[RIP] Priest 3 SPR builds?

Class and Rank Cleric
#1

Anyone else see this?

Stone skin nerfed almost to the ground in ktos… I guess we can only pray we don’t get the same thing in a few weeks’ time?

Cleric
Heal
Heal Tile Circle Duration will expire after 10 seconds. ( Previously 40 Seconds )

Priest
Stone Skin
The block rate scaling has been decreased to [SPR x 0.5] ( Previously [SPR x 4])

I mean… yeah it’s still better than nothing but… Why they hate us so much ._.

Edit: It’s for PVP/Team Battle only, so it only sucks for those of us that wanted to PVP with the build.

It is only for pvp. Calm your tits.

Wow, looks like i wasted my time going P3 -> monk. Priest 3 is no where as good as C2 in PVE and now they take away PVP as well, the only advantage P3 has over C2.

#4

Still fine, will be around 50% block addition with 100 or so spirit as long as you max the skill.

It was brokenly powerful, now it is just strong.

#5

Agree it was too strong before, but disagree with the way they changed SPR scaling which really hurts for people who relied on it for their build path :frowning:

I definitely wouldn’t have gone SPR under this scaling (and maybe wouldn’t have gone P3 either)

#6

Thanks for clarifying (but no need to mention anyone’s tits anywhere)

Some people chose their builds for synergy with GVG/PVP. I’m sure you can understand why it hurts for the number of people who deliberated over their builds and chose P3 mainly for stone skin and then spent hours leveling their character that way to rank 7! At least I hope ktos gave P3 a stat reset because to nerf it that much without one is absurd :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Eh, I did the same thing, but I couldn’t justify taking Cleric C3 over Priest C3 just because of Divine Might over Stone Skin (but with this change, now I’m not so sure, even if it is PVP only). Not having much INT or SPR in my build, those two options were pretty much my deciding factor when choosing which tree to go with. But now, I’m not so sure I made the correct decision (again, mostly because of the low SPR in my build to begin with).

C3 Priest is kinda hell to level, though, since you have to rely on Level 5 Heal, and Cure, along with your melee to deal damage solo. :sweat_smile: Reeeeaaaalllly looking forward to being a Monk already.

yeah it was very difficult for me to choose btw C2 and P3 (safety zone vs stone skin) and I chose P3 because of PVP. The worst part is I got ledas shield on my monk, an untrabable item, so it s pointless for me to reroll.

I feel you, lvling was difficult due to our small aoe. Good luck to your road to be a monk.

I still might end up rerolling it. I’m not too sure yet. It’ll all come down to how well I can handle being semi-support, and how well people will actually accept that. I’m planning on testing it once I hit Priest C3. I’ll probably loaf around the level 50 dungeon for a bit to see if I can handle it.

For one, I probably went one of the derpiest routes I could take, and chose Mass Heal, Revive, and Monstrance over Sacrament, Blessing, and Aspersion. Basically, my logic was more, “If you live longer, you can do more DPS,” over the typical logic that, “If you do more damage, and the enemy dies faster than you do, then you don’t have to worry about healing as much.” :sweat:

Wasn’t really looking to be full-support, though, just semi-support, moreso to support myself if need be. Buuuut, a Cleric C3 Priest C1 Monk C3 wouldn’t have those at max, either… A Cleric C3, Priest C3 is probably the better choice if they’re looking for a support role, anyway. :sweat_smile:

Although, now I’m wondering if just neglecting both C3 paths, and just going Cleric C2, Priest C2, Monk C3 might have been viable… Hm… :confounded:

i maxed mass heal, stone skin, res, lv 5 revive while have 1 in monstrance, 1 in sac, 5 in bless, 1 in aspersion with 12 skills flowing. Bless could lower to lv 3 but maxing the +2 damage attribute is a must. Res could also lower to lv 2 but then both sac, monstrance, and blessing dont scale as it lvls. Cleric 3 is definitely not needed, you ll regret going cleric 3 even more.

#11

Yeah I am wondering if priest c3 is worth it anymore compared to leaving it in c2 and just getting a rank in something else for rank 7… but nothing i choose would scale with SPR anyway :confused: might just hang on tight until we get some patch notes over next few weeks

The main thing to take away is I really think SPR builds are kind of a waste now

#12

What do you mean with block addition? 50% Chance or 50% value via spr? AFAIK the block -> blockchance thing hasnt been found out yet.

#13

I mean around 50% chance to block a physical attack with max Stone Skin and around 100 or so SPR.

#14

Where do you have that number from? I never hat that low a block rate under any circumstance, even with 1/4 of the SPR I have now

#15

The block rate formula is still incomplete, but on the subreddit we predict that this change will result in a 50% reduction in the effectiveness of Stone Skin in PvP.

Since we don’t have Team Battle League we kinda have to guess.

#16

Blocking at least 50% of incoming physical atks is still strong, as a party buff especially. And that’s PVP. For PVE you will still get the higher original block rate.

If you were not Priests and had to battle others you guys would want a fair battle system, and as it was, was OP, and now it’s still a strong skill.

#17

If you read my 1st post I am fine with these changes. Stone Skin is brokenly powerful in pvp right now, it needed to be addressed.

#18

Could you kindly provide link to reddit thread in question?
