Eh.
Krivis has other issues then Zaibas.
Zac is SPR.
Divine Stigma is nothing
Zaibas is Int.
Aukuras is nothing.
Daino is nothing
Meltis
So Spr vs Int right?
Well their Crit debuff isnāt all that popular right now.

Think if Zalcaiās crit debuff scales with SPR too then it will be popular. Agree that Krivis has a lot of more issues than just the lightning damage spell.
Aukuras might be worth more than what we deem it is though. Has anyone tried the Aukuras lv15 (Krivis c3), Restoration lv15 (Paladin c3) build? The HoT (heal over time) might be worth a try?
Level 15 divine stigma yields 87INT which converts to approx. 214 matk (depending on receiverās INT since have matk bonus every 10points), roughly around 1 level of transcendence in a 330 orange practonium weapon. Buff isnāt all that bad but the duration of the buff is too short for my liking though. Maybe due to meletis they choose to make the duration so short sighz.
Meletis is really bad now. It just technically doubles what is left of the buffs. Changing the formula to something like (Skill level * 20)% + (Skill level + 1) secs will be better. At the very least there is a base 6 secs of duration added to the buffs.
Itās been done before, Squire foods + Aukuras = every second your HP regen ticks.
Depending on your class/gear, you might get enough regen that you can facetank all the bossās attacks and it still canāt hurt you faster than the regen.
What pains me the most for Zaibas is the bloody hit count limit, when more than 3 targets gets in it, the damage overall dps management drops like a rock.
Just remove the hit count limit and reduce the damage a bit and reduce spell circle duration make it a electric Hamaya.
The debuff doesnāt scale with SPR, but even if it did, you canāt get mobs crit resist below 0 and most mobs in the game have crit resist ~150. Thatās equivalent to +150 crit to all party members, which is nice but nothing to gaze at.
Aukuras + Restoration will never work. Aukuras cooldown just takes forever and the fact the torch is immobile in the ground makes it horrible.
I actually prefer this new melstis because itās not completely situational as the old one was. The old one required you to channel all the way through (and waste all your SP in the process) and it required a very strategic party setup to make it overpowered. Instant cast Melstis makes it useful for many situations where you donāt want to stand still doing nothing and donāt require to tell your party members to stay close to you.
Also Iād like to mention the 20 seconds cap to melstis seems to be applied per buff rather than per melstis cast. This means 2 krivis casting Melstis at same time will make one Melstis completely useless (wonāt increase duration by another 20 sec). I guess they did this so you wouldnāt get permanent duration buffs by having 3 krivis in your party (with one being a dividirbys, this could of been pretty doable).
Divine stigma is somewhat more useful now since the % bonus from rank ups was taken away and your INT/STR is overall lower but more significative. Equipments take a bigger part of the account for damage output, but INT/STR still plays a valuable role. The duration is pretty decent when you use it with Melstis.
I canāt argue that Krivis should get better overall skills. Aukuras is pretty useless (yeah even with squire foods cause it still has a stupid cooldown and itās immobile on ground) and Daino only requires lvl 5 at most (unless youāre a GvG addict). Zalciai is kind of contradictory with the class since Zaibas is magical skill.
I feel like krivis needs one more fire / eletricity damage skill. Too many points leftover.
Perfect, lvl15 reduces 150crit res, IMC wants kriv players to max it since labeled it as a hot skill.
