Paladin Build Compendium and FAQ [Updated 29/04/2016]

It’s entirely up to you. :smiley:

You can just focus on being more supportive by maxing revive and stone skin. You’ll lose a bit on the damage side, but in the end your party is less likely to make mistakes. We don’t know when Rank 8 is gunna release. Let’s hope by the time you reach it.

Aye. Ill lose Barrier and Conviction for now, but gain all those powerful chaplain benefits. Hmm…

But also how does Capella work exactly? Description kinda vague everytime I looked at it before.

It’s not really worth it because it ends up replacing your buffs and takes up all of your buff slots. It’s cute though. :stuck_out_tongue:

It takes your skills skill level unless you haven’t learnt it in which case it will just be level 1.

Ah ok. Seemed convenient but it has a lower duration time than casting the buffs individually. Alright then. Ill likely get Chaplain first before I use a stat potion, I need the strength and Dex I have now to be able to get there. I just hope I dont lose my Quest obtained stat points once I do reset, heard its been buggy lately.

Now to figure out if I wanna stick with Swords due to Deprotect, or go with Mace. Does anything scale with magic attack stat we use? Havent seen any evidence of it.

Cure but since you are a Priest, level 5 is not very useful. You could get a Valtas Morningstar for +27 holy damage. It will apply on every additional hit (sacrament, cafrisun, last rites and aspergillum).

for an extra 130 damage per auto attack.


The next one up is Valia but it’s hard to get. Drops from the 115 dungeon boss cube. It gives:

  • Attack on Devil Type Targets + 74
  • Holy property attack when equipped on a Cleric character + 50

Toy Hammer explodes every 10 hits (2 auto attacks as Chaplain)

  • Explosion damage scales with str.
  • It also can crit.
  • It does an aoe explosion hitting multiple enemies.
  • Very expensive to buy.

Hi, Nervepress. This is my Cleric build for idOBT on June 1st, focusing on int-con (not gettin’ spr at all). I go for Kabbalist because I’m sure there will be so many Plague Doctors–and two Pdocs seem, you know, superfluous tbh.

I just need more affirmation (again, again, again) that Smite works without str… Does it actually work even with rods? Speaking of rods, though, should I use a mace or rod for this build?

Thanks! :smile_cat:

o.O…

Pow Hammer!

But if it scales to str then not much good for int user?

Hello , i was trying to do a buffer/off dps build , can you give me some advice? , (i was thinking to use daino scrolls if i dont have a krivis in party)

stats :


Also , while leveling i was thinking to go like this for easy leveling

@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.

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

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.

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

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.

-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?

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

@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.

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

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. =(
