Taoist build help

Class and Rank Cleric
#1

Hi guys, im interested to create a taoist and i am aware we lack proper information on the class now. I need some advice and ideas.

Im planning to go cleric>krivis>krivis>cleric>krivis> ?>?> taoist
The sequence doesnt really matter.

For the blank slots i have hard time choosing between pardoner (for daino scrolls so it can be given to my chaplain) and since theres pardoner PD seems good as discerning+incinerate combo but rank 8 im going taoist so no PD2 for me.
Bokor for hexing, not sure if its worth one rank for that.
Any input would be highly appreciated and thanks very much in advance :slight_smile:

I personnally will be going Cleric2-Krivis2-Diev3 before Taoist
Just because I think Dievdirbys and Taoist share the same way of supporting parties - aka zoning support - so to me Taoist synergizes the best with Diev, and Krivis for the bonus dmg on lightning attacks
Not particularly a soloing build though, more like an offensive support who can drop heals in-between dmg aoes and buffs :slight_smile:
For the stat, 3:2 or 3:1 Int/Con and a bit in Spr (more if you want to focus on Zalciai) would make you safe anywhere, pve, pvp…

Great idea, so do u think taking pardoner just to make daino scrolls for alt is a big waste?

Cleric1 -> Krivis3 -> Cleric2 -> Diev2 -> Taoist

Go Zaibas DPS!! Time to reawake how powerful and OP Zaibas is.
Adds the Power of Statues and you can spam more Zaibas while having the buffs from Taoist.

I have been wondering about this myself, diev3 or krivis 3. Its more owl dmg and ausrine vs more zaibas dmg combined with taoist lightning amplify

#6

Question is, why did you get Taoist in the first place?
Is it for Owl? or Zaibas?

You want Taoist so go Krivis3 to maximize damage and buff. If you want Owl damage, go Diev3 but meh, don’t go Taoist after. Better go C2 Diev3 Druid3 instead. You only go Diev2 to get SP statue, CD statue, and World Tree. But mostly, CD is needed to spam more Zaibas and the Taoist Buff.

Your choice though.

This is my last say, If you want Taoist, Go Kriv3. If you want Diev3, go Druid3.

Great point. Thanks alot bro

I wouldn’t say Pardoner is a mistake in any build who can benefit it, as long as you can make money out of it, buuut… You probably want to take in consideration that in a Krivis build, you’ll be scrolling only one skill, so, is it worth taking Pardoner for only one skill, that is what you want to think about :slight_smile:
Personnally I would only take Pardoner with a class that can scroll more skills (like my priest1/paladin3, my blessing is sh!t but I can still sell it along with barrier).
Btw, Taoist with Krivis3 might work well, although I still have my preference on Kriv2/Diev3 because in any case, Zaibas dmg falls off in late game, while lv10 owls are still solid + Ausrine + World tree bring more utilities for end game and PvP.
Cleric2/Krivis3/Druid2 seems solid if you wanna go Kriv3 with a bit of versatility. It’s all about what you’re confortable with in the end :slight_smile:

#9

OP - what is your goals for this build?.. pve or pvp? …

btw playing as diev2 without going diev3 is the biggest waste in cleric skill tree.

#10

My current build is cleric 2> krivis 3 > oracle 2> and will be going taoist, If i’ll reroll i’d be going cleric 2> krivis 3> priest 1> oracle 1 then taoist.

#11

Thanks for your input i will put all your suggestions into consideration. thanks so much. anyway daino scrolls seem a little expensive thats why i wanted to make some myself haha. anyhow, needa see real details on taoist to decide further.

Hmm… i know Diev 3 is good in PVP. thats why i actually asked earlier… its owl10 and ausrine vs more hits in zaibas for taoist… but xshintot has a point too saying im going taoist for the lightning amplification for zaibas. Cant decide HAHA. will wait for more taoist details

#13

Hi Ynirie any particular reasons why priest 1 oracle? would like to understand. more input benefits my choices. haha. thanks

#14

Let me answer on his/her behalf.

The Priest 1 is added late in his/her build only for the benefit of “Resurrection” (definitely learned up to Lv5). People/parties generally don’t need resurrection until around that time. Then Oracle 1 because the first circle pretty much gives you what Oracle has in its toolkit. This person also already owns an Oracle 2 which he/she could direct to Oracle 3, provided that the KR testing for Oracle 3 skills prove tempting enough.

Melstis might affect Taoist skills which could help justify Krivis3.

#16

What are your thoughts on going Krivis C3 > Bokor C2 > PD C1 > Taoist?

#17

I’m going Druid 2 for Chrotosmata damage. Seems like Taoist might do crazy dps so that’s what I’m looking for.
Melstis only works on buffs and Taoist might have them but it looks more to be like deployment skills.
Fun thing with Melstis and low SPR, you can regen SP with 1 pot.

#18

im going cleric > kriv c3 > pala c3 > taoist

i wonder what turn undead damage scales with? since im going full int/con 50-100(i dont know how much hp is needed). which skill in paladin tree should i take since ill be taking barrier, resto, ele resist, conviction and still have 5 skill points extra to spend with

#19

Easy with the OP word… It is not OP just very strong for a reason… It’s THE ONLY dps skill a Krivis has… Long cooldown and stationary…

Saying it as OP can give the dev a wrong understanding about the issue by giving the nerf hammer on the wrong skill… There are other skills that are way too strong that it overshadows what other skills that said class have (not saying what as don’t wanna start a flame war)… While the Zaibas on the other hand doesn’t anything as it is The Only Thing…

Anyway adding more, my current build is Cleric 2 Krivis 3 Druid 2 and now torn between Druid 3 and Taoist… Will await the numbers especially on the “more carnivorous wolf vs the rain thing” before I make a final decision…

#20

I was thinking the same thing, but considering dropping Krivis 3 for plague doc.

5 more hits on zaibas vs a whole new skill incinerate and healing factor vs melstis.
