Kabbalist is a Math support class. it has 3 spells which multiplies damage, each catering to a different type of use.
-
Double Chance is for those heavy 1 hitter types of damage. Available at C2
-
Gevurah caters to all styles of hits, doubles damage for a small calculated number of hits. Available at C3
-
Merkabah (attributed) grants a 10% extra damage as an additional line attack per hit landed on a monster debuffed with the wheel. Suitable for those who specialises in dealing multiple hits at a go. Available at C2 due to attribute requirements.
Besides the above and Ein Sof. Kabbalist also brings in Revenge Sevenfold, which grants the party a 1 hit shield. During the pre-damage rework, this skill is more valuable as monsters have damage that will 1hko the party. Now it isn’t really that good for pve.
====================================
For your friend’s build of Wiz1>Cryo2>Kino3>RC>Enchanter2, there are a few areas in which you can look into.
Firstly is due to not having Surespell, the classic Icewall+Pressure combo will get easily interrupted if a monsters manages to hit him. Hence a support who is able to keep pressure off your friend will be great. Next RC> Enchanter2 route grants your friend the giant lightning hands auto attack stomp attack, which most likely he will be using together with Magnetic Force which will pull monsters together while his burst dps is having downtime.
Lastly his build is rather hybrid, having Enchanter C2 and Kino3 means his build is good as a party support character where he can crowd control and hold monsters while other party members attack.
For a non priest cleric support for such a build, I recommend the hybrid Cleric2 X Paladin3 PD2 Inquisitor1. Reasons is as follows:
-
Paladin C3 offers Sanctuary, which boosts magic damage based off your magic defence (non buffed). This is a good alternative to other damage boosters such as Aukuras or blessing. Having access to Barrier also helps in keeping your friend safe while he executes his Icewall Pressure burst.
-
Inquisitor C1 grants Malleus Maleficarum, which is a great damage booster. You can also help with icewall dps using Breaking Wheel too, but channelling Sanctuary will be much better imo lol.
-
As your friend is running a hybrid dps/support styled build, you can compliment him by having access to DPS skills too while he is supporting. 2 circles of Plague Doctor is good for aoe dps. PD also grants some immunity to status effects in the support category too. With his enchanter buffs, your DoTs will deal more damage too.
Now for the X in the build, there are few choices which I recommend
- Priest1 - For ress.
- Dievdirby1 - Mainly for Laima statue, as your friend’s build has rather long cooldowns. Laima has an alternate use of pulling some monsters too.
- Bokor1 - There are 2 reasons for bokor choice here. First is zombies help with aggroing monsters and am able to hold some aggro/serve as distraction while you both prep for the big damage combo. Second reason is Bokor’s Hexing works relatively well with PD’s Pandemic to mass reduce monster’s mdef (although it isn’t that much for level5).
Last but not least, with Paladin3 PD2 Inq1 as a hybrid support, the build doesn’t gimp you when your friend isn’t around. You can still solo and function efficiently. And when your friend is around, both your builds will compliment each other, each taking turns to rotate between support and dps.
