[Sadhu vs Dievdirbys] Could I get a build critique?

Class and Rank Cleric

Hi!

I’m a bit new to the cleric tree, having only played up to Rank 5 in the CBT.

I’ve read most of the Sadhu thread and it seems like while they were nerfed, they are still pretty viable. I have no experience with Dievdirbys but they seem interesting. I have two builds in mind that I want to try and I was hoping to be persuaded one way over the other.

Before I post my build, I do want to say that I am fairly set on going Druid C2. Transformation looks fun and Carnivory looks lethal. I’m pretty excited!

Anyways, here are my two builds.

As you can see, the only different is that I am skipping Diev C2 and C3 for Sadhu C1 and C2. From what I read, Diev’s statues really only get duration at higher levels. I think the big one is Goddess Laima but Zemyna looks like it’s worth going to C3 for maybe?

I am trying to be a DPS, though I do really enjoy supporting so maybe some sort of hybrid?. My main is a Linker2 -> Chrono3 and I really like it.

The Diev Build is by far the better build.

View sadhu like Sorc, you play it for fun/theme.

Edit: more specific i would do

1 Vakarine
12 Zemyna
6 Laima
10 owl
10 tree
5 ausrine

for diev which leaves you 1 extra if you want to put it in lamia or carve or vakarine w/e works for you. These are just the diev numbers that have worked best for me personally by no means a be all end all.

oh yeah i would also get carve attack, with no srt it can do decent dmg, just like how owl can do decent dmg with no int.

Lvl 6 Zemyna and lvl 6 Laima have Duration higher than CD.

The difference is that: Diev 2 and 3 gains: 1 invul that other players do not know how to use, so only you will use it.
2 stationary owls that work well if you have a competente peltasta that aggro the monsters near your owl cuz this ■■■■ destroys everything fast and then keep there, spreading green fire in nothing
and a silence that stop skills and AA.

If you want Diev just for CD reduction and the 2 great Laima debuffs, C1 is what you need.
If you want the wood who spread green fire in boss who knock it far and move far away from your statues cuz players do not know how to cooperate with yours skills, go diev 3.

And really, Sadhu is not that bad like the most people say.

and i would level carve up a bit, it helps with levelig, and at carve lvl 15 it deals 6750 base dmg (without strenght) if im calculating right, and has 3 charges.

one of my friends is a linker with spirit link. I ran laps refreshing the buff while i support.

soooooo good.

#8

Alright. Thanks for all your insight. I think I am leaning towards the Dievdirbys build. I am still open to feedback so by all means, please continue. I appreciate the help.

WOW

That a good thing xD
Just one person use, everyone gain. But, like I said, no other players will know or will want to use the Ausrine buff, but you found the solution hahahahaha

#10

But yea i can agree with that, i would say 90% of the people i play with have no idea what ANY of my statues do and move out of the radius, nvm just ausrine.

The ones that do though love them.

@Rubiss

Sorry I’m currently at work and I can’t view your skill build. Just curious are you planning to max cure from build number 2? If yes are you going to take out the pts from safety zone?

Thanks!

#12

That’s the diev reality.

1 - You carve the statue
2 - Mobs and party suffer the effect
3 - Party see mobs running slow/not attaking
4 - Party think “oh, it might be a bug!”
5 - Party run away from the radius
6 - ???

Is that way that I see most of guys who do it. And its like all guys who I played with.

BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT if I’m right, Diev is one of best classes for ET

Diev is a fantastic class in general
Great support
Owl is a damage king

but the draw back is stationary bases for your skill effects.

#14

I’m not Rubiss, but I’ll tell you what I thing being a diev 3.

YES. Max it.
No one will use all hits from Safety Zone lvl 10, it always fade before the hitcount.
Cure do a lot of damage, really. A LOT. It melt bosses. Highly recommend maxing cure and leaving 4 points in SZ.

#15

I’m sorry I notice it a bit late, thanks for the info. I’m currently at C2 D1 ATM. Currently on STR DEX CON since this should be a monk build but I change my mind. I might reset my stat soon… I will max cure thanks again!

As fun as Sadhu can be, it really isn’t meta. At all, there’s little point to picking it aside from messing around with builds. You get much better utility with the second build, although it may be slightly harsher to level. People will love you as you’ll be the Nature Lover™.

In seriousness though, Diev C2/C3 give ridiculous utility. I like to think of Diev as the closest example to the Bard archetype- strong support abilities. You get a Silence Statue which shuts down units from attacking you at all for a little time, and Carve Owl which both deals great base magical damage and functions as a distraction totem. Ausrine is a little awkward to use, but with a good party, you could basically ignore boss rotations with very minimal need to heal peeps. I also hear it’s glitchy but I’m not sure if they’ve fixed it yet.

Compared to…really a ranged scaling int aa and a rooted magic nuke that also roots enemies. See what I mean? Not trying to downplay Sadhu, but it really is more of a leisure/experimental pick.

Diev 3 is ■■■■■■■ good. I am one, and can confirm it.

Ausrine is not bugged, but it’s ping related, so if your ping is 8000ms, you’ll have problems using it.

And yeah. Sadhu is cool and all that, but the condition of all skills having bugs and it not being a high dps who you can focus, but just more one thing in your skill rotation makes sadhu Out of Meta.
