Hello everyone!
I plan to play this build --> Chap>PD2 but I’m not know the play style of this build yet so… I have a question
1.I’m kind of lost about this skill build , I never play Cleric before . Can you please make a skill build for me?
My objective is occasionally solo DPS and party support
2.Why this build have to put all stat to SPR? Did some skill of this build depend on SPR?
3.Does sacrament important in this build?
4.Any weapon/equipment suggestion?
Haven’t really tried PD, but if you read around the forums, there’s also a suggestion to build this with full INT (check Wurmheart’s Intermediate Guide to Clerics). You can put off points from Bless and instead max Aspersion, get some Mass Heal, and max Exo.
If you want a total solo char, build it full SPR. you won’t need HP/SP pots.
PD must have Healing Factor, since it’s probably the strongest spell of the class.
If you build SPR Aspersion is not mandatory, my suggestion would be to focus on the support part (Revive, Mass Heal, Stone Skin), since 2 points in Resurrection are enough.
Incineration is still worth it, considering the damage bonus that it gets from Blessing and it’s quick hitting nature. Also, most of damage gained comes from the matk of a weapon, so if you intend on putting a lot of time and resources in to this character, it will have high matk regardless; so definitely get incinerate.
I don’t PvP with this character, so as you can see the points put into PD2 are just enough to get rid of the problematic debuffs that occur during PvE (Bloodletting does most of the work, since most debuffs that arise are dealt with by that).
I found that the damage reduction from Stoneskin really isn’t worth the points invested and cuz of the speed at which all of this build’s magic attacks hit, blessing really benefits, so going full Spr as opposed to full Int makes very little difference and by going full Spr you’re able to heal more efficiently.
thank for all of you guys
but I have another questions 1.to use AOE skill of PD is to do after this step -->Black death stem(create a toxic) > pandemic(spread it) > incineration(do damage) right?
2.I don’t have a clue about equipment but I see most of player wear equipment that +spr
My question is how to get those equipment such as reine mace ?
3.I saw some buff shop that exceed 4000+ blessing how they get that high damage 0.0?
Yep, BDS > Pandemic > Incineration. if you’re up against a smaller group of enemies and BDS is on cd, use Exorcism or Cure as a debuff for Incineration.
Spr is gotten because of the scaling blessing has with Spr which brings the stat almost in line with Int, as soon as there’s one other person, Spr comes out ahead of Int.
A lot of the equipment comes from the Hunting Grounds that has things like bonus Spr and other stats, so drop a google search for hunting ground locations and you’ll find a list of them all.
To get a blessing that high they would need TP rented +spr items, Doyor gem for increased blessing and a Sadhu 3 with full Spr and TP rented Spr items to transfer across 60% of their Spr to the Pardoner; normally getting a blessing that high is nigh impossible without a very specific setup and in group content it’s not worth the hassle.
There are others builds that use Chaplain-PD
This one indicated by RONZU dont use Magnus exorcismus For example, whilers others use. Check each skill before decide how to use the points. Dont focus only on one build exactly, build your own acordingly with the skills you think may be worth it. [quote=“lungcherm, post:1, topic:363998”]
2.Why this build have to put all stat to SPR? Did some skill of this build depend on SPR?

Blessing Scales with SPR, I tested myself.
About INT vs SPR you can check my post asking about that, when I was about to make the chaplain.
I like to put at least 1, because if you die and get revived (specially because the skill REvive that revive you, but you lose all the Buff from shops) its good to have sacrament to be complemented by your blessing.
But its your choice.
Blessing is very limited on buff shopps, it ends too soon, but sacrament and aspersion are much more powerful on buff shopp and least much more.[quote=“lungcherm, post:1, topic:363998”]
Any weapon/equipment suggestion?

You can use SPR equipment or like me use swap weapons to change to an Sage Wall shield for example only to apply blessing, then back to catacombs mace plus dagger. Buts is your choice.
OMG I didn’t put any skill point on exorcism and just put 1 skill point on cure!
I thought that exorcism is damage skill and cure is clear-debuff skill.
Good enough that I save skill reset potion from close beta bundle.
I would second @kazamatenkai and recommend that you also visit the thread he quoted in his reply. Plenty of lessons and comparisons between a SPR Chap>PD2 vs. an INT Chap>PD2 in that thread.
Exorcism is a damage skill but it’s a dot and classes as a debuff which can be used for incinerate - cure does remove level1 debuffs but it is also a quick hitting dps spell if you can get the enemy in it. Them standing in the Cure tile gives them a debuff which can be used for incinerate too.
Secondarily, Exorcism needs to be placed to use Magnus Exorcismus, so I would always recommend at least 2 or 3 points in Exorcism since the amount of times it can proc on an enemy is dependent on it’s level.
