Hey ya’ll! So @Melon and I were talking the other day and she was telling me she was interested in Sadhu, and I was too! So I thought I’d craft up a little theoretical build for Sadhu that looked pretty fun–basically I focused on Cleric C3 for the best ways to protect the sadhu’s body while OoB is active, and since not many of the Sadhu later abilities help out all that much, I threw in Plague Doctor because she really likes their outfits, and I figured it’s a great class with anything. But if anyone has any input/suggestions, we are all ears!

Sadhu got crapped on by a series of nerfs a long time ago and since then has not been very popular. Oob is not the power house it used to be its now more like a stronger auto attack that can never crit. So if your taking sadhu is more for prakriti for escapes and Astral Body Explosion and Possession for damage.
And those skills have problems as well Astral Body Explosion which is a one off hit that requires alot for set up and possession which is c2 and easily interuptable.
Im not trying to scare you off as i play sadhu and refuse to give up on it, but i want you to know your looking at a currently sub par class.

I dont know a darn thing about Sadhu (or Clerics), so take what @thebloodyaugust said into consideration.
Instead, Ill leave this here, so you and Melon can figure out something else…

Hahaha, I have actually seen this before. xD I think Melon would approve.
But that’s good info to have. I still think the class looks interesting, and I would hate to see them neglect it if it’s as bad now as it sounds. I guess there’s only one way to find out! Though it would be helpful if the skills explained what determines all its damage from OoB basic attacks…

So far sadhu seems to have limited option because of its nerf. A lot of the information is behind the fact that sadhu gets interrupted too much, so a lot of stuff doesn’t work.
Leaves options like possession and explosion that had amazing fighting videos before the nerf.
My suggestion is to find out what you want to do first. Support/Dps/Pvp/Pve
Otherwise there’s too many decisions :x
I can edit your build a bit, ditch the Cleric3 and go another sadhu rank for possession. After that, for pvp I was gonna do the same thing. Haven’t tested sadhu with PD tho so its all theoretical :x
Also thats a very interesting order you have there. For me i’d switch to make it
Cleric>Cleric>Krivis>Sadhu>Sadhu>Krivis/(what do u want to do?)>Plague Docter
Bloodletting doesn’t interrupt anything because it’s a condition not an actual dot.
Thats awsome! I heard it from somewhere, thanks for the clear up.
The best thing i have managed to find is either
Cleric > Cleric > Krivis> Sadhu> Sadhu> Druid > Druid
Cleric > Krivis > Krivis> Sadhu> Sadhu> Druid > Druid
Pending your preference, but basically your just a giant nuke with Zabais / Possesion / Carnivory stacked up and Safety zone and Sterea Trofh Protect you but this is no good for pvp because no one is going to walk into your grass. But its a decent PvE build.
The Synergy with
- Laima slow and Oob
- SZ,Fade and World
- DM with Owl,Ausrine,Fade,World and SZ
I’m aware that this build misses out on PD and Kabbalist.

I think a better path would be ;
Cleric > Krivi > Cleric > Sadhu > Sadhu > X > Y >
The Changes to Sadhu’s Out of Body kind of makes it an ‘eh’ skill that you can’t be purely reliant on anymore and as a result makes it so that you’re more reliant on other skills in the kit ( possession). It’s a similar concept to what they’ve done with moving sorc skills up the tree.
Although to be fair, i skipped Sadhu Circle 2 in the second CBT because Circle 1 was so strong and became a pardoner.

I looked at this build before, The druid build just seemed better because they have invincibility options and better damage options. While yours is leaning towards support dps, not so much solo. Looks like decent pvp though.
If your a cleric in PVP and don’t have PD youll get boo’s till you exit the arena. I dislike how it has to be in your build if its a pvp build -.- as i hate the classes ascetic.
Ya sorry I’m always too focus on PVP.
PD and Kabbalist just bring better options than most than the other ranks. You can quote me on that xD
I’m never going to miss out on immunity to cc as a buff with a duration on it. And only 5 second intervals!
Kabbalist has reflect, so cool beans 
With Ausrine (Immune to all damage),SZ,Cure,Fade (Immune to magic and magic CC) and World (Safe from close and some mid range skills) you should be ok but not completely safe.
Thats another thing i really dislike, with how powerful the anti cc skils are it made oracles pretty much useless and oracle was already struggling to chosen in any build.
Long story short i feel like the gap between strong and weak classes in the cleric tree is 2 big and needs to be closed a bit.
Or here for you my friend
you kicked out possession? :x
Mind explaining your build sir? xD
Loztchild’s build has invincibility options as well. And if you think Carnivory is gonna do you any good in PvP then think again. It takes way too long to cast. I’d probably tweak a few skill points here and there but tha’ts just personal preference. His first build is pretty solid imo.
The second one the plague doctor takes away from they synergy of the build. Yeah it has good skills now but who knows what’s going to be better to take ranks in when they come out with rank 8 classes. Better to just focus on what works together or else you might have to reroll
Melon and I are both sort of in the realm of “we just want to PvE, and we want to have fun while we do it,” which is why I went Cleric -> Kriv C2, because Zaibais AoE attribute. I felt like it would be more fun to level that way than to just be a cleric C2, because you don’t need Fade until you’ve got OoB, so why bother getting it ahead of time when you can instead be a lightning monster?! MUAHAA 
But also because I don’t know what I’m doing. :3
