Priest Buff-- how does it apply?

Hi all,

Just wondering whether or not the priest buff-- specifically Blessing and Sacrament, applies to more than just auto attacks? And if so, I assume it’s just physical skills. I’m thinking of building a Monk with Priest3 and was wondering if Blessing and Sacrament will apply to skills like Double Punch and Energy Blast.

If there’s anyone that already tested, any info would help! :smile:

Sacrament just adds weak secondary hit to your auto attack. Blessing buffs everything. It affects the damage my Heal and Cure do to monsters as well as my Smite from Paladin. Since everything monk does is physical - strike damage Blessing will play a major part. I am not sure how Sacrament will work with Double Punch though since I am not yet a Monk.

EDIT: Blessing also affects Sacrament. So if you max out Blessing’s attribute for + Damage it can make even a rank 1 Sacrament do a decent amount of damage. Sacrament’s weak hit is also holy damage so it helps on ghosts and demons.

Thanks for the clarification, I really appreciate it =)

But on tool tip it says for Blessing it adds 70 additional damage for level 15 Blessing. While Sacrament at level 10 adds 40 Holy attack and 40 additional damage. Is the additional damage different from Blessing and Sacrament? I was hoping it would add 70+40 = 110. Or does it mean something different?

How Sacrament works is that it adds its non holy damage to your auto attacks. Then its holy damage component is a separate auto attack that only deals that 40 + your magic attack (I think, I might be wrong on this point). Blessing adds to both of these. If you gain another attack from Enchant Fire from a Pyromancer, Blessing will add to that as well.

The next important factor to look at is the attributes. Sacrament only has one that increases your dark resistance while active. Blessing however has one that adds +2 to blessing damage per attribute level. Max that and you gain another 100 damage on Blessing. Suddenly Blessing seems much more attractive.

Basically it means when you swing an auto attack once with Blessing and Sacrament up you gain the damage of Blessing twice.

Just like Slots said - you will gain way more than 70+40. Sacrament adds 40 to your normal attack and 40 holy damage (which is further increased?). Blessing applies to both of those hits. So you get at least 40+70+40+70 = 220 damage for each auto attack. This is discounting the attribute, which actually adds even more damage than base skill (+100 for each hit when maxed, so +200 per attack with Sacrament).
