[Need advice] Unsure if this Full Support build for cleric is doable

Thank you all for your input

If you’re going for a support build, I would recommend dropping Paladin. You would be much better served going Priest3 or Cleric3 instead. 15 tile heals + stronger safety zone, or lv10 Mass Heal and Stone Skin is much better support than taking only 1 rank of Paladin. SP Recovery is cool and all, but your party will be much more concerned with their HP vs their SP at the higher level dungeons and pvp. Since your priority is to provide “as much heal as possible”, this is a better path for you.

Personally if you’re only taking Krivis for Daino, I’d drop that too and grab another rank of Cleric/Priest also. Only because INT DPS Cleric builds are a popular class and they all take Krivis and therefore Daino, and they most likely have a higher level of it since most go Krivis2. However, Zaibas is great DPS for yourself when you’re not partying so it’s not a bad choice. But if you don’t, you could take Oracle at C6 and go Oracle2 or Kabbalist at C7. Or Cleric3/Priest3.

If you want very effective SP healing take a look at Kabbalist at C7. Ein Sof is ludicrously good. It increases both maximum HP and recovers SP at the same time with the attribute learned.

Zaibas is the only magic damage skill that can hit flying monsters in cleric tree (i dont count Ressurection/Aspersio/Divine Might as offensive skills). If you are not always with party and dont have Zaibas - it is better to go str/dex or spr/dex.

Possession, Effigy, Incineration, Merkaba, Astral Body Explosion, Out of Body (technically, it does do magic damage).

There’s usually plenty of options, but since OP wants to go support, yes, Zaibas would be your only anti-air skill for a long time.

How did you even come to this conclusion lol.

From experience. You should take a note that we were talking about full support build.

My 1st(!) char in iCBT2 was cleric2-priest2, int/spr based, without Arde. Flying monsters were a pita - you have nothing to kill them quickly and efficiently. Only sacrament+cafrisun set+blessing abuse made life a little bit easier.

So experience lets you make a factually incorrect statement? I could add Carve Owl, Exorcise, Damballa, Indulgentia etc but I think you get my point.

This was not mentioned in your first post.

I guess this will be my final build.

[/quote]I’d advise to change:
Blessing 15, Mass heal 5 > Blessing 10, Mass heal 10. 20 additional damage is not worth the loss of healing capability imo.

Cure 10, Deprotect 0 > Cure 7, Deprotect 3 (for attribute and duration) or Cure 9, Deprotect 1. Deprotect is a nice debuff that scales with SPR and is very powerful vs bosses. Especially in party with swordies.

Zlaciai 5 > Zlaciai 4, Aukuras 1. Zlaciai scales with SPR nicely and you probably want that fire resistance from Aukuras’ attribute.

That was mentioned in topic header. You’ve probably missed it.

[lostjossie]

Thanks for the suggestion.
I was actually quite unsure about Blessing and Sacrament scaling so I will try and test it out when a BT comes again and see if I should drop one of them for mass heal.
I’ll probably drop the cure and get deprotect as you said since my PD is focused on removing / preventing status aliments.
I’ll think about Aukuras.

I just realized that only Templar can make a guild (which is great imo) and I’ll probably main a C1 Swordsman C3 Peltasta C2 Squire and C1 Templar instead while making this Full Support cleric to be my secondary character.

The topic heading has no bearing on or in no way alters this absolute and factually incorrect statement.

Zaibas is the only magic damage skill that can hit flying monsters in cleric tree.

It’s like me saying that Heal is the ONLY holy property magic attack in the Cleric tree. It is an absolute statement that does not care whether we’re talking about full support or dps or what.

But whatever you don’t seem like you’ll get it anyway so continue misleading people okay?

You are not adding anything useful to discussion by picking on my choice of words and personally attacking me.

I am telling you and fellow readers that your statement was misleading. But you wouldn’t even edit it so yup I guess I’ve failed to add anything useful.

[Indeed]

I guess this will be my final build.

If you are SPR base, you don’t need more than one point in Zalciai and Stone Skin.
Meanwhile, if you remove 1 level from Safety Zone and for Divine Might, since their cooldown are as much if not bigger. It will mostly give you the same effect to level 10, but perhaps being more flexible on which skills you want to increase.
