Returning player advice

Class and Rank Cleric
#1

Hi all im returning after about 6 months off and wanted to re-roll a cleric.
i wanted to do a dps and support cleric which can solo fine and also be able to support in a group and dps some if needed
I will be soloing most of the time and maybe small group of friends on and off.
i looked at a few builds and couldnt decide which one offered what i was after best since i have not played the game in a while.

C 3 - Kr 3 - Miko 1 - Tao 1 : looked really nice and that was what i was thinking of firstly but i read that Kri got nerfed alot for zaibas but also that its now more gear reliant ?, Plus it looks likes its only Dps would be Zaibas and Hamaya ? would that be fine to solo with considering the long CDs ? i know melstis and daino are both highly regarded buffs. also read C3 isnt worth taking ? but wouldnt more points in divine might help your spells hit harder ? plus better heal ? and if not C3 what could be used instead for 1 Rank ?

C 2 - Diev 3 - Miko 1 - PD 2 : this one i think is the most comon ive seen mentioned ? i can see why with the support from diev and dps from PD and ive always liked the look of PD. but being stationed to one area for 30 sec or more for owl, im just not sure how good this plays out ? is this the kind of play where you set up your statues and then run around the map bringing everything to them ? do you concentrate on your owl ? or is this a drop and forgret thing ?

C 2 - Bo 3 - Miko 1 - PD 2 : This one seems more fluent then the others with effigy spaming and spreading. but it also seems more dps focused with not much support ? can you spread your hexing with pandamic ? to cause effigy to do crazy AoE ? this build also seems much more mobile then the others as well ?

C 2 - P 3 - chap 1 - Miko 1 - ??? : Not sure about this build but i read that chap and miko go well together. not sure if this would provide enough dps to solo content efficently or not ? also not sure what to do for rank 8.

with all these builds as i said being able to solo most content in a decent manner ( since i know almost any thing could solo given enough time )

Thoughts from people who know these builds well would be great thanks as im almost there i just need a little re assurance i guess regarding them since i dont want to start then find out something dosnt work right anymore.

That often ends with Inquisitor. Not that much synergy actually between Chap and Miko afaik. But there is synergy between Miko and Inquisitor (Kagura-Wheel) and Chap and Inquisitor (AAs reflected through wheel).

Intresting.

When thinking and looking over more of the cleric builds i think i really want to build with Miko and Tao

if i do decide to go that way, what other classes could work well apart from Krivis ?

could sadhu or Diev have synergy with Miko and Tao ?

It’s not that Cleric 3 truly isn’t worth taking because, as you said, you get a longer Divine Might and Heal 15. It is just that Cleric 2 is totally effective enough to support so it’s better to take another class that will bring more utility.
Yes, Krivis got hit hard… To start with it’s true that it has a 30s cd so while it’s not too much, when it’s one of your maink skills it’s quite a lot. But now Zaibas’ damages is bad too. Note that Hamaya also got nerfed~ (It’s not terrible, but not as good as it used to be).

You won’t use your Owls to deal damages. Your Owls will be for specific situations most of the time (when your party has to stay rather static and you need to defend, when the mobs are grouped and dying slowly, etc.).
Diev 3 - Miko 1 - PD 2, you’ll mostly deal damages with Miko and PD skills. Your Diev 3 skills will be useful and add great support (to protect the party and support DPS).

I believe you can spread it. Since the cooldowns are shorter, it should be more mobile, yup. But I’ve never tried it so I don’t know how good it works out in the field.
You won’t be a full support, I suppose, but you’ll still be a good support since you’ll have Cleric 2, PD’s Healing Factor and ways to protect/cure from negative status ailments.

Chaplain and Miko aren’t amazing together, but they’re not bad either since Miko can increase Chaplain’s Deploy Capella.
For R8 your best choice would be Inquisitor as it has synergy with both Chaplain and Miko (Miko’s Kagura increases Inquisitor’s wheels damages, and Chaplain and Inquisitor are both melee attackers).
If you go heavy on SPR (or even full), yes, you’d have good DPS to solo.

I wouldn’t recommend Diev 3 - Miko - Taoist I think. Because it’d be quite static which could be annoying in the long run. I have a Diev 3 - Miko and I know that after the Owls change, if you don’t have some R7-R8 class to add damages it gets pretty tiring because of how static you are and the cooldowns (Hamaya’s an aoe so it’s static too).

While I said that Inquisitor has the best synergy if you go Chaplain-Miko, you can take Taoist too.

Sadhu is fine with Taoist, but Miko and Sadhu are rather unrelated. Then again, Miko’s attacks still scale with INT like Sadhu so while there’s no particular synergy/good combo between these two, you can go with it.

Thank you so much for such a detailed reply it really helps.

you gave me lots to think about and im glad.

Chap - miko - inq does sound intresting but id like to ask about what you said

Chap - Miko - Tao ? how would this work out ?

also can you use kagura while in OoB ? but not sure if that would work in any builds though.

I had a similar decision to make a cpl of weeks ago. I took c2-p3-chap1-pd2. Worth it. Healing factor is overpowered, aoe to farm stuff from pd beats inq aoe range and u dont have to spend 1k each wheel.
had to drop miko, not worth, both miko and diev were nerfed harf (enough to be fair now).
