Sadhu C2 vs Krivis C2

Class and Rank Cleric
#1

Greetings everyone!

For my main character I want to build a Sadhu and Druid, with Cleric c2 for Fade and Divine Might, and Krivis for extra DPS with Zaibas and Daino support. However, I can’t decide on which would be better, to go for Krivis c2 or Sadhu c2.

Currently my build looks like this:

However, I can’t decide if that is the most optimal way to build my character, or if I should go with this:

Going for Krivis c2 instead of Sadhu c2 gives me lvl 10 Zaibas, which hits for almost 3 times more than lvl 5, 4 more Daino levels and gives me Divine Stigma, which seems to be very solid. However, going for Sadhu c2 gives me Possession, which can improve my DPS kit since I can use it while Zaibas is on cooldown. The bonus damage in Astral Body Explosion is meaningless late game, and I don’t know how necessary the extra 5 lvls in Out of Body would be.

I’m aware of the Sadhu nerfs and the issues with Possession, but I don’t think I’d have any problem landing it with lvl 10 Safety Zone and lvl 5 Sterea Trofh.

So, what are your opinions? What do you think would be more valuable in this build? I must say it’s focused entirely on PvE, I don’t care about PvP and therefore intend to focus solely on dungeons with groups and solo PvE when necessary.

Thanks in advance!

Dude it depends if you’re playing solo or in a team. Sadhu solo is pretty bad and you’ll have a hard time staying oob without getting hit. Zaibas is really good but the cd won’t change and lvl 5 will kill most monsters already. I would get sadhu 2 if in a team or krivis 3 (wouldn’t even get sadhu) if solo. Good luck.

Well, I intend to party with other people for dungeons, but I don’t have any premade party for the game. I’ll just try to find room as a support / dps hybrid of sorts, depending on the group’s needs. I have no desire to play Krivis c3 though, I’d rather go diev c3 if that were the case.

#4

I was theory crafting thinking of doing full int build with this. Is this any good?

#5

I’d get at least 3 points in Aukuras because of Aukuras: Enhance. Also I tend to favor Deino more than Zalciai, at least in alocating points. Could be wrong on that, though.

Divine Might should really be at lvl 5. I’d also max out Heal.

Other than that, the build seems to be alright. Don’t forget to get some CON too, as a caster you are somewhat frail and having more HP helps. You can focus on INT but still get some CON, like in a 4:1 ratio, maybe. :slight_smile:

#6

Bump? I’m still undecided and could really use some more opinions :slight_smile:

#7

You can move points from Vashita Siddhi into Possession if you want too. Otherwise, you have max level Safety Zone with Cleric 3 and Sterea Trofh from Druid 1 to stay in OOB without being knocked out of it.

#8

From what I gather, Vashita Siddhi sucks, so yeah.

I’m not sure if it’s worth it to go Cleric c3 just to get 5 more levels on Safety Zone. It doesn’t last longer, just takes more hits. I feel like at least one level on Krivis would be benefit me more, with Zaibas to increase my damage output and Daino is pretty nice to have too, for group play.

I’m still not sure if going Krivis c2 beats Sadhu c2 though.

#9

Whelp, if you doubt yours and other’s opinion then I guess it’s time for you to learn through trial and error and go with what you feel is best.

#10

It’s not a matter of doubting anything, it’s a matter of discussing things so that we can think of the best optimization. That’s why I made this thread, to try and promote some theorycrafting between the benefits of going for Krivis c2 over going for Sadhu c2 in this particular build. Presenting new points of view and opinions is always welcomed in such discussions, but everything is subject to scrutiny, because in the end that’s the point here. :slight_smile:

But yeah, I guess playing with the build up to Cleric > Krivis > Cleric c2 > Sadhu ought to give me a good grasp over what I’d prefer to get at Rank 5. I hope that at that point I can understand better what each class adds to my character, what works and what doesn’t, and decide based on that.

Thanks for your input!

I player cleric2 - sadhu 2 - and although I didnt get to druid it was pretty OK to play solo. Possession is really great and oob was too, but I have to say that few weeks playing with it i really got tired of having to worry about getting hit all the time, is exausting lol unless you focus on zaibas and Possession only, but i dont really ser the point as the main thing that make the class unique is oob and apparently it got nerfed, just dont know how much.
I wouldnt recommend cleric 3 as safety zone 10 + atributtes is enough. Specially using fade and once you get sterea troth.

#12

Thanks for the tips!

Yeah, from what I read oob’s attack speed got halved, and getting hit interrupts it. Interruption also happens during possession. Still, I think it can be worked around. I intend to use oob when every other offensive skill is on cooldown, and I don’t see the interrupt being an issue in dungeons, since I’ll stay far back with my body anyway.

Would you say the second Sadhu circle was worth it? Did you pick Krivis? Sadhu is a Rank 4 class, so what did you pick besides Cleric c2 and Sadhu c2?

Thanks again and sorry for all the questions!

#13

I got priest at rank 3. I knew I wouldnt be going far as I didnt have much time to play so I didnt take my rank choice very seriously. Just wanted to test everything. I believe that the changes for cleric c2 and safety zone atrributes will really help sadhu builds, is not that easy to stay away from the mob attacking it, they will come for you :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
sadhu c2 was reeally worth it. Everything changed with possession and extra damage for the explosion and all. Is sad that is impossible for you to test c3 without having to give up on sterea troth. But maybe with rank 8 :slight_smile:

Sorry i cant be more helpful, hope you’ll enjoy it.

#14

No worries, you have helped me a lot! It’s good to read some positive impressions on Sadhu c2, since I see it being neglected so often. Thanks!

If u want Sadhu, getting cleric C2 and druid C2 for the defensive protection (safety zone & sterea) seems like a must for OOB or Posession (channeling).

You will be pretty much support/dps hybird when compared to the wizard tree or archer tree. Cleric jobs tend to have limits to their attack spells (Carnivory and its 40hit limit etc, Zaibas too) makes it hard to aoe clear mobs. Bosses are great thou.

-from ur builds it looks like a decision between a Splash attribute for Zaibas or Possession for Sadhu. IMO I’d go sadhu cuz more skills :sweat_smile:-

#16

Yeah, Sadhu has the benefit of getting a separate cooldown for more damage.
From this post and the previous one, I think I’ll give Sadhu c2 a chance. Thanks guys!

I’m very interested in an up-to-date review of sadhu…I’m finishing up cleric c3 and thinking about next rank…:stuck_out_tongue:
