At least kung fu frog is definitely more interesting RP.
heh i was under the impression that sadhu did the monk skills in oob but that was silly. having an actual monk char is a pipe-dream. no fist weapons, no synergy, no dice. i understand that now. just nostalgia from ro but itās a shame that monk turns into a filler-class for a certain niche pve build to replace essentially auto-attacks.
focusing on the cleric2 > krivis3 > miko > oracle > taoist. my understanding is that iāll be able to deny most forms of damage (between safety zone and counter spell), cancel most buff skills and have really good synergy with all the lightning-based skills. am i thinking right this time? i donāt think safety zone applies, but does melstis work with counter spell? if not then iām open to dropping krivis down to 2 and possibly replacing oracle if thereās a better idea out there.
thanks again for all the advice, and sorry if iām stubborn sometimes 
I always find this thread useful when looking for build advice. I hope it helps you as much as it has helped me.
iāve definitely read through that and it was very helpful. if i didnāt outright copy the skills it helped me come up with the original taoist build, but it doesnāt cover oracle and synergy with melstis. iām not building the skills like that first one, iāve learned a lot since then for the record. maybe something like this (def not sure about miko skills yet):
When the rank reset comes, all of the experimental builds will be fine. I think you should do whatever you want.
