the attack may hit once every 10.
Zalciai 20s cd not even good spr scale.
Deprotected Zone 13s cd is just a small magic circle.
SPR monk sure suck
This build can work, but you should grab Deprotected Zone, Melstis, and Hand Knife.
Then, out of a 5:5 ratio, select at least 2 DEX, 1 SPIRIT, and the rest can be either 2 CON, 2 DEX, 1 CON 1 DEX, or 2 STR. (I would do 2 CON if you plan to use a shield.)
SPIRIT and DEX will be your substitute for STR because of Zalciai and Deprotected Zone.
I wouldn’t bother with INT. Your level 15 Zaibas will be strong enough without it. Once you become a Monk, you won’t have to rely on Zaibas as much.
Deprotected Zone has an auxiliary skill that inflicts Weakened Defense if you use a sword with it. I suggest getting Deprotected Zone + a sword so you can utilize your SPIRIT for damage instead of STR. Once you get the damage stacked, then you can spam Double Punch.
Hand Knife’s auxiliary afflicts armor break. I’m not sure how it works, but it could help your damage out, too. Also, it inflicts knockdown. That’s pvp sauce.
Melstis is just a really good support skill for your party. Not sure if you intend to do alot of party play.
If you want to focus on pvp, you may want to consider getting Paladin C1 instead of Krivis C3. Paladin C1 has Smite which is another knockdown skill with overheat, and Restoration which increases your healing ability. Even as a Paladin, the previous stat build I mentioned should suffice especially if you return to Krivis C3 for rank 8.
Hope this helps.
Wait, you’re missing the point here.
In order for this build to do dmg, you need teamates that can keep the enemy team locked in a place(to hit Zalcai) and without any type of lv1 stat ailment disabling(ALL CLERICS CAN DO THAT, CURE DOES THAT)
Evasion isnt trash in PvP, equip is standardized(which means you depend on your DEX for accuracy).
Btw, I’m pretty sure 80% of clerics r7 choose PD, I’ve seem a graphic somewhere about it…
-
Have you seen any arena battles where someone isn’t getting locked into place? I’m serious. Every team battle arena I’ve seen someone is getting CC’d. Is the reason the leaderboards are largely dominated by wizards.
-
I know equipment is standardized. I’m saying it doesn’t take a lot to overcome. I ran spr monk in ICBT2 and had no problem hitting archers and swordies at level 200 duels with my level 120 gloves (legwyn I think) Evasion is a pve stat.

I’d need to see that graphic.
Oh crap! /ApplyPalmtoForehead

Just because Zalciai scales off SPR it doesn’t mean it is total garbage without it.
So here are my thoughts about a DEX build ( I don’t mean pure DEX btw. It can be DEX/STR or DEX/SPR or DEX/STR/SPR or maybe something with DEX and little bit of CON…) with Krivis:
If you would make a DEX oriented build you would have some crit rate anyway so you don’t necessary have to use Zalciai as a debuff. Lvl 3 gives +125 crit attack buff with attribute what is nice imo.
Daino is always a nice buff.
Aukuras can help reduce the enemy’s accuracy what is also nice with the evasion provided by DEX.
If you would make a DEX build I have more concern about Zaibas and Cure. I still don’t know how much Zaibas can die off with time without INT…but Cure doesn’t even have enough base damage. Both of them are nice multihit skills so additional element attack helps them too but I still think you should drop at least 4 point from Cure and put it on Deprotected Zone,
Also I find Divine Stigma unreliable…and not because that 78 INT/STR is a flat stat bonus but because its duration is horrible too and in addition you have to kill something for it. I would move those points to either Aukuras or Daino or a bit to both.
But you could also consider only taking c1(or 2) Krivis, you could have lvl 3 Aukuras and Zalciai and the rest distributed between Zaibas and Daino. Then you could get c1 Priest for lvl5 Blessing for additional damage and lvl 1 Monstrance for a nice DEX buff. You could also have lvl 5 resurrection so you would be more useful in some parties and pvp and lvl 4 Aspersion…but other distributions could be fine too.
This is an example if you would go for c1 Krivis and c1 Priest:
Everything after Rank 3 meant for a possibility for rank 4. I didn’t include Krivis c2 but that could be too. You could also exclude Priest on c3 and get Krivis c2 then something else. The main thing is that I think Daino and Zalciai and Aukuras still make a DEX build good then you can get Monk to complement it.
There are rly lot of possibilities… You just have to choose your main stat(s) first then grab the skills that could get the most out of it.
PVE build.
Thank you all for the comments. I will take into consideration each one.
dont be fooled by other this is clearly potential pvp build
status i think half SPR half DEX
SPR for critical damege/via zaclai, block penertation
Dex for critical chance and acuracy help it by gem for critical chance
eguipment should be plate armor with some block penertation and critical damege
weapon is sword with crit chance / critical damege / block penertation
in pvp just smack the face of some other cleric class with their OP stone skin with high block penertation
