So I’ve been playing cleric > priest 2 as full str. I’m approaching 4th rank and am deciding between sadhu and paladin. At this point it seems like neither are all that useful for monk and I was wondering which option would make this levelling grind easier. At this point i’ll choose either and would even be willing to stat reset to make progression faster.
Paladin would be more useful to monk then sadhu by ALOT. and is also heavily str based
You could go back to cleric circle2 for safety wall and divine might, or go priest 3 for more sacrament, blessing, revive, stone skin, mass heal, etc.
I’ve heard blessing and sacrament scale very poorly into the lategame, which makes it much less appealing to me to go priest 3 right now
Safety wall 10 is pretty darn good, being able to block 20 attacks is nice. Divine Might 5 only raises skill by one but it does it for your whole party so that will be a decent party skill.
In case you were considering cleric2
It’s a lie. They’re amazing. Priest C3 is also very good. Just lvl up your blessing attribute.
do you think levelling as priest 3 would be easier in comparison to paladin? I am not clear on how physical attack abilities work in this game so I am unsure how much smite would improve my levelling speed
Smite is good / not sure how useful it would be after you become a monk because double punch is crazy but resist elements is really good for pvp.
does it scale with str? or would it benefit more from high dex?
Another thing I was considering was picking up sadhu and using a reset for int, until I reach monk
im not to sure what smites formula is but if you did go sadhu all its skills would be useless after you became monk except maybe 1
I’m current Priest C3 Monk right now and my advice is
- blessing only good if you manage to learn 50 attribute and max it at lv 15 as well as sacrament lv 10
- blessing apply to any attack skills, even wizard’s magic
- sacrament may increase a little damage but not anymore with lv 15 + 50 attribute blessing (your physical damage + sacrament damage in one hit)
- sacrament max duration is 6 min
- many monster you met in game are weak to holy damage, some dungeon gonna be very easy
- don’t forget monstrance 20+ Dex buff can rise your cri rate when you use double punch
keep that in mind for blessing only last 45 second (you gonna cast a lot) and sacrament do not apply to your punch or any skill once you become a monk (you still use auto attack anyway since double punch eats stamina really fast)
oh and Revive is very useful when fighting boss or PVP (invisible time)

Yeah I did consider that. I figured sadhu would provide some mobility and utility in the knockdown / confusion. Do you think full int sadhu would level faster than str/dex pala though?
im playing the sadhu side and my friends playing paladin so my paladin knowledge is second hand. But he seems to have a easier time then me because he doesn’t have to worry about positioning in a safe place. he just derps in with his plate armor and smashes away.

are you doing sadhu with int? or building into monk? which of you seems to do higher damage? Thanks also for all the quick responses this is very helpful to me
im doing int i plan to stay sadhu till the end. his smite def puts up better burst then me but i think i have him beat on over all dps with Oob.
Omg all the Ts i thought the same guy is replying himself 
i guess blessing will be useless in late game since it’s plain atk bonus, not scaled.
cbt only up to lv200 so it’s fine…
give back my divine might 
I Would suggest you go for Priest C3, and max your bless and sacrament, it help me a lot. Get a shieldbreaker Blunt weapon, and you are good to go!
Oh wow this is something. Sacrament won’t apply to your attacks once you become a Monk? Then what’s the point of even getting it and being a branch of the Monk class? It would be nice if ICM would consider the skill to be stackable with Monk attacks.
It applies to your basic attacks like every other class it just doesn’t apply to skills like doublepunch
Also keep in mind that blessing applies damage to EVERY damage tick. In my group we always have Pyro fire enchant and Sacrament up plus blessing. My blessing currently gives 56 damage but because we do a regular attack, fire attack, and holy attack per swing, that’s a total of 168 extra damage per swing already at blessing 10 with barely any attribute upgrades. Our pyro also mentioned he saw the buffs apply to his spells.
A str based Full Support priest is pretty capable so far. I was able to solo Underground Chapel Boss with one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EC2K5tfvOxk&feature=youtu.be
