Preliminary beginners guide to Clerics

yeah clerics are much more offensive than RO and they actually do better than other classes for bosses because while others need to dodge the attacks, cleric can just sit in safety wall and continuously deal damage. Furthermore they don’t have downtime because they can heal themselves.

You do know that Heal and Cure can be used as offensive spells right? With a little strategy (attracting a large mob before using Heal, etc), the grind won’t be as bad. You’ll only struggle against flying enemies.

Back then in the days of Demon Prison 2 heal bombing was by far the fastest way for me to clear those enemies that were weak to Holy. And with Cleric C2 Heal only gets better as a grinding skill.

This build is good for high lvls? BUILD SUPORT HERE

Are you recomend krivis 1 for this build? and i get daino/zalcai and zaibas.

Or i replace krivis for cleric?

I would personally recommend a cleric|priest3|Chaplain|Cleric2|PlagueDoctor route.

But krivis can work, though it’s more of a pvp focused full support build. Really not ideal for dungeons as you can just use daino scrolls there and benefit of build capella for the permanent block.

@denis.oblov Really? I had looked up guides as well as asked others concerning the experience of Cleric C1 to C2 and they really didn’t recommend it because it made the grind much harder.

@Altariel Yep! I did know that. But from what I heard, they weren’t enough to suffice going through C1 and C2 without making the game incredibly dull on the fun side.

@12ahl3 Thanks for that input. Well, I’ll check it out. Hopefully I need not have to invest in STR nor take up a DPS class like Krivis to make things run smoother.

@jr_batenga
That was boring and i suppose not that fast, but it was not hard for sure
Just heal/cure all the things except flying monsters, but there was not that much of them
But I can’t see any point to go for Cleric C2 on C2, you can get priest or krivis
take Cleric C2 only if you have constant party that need more heals, can’t see why do you need on any other way

All right @denis.oblov, thank you very much for the input. I’ll keep this in mind as I level my Cleric :slight_smile:

I’m thinking about the [Int] Cleric2 | Dievdirbys3 | Druid | Plague Doctor
build and I’m wondering if it will be viable late game? And i Have one more question, how should I allocate my stat points? I understand that i should focus on Int, but I have not played the beta so I don’t understand how to build a proper character 100%. Any help will be appreciated.

Should be fine for now, as long as we don’t get a massive difficulty spike with future content.

Statwise you’ll want:

  • A minumum of Con, around 50 at lvl 200 or a 4int:1con ratio ish.
  • Perhaps some spr if you run into sp issues, you can use potions though to combat that.
  • Rest into int.

Can Dievdirbys statues be destroyed at pvp?

Yes, the statues have health bars and can be destroyed.
Owls are the most resilient statues, the others are quite weak and fall easily when under focus fire. ( Not considering Quarrel Shooters Teardown Attribute. )

Very hard to use Dievdirbys at PvP then =/ I’ve been reading many threads here and I’m trying to make a good PvE/PvP Plague Doctor build, so far I have:

Cleric - Priest C3 - Cleric C2 - Druid C1 - Plague Doctor

Cleric C2 - Dievdirby C3 - Druid - Plague Doctor

I like the Druid for the damage and mind control.

I will have a Krivis+Pardoner available for Daino scrolls, so I don’t need Krivis for PvE.

The Priest build has Mass Heal, Stone Skin and Revive, but the Dievdirby build has -20% cooldown, Silence (very good) and even 18sec immune to damage (magic damage included I think, correct me if I’m wrong).

I was going for the Dievdirby build but the fact that statues can be kind of easily destroyed at PvP made me think again =/ Not sure anymore.

I don’t know anymore what type of build to choose. I want to be able to help as much as I can late game. Can anyone help me and maybe suggest what would be the best for me? I want to run a support cleric with the most helping capabilities late game in dungeons etc. I will not be focusing on pvp very much especially with this character, maybe later on I will create an additional character solely for that but now i want to exprecience as much content as I can and in most MMOs it’s the support role.

I’d say look up chaplain, paladin or dievdirby. But paladin is pretty much useless in pvp.

i was glancing through the game mechanics guide - https://github.com/vyne1/tos-mechanics - when I got to the block section:

Level 5 stoneskin is 400 block rate. So it turns out… 0 SPR stoneskin will scale just fine since block rate scales with level. Just wanted to correct you because you made it sound like stoneskin would fall off without a spirit investment.

It’s outdated anyway. No info about correct block formula.

Stone skin gives direct x amount of block though, not “block rate”.

Block rate is the stat on shields, which currently ranges from 1-2 iirc.
Still it does slightly scale with lvl if you use a shield, but that 0.03 multiplier does it no favors.

Block penetration scales quite decently with lvl though.

Got a source on this?

There are some facts about block:
1)Block formula is currently unknown.
2)Block rate on shields is forcefully capped at 1. Meaning, even if shield has 2 or 3 block rate it would be set to 1 in game.
3)Formula in this file is incorrect. I’ve seen videos from kToS with some testing and it clearly doesn’t fit into this formula. P.S. And yeah, I don’t have videos right now.

But you can ask random peltasta user from kToS for confirmation.

If you think so, Gl Hf! See you in 4 days!
