im a cleric priest3 pal2 currently with 100 con and rest in spt plan to go pal3 and go inquis for last ranks
I have extra points since I maxed blessing and mass heal but not sure about the rest should I max aspersion for defence? does exorcise and sacrament scale with spirit? thanks bunches XD
If you are not Chaplain, it’s pretty useless to level up Aspersion. Because it’s a lot of points and you can buy it from the shops (you don’t even need to take it at all).
Sacrament is pretty much the same, but since the damage does scale with SPR, some like to level it a bit.
Exorcise is pretty bad on its own so no point~ It’s also a magical spell, so no, it doesn’t scale with your SPR.
1 point in Monstrance is always nice because with the attribute it lasts 5 minutes, and it’s a +30% DEX boost for the party for just one skill point.
Revive can always be useful, especially if you want to be a sponge-Paladin. So you can level it to like level 5 for extra safety/laziness.
Resurrection is always nice to level high for the quick resurrections (taking 5s to res is a no-no :P). With your build, you seem to be support/defensive, so you should have a high Res and a decent Revive.
Stone Skin isn’t really useful now.
So even if you take Monstrance, Res, and Revive, you can still max Sacrament, take Exorcise for an extra attack, or whatever~
Lovely detailed answers, I plan to go full paladin and priest but am unsure for last ranks it is either between inquisitor for damage or diev since it is support and spirit owls.
is a cleric>priest3>pal3> diev2 good for late game if not ill go inquis or chaplain. Suggestions only between those 3 builds please. Paladin skills are also confusing if I dont go inquis then ill drop smite and conviction for resist elements and turn undead. Pally has so many good skills X_X and a spirit build makes turn undead decent…
Yup I am trying to go for support tank. Anticipating that I will be the only cleric and/or tank in the party at endgame.
I don’t think Priest 3 > Pal 3 > Diev 2 is good. The main goal to go Pal + Diev is for Ausrine’s invincibility, allowing you to suck up all your party’s damages with Barrier, and boost them with Sanctuary. At Diev 2, you basically miss out on the best interaction with the two classes.
Inquisitor would be your best choice for this build at the moment. Allowing you to spread your Conviction, damages, while also debuffing enemies. And when it’s on cd, your Paladin can boost the party with Sanctuary.
Turn Undead can be leveled to 2 for the occasional uses and one shots, but for a minion build it isn’t that good outside of regular PvE.
If you plan on being the only cleric/support/tank in the party, I’d advise you then to grab Cleric 2. Heal 10 is pretty much a must have for tougher contents (Raids, world bosses).
So to be Cleric 2 > Priest 3 > Paladin 3 > Inquisitor
My gratitude Goldie, here is the build then would there be anything wrong with it? I do not do pvp
For your Cleric skills:
Deprotected Zone is actually pretty useless. It’s a small aoe zone, and since most mobs and bosses move during fights, it sadly won’t work most of the time. It also doesn’t decrease the defense much. You can put a few points in it if you want, but I’d advise you to level your Cure a bit more (for the duration) since it’s your only curing skill.
Your Priest skills:
You need Mass Heal. It’s instant, which means that if an ally can’t move and/or is being ganged, it will save their life. It’s also great to use for yourself when things are getting too bad. Since Paladin can suck up the party’s damages, it’s even more useful for your build.
Personally I like to max it because with Divine Might it’s 30% HP regen, but you can keep it at level 1 or 5 since you’re maxing Sacrament. The skill you’ll want to sacrifice for it is Stone Skin. It’s sadly not that good, other classes/trees can offer a better protection.
The rest seems good~
Also, I don’t know if you use addons, but even if you don’t I’d advise you to download the TOS addon manager and install an addon called “hotkey ability”. It’s almost a must-have for a Cleric because it allows you to set your attributes as hotkeys. It’s really useful to switch on/off your damages on Heal or your Barrier’s Devotion during fights.
Woah lvl 10 heal and mass heal seem a bit much 
maybe ill go as a dps that can just heal
Going spirit allows me to support or am I just delusional since int and str builds are just better? so far as this build is concerned can spirit be by any means justifiable over str and int builds??
It isn’t, if you do actual content… If you just plan on doing the casual dungeons, Hunting Grounds, and such, Heal 10 is enough.
Paladin’s Barrier make Paladin receive the damages of the whole party, if you use that in a tough environment then Mass Heal will save your life.
If you don’t plan on going SPR, no point taking Blessing 15.
SPR is for support, soloing, buffing. If you work on your weapon, your damages will still be good. Most of your damages come from your weapon anyway. If you want to be mainly a DPS, it’s easier to go STR though. STR with some DEX.
Inquisitor 2 will bring you nothing for PvE. It’s better to just go Priest 3>Chaplain>Pal 3>Inq 1. You’d still have damages and support.
thanks for the fast reply goldie
chaplain over inq2 would be the most logical of choices, however my heart has a logic of its own I am taking inquisitor since only because im a massive inquisition fanboy 
what I meant was the difference in a spirit inq build to a str or even int one, or maybe they wouldn’t even bothe rto take priest at all for that matter?
thanks for bearing with me until now Goldie 
I see~
Yeah, usually with your kind of goal and build you can take Priest up to 2 because of Revive, Res and Mass Heal to be an off-support, but Priest 3 is pretty much overdoing it. P3 is really more to focus on support and Chaplain. As a non-SPR or non-INT Priest you don’t really need to put any points in Sacrament, Blessing, or Aspersion, so you’d have a lot of “extra” skill points at circle 3 
INT wouldn’t work with your build since it is a physical build. But going STR or STR:DEX would work (with a physical build you usually want a bit of DEX for the attack speed).
Is Paladin 2 the latest rank you took ? Or did you go Cleric > Priest > Priest > Paladin > Paladin > Priest ?
XD No problem =P
cleric>priest3>pal2
but I can rerrol, an int build wont work? doesnt int also boost sacrament and blessing?
No, it doesn’t. Blessing and Sacrament are only boosted by SPR.
From the Priest skills, only the ones that can deal direct damages would benefit from INT: Aspersion, Resurrection, Exorcise.
If you had Priest 3 last, you could have simply roll back, it’d be much easier =w=
If you want to switch to be a DPS Paladin-Inquisitor, it’d be better to reroll if you can.
If you want to be here to protect the party without actively healing them, Cleric 1 Priest 2 is good. Then you could take Monk as a filler (another physical DPS class), Kabbalist 1 for the SP regen, Diev 1 for the -20% on cd, Cleric 2 for extra heals.
wow times have changed 
hmm so by going priest3 pal3 inq2 id be a jack of all trades huh glad to know my build sorta works. so effectively there isnt such a thing as an int inq, and str inqs dont take priest.
Taking spt and priest makes me an off healer with less heals than a cleric but more spirit blessings and sacrament means more punch… just less than a str inq. Unless my reason has left me?
Yup… They changed the scaling of Blessing and Sacrament like 3 times @_@
There are INT Inquisitors, but not with your build. Some people go Inquisitor-Miko-Taoist for the big wheel splashes, with some other INT classes. In an INT build basically Inquisitor is filler that is taken only for its combo/synergy with the other classes you have.
A PalInquisitor will focus on the Paladin and Inquisitor, and since both are physical putting INT wouldn’t help you.
Without Cleric 2 but with Priest 3, you’re here to buff, use Revive, Mass Heal if things get dirty, and Resurrect if needed. So you wouldn’t be the main healer, but you’d be the anti-deaths support.
That will depend on your weapon. The way IMC made things, the more you work on your weapon, the more your damages will be based on the weapon and not your stats. And since weapon gets much more damages than stats thanks to enhancements, gems and transcendence, it is possible to not put any INT/STR stats and still have OP damages. But it requires a weapon that has a high enhancement and is transcended to stage 10.
If you have a potion to reset stat (or if you count on using one from a next event/reset event), you could also go STR for now so you’ll have good damages while you work on your weapon, and later you reset to go to full SPR.
my spirit inq build works was all I needed to know it just felt wierd making a str inq since I cant heal and the minor fact that I wanted some spirit for magic defence . An anti mage without magic resistance is an oxymoron
Oh, SPR doesn’t give MDEF anymore ;w; You’ll have to count on your gear for all that.
I do not even know this game anymore
ah well ill still stick to my build as a mage mashing off healer. Thanks your help was very much apreciated Goldie
I suppose I could compromise by going cleric2>priest>pal3>oracle>inq2 and going str
that way I could still be a malee anti mage support… I would miss my huge mana pool though that and I would be missing out on wheel blessing sacrament combo.
oracle just for counterspell 10 invul to magic
You don’t need Blessing and Sacrament, you can buy the shops’ ones. Just be careful to buy high level ones. Now Blessing doesn’t have the hit count anymore, so it lasts 43 minutes (Sacrament still lasts more than an hour).
You don’t really need a huge mana pool~ Ein Sof/Kabba is great for PalInquisitor since their burst can use a lot of SP, but pots are usually enough. And Mole cards + pots will give you a +30% PATK boost too.
Yes I did think about kabalist and ein sof was very tempting… for the tanking and sp management. But I prefer oracle for counterspell I really would like to be a specialized anti-mage. Wheel only works with MM as an inq with my build then? What if I maxed the restoration sp recovery how much would that help? Pears work on magic bosses?
