[Brainstorming] Post your Taoist build and why here

So guys r8 finaly came out and i still cannot choose my future taoist build , so many options…

The new one i came up is

c2k3o1pd1t1

With that amount of damage increased i realy dont think rank 6 Druid will be a good dps after r8, so i opt for Oracle and PD for some PvP purpose and utility, but still not convinced about this build.

My other options are
b1pd1 for rank 6 and 7 or The straight foward druid2 for sterea troth and not that amazing dps carnivory (transform can now use magic from other classes)

Any good ideas ? would like to see what everybody thinks about Taoist

Any tips /20charcters

there’s no reason not to go pure int with the insane scaling from zaibas and buffed cure, krivis is only brought along for daino in gvg and is obsoleted by diev and priest in pvp

be the pve god and specialize

What you mean by specialize ?

focus on pve build and pvp build, not both

Any tips on specialization ?

Drop Oracle and PD for … ?
since the damage scales THAT badly from rank 6 and 7 classes have some utilitys from Oracle/PD dont seems to be THAT bad, sure i will not be the Bokor3>PD2 for PVP, or even the PD>Inquisitor but will bring some utility for not be totaly useless in pvp, and i think CC prevention even work on PVE (i know about the scrolls) and Counter Spell is a good call for some magical mobs, Oracle is even has some use for drop, the druid2 Path seems to be also good but his carnivory dont do barely any damage at high levels (compared to the new skills) and has only the new transformed buff and sterea troth for PVE

Up! /20characters …

Since I’m rly bad in druid theorycraft (I NEVER played a druid or went to deep into it, I mainly play hard sups so is kinda of a nono class to me)

The 2 most appealing builds looks like

C2 K3 D1 PD1Tao1

C2 K3 D2 Tao1

For pure boss hunting(?)

Dunno what should be the best, tho

C2 K3 D1 Pd1 Tao1 looks like it could work, but personally i was leaning more towards bokor 1 instead of d1

@Rhexis Yeah i realy think bokor is better placed than Druid 1 on Pd build , cause Druid 1 doesnt bring much to The table

I was thinking bout going Taoist with my PD actually.
My Build is:

Cleric C2 > Krivis C2 > Bokor C2 > PD > (Taoist or PD2) PD2 looks like it’s got some hard hitting stuff, but generally it’s skills are hard to hit anyone that knows how to move. I’ve always built Classes that felt support oriented but could handle themselves, and so far in all my years of gaming, it’s worked for me.

I’m think to get Taoist in my Build
Cleric > priest 3 > chapl > Druid 2 > maybe Taoist

But its really hard to decide :frowning:

Yeah could Excel as both taoist and Pd but… this bokor2krivis2 combo is a call for PD2 (my opinion :wink: ) well The good thing about rank8 cleric classes is that you dont need a so so straight foward build every rank can help each other (The exception is Monk i think) acctualy on my main c2diev3d1pd1 i am thinking about to pick Inquisitor realy diev+Pd+ inquisitor seems OP on PvP against mages, Druid is there for… I dont know maybe to transform people in plant for The attribute +20℅ damage from diev to trigger (20℅ on those new rank 8 skills seems a lot !)

I have been thinking about taoist. My biggest worry is how much talismen cost (500 each), and how often it is needed. Potentially most expensive class.

In pvp, taoist come off as a zoner to me (another cleric zoner). So stacking with other zoner like deiv or druid should work pretty well even without krivis (though nice to have zaiba). Still many detail needed though. Like if other can kill or move talismen etc.

Then there is miko, who may fill oracle spot.

Yeah I know lol PD with Pandemic/Hex/Effigy/Incinerate so yeah, the poison damage from C2 is almost hard to pass up… But OMG NEW CLASS! Lol I actually kinda like themes as well, and Taoist using cards, well… Bokor has Maka-wtfever Lol. Idk, maybe it only clicks in my head.

I was forcing myself to use bokor as an taoist to ( looks like a kyonshee Shaman or something) :smile:

On a side note: Krivis 2 + Taoist would massively increase my lightning damage. So there’s that. Although I primarily use that as a filler ability, but it’s 10/10.

My build is Cleric2>Krivis3>Diev2>Tao1

I like the idea of Diev 2 but doesnt bring much to the table other then world tree and most likely in ET and other places you will be with an Diev3.

Did you see that the charm cost is 500silver each ? man thats absurd! at least the dps pair with AoE mages/archers
