Hi all! Been a while since I posted. You probably remember me from: Combat Pardoner (or not). In any case, was busy building what in my mind is a combat-viable Pardoner. By that I mean, it can solo Uphill, do decent 140 dungeon speed runs, and Crystal Mine solo runs. It can even still be viable in ET (at least in 1st to 5th floor, haven’t tried higher floors though). Other aspects which I haven’t covered/tried yet: world bossing, solo Library run.
After building it up to 330 and some tests, I can say that I was able to achieve such a goal. The build, and the full write-up you can find here: http://www.tosbase.com/tools/skill-simulator/build/xaqx08tbl2/
Posting it here just to share it with you guys and also to get some additional thoughts/constructive criticisms. Give it a like if you find it interesting or cool, like I did.
An important update: build’s been nerfed quite a bit with the removal of the PoA>Reversi>DE synergy. Had to leave only 1 skill point for DE (just enough to sync MM’s duration with its CD) and offload the rest of the 9 trash points to Increase MDef. Still quite viable due to Chinq skills and Indulgentia, but less so now than before (especially against bosses).
Thanks!
