Skipping Priest3 for a Paladin/Monk build

Class and Rank Cleric
#1

Do you think it works?

I was thinking of something along the lines of:
Cleric -> Priest -> Priest -> Paladin -> Monk -> Paladin -> Paladin

The idea is getting Priest and Paladin for the elemental damage procs and taking one Monk circle for extra damage skills.
The problem is Priest buffs will not be maxed so in dungeons if there’s another Priest they’re kinda worthless. The healing is also not the best, even with Restoration increase, since i don’t get Cleric2 for extra healing squares and Mass Heal wont be maxed.

Any input?

One rank of Monk’ll not do you any good.

To tell you the truth, Priest buffs are overrated. When you get to 3 star maps, mobs’ll have so much HP that the buffs’ll not matter anymore.

I prefer going Cleric C2+Dievdirby C1 for Paladin or Cleric C2+Dievdirby C2 for Monk.

Cleric C2 will give you 10 squares heal x2. I’m not saying you’ll need to be a helaer, but with 10 giving you 5% two times, that sums up 100% of your life every 22 seconds.

About Dievdirby, it was buffed a lot recently. Carve hits 5 times and has 3 uses before overheat, with that much hits it’ll still be usefull in endgame. It’s a STR based skill you get on rank 3.

And we have statues, Zemina and Laima are awesome. One of them reduces your SP usage and ups your SP recovery. The other reduces your cooldowns 25% and reduces opponents movement by 20. Those buffs’ll stay strong still on endgame.

Yeah, i’ve heard about the Diev changes and might try a variation with one sometime.

When i say Priest buffs, in this build i pretty much mean Blessing and Sacrament. Sacrament adds one extra hit to auto attacks (with Cafrisun set it’s 2 extra hits). That extra hit procs elemental damage increases.

So the idea is to have Auto attack + Sacrament proc + Cafrisun proc. Each of those get bonus from Blessing (150dmg), Sacrament holy propery(24dmg) and i also have 3 elemental property enchant on my headgears (100dmg but it can be increased with better enchants).

I have no idea if this would scale into later stages in the game, even with Conviction debuff.

That’s why i was thinking of skipping Priest3 and fill it with another class. Otherwise i’ll just get Priest3 and Paladin3.

I’m not playing on KTOS nor ITOS, so I can’t tell you from experience. All knowledge I got is from reading others opinions, and analyzing reports.

It would be good to see more people trying different things, so we can have better judgement on wich works and wich doesn’t.

I mean, that you should go for what you like, It’s your game.

I would like to go for a full tank(Pelt2+Rode2+Fencer2) but report from others are turning me off. I’ll probably go for it when ITOS F2P start. I just hope it’ll not be as bad as others told me.
