Hi all! At work now and will only be able to download the patch later. Wanted to “crowd source” on comments for this though. The following is the skill build I had in mind (again this is full SPR):
Is this recommendable?
Test yourself and share your opinion with us. I had the same idea, and tested, I enjoyed.
Before rank 9 I played with chap doctor SPR based, and now with PD c3 not having a new damage skill, I thought it would be better to choose inquisitor.
It does not have an op damage like damage based classes, but I was able to farm in new HG 340 without problems, I only took more time than dps classes.
Because I haven’t tested other cleric builds, I can’t tell you if its damage is good, compared with the cleric builds.
As a support is really good, due to priest, chaplain and PD.
The choice depends of how is your playstyle, of what you are expecting in terms of gameplay.
Now about your skill distribution, I suggest you to take out some points of aspersion and sacrament, because it is available trough pardoner spell shop (100% the value of the seller). And you could put at least one point in stone skin, and more points in revive, and mass heal. If you say how you intend to play, I think I can give you more tips.

Yes, it’s fine.
You’ll get enough damages, accuracy, and DEX from other sources (like your gear), so going full SPR is fine even if later on you take more DPS-oriented classes.
I agree with Kalahari on your skill points though. They’re not spread wisely. Especially for your Priest circles. Is it your first time building a Priest-Chaplain ?
- Resurrection is level 4 (5 with Divine Might) or 5. It’s almost an instant cast. While you res your party is still in need of a support, so nobody has the time to wait 5 seconds for a Resurrection.
- Aspersion you only need it at level 1 so you can use your Chaplain’s Aspergillum. You don’t use Aspersion as a buff. If you want the PDEF from it, you buy it from a Pardoner’s shop. It will give a much better PDEF and you save skill points (also everybody buys it already so your party will never need yours).
- You need Revive at least at level 5. Before that it’s too bad. The person will die right after they revived.
- Monstrance 1 is good to boost people’s DEX, giving extra block penetration and attack speed. Since there’s no more buffs limits, you can use it all the time too. It’s a 1 point wonder~
- There’s not really any point getting Deploy Capella now. It used to be more worth it when Stone Skin gave raw block. Capella made it so your team could be constantly immune to physical damages. People already buy 1h maxed Aspersion and Sacrament from shops, so your Capella would only be useful for Blessing and Monstrance. It’d take you longer to set up Capella than to cast these two buffs.
- Mass Heal 1 can be enough since it’s already 10%, but if you have the extra points, Mass Heal 10 is really useful in more difficult situations (especially to use for yourself)
- Stone Skin, it depends on you. It’s not bad to have, but it isn’t useful that often. I think it’s a good extra skill to have, but not something to focus on.
- You want Exorcise 1 to use Magnus Exorcismus, of course.
For Priest this is basically the minimum “must have” of the skills: https://tos.neet.tv/skill-planner#41222.152534.11213f4551657191
Then you have 15 points you can put wherever you want (more Mass Heal ? Stone Skin ? Exorcisme ? Sacrament ?)
For Plague Doctor, you don’t need such a big Pandemic. Half of that is more than enough~
You definitely need Bloodletting though. It’s just the best skill to protect from debuffs. Level 1 at least, personally I like to max it because it’s easy to find the extra skill points, and you don’t have to bother about debuffs for the party.

I thought it was a good idea to max it since Aspergillium feeds off it. Also, I didn’t know that buff limits have been lifted!
Hi Goldie! Just wanted to respond to this in a bit more detail, hope you can indulge.

I had the idea that SPR scales well with Aspersion, and that Aspergillium feeds off the level of your Aspersion. Since I wanted to focus on good AA damage, I thought it was a good idea to max it. Am I wrong?
-
Same with Sacrament-Last Rites. Now I know that it will sacrifice quite a number of points from other skills, but I thought getting Healing Factor from PD would make up for it.

I have been playing Chap for quite a while, and in my case, ME really sucks as a damage skill so I ended up dispensing away with it. So I disagree that it is a “must have.” (also, Exorcise 1 isn’t really practicable if you want a more efficient use of ME, from my experience. 4 or 5 would be more recommendable)
Made some changes accordingly: http://www.tosbase.com/tools/skill-simulator/build/eqrr859lw4/
Yeah, they lifted the buff limits in the last patch 
Oh, because of this Krivis’ Daino now turn AA attacks into magical AA. Maybe this might interest you since you’re going for an AA build ?
It’s not wrong at all, it’s really more that Priests have a lot of good skills and in a party they’re also supposed to support, that’s why. But in the build I sent you you have 15 free points, so you can max Aspersion with that if it’s the path you choose.
Note that SPR only affects how much PDEF you’ll boost. So the fact you’re full SPR won’t boost your Aspersion/Aspergillum even more.
Unlike Aspersion-Aspergillum, Sacrament doesn’t boost the damages much. You’d gain much more DPS by leveling Exorcise a bit to use Magnus Exorcismus. But if you don’t like it it’s ditchable. Enjoying the build is always what matters the most~
And yes, you need at least 2 points in Exorcise for it to be more easily used for ME. Level 1 is just the minimum required to even be able to use ME.
I’m still bothered by the Revive 2 though XD But if you’re only solo, I guess it’s fine. It’s more problematic in harder party contents.

Wait, did they changed exorcise? Iirc, lv1 hits 1 time, lv2 hits 2 times, so forth. I read the description, now higher level is just higher damage? That would make comboing with ME much easier…
It still only hits 5 monsters at level 5.
You aren’t wrong.
Prior to the blessing change it would be a questionable decision, but now that the hit cap is removed you can just default pardoner blessing and dump all those points in Aspersion and be perfectly fine.
Only time it makes sense to get 15 blessing on your active priest, is if your SPR is high enough to beat out pardoner buffs, or if you want to do TBL/PVP.
