Quick question, in terms of physical dps which cleric class would be better to specialize in?
(I understand they both kind of serve different purposes)
Only asking because making a new physical cleric due to the rework and I read that both pally and monk were in a decent spot.
I know its all opinion based, but in terms of dps and being useful in a team scenario which of the two would recommend? And which classes do you think will complement its dps? (thanks to all who reply)
I think Paladin combo with Inquisitor (conviction+god smash) has more burst thank Monk
but for sustained DPS, monk wins cos of no cooldown on double punch
Monk
Double Punch >> Smite
God Flick+Hand Knife >> Conviction
However paladin offer more than dps
Restoration make heal give twice health (but scrollable)
turn undead is good and works with joint penalty, havent tested on circling
conversion for the lulz
and the OH GODDAM BARRIER WE MISS YOU
Monk has 3 main debuffs: Double Punch, God Finger Flick and Hand Knife.
With all of those on the mob you get more than twice your original God Smash damage, wich is much more than what you’d get with Conviction.
In terms of DPS: Monk.
In terms of being useful in a team: Paladin.
Paladin is just more versatile since they can increase the healing and protect with the Barrier. They can also increase the party’s resistance, lower enemies’ MDEF as well as their elemental resistance (twice, with Resist Elements and Conviction) while increasing the party elemental damages.
But Paladin needs Inquisitor imo to really be worth it DPS wise at higher levels.
For Monk is Cleric 1 Priest 3 Monk 3 Inquis the way to go?
Or is like Cleric 2 priest 2 monk 2 kabbalist inquis better?
(just throwing 2 random builds out there) no clue on right build path. Also, is it 50/50 dex/str or is a certain stat superior
It all depends. Both those builds are good.
You can also do c2 priest diev monk3 inq
Or c3 diev monk3 inq
C2 diev2 monk3 inq
There are a lot of builds. Dyring the tests i ran about every possible combination of monk3 inq and monk2 pd inq
The one thing i would say is this: cleric 2 is MONDATORY if you do not take it, you will regret.
I run cleric 3 diev1 monk3 inq now, since it fits my play style.
About str and dex: if you got 4k pure patk, go for more dex, otherwise focus on str
I do like PVP as well, I was contemplating trying like C2 Diev 2 monk 2 kabbal 1 inq. However, idk if dropping monk 3 for kabbalist is worth it :x
for pvp, perhaps, it does. I would not do it personally, but I see people with that build quite often
the beauty of monk3 is level 10 god finger flick… it is really nice ranged nuke
diev path is better than priest path
priest have nothing more than rez and weak buff
diev provide u plant attribute, decent pierce attack skill, great statue (just ignore owl)
What about Diev C1 + Paladin C1 instead of Diev C2? I’m not confident that Diev C2 is a good pick without abusing Owls…
i go owl lv0, carve attack lv10, laima+zemyna lv7,
paladin c1 is bad
u can go cleric3+diev1 if u prefer more heal/safety/fade/divine might
