Can anyone tell me exactly how these 2 skills work? Does blessing affect the dot from exorcise? I’m trying to make a monk and can’t decide if I should go paly or priest 3.
Pasta time:
Exorcise:
Places a trap that lasts 10 seconds, the first enemy it touches receives a 10second damage over time effect.
- Hits 15 times during a 10 second period, each hit scales with int on a 1:1 basis.
- Damage scales well with skill level.
~ While the damage is high it tends to be overkill for most enemies before lvl 140.
High single target damage, excellent for bosses but tends to be overkill for anything else.
- It randomly picks one enemy if it could hit several.
- Enemies resist it fairly often, outright negating it’s effect.
- Attempts to kill fireballs, worse yet it always fails.
Stone Skin:
Adds 80-600 block for all party members. Lasts 35 seconds with a 60 second cooldown.
- Very strong defensive buff that works equally on every character.
- Does not require a shield or existing forms of block, just to make it clear.
- Scales excellent with spirit since it adds 4 block per spirit.
- Scales excellently with skill level.
~ Good duration, only real downside is that it can’t be kept up 24/7. Which would be to overpowered anyway.
Basically i don’t recommend priest 3 due to the 5 buff limit, i think you get more out of the other options.
- Priest3 adds a unreliable high single target dmg skill, slightly better skill scaling and stone skin. (35s good physical defense, 25s no party wide physical defense) And to many buffs for the buff limit.
- Krivis adds more dmg due to zalciai for crit or spr builds. And daino helps fix the buff limit issue. Aukuras cd is to long but it does agro/heal slightly.
- Paladin’s restoration does not count as a buff (but a aura) and is quite nice, resist elements and smite also help out tons. Though smite will lose it’s purpose when you get monk2. Also struggles with the buff limit.
- Dievdirby reduces cd’s and sp usage, don’t think carve is that good for you. And that’s assuming they don’t count as buffs.
seems like Krivis seems to be the best choice. Since I only get a minor damage buff with priest and Smite falls off once I hit monk and Dievdirby has the same issue with paladin.
Both priest and paly have excellent defensive buffs (the 50+ sp regen is nice) but the + crit attack and increase buff limit really helps a lot. Thanks this really cleared up a lot of things. Time to remake.
