Too late to go Bokor?

Class and Rank Cleric
#1

Hey Everyone,

I’ve been leveling up a C1 Cleric/C1 Priest and I’m about to get my 3rd rank. I originally planned on making a Chaplain build, (C1 Cleric, C3 Priest, Chaplain, C2 Druid) but after looking again at the classes, I’m really wanting to switch it up to Bokor instead (thinking C2 Cleric, C1 Priest, C3 Bokor, C1 Plague).

That being said, every build I’ve looked up for Bokor does not use Priest, they use Krivis. Is priest just a terrible choice for Bokor? Should I reroll if I want to go Bokor and pick Krivis or C2 cleric? I would obviously prefer not to reroll but I don’t wanna play a class that offers nothing to a Bokor build.

Oh, and I’ve been leveling stats 3 int: 1 con.

Thanks for any advice/help guys!

Priest is the worst class to build into Bokor but it can get somethings different. With Priest, you can have Monstrance that will make your zombies miss less often on some Mobs with high evasion. You can use Blessing on your zombies with a little bit worse than Krivis’s Zaibas when you want to kill Mobs to get the zombies. You can get Resurrection and Aspersion which are the useful spells. In higher level, Blessing is gonna not scale well but Zaibas is also the same.

About Cleric c2, I think you should go to Oracle c1 instead. Oracle have more utility spells and can do some debuffs which will benefit PD later.

Imo, you should build this one or similar one.

It depends on what you want to do. Do you want to build a support character? Do you want to be a damage dealer? Since you were trying to make a Chaplain, I’d assume you want to be a support, right?

Certain classes fit certain roles better, and that makes certain paths easier to take depending on what you want to do better. Knowing that is essential before we can suggest any build for you :slight_smile:

Ahh okay. I’ll be honest, I was under the impression chaplain was kind of a support/damage role, a mix of the two. I was planning on going Chaplain into C2 druid to get more damage to further emphasize the mix. So I would like to do decent damage but I would be open to support if that’s what I forced myself into by picking priest.

I think your build is all right. Taking Priest over Krivis will make you slightly more supporty. Krivis c1 is kind of lacking any ways. Zaibas doesn’t get good until Krivis c2.

Your current build, IMO, is better than your first build as well. If you take Priest c3/Chaplain you typically want to also take Krivis to increase your party’s buff count.

Personally, I wouldn’t re-roll. There is going to be a lot of balancing coming our way, so unless your build is really messed up (which I do not think it is), I would wait until after that before re-rolling. If you re-roll now you may just end up re-rolling again once things get balanced a bit more.

Yeah, I just don’t see much sinergy between Priest and Bokor. From what I see, Priest’s damage comes from autoattacks, with all the boosts it can give to themselves, so I’m not sure it that fits a full INT build such as yours.

In the other hand, after researching a lot in the boards, I found a build used in kTOS that is Cleric > Priest c3 > Chaplain > Krivis > Plague Doctor that deals heavy “melee” damage using INT. It works by maxing out Aspersion and Aspergillum at Chaplain, so that each autoattack splashes your lvl 15 Aspersion in the face of enemies. Together with Blessing and Sacrament from Priest it deaks neat damage with each mace swing, while being very sturdy thanks to Safety Zone, Stone Skin and all the heals you have.

The build seems very neat, if you have interest on it I could share it with you. It works as an INT melee damage dealer that is also an amazing support, so that’s an interesting concept. But I think that the build is pretty hard to level before you get to Chaplain. Anyway, it fits what you were expecting out of Chaplain.

To sum it up: The way for Priest to deal damage with INT doesn’t have good synergy with Bokor, since Priest skills don’t work well with it as far as I can see. If you really want to go for Bokor though, you can substitute Krivis in the build I mentioned above and go for it, and focus on Effigy spam. But I’m having a hard time seeing your single Priest circle being more usefull than, say, Cleric c2 (10 tiles of Heal make a huge difference when compared to just 5 tiles).

I’d advise you to stick to the Chaplain plan and go for a more damage-oriented approach, or leave this character in the backburner while you level something else, waiting for balance changes. Who knows, maybe they’ll nerf Stone Skin.
