How does this look? Am I on the right track, or is this just a terrible idea.
Stats will be Str/Con, with some dex, some int, and the left over into spr.
Let me know what you think.
Is this for PVE?
If yes, drop the Incineration, it doesn’t help at all vs mobs if you have neither intention to go PD C2 nor invest into INT decently. Since the damage stems from a debuff, it can be resisted by mobs and without INT and a basic duration of 5 seconds, it’s basically useless.
Bloodletting should be at 5 to make it ± a permanent protection against Rank 1 and 2 status ailments. Beak Mask is useless if you got Fumigate and Bloodletting, so better drop it and get Pandemic instead. Pandemic will help you to spread the Conviction debuff as well as maybe the Resist Elements debuff.
At Priest, please drop at least 1 point from anywhere except Blessing into Monstrance, it grants you +10 Dex and a 30% bonus on your DEX stat and has ± 90% uptime with the attribute maxed.
Pandemic can’t spread Malleus
2 things you must max from Paladin are Resist Elements
You’d also want to max Breaking Wheel, and you can leave God Smash at level 1 to get Malleus at 4.
Finally, you’ll also probably want to drop either PD or Priest2 to get Cleric 2
I was hoping for something that would be viable in both.
To be honest I am not positive on going plague doctor, but I couldn’t find much else that meshed decently with paladin. I had considered picked up Cleric 2 for the heal squares, cure, and perhaps divine might.
Is Dex highly wanted for a Paladin build? I understand you need accuracy to hit things, but is it truly worth putting so many points into Monstrance?
I also was considering going priest 3 for the higher blessing power, the stoneskin, and possibly the exorcise skill ( to work with cure skill) but I believe I would need to stack way more Spr to have decent dmg with those.
I chose plague doctor because of its hp regen ability and immunity to ailments.
Thoughts? Any advice is useful.
As of right now, I am Cleric 1, Priest 2, Paladin 1.
Leave Monstrance at level 1.
Blessing’s a weak buff - especially on a physical build.
We take Dex not for Accuracy, but for Critical Rate. Reason for this is the high base damage we get from all of Inquisitor’s skills. A high Str build wouldn’t get you even a 50% boost, so just take Dex for Crits (x1.5 + Crit Atk).
I highly advise taking Cleric 2 for Heal tiles, Divine Might and the Safety Zone attribute. You can leave Cure at level 1, it’s not going to deal any damage later on for non-Int builds.
cleric 2 also for fade, really useful at high level maps or if you want to run away from mobs.
Like most of us in the forum, the consensus seems to be C2 if you still want to be seen as any kind of support. Now as to what to drop, I suggest you trade Priest 2 for Cleric 2. This is because Priest’s main attraction are ME Chaplain for INT build, Blessing and Stone Skin for SPR build, and Resurrection for basically a filler in everything else. Since you will likely be pumping DEX, Monstrance can also be a one point wonder so it’s reason enough for Priest 1.
Rank 7 is a problem for you since it is the only circle with potent debuff management. You WILL need a class that has debuff management so at least PD 1 or Miko is a given. Since you’re more likely to run around smashing things, then I suggest taking Miko. A Cleric’s routine is either running around smashing things or running around burning/electrocuting things anyway so the two don’t really mash up. I suggest going Miko and goes Maleficarum>Hamaya>Smite or Wheel>Conviction>God Smash in your rotation.
When I started the game, I used this guide to base my thoughts off of.
The way I altered my build was to give myself some solo’ability in pve.
Priest blessing seems to practically double my damage output, so I am not sure why it is considered weak o: Though I understand if that is just at my current level, and it falls off severely at later levels. That is why I chose Priest 2 though, rather than Cleric.
Should I consider Monk instead of plague doctor or Miko?
This is exactly why. Even my pure SPR Chaplain’s Blessing is underwhelming for R8 content. Priest 2 is fine though, for Revive. But Cleric 2 is something you do not want to miss out on.
Does Spr affect Blessings dmg though?
I don’t see it in the skill description. I know you can upgrade it at the priest npc though. At level 10 right now, it has +114 dmg on it at lvl 24 Enchance, and lvl 3 Attack Count
drop priest2 for cleric2
go full dex or high dex with some con
plague doctor is fine
incineration lv5 have nice damage even without int
it have aoe but priest1 lack of debuff
u can use conviction as debuff, it’s lack of range and aoe but still good to use when bossing
if u playing with party let them debuff/cc and u just incineration them
healing factor make you survive machine gun magic mob
if u party with tank put it to tank and everything will be easy
bloodletting is very useful in any situation
don’t build int paladin unless you are planing to go paladin3 plague doctor2
don’t mix too many stat
it’s waste your stat bonus and not making your char good at anything
dex+str, int, spr
pick one of this as main stat and mix it with con
then pick build path that synergy with your stat
if u want to play spr support, priest3 is good, krivis1 is nice
paladin is fine but it eat your 3 circle
you can buy cheap barrier scroll that still scale with spr
unless you want to craft your own scroll u can take cleric2krivis1paladin3pardon1
if u want to play magic dps like plague doctor(paladin)
cleric2+xxx+paladin3+plague doctor2
paladin boost your magic damage with conviction and resist element
if u want to play physical dps
cleric2+xxx+paladin3+xxx+inquisitor is way to go
Just a question in a team, what usually is the Paladin role? DPS, support.
every cleric is healer
(almost) every cleric have good dps
how good on each is depend on build path
it’s that all
standard rank8 cleric
plague doctor c2 - magic, sustain, aoe dps
taoist (with krivis3) - magic, single target
druid3 - hybrid
inquisitor - physical
kabba2 and oracle3 - no damage
paladin3 isn’t your "whole char"
but if u want to know about only "paladin c3"
paladin is nothing more than “barrier user” and “extra damage from conviction”
So if I want a support paladin which should be my path? Should I use SPR + DEX? Also can I level up alone or I will have 0 dmg = quite the game.
I am thinking something like…
SPR because almost all my skills use it and DEX to hit
as i said at first
“no stat mix except con”
and what i just said
if u don’t pick proper rank8, you’ll do 0 damage
Ask yourself this, what support are you providing as a paladin exactly?
- [restoration] - nobody uses this for the HP regen
- [resist elements] - is there for the 40% chance to not take fire, ice, lightning, earth, poison property resist.
- [barrier] - is primarily used for the knock back - the mdef is nice IF you have a lot of SPR (not really a good stat NOW)
The best support is invulnerability, then mitigation, then healing, then damage.
As for class building, it is a general rule to not take lower ranks at higher ranks.
That said, you are better off making a monk - inquisitor at r7 and 8 for the damage as damage is better than rng support.
