Is this a decent build, in regards to skill allocation?
Build is: Cleric 2 -> Priest 3 -> Chap -> Kabbalist 2
Skill allocation: http://www.tosbase.com/tools/skill-simulator/build/4eboqa1dz5/
(I’m really just looking for a good Kabbalist 2 build without Sadhu)
If you’re not too attached to cleric 2, you can take Oracle.
If you dont mind on lvling and soloing so much. You can replace chap into oracle. No damage but better support with prophecy and counterspell to negate magic damage and status ailments. Or else you can replace with miko for hamaya and gohei. Alternative damage for lvling and fast cure with gohei. Still lack damage than chaplain tho.
I was thinking about that as well but I almost feel like Cleric 2 is a necessity for almost all cleric builds and I definitely don’t want to drop chaplain, if I’m going priest 3.
i suggest taking 2 points from exorcise, 1 point from stone skin and put them on revive…
depends on playstyle, we only really need 3 points (+1 with divine might) on exorcise for magnus combo… and lv 1 stone skin takes up a buff slot for just 10% damage reduction on selected physical attacks…
also take 1 point from last rites and put it on magnus…
I hate to say this but if you’re looking for a pvm build Kabba 2 is actually a terrible choice.
Kabba 2 is not a good support nor a good dps class for pvm. By picking Kabba 2 you’re wasting other very good class choices (PD 2, Inquisitor and Taoist) that are much more efficient in pvm. Kabba doesn’t bring enough utility to make up for the loss of these classes.
If you really want to build a Kabba 2, Chaplain is an ok choice. But the true reason for that is because Chaplain is an independent class balanced with decent support and dps which patches up the loss of dps you’re having by going Kabba 2.
Chaplain has nearly zero synergy with Kabbalist: Ein Sof SP recovery doesn’t help a SPR build at all, Double Chance won’t be good without high % skill factor single hit skills (Chaplain has none), Cloned mobs will vanish often seeing Chaplain isn’t the best burst class to kill cloned mobs quickly (Chaplain has no burst).
The only thing that almost synergizes with Chaplain is the fact Chaps need to sustain a lot of damage by going auto-atk and Ein Sof (without SP attribute) can make you sturdy for a while, making it easy to take hits while auto-atking mobs. It’s nowhere near essential though seeing you’re a cleric and you can always stop attacking and heal yourself (but it’s convenient).
Truth be told, nothing really synergizes well with Kabba 2. It’s just a terrible class as it is now. Sadhu 3 Kabba 2 is only good on paper, but you’ll never be able to pull out Astral Body Explosion + Double Chance combo in any party. The other “synergies” are simply Sadhu skills alone holding out for the rest of your build (like Chaplain).
Merkabah may seem like good dps skill in paper but it’s mechanics suck (cast time, wheel positioning) and you’ll have to pick between defensive Merkabah and offensive Merkabah when both are super lackluster. Revenged Sevenfold will become worse as you get better geared (more defense = less redirected damage) and you can’t increase it’s damage by transcending your weapon unlike other skills. Reduce Level is awful and Clone has too much cooldown to be that effective in party grinding.
I’d also like to mention Merkabah’s Divine Protection attribute is bugged atm and it’ll often go out even when you’re standing right next to the wheels. The reason for that is because due to bad programming the buff will deactivate itself whenever you enter two wheels intersection area.
I only have cleric 1 on my chaplain Oracle3. Unfortunately, I forgot to reset back to kabba2 before reset ended. Kabalist wasn’t wonderful, but it was fun and I think kabba3 will be a summon class. Well, I can dream! If so, then kabba3 will synergize well with SPR. Of course, this is all speculation.
taken point by master wurmheart, Right now spr priest chaplain is too good to be true. You can take rank 7 and 8 with anything and can still get away from it.
Be it supportive or self dps, they are now balanced.
So yeah, It’s more to supportive style but can still dps for yourself.
Is cleric 1 -> priest 3 -> chap -> Monk 3 a possible build? OR would cleric 2 -> priest 3 -> chap -> kabba 2 still be better?
Do you need strength as a monk? You probably want to be full SPR if you’re taking chaplain. So I’m kind of leaning towards the kabalist build. Sorry I don’t have a monk, so I really can’t give you accurate info on that class.
It’s bad. Chaplain rely on aspergillium buff to AA. while Monk spam double punch.
Stat wise also not good. Chaplain is either INT or SPR while monk is DEX or STR
Edit: chaplain can also dex but as I said, you either AA or spam double punch so it’s bad
This is better. But You have no use for ein sof for yourself as chaplain rarely runs out of SP. but other than that is ok. See reply from post above
That’s not really true. Aside from the Ein Sof HP increase and Healing increase through the attribute, you also get a wonderful synergy of Merkabah : Divine Protection attribute and your autoattacks.
Basically you get one additional autoattack line based on your atk (10%) + all factiors enhancing it (e.g. Blessing, Elemental damage).
You will also have a chance to block magic attacks and with the magic defence increement attribute you can further reduce incoming magic damage.
With the recent changes, Merkabah even had a CD time reduction from 45 seconds to 35 seconds(currently only KTest afaik) while the effect is available for ± 20-22 seconds (time until all 6 chariots exploded) with the slow movement attribute, so you have ± 50% of possible uptime, while the chariots also draw aggro for you, letting you ignore the aggrolimit.
What I don’t know is if Aspergillum recieves an additional line, since normally all skills cast are affected by Merkabahs Divine Protection attribute, so if Aspergillum counts as casting Aspersion, you might even get another line on top.
With Exorcise and Merkabah having a similar CD time(in the future), you have another synergetic option there for more damage output.
Sadhu and Kabbalist also have synergy, as you recieve a hidden amplification of OOB autoattacks via Double Chance and a doubled recovery rate on Praktiris HP recovery attribute (increasing the base value from 15% to 30% of your HP; this attribute is also affected by your increased recovery value through CON).
As Sadhus skills are also affected by the Divine Protection attribute, you will get another damage line on top of your Possession, which is pretty neat, especially if your atk isn’t that high and you got lots of additional damage (e.g. Blessing, Sacrament, other elemental damage[not tested if magic amplification affects the damage,too]).
Sadly, OOB autoattacks are not affected by Merkabah 
What I can’t test is if Sadhus Transmit Prana actually affects the bonus damage from Divine Protection, simply because I don’t have Sadhu C3 and Kabbalist C2 on the same character.
All in all Kabbalist is not so bad, it’s just lacking damage because the devs simply don’t want to increase the damage of the skill <_< ( I don’t understand the unfair mentality of having such a low multiplier that adds up to only 2700%; Let’s hope C3 gets an attribute to boost the overall damage).
The lacking synergy is currently only affecting a few Classes, but it has enough synergy for mixed builds.
Kabbalist C3 is still far away and unbeknownst to us (we get the impression from the datamined new attributes,though,that it won’t be so bad with multiple Ein Sof instances and Nahash to deal damage, curse and/or petrify enemies), so it’s hard to judge if Kabbalist C2 is really that bad of an option or not.
Sorry but these aren’t really synergies, you’re just talking about the skill effects themselves. Merkabah attribute is buggy and sometimes the buff disappears even when you’re right next to it. The block isn’t reliable and the +10% damage is pretty marginal when compared to a Black Death or Breaking Wheel you could instead have.
Merkabah may last ~15 seconds (I wouldn’t say 22 sec, I think that’s overestimating it), but it’s still a nuisance to move around with it, especially if you’re a chaplain with melee-range trying to auto atk things that are running around and attacking other wheels aside from yourself. Hit Healing Factor 10 and poof you’re immortal to auto atk anything even while naked standing still (with more than 100% uptime, too!).
And honestly I prefer Safety Zone much more than Merkabah’s immunity (guaranteed block, against all attacks without moving around).
Chaplain’s auto atks and Sadhu’s OOB are also pretty laughable damage if you consider end game content like ET. It can help you level, yes, but you’ll be pretty weak later on compared to other rank 8 options… I’m also going to say nobody will want you to go up ET if you’re a kabbalist 2…
I never really used Praktiri for healing myself… I mean, I’m a cleric… Going into OOB at low hp is risky enough. Healing myself is just easier.
priest have no synergy with kabba2
priest3 kabba2 only build for clone mob(or max r7 for pvp)
if u use full potential of chaplain kit, get inquisitor at r8
Praktiri is the easiest and cheapest way to recover HP in combination with Ein Sof.
Depending on your CON and Max HP, you are able to recover around 50-150k HP this way. Sure, you can try and recover it with your Heal, but since your Heal amount is only affected by your max HP (fixed 5%) and 2-3x your INT+SPR, there’s a limit on how many HP you can recover per Heal tile.
Praktiris HP recovery attribute is further affected(aside from Ein Sofs attribute) by the potion recovery bonus of CON, allowing you to recover 30-80% of your max HP every 9 seconds for only a few SP, leaving your Heal for damage purposes.
With Ein Sof active, you don’t really need to fear getting killed by monsters, as hits of 600-2600 damage will only scrape off a little of your total HP (around 60-120k, dpending on your equipment,CON,SP recovery attribute and Ein Sof level).
There’s also the Fade-option to hide, use OOB and Praktiri, if the HP get too low…
