Hi guys
So, i’m a PVE player returning to TOS after 9 months but i’m currently stuck thinking what class I should play.
I’ve already search this reddit and the forums and the answer is always the same thing. SR3, WL2, Doppel 3, PD2.
There’s no other class who shines on PVE? I’m looking to a class who can solo content like Castle Dungeon and with a good performance on ET. I don’t really care for PVP at all.
Ty everyone for help.
Requires strong AoE, and easy effective skills.
Currently
Do it all build - AoE dps, heal, buffs, CC
Cleric top: Cleric2 > diev3 > miko > doctor 2 (dievdoctor build).
DPS sustained AoE
Swordie top: doppel3 builds (highlander1 barb3 or high3 barb1 or sword3 high1 barb1 versions), fencer builds (sword3 pelt cor version or any other version).
Archer: Archer2 > ranger3 > reiter3 build.
Wizard: pyro2/3 > whatever > sage builds (pyro3 link3, pyro2 link2 thauma2, wiz3 pyro3, …) with agny necklace.
Support for ET
Cleric: anything+Krivis3 build. Combine with diev3 build you have the immortal combo for all content (ausrine + melstis).
Wizard: cryo3 > chrono3 > sage or x > linker2 > chrono3 > sage. Chrono3 is key.
How’s Mergen for PVE right now? There’s some sustainable path for it? And to compare PVE classes, who’s most viable to solo and AOE, WL2, Doppel 3 or Fletcher/Mergen?
The same question for inquisitor. There’s some path with a sustainable AOE damage on PVE?
Fletcher3 mergen is a single-target bossing class.
Warlock2 AoE is not great, also prefer low-medium targets. If you pick wiz3 > elemen3 > warlock2, you will rely most on elementalist AoE ability.
Doppel3 is strong AoE.
Inquisitor is a burst class.
How viable is sw3 -> -> dop? is there a huge difference between barb3 and hl3 variants?
Yes.
SW3 is pain barrier buff vs knock attacks.
If you need more damage, pick barbarian3 or high3 version.
I meant to ask if i’d be losing significant damage by just getting hl1 and barb1. I’ve noticed that it’s difficult to go melee class at higher levels with the annoying knockbacks and CC effects from mobs.
pure pve btw.
I understand.
This will depend on your playstyle and positioning.
Even if you won’t take sword3, you will still have pain barrier 5 because you have sword1.
Highlander and barb are c1 or c3.
Barb 1 for cleave debuff & buff. Barb3 for stronger buffs, filler skills.
High1 for passive +50% crit attack character stat (great for yellow gems). High3 for skull swing and more filler skills.
