Rank 4 [help] - Krivis1 , Priest 1 or Diev 1, what to choose on this eccentric build?

Hi,
After tens of rerolls I’m starting to have an idea of what build to play.
I already have a:
Cleric 3 > Krivis > Druid > MOnk > Plague Doctor > Inquisitor (yes was a good char for testing)
Also I already had Diev and I still have a Priest C3. So I know more or less how things works on this classes

The new build will be:

Full INT:
Cleric 3> Rank 4 (your opinion)> Paladin (for the cloth) > Druid > Plague Doctor C2

Before you ask, I will not change other classes beyond rank 4. I had enogh of META, I really like the gameplay of this build.

While I dont will take paladin on Rank 4 for personal reasons (dont ask me why), I want to know which of these 3 classes could be more useful on rank 4 and why:

  • Krivis:
    • Zaibas => One more area attack. But is really worth it at circle 1 only? It appeared so weak, and is very easy to miss the target (mob need to walk tough it).
    • Zalciai => (The Blue Aura) Increases the magic amplification for a period of time (more or less 50 seconds). But does Magic amplification give a real big ammount of damage this days? Pavaisa shield also have magic amplification and dont appear worth it in anything.
  • Priest:
    • Ressurrection => The whole point of going only Priest 1. But does Ressurrection is really used on later game?
    • Monstrance => Good for Incineration and Buff Dex of allies, but take lot of time to cast.
  • Diev:
    • Statue Laima => Can be used for incineration, reduce the time of countdown of skills and make normal mobs slower.
    • Statue Vakarine => Useful teleport in case I decide to make quests (I dont do quests for a long time).

Any info about this classes will be great. Specially about Laima and Plague Doctor that I’m not sure about the benefits.

I dont put Carve Attack on the equation because as a build Full INT dont appear worth explore this attack, but who knows? I never tested to know if do great damage. I now Druid carnivory make some mobs inside become plant type, what increases the damage of carve attack, but I did a Diev on the beggining of the game, and so much things could be changed by now.


Sorry for the arrogance, but if you want to tell how bad is this build, save your breath (or should I say “Finger’s energy”), I made my mind about the other classes, so don’t bother.

Laima now works with all skills (it used to not reduce cooldown of certain skills like Healing Factor).

Diev is your best pick because of diev + druid combo for +20% damage with mace, cooldown reduction and big AoE debuff from Laima used for PD’s Incinierate (much better & easier than monstrance).

why take paladin just for the costume? i would take pardoner or something instead

@mrshadowccg Yes I was thinking the same thing. But to be honest I’m completely noob about Dievdirbys, that is why I tought ask here in the foruns would be the best choice. So it appear I was right.

Really thanks for the info, any info help me a lot.:thumbsup:


@BeMagnificentt I’m extremelly superficial, so yes. I like to play with what I like instead what is more effective. If not I could just do:
Cleric 2 - Priest 3 - Chaplain - PD2
or
Cleric 2 - Diev 3 - Miko - PD 2
as everybody does. And easily reach the cap damage.
But as I told, with this build below with no sinergy whatsoever, I still manage to go better than most part of members of the party, because in the end the Gears count too.I’m aware I still will be far behind other META builds. But with Cleric 3 I will always be useful anyway.

Just wondering tho, why don’t you buy a Paladin Master costume? It’s exactly like the paladin class costume but black. And you don’t have to be paladin to wear it.

I’ve had experience with both Priest and Diev and, in my opinion, it’s a close tie between Priest and Diev.

Priests have the skills: resurrection and blessing. However, as you said, you’re an INT build, therefore your blessing damage will be on the low side.

Diev has some great buffs and debuffs from the statues. However they are stationary and they take a while to cooldown.

I’d prefer going Diev from my experience with both classes.

Also, you don’t have to worry about the Diev playstyle. You just drop a statue in the middle of your party whenever there is a huge mob or during a boss fight. Don’t forget your party and the mobs move around so you’ll have to be versatile with your placement. Also, your statues can get knocked back (especially by bosses). I personally found out that if you planted a statue “inside” a boss their knock backs would not affect the statues. I’m not sure if this technique still works though. Haven’t touched my Diev since I started playing again.

Wrong,…

Diev is best option cause of free warp :sunglasses:

Ok I lied, its not Paladin but Monk. I love monk costume. I just dont wanted people trying to get sinergy on this build, considering rank 5, because is really just for the Costume.

I always try to work around monk. Tried Monk c3, Doctor Monk Inquisitor, Chaplain Monk.
I love it.

I probably wouldn’t go krivis for zaibas and zalciai, even level 15 zaibas can feel underwhelming and zalciai for 48 magic amp is really meh, aukarus is nice as it has an aoe debuff like Laima and zalciai adds another debuff for incineration.Also, Daino is almost always useful.

Resurrection’s usefulness really depends on how good the party is rather than the same of the content (PVE at least). All I remember about monstrance is a higher skill level takes longer to cast and each level lets you debuff an additional target (is they step onto the circle).

Diev statues are all nice, diev druid is basically multiplying your damage by 1.2 on all enemies.

Thanks!! I made my mind. I’m going Diev! Thank you!

Yep, monstrance above lv 10 take ages to be casted. A char without Healing Factor can easily die casting this skill close to strong mobs or bosses, since you can’t move until it finish.( i tested it lv 15 on Rank Reset Event).

Daino is good, but it exist on Skill Scroll and beyond Healing Factor, Revive and Blessing (after blessing from buff shop is over, I dont care much about other buffs).

Well thanks again.

You also can’t spread monstrance with Pandemic, so you’d have to rely on enemies walking into those random zones after casting. It’s really just not worth it as a tool for fueling Incinerate.

just take paladin3

u can spread conviction with pandemic

drop your rank4 and druid c1
