Yeah this is too. So it will be reasonable to think STR better for late game.
Full dex or Full str are pretty bad in any way comparing to mixed str/dex(Damage wise), with full str being better if you want more HP, bc itās more suitable to go with low CON comparing to low DEX.
I myself am going for something like 1str:1dex and Ican tell itās worth it damage-wise everytime I crit comparing to the amount of STR Iād have otherwise.
Hmm got it, thanks, no change to my original plan then.
Ok INT cleric hehe, understood now.
Yesits boring until you get monk2ā¦ But priest is more boring than diev in a str/dex build to get monk.
As cleric2/diev2 in party, I set up my statues, I heal everyone, I use safety for the tank or even for my owl whenwe are hitting the boss, I use fade so we can go to some clean or just if we need to move out from mobs. And as monk2, I use energy blast at the same time as my owls are hitting. I think its funnier than priest way, but priest has better support skills than diev I thinkā¦
About str/dex. I amactually 1/1 too, but I wasnt sure if I should make one of those stats grows more than the another. Besides, I dont have dex bonus as priest has from skillsā¦
Actually 99% of the time we donāt have time to cast Monstrance 
too busy with managing the other skills, too short duration, not enough memorable hotkeys, might go over buff limit if we have other buffers etc.
Same thing with lv1 aspersion.
It does sound funnier. The priestās way is more traditional, and we have to keep a much closer watch on our party. Canāt just leave heal tiles and go off on our own 
Thatās why Iām always happy with a second cleric in party~
You are right, only 20 seconds, I forgot that, and the buff limits too, maybe its not so bad my char hehe.
Anyway If I would make a new char, I would go C2/priest2/monk3, I think it could be a very nice combination
Iāve seen it argued for to in this forum.
Iāve never actually dungeoned with one though. It may be interesting.
Though usually C2/P2 will actually forget their priest stuff and more interested in dropping heal tiles and punching.
P3 players tend to focus more on their party just because of the nature of their tasks and thatās all they can do.
I mean Iāve often see Chaplains who never cast blessing, or their blessing is likeā¦ +43 at lv130?
Thatās the bad nature of dual duty clerics, and for some reason Priest3/Monks that Iāve seen are the ones who never encountered that issue for some reason.
Complete bias because again, Iāve never seen Cleric2 Monks in game, and the non-Monk Cleric2s that I dungeoned with havenāt been useful, and only half of the Cleric2/Priest2 actually can optimize their skills as Priest instead of dropping heal tiles and sitting back staring at party.
Haha sit down back staring at party!
Well, that is why I like monk, I am supporting the party, and when nobody needs me, I hit the mobs, its not great hits, buy its nice, and owls/energy blast help
Yeah I really canāt wait for energy blast.
Sure it might push back all the mobs.
But when your party is down to 40% hp and your heal is on cooldownā¦ Iād love to smack those mobs out of the way for a few seconds.
Haha true, anyway when I told about monstrance, I meant to use it as solo playing, to be hitting crits.
Half of the time I donāt even use blessing to solo play because of the duration and holy powder The time it takes for a Priest/Monk to deal with a single mob patch can be the duration of monstrance or longer 
Isnāt thereās an attribute to remove the knockback on Energy Blast?
Thereās one attribute that helps you not get knocked down, but I donāt think knocking down the enemy is removable
Someone have to tell me how it exactly works though.
But I was pointing out a case where I want them to be knocked down 
True, I have to try that too
Just wanted to drop by and say this.
Stoneskin without SPR is useless at max levels.
Peoples that think otherwise have yet to see how little impact it does in content like Earth Tower and such.
Even in PVP, if you face real geared peoples, you will see how useless it is.
At max level currently about 100 SPR is needed to make Stoneskin viable both in PVE/PVP.
Which is why Chaplin is very good to support at high level except they lack the DPS. 1SPR/1CON is extremely efficient for a Stoneskin oriented build.
Monk on the other hand only get to enjoy Stoneskin benefits until about 230+ then it will start to drastically fall off. Not to mention once they raise the level cap it will fall off even harder and harder.
Anyway, I donāt think monk ever needed C3 Priest except for PVP purpose against under geared peoples. Because thatās what make C3 Priest OP in PVP atm in KTOS.
@bokunokan
Donāt bother.
Iāve said that in many topics now and they just donāt care.
Maybe they have to live it to see it.
Or maybe they just think itās worth loosing attack power for Stone Skin use in PvP.
Either way if they havenāt accepted the truth itās not because of lack of information, just stubbornness
@piterisonfire
There is. The attribute makes Energy Blast not knock back the mobs.
The attribute linked makes so you can change direction of the beam while releasing it. So in PvP you can try to catch someone dodging it. To use it hold Alt key, if that doesnāt work try Ctrl.
PvP ( watch 0.44s):
Yeah I think we accepted that shortcoming.
Though when Iām at 230+ Iād have more things to worry about I think
If I have to wait until lv230 until my build can be more useful to parties I think Iād rather not play it, even as a Monk geared towards soloing.
At that level my role as secondary cleric will pretty much be more established.
Yes, you have to worry that 230+ you loose the only reason you chose Priest3.
What build needs to wait lv230 to be useful? Enlighten me.

[/quote]Amazing ideal builds that actually have idiots running around using it and not being helpful?
Why are you so against Priest3?
Do you have a serious hatred towards one mortal enemy that you donāt want to ever see his kind ever around again?
I mean, we can play what we want, thatās the charm of this game right?
We donāt have to be copycats of each other and have idiots running around with the same build that ruins the good name of the person who made that build amazing in the first place.
Empty response with insult, way to go buddy!
Keep it up!
Bye.
Edit:
Not at all! Iāve already said if people are happy with it so be it!
Everyday some new monk guide come claiming Priest3 is the best and only option, without even mentioning others.
I just feel obliged to inform other options.
