Hi guys <3
Couple days ago i faced this build: http://info.tos.nexon.com/community/job/view.aspx?n4ArticleSN=979
As i do not understand Korean i have to ask you guys. Does Sadhu and Monk have ANY synergy? Like, at all?
I’m currently in Priest C2 thinking on what i choose and i’m really interested if Sadhu and Monk work.
obs: If i wrote something wrong, sorry, i’m from Brazil.
Ty guys <3
Let’s see.
Sadhu is INT-based. Monk is STR-based.
Aside from this obvious point, Sadhu gains an incredible Evasion percentage buff during OOB and can still use other skills while in OOB. Both Monk and Sadhu profit from DEX. On top of that the Monk’s skills base damages are quite high. You don’t necessarily need more physical atk to make them somewhat useful.
So theoretically, you could still cast something like the monk’s silence while in OOB. Perhaps you can also cast channeling spells while in OOB? Then you could use the Kame while in OOB (which benefits from all sorts of stats) and you could channel the invulnerability/defensive spells while in OOB (Golden Bell or Iron Cloth).
On top of that a few damage spells relying on base damage+crit from DEX like Double Punch with which you can make use of your Stamina pool.
No idea if this would work out, but I suppose it’s not entirely unlikely that it could. Especially if you can cast channeling spells while in OOB.
In the beta, I would try it just to see which side gets the bigger damage boost from str/int. Attacking while OoB will lure enemies to your body who you can then double punch down. Your extra defensive skills will let you stay oob longer, which is nice. It’s way better than going Cleric 2 at least. When mobbing you’ll likely want to stay physical. OoB is one of the best auto attacks around due to it’s speed and 3 hits. If priest buffs work on it, you could easily do a lot with a good mace/wizard blade and arde dagger, even if you don’t have int. It’s far easier to get good gear for str anyways. I’m kinda just rambling. It’s not optimized, but it definitely brings something new to the table.
Blessing does not work on oob, sacrament adds +40 dmg max only. No extra hit, no holy dmg type bonus.
Priest/sadhu does not work together at all. Esp with mass heal/resurrect/heal requiring decent positioning to use.
Nor is stone skin reliable enough to block enough attacks to safely use oob.
Mace + Arde dagger could work, but you’d still get a drastic dmg reduction from enemies magic defenses.
And the monk defense skills are channels, so you can’t attack during them with other monk skills. Meaning it just delays while oob deals ■■■■ dmg.
tl/dr: no.
Even the korean article states it is not a good combination. But i’m not entirely sure what the first line is saying.
Either way using oob > astral body explosion to agro would be decent, and prakriti for positioning/healing.
But that’s it.
yes blessing doesnt work for sadhu in oob right now,
but monstrance and ressurection are useful
Monstrance is only good for high dex builds, and a sadhu should be full int or maybe spr anyway.
Resurrection has far to low base dmg and is a single hit. The knock back is decent utility. I’m no longer getting interrupted with it either, that’s definitely a nice bonus. Not sure why though. aka bad dmg, good utility.
Ty guys for all replies and theorycrtafting <3
