I’m curious, where is taoist thread?
u can create 1 
…
IMO, only few people wants this class. I had one and stopped playing since its too expensive. And Inquisitor is far better than Taoist.
well we don’t have toaist thread but we have toaist build in Miko thread lol.
I’m building a Cleric2 Krivis3 x x Taoist atm 
is the class that unpopular? Inquisitor seems more physical type damage dealer, which I’m not really interested in atm (would rather go Fencer).
well for magic dps type.
krivis+taoist is strong. But druid3’s stronger lol.
also
Taoist need to burn money for use skill
while
Druid3 didn’t.
no wonder. until imc discount cost of Yellow Sheet. or when miko’s coming.(everyone who take miko can’t go to druid3 that’s one of reason)
Rank 8 cleric, most popular are Inquisitor & plague doc 2.
Some druid 3.
Unpopular:
-Oracle 3
-Taoist
-Kabbalist 2
Taois is waaay better then oracle 3 or kabba.
It is a good standalone class for both boss hunting and meltis is must have in end game contest 5man in most set up.
Oracle 3 is a feauture class of the game
and for kabba we need to see how kabba3 is gonna looks like.
Inquisitor is a funny class in pve (I do like my melee clerics) but it’s not a serious end game char in PvE IF you want to do stuff like ET and if you dont, lets be honest, any rainbow build will carry you, tos is a casual game mainly 
(I have seen such horrible chars that I still feel like a need to throw up, but they randomly leech and they don’t even realize, so I guess it’s fine <3 )
The problem is the usual thing, cleric 2 diev 3 XXX is wayyyy better then anything else, power wise
taoist is still too expensive to upkeep. Even with the "balance"
I have calculated the cost of a taoist general usage + ET it’s extremely scary, but undeniably it’s one of the best combi up there.
Since it provides a free cloak, and most intended to take krivis before so a free zaibas nuke + meltis. In between are 2 choice of filler so lel. mostly going miko/X or XX combi (driud)
i’m nearing a taoist, and resigning myself that i be pissing away silver for the sake of feeling good while calling a lightning storm
Well the cost for it its so expensive to the point i hardly use creeping death , only in gvg for panic/urgent purpose xD
I only use storm now which is fine for me now since zaibas has a like 15-20++ cd ?
But ye i hope imc reduce its cost/weight , a paper cost 7 weight heavier than a diev wood tht weights 1 … Paper is made out of wood lol
I’m going for Krivis 3 on my alt atm, would choosing another path be better for me?
Krivis3 > Priest > PD > Taoist was my original plan for ET. Any good alternatives?
Krivis3 > Priest > PD2
Krivis3 > Druid3 (no rez though)
Stats right now are full INT with a tiny bit of CON. Still lvl124.
C2 Krivis 3 Priest 3 full spirit (no joke)
C2 Krivis 3 Paladin 1 (restoration double all the healings for int chars plus u keep up resist elements 24/7 with meltis, plus u should go max auka at R8 no matter what - gem +1 skill lvl recommended) priest (if u want ress, c3 for oscene healing potential) taoist
On ET you can really go wild on your combo sup, all depends on the set up and what you want to do with it. The 1st C2 diev 3 priest 1 PD 2 (or druid 3) is kinda must have, then the second cleric basically have 3 ranks of krivis and 3 ranks of utility open to anything. BUT if you do roll a krivis 3 couz u want to sup is a thing, if you roll a taoist couz u want to be a taoist it’s another thing
If you want a stand alone char I dont suggest PD as filler, you will not wear the new necklace couz krivis, and overall I dont think is worth the filler for just healing factor on an INT cleric.
So go for standard K3 Druid 2 taoist
Or go wild and think about something good for your ET krivis 3 set up (so taoist is optional)
Dont go k3 druid 3, you have the diev 3 for that :3
Thanks for the suggestion! For the Priest3 with full SPR build, I kinda already plan another character for that (I love clerics too much), so for this Krivis alt I don’t think I’ll be getting Priest3.
My friend is doing C2 Diev3 Priest1 PD2, so I’m doing the Krivis part.
If I take Krivis3 Druid2 Taoist, is it okay that only one cleric will have Rez? Or what about Krivis3 Priest1 Druid2?
Thanks~
Point is you need taoist to do damage with krivis, and druid 2 is the best filler thx for the transformation to boost lighting dmg more.
Without taoist, you are pretty lock to a support build (at r8 you can just skip zaicai since the damage scalin of only krivis 3 is BAD), and druid it’s picked to sinergy even more on the damage side due to transformation.
IF you plan to play a lot with a diev 3 priest in end game, you can consider an hybrid C2 Krivis 3 XX taoist build
Optional: 200 spirit to cap zalciai (highter crit res in the game is nullfied with around 220 spirit)
fillers:
- Paladin 1 for resto and resist elements (aukaras lvl 15+resto+healing factor is a really nice combo, plus resist elements inside meltis is nice, plus the nullify attributes)
- Cleric 3: 16 tiltes and new guardian spirit
- Oracle: counterspell and forecast
- Miko: more damage, more divine might, easy totems for the diev (even if I dont like it with krivis, double channel kappa)
- kabba: is this a pve class?
- PD1: mainly for healing factor, but still.
- Priest: ress him! (+ monstrance for your phisical chars without using scrolls)
- Priest 2: more ress
For example this can be a random hybrid set up (spirit split, tankish with revhisian bracelet, wall sage, max peta over the DPS jewel and didel tower)
All this fillers are gonna give you a much better utility then druid at cost of damage. Honestly it’s kinda up to u, no one is really better then the other in papercraft (aside from druid 2 for DPS)
So atm, I have 5pts in Storm, 1pt in Dark Sight, 1pt in Demons Begone.
now what?
Do I max tri-disaster? Creeping Death?
Creeping Death looks too expensive to use, triple overheat, 3x talisan, 4500 silver for a full spam, ouch.
Creeping Death should be more usable on rank 9 or 10 contents when the 4500 silver are less painful to throw away. So if you plan to go Taoist3, you should have Creeping Death. However, Tri-disaster should be suitable for support Taoist and don’t require Taoist 2 or 3 to be useful.
Cleric1 krivis3 random druid3 taoist should have the best damage until taoist 3 comes out?
Optional: 200 spirit to cap zalciai (highter crit res in the game is nullfied with around 220 spirit)
I thought the crit res reduction from Zalciai only scales with level and doesn’t scale with SPR at all?
EDIT: Holy mother of necro. Didn’t realize this thread was 1year old when I replied. My bad.

you totally right but it was the case before the big rebalance (with krivis 1, a classic in the buffer build for daino, with only 5 points you could remove all the crit def of the monster with 100% uptime).
Regarding Tao 1:
To be honest, the only good spells are Dark Sight (a one point skill) to cheese some floors in ET and Storm calling for bonus damage on Lightning type and melee damages (the focuses of these extension).
Capping Begone demon at 620% which is really low is really a shame (feels like Merka locked at 5 points for oblivious reasons) and kinda lower the damage potential of the class.
Tao 1 is pretty decent overall and is a good filler for druid builds.
Regarding Tao interaction:
One of the only few interactions of Tao is with Krivis but… Krivis isn’t really insane at that moment. Even with the rebalance, the class feels clunky without real goals neither a support or a mage. Zaibas is like it was before, weak weak and weak. Even with divine stigmata, the damages aren’t even near bokor or sadhu levels. Divine stigmata cooldown also doesn’t match with zaibas one which is really frustratting.
Regarding Tao 2
The Tao C2 skills are completely garbage:
Most of the cleric spells were changed to already hit flying monsters rendering “Upper level” at the edge of being useless.
Divine punishment is a real joke: 3 sec casting time for a MONO hit on a MONO target. Yes the SR% is absurd but 3 sec is kinda like the life time of most of the bosses of the content. The cooldown is also way to long.
Creeping death charm 10 is a decent spell with a lot of damage per charge but its problems are the lack of reliability (it is moving really slowly), the SP cost (1200 SP per cycle ) and is demanding a lot of efforts to pull off all the potential (exploding it at the right timing) .
The C2 attribute of storm calling is really a toy to feels like the interaction with krivis is a good idea (which is not like I said before)
Tao C2 is like Inqui C2, a few more points in the different skills and hopes that C3 will be better…
-Plague doctor is always better, in support, in damage and utilities and spells are “silver” free. There is no REASON, absolutely 0 reason to take Tao over plague doctor.
-Kabba 3 with coordinated party is superior in support (SP battery for everyone) and offer really heavy damage potentials with Gevura and Double chance (double chance on dragon soar is really insane). Kabba3 is supposed to be a garbage class and imo it is unclear if it is really inferior to Tao.
-Zealot / Inqui are so much better in every compartment of the game (PVE/PVP) in term of damage of gaming tools
-Druid3 offers more damage and support potential (invul without number of hots for a good duration, anyone?).
I actually play a C2/Krivis3/Diev/Kabba/Tao 2 and the build feels Okayish and is definitely playable. It has a lot of great points for challenge mode: cdr, sp reduction, sp regen from Dieb, Sp pot from kabba, decent aoe clean with Zaibas and Stormcalling but the good points aren’t coming from Tao…
