Unfamiliar build: can I still go Paladin?

Class and Rank Cleric
#1

Hello everyone, so right now I am:
Cleric 2>Krivis 1>Priest 1
stats 17 STR, 60 CON, 75 INT, SPR 70, DEX 3
lvl 110

I was originally planning on going Plague Doctor, but I am just Priest 1 and the class leveling is extremely low; it’s not that I’m not used to leveling slow, I have played Ragnarok Online for years, but with this game and the build I am going, it is a little boring, specially when doing quests on solo.

My friend hooked me up with this build http://www.tosbase.com/tools/skill-simulator/build/z1xxorcl7c/
It is basically most of the skills and stats I have except STR; my questions are, if I start to level up only STR from now on, will I make a both support and attack Paladin (given that I am Priest 1)? at least something more fun than going Krivis2 and then Priest2?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry but I must say that build you are following is terrible.

I’m a big fan of alternative builds, but there are many things wrong with that guide that you need to re-consider:

  • Splitting stat points into both STR and INT isn’t very recommended. It’s better you either only pick magical dmg classes and focus on INT or pick physical dmg classes and focus on STR (or DEX). This game lets you pick your classes on each class change so it’s almost pointless to make a hybrid STR/INT build picking both magical and physical dmg classes when you could instead just focus on one thing and be much stronger. Also, I don’t think there’s a single skill that benefits from both STR and INT together.

  • I (personally) don’t like splitting an offensive stat with SPR either. To me, SPR builds are good with SPR skills like stone skin and zalciai but on a more focused spr/con build. Some people argue SPR is a necessity for higher mana pool but I only find that valid for VERY mana hungry classes like bokor with effigy spam.

  • Zalciai magic amp doesn’t help much when you’re past level 100. You probably won’t even bother buffing yourself with zalciai if you’re purely doing it for the magic amp.

  • Barrier doesn’t even work on pvp, sorry but the guy who made that build has no idea what he’s talking about.

  • If you go Paladin C3, please max resist elements. That skill is the best Paladin support skill (though its not super awesome, its the best they have) and it’s getting a super sweet buff of 2.5% elemental dmg reduction per skill level in kToS (which will actually make it awesome).

All that being said, you can still go paladin, but I personally wouldn’t pick Paladin C1 at rank 5. In my opinion, you can either: keep focusing on INT and magic damage, OR, start focusing on SPR and pure support.

If you pick the first option, I’d say to get one more krivis circle then go for druid. It’s not uncommon to have one circle in priest for ressurection which would help you in GvG and end game content.

If you pick the second option, I would tell you to focus everything on SPR and get priest 3. You’d have a nice zalciai and stone skin, and you could pick PD for awesome pvp support as well. Considering you’d be a full support, you’d have some trouble leveling solo, however.

I don’t think a Paladin C3 would fit well in your build now. You would miss out on the rank 7 classes, which are pretty nice. Paladin C1 or C2 isn’t worth going for (not in your case) and effectively you’re trading either kabbalist or PD for priest C1 or krivis C1 (which is a horrible tradeoff).

Thanks a lot, you made me up my mind…
that said, I think I will go Krivis2->Priest2->Plague Doc (and I’m supposed to lvl up INT right?) although it levels up sooo slow.

#4

You can pick INT for zaibas and cure/heal damage to help you solo a bit. Those skills won’t be optimal on end-game content though because you won’t have them level 15 and most wizards or archers will out damage you by a lot.

So yeah, you can pick INT for solo effectiveness or alternatively you can pick CON and struggle even more to solo but also be a harder to kill support.

If you pick that path, don’t give up on your Cafrisun set. Stick with it at least till level 200 as to boost your basic attacks to do quests easier.

Oh…
well, coming from Ragnarok Online, it makes sense that wizards and archers make the most damage…
just tell me, for Plague Doctor, what stats should I level up? I really would appreciate it if you can help me on this

I’m not really a PD so I might not be the best person to answer this, but:

PDs by themselves only have incineration to deal damage. Incineration damage is boosted by INT (i believe), therefore, it’s the only stat that directly affects their damage.

That being said, since you’d only have incineration, zaibas lv 10, cure lv 10 and heal lv 10 to deal damage, you might want to consider boosting your CON instead of INT, especially if you focus on a more PvP oriented build.

#7

I don’t really care for PVP at all so … I guess INT3:CON1:SPR1 sounds right?

#8

I personally would ditch the SPR. It would only benefit your zalciai and I see more INT or more CON being more useful than SPR.

You can keep increasing your SPR, though, that’s not a huge deal.

#9

u can just keep that krivis at c1 just for the daino skill and reserve another circle for priest c3 or another job class at rank 7

#10

This is for all classes, only get SPR if you have skills that scale with SPR AND you regularly use them.

[deprotect zone] - SPR to def reduction (can’t go below 0 def though)
[zalciai] - SPR to + crit damage (not crit rate) and - crit resist (can go below 0).
[monstrance] - SPR to def and evasion reduction
"new" [blessing] - SPR to additional damage

Are you using Cafrisun set?

Priest is one of the easiest classes to level once you get Blessing, Sacrament, Cafrisun.

You have 3 lines of basic attack right there. All buffed by Blessing and Sacrament. Get an Arde Dagger and leveling will be a breeze.

Even at Priest 1 you have 2 lines of basic attack, and self buffs so you don’t even need to stop and go to town to buy buffs.

Many players across many classes leveling through buying Blessing and Sacrament + Cafrisun. Pre lvl 100 is a breeze for them.
