Class and Rank Cleric
#174

@wboccato I’m not sure if this has already been addressed, but TU just deals a lot of damage when it procs. In my build, I’m bringing it up to about level 4. Each level only increases targets hit. It has a 30%-50% chance to instakill each enemy it hits, and at 280 each enemy can have like 100k-300k health each. I would never max it, because the area just isn’t big enough to hit that many targets, but it’s a really good skill.

@alexandrious2001 It sounds like most of your questions got resolved. So just in response to Swords vs Maces: As a chaplain I think you always go maces. As far as I can figure, your AAs gain aspersion damage from the Magic attack and regular damage from the Physical damage. Also, I heard the sword bonus on Deprotected Zone is fairly minimal (like -15 def at full stacks I think?)

@Randy Very solid build, I’m a huge fan. 2 things: Put a point into Restoration. Just 1. Take it out of Resist Elements, Turn Undead, or Smite. Restoration is great. Increases healing from all sources, has nearly 100% uptime. Also, Smite won’t work great with rods unfortunately. You don’t need STR to make it work, but physical damage from items shouldn’t be passed up. I would stick with a mace. If you really feel like it, you can run a rod and a sword and switch to your sword for Smiting. But weapon swapping is kinda buggy, so I wouldn’t recommend it with that short of a cooldown.

@Nelkore I don’t really think that 1 rank or Paladin is worth it, especially that late in your build. All you’re really getting out of it is restoration. Resist Elements at level 5 only has like 50% uptime, and it has like half the chance to block incoming spells. I think your build would actually be better off with PD or Kabbalist at rank 7. Also, I would adjust your stats. You’re not really getting a whole lot of use out of that STR or DEX. I would focus your points on CON, INT, and SPR, because as is you’re spreading yourself a little too thin.

#175

Mmm… i think that dex its needed for a solo auto attack pj xD algo with a little of strength for smite/critical smite D: x-x

#176

The DEX is entirely unneeded. If you’re using it for PvP, then maybe. But for PvE, you need 0 DEX. And no, the STR reeaaally isn’t worth it. You’ll get more INT than you would STR if you just put those points into INT.

And honestly, 100~ points in a primary stat at level 200+ (where those stat points would put you) is really bad. If you were to just put your points from DEX and STR into INT, you’d have 250+ INT. Which still isn’t even particularly high, but it’s a lot better. Or if you put them in SPR, you’d have 200+ SPR.

#177

oh , okay , :x , and pally c1 , its worth it for this build? , or its better a krivis for daino :x?

#178

I personally think you should grab a high ranking class last. You can always buy Daino scrolls like you said. Plague Doctor is strong, Kabbalist is pretty decent, Oracle might be good.

But I mean, you have time to think about it.

#179

-the guy from one year ago-

Ohhhh the struggle is real, especially since Smite scales off physical attack and it has such short cooldown. My magic spells are Heal (yeah, I’ll be using this as a nuke often since 32 tiles are too many), Cure, Revenged 7x, and Merkabah. All of them have pretty long cd, however they pack a punch with more magic attack.

Should I level TU instead to lvl 15–sacrificing Smite–just so I can use a rod 24/7? What do I gain from lvl 15 TU with int build, and what do I lose?

#180

;-; , my actual pj its with 33str/81dex / int-spr-con default , level 78 , cleric 1 - priest 2 , should i delete it and restart? :/?

#181

@Randy Clerics in general can use rods just fine. Paladins, Chaplains, and/or Monks cannot as they have to Auto Attack pretty regularly (more so Chaplains and Monks). And I mean. You’re still gonna get magic attack from maces. Just not quite as much. I would only use rods on classes that don’t do physical damage at all (Krivis > Druid, Sadhus, etc).

You should absolutely not sacrifice smite for a lvl 15 TU. TU’s only scaling is the number of targets it can hit. Not the area, just its AoE ratio (essentially). TU has 0 INT scaling.

@Nelkore I meaaan. I dunno. You could do a STR Pally if you want? I wouldn’t recommend going Chaplain at that point tbh. If all your points are in STR/DEX, then make a STR/DEX char.

I would recommend either C1 > Priest 3 > Pal 3 or C1 > Priest 3 > Monk 3.

#182

oww x-x , the thing here its that a priest3 pally 3 isn’t a good support / dps i think x-x

#183

Lol it turns out that using a mace is inevitable when you are a Pally.
You need to stack elemental bonuses and actually autoattack between cd. Gee, well, gotta try not to be a rod snob.

Thanks, @asphidel. =D

Oh man, there will be more classes focusing on int later. =(

#184

IMO cleric c2 is enough because
cleric c2 curse have 30 hit
cleric c3 curse have 38 hit

I think 8 hit that really waste and curse is pretty long cd. you can get another class at c3 example : krivis for zaibas, boker for effigy or another choice.
If you interesting magic dps druid is better kabalist but kabalist is good support class you can choose if you need support team.

For TU i recomment lv2 is enough or more but lv15 for sacrifice smite I think that not good idea because TU have HUGE LONG CD. and after you cast TU you can spam with smite. smite is good for every build don’t worry about physical dmg for int build, It pretty good enough for use them.

#185

Basically, Alice, it’s just me. I’m obsessed with C3s.

Yep, people learn everyday haha. I’ll stick to maces (judging you, Smite and elemental bonuses) until more classes are revealed.

#186

Is their a reason for no Sacrament?

#187

Is Cleric>Krivis>Krivis>Paladin>Paladin>Paladin>X viable? I like the Krivis/Paladin playstyle with Smite/Zaibas/Zalciai. I like to be able to buff myself and hit hard, can I do that?

If it’s viable, should I go STR/CON/DEX or something else?

I would really appreciate some guidance because I’m a little lost at the moment and I already started Cleric>Krivis2 (which I like, if the paladin way is to gimpy I’ll try druid but I would really prefer to go the paladin route).

Thanks ahead for the answers.

#188

@jffmferraz I wouldn’t go for Paladin route without Cleric c2 but since you already skipped it at rank 2 and 3 I can’t recommend it.

If you statted full SPR you have a few options. But my favourite right now would be:

Krivis c3 > Pardoner > Kabbalist. I can send you the build in PM if you’re curious about it.

#189

Yes I’m curious, I would appreciate if you were to send me the build. Is druid also viable with what I already have?

#190

Full-Support Gimmick Build

Actually this is kind of a gimmick build and not garenteed to work. I only know one person who is doing this because we had a conversation about what to do as a cleric c2 > krivis c3 with full-spr.

We came up with this build discussing his full-spr Cleric c2 > Krivis c3.

I just want to say sorry for wasting your time with that passing thought. But there are other options. The better option being to go Cleric c2 > Monk c3 to capitalize on that high base damage. You can be somewhat supportive and a healer while doing some dps.

Monk PvE Support + Kamehameha

Energy Blast scales amazingly well with INT but costs a lot of SP. You won’t need STR because you’ll already have high skill base damage and zalciai to debuff enemies.

INT - Increases your Energy Blast and Zaibas damage as well as your heal tiles.

SPR - Increases your mana pool, gives you a greater damage and higher chance to crit with zalciai debuffing enemies and bosses. You can still do significant damage to bosses this way.

DEX - If you only focus on PvE you don’t really need DEX at all.

CON - Always have high CON as a Cleric. Especially as a melee build.

Plate Armor attribute - for 2.5k extra hp

Catacomb Mace gives you +300 magic attack and decent physical attack for Energy Blast Damage and Zaibas. Also gives +1500 hp. You will need it.

Beetleback shield gives +1500 hp.

Aias shield gives x2 Block Rate and 80 block.

You’ll need critical gems and gear to get some critical chance. Zalciai will be doing some of the work.

In the end you’ll have something like this:

#191

Int??? Sorry, I’m genuinely curious.

#192

I thought Energy Blast does flat damage & increases 1% per attribute? Don’t rmb it scaling with INT; SPR may help it a little since it consumes 30SP/s but usually better off going to other stats.

#193

DO NOT LVL TU TO 15! There is no reason why you would ever want to rely on such a high cd skill for damage. Sure, there are some high cd skills that are worth it. Like ones that will actually one-shot things like meteor or fire pillar. TU can already one-shot things at lv 1. 1 is enough. Smite will actually be better. Even with no str, if you have a mace, the base damage, skill damage, plus p.atk you gain from leveling up will still make the skill worth using on demons and mutants. They are fairly common mob races to see. Not to mention conviction debuff multiplies smite damage by 3.

The difference between smite 15 and tu 15 is roughly 800 skill damage. This is roughly 400 points in int to get 800 matk due to bonus points and rank bonus. That’s more stat points than you’ll get by lvl 280. TU will never be stronger than smite right now. Even more so since its single hit and smite can potentially triple hit plus 1 more hit from the attribute. Lv1 TU can kill undead/mutants just fine. Don’t turn down smite.

This is what I’m going with. Get at least 1 of every skill and master barrier. I prefer resist elements over restoration since the important part of resto is the sp recovery attribute. You can move whatever points into resto if that’s what you prefer
