That is my (pvp) build:
I am currently Rank5 with Lv14 Class, can you guys help me what is better, Pardoner (Discerning Evil) or Priest (Resurrection)?
I also am in doubt if I take Hexing Lv15 and Mackangdal Lv5 or Hexing Lv10 and Mackangdal Lv10.
I thank anyone who can help me in this.
Instead of priest i’d say take druid
I really don’t like Druid.
taking pardoner for discerning evil at rank6 is an option. some will say it isn’t good but it’s always an option.
But Discerning Evil is good in PvP? And is worth lose a Rank only for this?
Imo for pvp it’s between oracle and priest, not anything else.
Oracle can prevent cc and help survive mages with counterspell. It’s a pretty good r6 pvp class.
Priest can res once, and blessing helps with dmg upfront.
Where as:
Pardoner’s discern evil is quite frankly overkill. Most enemies will die within said duration, the only benefit is that enemies you kill transfer their duration to other nearby enemies. And it’s not like the cd is to long for either skill. Condi removal is decent, but does not prevent cc’s like oracle does.
Druid has decent dmg, but circles can be destroyed by quite a few builds. Enemies also run out of it quite quickly. Not worth it imo.
ps, hexing lvl 10 is fine. Max mackangdal for more invuln.
for pvp i don’t know because im only interested in the pve aspect of the game. and discernign evil is used to extend the duration of incinerate by 10secs. that 5 debuff stacks in one skills. but i don’t know how that will work for pvp. maybe oracle is the way to go for pvp since they have something that protects you from magic.
But counterspell is that good? Or ress is better?
Counterspell’s is very situational, great vs wizards & int clerics. Often useless vs swordsman/archers.
Prophecy is very nice though, prevents a lot of conditions.But not as needed due to plague doctor.
Priest res on the other hand can turn the tide of a battle, so don’t underestimate that either. But you will be easier to kill.
They’re quite both good, just for different reasons.
Thanks to everyone who answered me!
I think I’ll go to Oracle.
I got the same problems you do, here are my thoughts:
For a PvP ONLY Bokor, Bokor 3 is not needed since you won’t be using Zombies in arena and Effigy 10 is enough, Samedi 5 and Mack 1~5 are pretty good too.
Despite that, Damballah with a level 10+ Zombify (100% uptime = Damballah every 10 seconds) can do good damage at ET, Saalus and Uphill Defense, or any other Static dungeon such as those that may come in the future. That makes Bokor 3 100% PvE since both Oracle and Priest brings more to the table PvP-wise since you don’t have Zombies there.
Prophecy is not needed on a PD build but it can free you some point granted you don’t want protection agains level 2/3 status ailments. Most problematic stuff is level 1 to be honest. Counterspell is very good on PvP but mostly situational, can grant you a battle if you land it on SZ + 2 Heal blocks for example but has 90 seconds cooldown.
Resurrection revives 1+ allies within it’s range, you can revive the whole team if they are all together. Aspersion is +28% defense to your team, Blessing +170 damage to every tick and monstrance +30% dex for physical attackers.
Right now I’m going the same path as you, though I’ve taken Priest before Bokor 3 since I’m still deciding between Miko, Bokor 3, Oracle and Pardoner, in this order, I just would never trade Priest 1.
Also, I’d call it the Shinigami build, the God of life and death.
I like Bokor 3, Samediveve give me +13 mov speed, that is really good, and Mackangdal 10 give me 20s invincibility, is really good too, maybe priest is better then Bokor 3 for PvP, but I like my build.
Samedi only gives you half it’s full bonus, which yould be 7 at level 11, it can already give you 4 at level 5.
Mackangdal only gets +5 seconds, which is not much for a whole rank.
IF Miko is bad, I’m going Cleric 2 > Bokor 3 > Priest > PD 2 most likely too and I think it’s a pretty good build at both PvP and PvE.
if im not mistaked discerning evil increasses duratrion of cc also
It increases the duration of all debuffs and negative status effects.
