Monk - Everything before monk seems crappy >.>

Class and Rank
#1

Lets see

Cleric 3 - You get max safety wall and probably deprotection zone
Priest 2/3 - You get mass heal and a bunch of poorly scaling buffs that you can buy from a pardoner
Krivis 1/2 - You get some buffs that are even worse than priest and a leveling nuke that is near useless as monk
Dievdirby 1/2 - Cooldown reducing totem, Silencing totem is nice for PvP, Warp totem is neat.

Paladin 1 - 2 buffs not worth buff slots and your choice of a 9s cd poor damage smack or 100s cd kill undead
Sadhu - In theory you can out of body and snap to it for mobility. In reality the cast time on out of body + your ping means you could walk about as fast, explosion knockdown could be a mindgame for PvP though (is he relocating or is it going to explode)

Anyways I’ve got a priest3/paladin, cleric3/sadhu and a krivis/dievdirby. They all feel kinda meh. Priest is by far the strongest of the 3 for leveling with sancti/blessing (and a bunch of attribute) but I don’t feel like self buffing is going to be great in the end when I can just buy the buffs, otherwise priest would be the winner to me. (Overall the 5 buff limit really makes me dislike picking any classes for thier buffs such as priest, swordman3, archer3 etc)

EDIT: The more I think about it, the more I think pardoner is to blame. How can I feel that taking any of the classes with buffs is good in the long run when I can just buy those buffs from a pardoner.

Lol?

Krivis works really good with monk.

Good skills for monk: Zalciai(53 crit atk), Divine stigma(+43 str/int if level 5, 78 if level 10)

Useful: Daino

Also, try trying to read the simony scroll list, you can barely buy any usable buff lol.

Monstrance and blessing scale into high level really well.

My own build is going to be: Cleric-Krivis-Krivis-Krivis(full int)-Monk(reset). Might decide to go paladin before monk, still not sure

#3

does the reset work for abilities you picked or just stats?

#4

I’m a krivis and trust me, leveling definitely easier than being a priest.

Zaibas, you get a magic attack that can curb stomp those pesky ghost weak to magic and also a decent crowd control. Get it to lv 10 or 15 and it’s a good skill to have, even if you have 3 int

Daino, more buff means party is happy.

Zalcial, not a fan of this skill but it does have interesting attributes that I consider useful.

Aikuras, not good but its attribute increases your fire resistance, so that’s good.

#5

The problem isn’t the classes before, its Monk itself. You’re making a damage class out of a primarily healer class. Of course it’s going to be rough to find synergy in there.

But its definitely there. Zalcia + Monstrance is freaking OP if you get any combination of Krivis + Priest. Divine Stigma’s STR buff, don’t say thats not good, lol.

Edit: Oh forgot to mention, assuming you make a STR:SPR build with some CON in there, everything will provide you with decent enough benefits, and Zaibas is OP enough without any INT, Divine Stigma’s INT is just going to make it monstrous.

#6

the problem with divine stigma, is the duration of the debuff on the enemy. 9 seconds at lv 5. You need to kill them fast . Then there’s also the chance the enemy will resist it.

But then again, once you turn monk and active offensive skill, it might be good.

#7

Its really easy to upkeep even during boss battles because you can just cast it on a spawned mob one hit from death and then blow it up. The only difficulty is as you said, if the target resists it. But even then, its still well worth having even a small chance of getting 43 levels of STR for 30 seconds of glory.

#8

In my case, you get around 30-50 base damage on a normal attack at lv 5. At level 10, I wonder how strong it is.

Divine stigma needs practice and getting used to it.

#9

Abilities too which is why I list things like Ziabas as good for leveling even if you don’t keep it as monk

#10

If there wasn’t a limit on buffs I would def go 2priest/paladin or 2krivis/paladin

As for buffs you can get 2 hours sancti and 30m blessing/asperio from pardoner in town (can’t buy scrolls for this) and you can buy scrolls for krivis buffs.

Again im not saying its 100% useless to be able to self-buff but I wouldn’t want to waste entire class choices on things that can be replaced by a scroll lol.

#11

I’ve done both and a str priest with attribute leveled blessing/sancti is pretty much plowing through mobs like no tomorrow with no need to ever rest for sp/hp.

Leveling speed/ease isn’t the purpose of this thread though ;p

#12

First of all:

Current available skills for simony: Cure, Deprotected Zone, Aukuras, Zalciai, Daino, Monstrance, Restoration, Turn Undead, Barrier, Arcane Energy, Clairvoyance, Forecast

Also

Current available skills for spell shop(might be outdated): Aspersion,blessing,sacrament and indulgentia. According to people, the spell shop skills do not benefit from the caster’s attributes. So you’d have better buffs by being one yourself.

#13

Hmm i’m thinking to go Cleric > Krivis > Priest > Sadhu > Monk C2. Will this synergize well? And hey, where can i buy the buffs?

#14

I think if you’re taking priest you want 2 circles of priest because the synergy between blessing and sancti is pretty insane.

As for Sadhu, it’s basically just a mobility skill. One which im not even sure is good due to a) can be canceled before you can use it and b) it’s not that fast to cast

Im leaning toward Cleric2/Priest2/Diev1 or C1/Priest3/Diev1

#15

The only buff that really benefits from attributes is blessing though (which isn’t great from a spell shop anyways since it still had a hit limit) =/

#16

Hm, and Sadhu’s damage is magic nop? Yeah, really don’t function very well … thanks!

#17

Sadhu first circle is basically just a short range teleport with a 1s cast time that can be interrupted.

#18

Yeah, I went cleric c2/diev and I regret it so much, the only good thing on the build is to be able to deal all 3 armor damages: slash, strike and pierce, but ghosts take so long to kill it’s sad.

But it’s still beta afterall, who knows what crazy classes and skills we may get in the future?

For now remember to never get cleric2 when going monk.

#19

How would you guys rate,
cleric1>priest2>paladin1>monk2
cleric1>priest3>monk2
cleric1>krivis1>priest2>monk2
what would you guys think is the best of the 3 focusing mostly on end game pve and ease of leveling?

#20

@randomcoestudent

  1. Pretty much some people take this build. They finally get an active skill + few defensive buff. Priest c2 is good though.
  2. Common path from those taking monk. Offensive buff makes easy killing of mook, though costly
  3. Not my taste, unless you want to get daino lv 5. Krivis 1 is not good, since you can’t utilize krivis attribute. You need krivis c2 to get a decent zaibas that can kill enemies easy.

Out of the three, 2 - 1 - 3
