#

Sea server

brave surge
#

i mean which spot haha

spark vapor
#

Near teleport

#

In the fountain area

#

There’s vending calles weapon,shoes bis if im not mistaken

#

Im not online rn so I couldn’t check for you

brave surge

kk

#

what's the difference between shield bash/throw and the typical paladin build?

#

is there a large dps difference?

spark vapor
#

Yes, shield bash>shield throw with new shield

#

The calculation already did by @median quarry you ccan check the details above or yoyu can ask him

cerulean bane
#

i mean, what's the difference between this guide and the caster build

#

like does one do more dmg than the other? survivability? easy of play?

spark vapor
#

I played both of caster and SB/ST build, in my opinion for survivability against bosses caster is better, but for dmgs i prefer st/sb build especially against holy enemies. But these 2 builds are pretty decent depending how you play, just find your builds that you fun to play. In the end paladin is very good class beside weaver rn.

For mobbing caster definetely good in huge mob like at nexus but back again just play whaterever build you find fun for you to play

cerulean bane
#

hard part is, you don't really know how either plays until you invested gold into the build and trying it yourself lol

spark vapor
#

Already tried bossing against SQ, i prefer sb/st for faster kill but i have to moving a lot rather than when im using caster build

#

For grinding i prefer caster build to gather mats, equip to sell. Like for example, i can gather 35-40 mobs at once in nexus to farm and thats pretty fast to gather the mats rather than when im using st/sb

spark vapor
#

With this build against Queen Worm, I hit 28k~ish for ST and 104k~ish for SB without priest buff

spark vapor
#

With this build against Death Mage, I hit 24k~ish for ST and 91k~ish for SB without priest buff

drifting tendon

#

All good brother, just take your time, better using caster build to farm eq or mats to sell and then buy those gems, its pretty much cheap rn. I got my spike gem for only 29m today

median quarry
#

don't put extra points into spear mastery. do use spear quicken though, it gives atk spd which makes it easier to hit 170 atk spd cap for ST

#

if anyone wants to buy #1449935778531643452 message

Good Doom crescent

river gazelle
karmic pine
#

The flavor text on spear quicken is kinda irrelevant. The skill itself is just a buff and has no weapon restriction to use

river gazelle
#

oh ok thank you

#

and i guess at least spear mastery gives +hp per rank

drifting tendon

#

gc/jb build has been nerfed a little on the new patch

#

man mana leech and hp leech feels very good right now

karmic pine
#

GC/JB should be stronger no? Just can't run sacrifice but the damage on ability should be stronger

hoary stag
#

im regening more now than the on hit ones before

zealous granite
#

Hey guys, have you checked out the new patch? Do you think it affects our build a lot?

median quarry
#

not much

#

it might be harder to maintain Sacrifice with this build, it already was kinda hard

#

tankiness and mana sustain might change slightly but i haven't felt it out enough to determine if it's better or worse

karmic pine
#

I'm fully using sacrifice with just this

median quarry
#

leech works better with more hits per second so SB may need more leech than ST

#

i think? 🤔

karmic pine
#

maybe but leech caps at a point, so as long as you keep hitting you should be at your leech cap of 20% max hp

median quarry
#

i put +8 bloodbound and 2x nightfangs on, no bloodfang, and proceeded to kill myself at the dummy relatively fast

karmic pine
#

sanctify?

median quarry
#

errr no Facepalm i forget how to play sanc because i never do, 1sec

karmic pine
#

i die without it, it should be enough

median quarry
#

yeah lol sanc+bloodbound is enough to sustain sac, nice. feels like less gear req than pre-patch, is that right? it is a bit sketchier vs mobs but if you dont pull too large you proly wont die, just like without sanc

karmic pine
#

I was using my build through Turtle nexus and has 0 issues

median quarry
#

I think I'd officially recommend using sacrifice now

karmic pine
#

ya i gotta fix my guide lol

median quarry
#

Full skills with 5 points to spare for w/e. We use sacrifice+sanctify now, with bloodbound or bloodfang for leech. Can turn it off if mobs are kicking your ass.

Toggleable Buffs: Sacrifice (dmg at cost of health), Conviction/Defiance Aura (pick dmg or def aura)
Duration Buffs: Sanctify (for sacrifice sustain), Endure, Fortify, Holy Shield, Spear Quicken, Reflect Shield, Haste (1m duration 25% move speed)

#

You can sustain sacrifice even if you holy enchant your wep like I have done. Though if you have holy gem and holy helm as well, you might not be able to sustain easily with just bloodbound+sanctify.

karmic pine
#

Vitality aura might be good, not sure if the increased hp with sacrifice is better damage output than defiance aura, but it does have slight regen

median quarry
#

yeah worth testing

#

if you have 50k health, vitality aura adds 10k which is 200 more heals per second from cons

#

worth testing full plasma to see if it lets us tank endgame bosses as well

tardy halo
#

Do we know which mob drops throw gem now? Tried looking it up in wiki but no luck

karmic pine
#

should be in Sunken Temple

tardy halo
#

Sweet hopefully I can get a decent guardwall at the same time

zealous granite
#

@median quarry it’s harder to sustain MP now; on the other hand, HP is easier to maintain.

#

this is during a boss fight against Spider Queen

spark vapor
#

Shield bash gonna be op rn, 400%dmgs

zealous granite
spark vapor
#

350%

#

I haven’t test yet so i think its higher rn

#

Oh wait

#

Shield bass and bash are different?

#

Nvm we dont have any changes in dmgs then haha

karmic pine
#

no changes to SB/ST numbers, just JB/GC/DP

brave surge
#

it feels so nice now with leech change

#

is it just me

#

like I'm sustaining better

spark vapor
#

Yeah cuz of 100% chance leech i guess

brave surge
#

my warrior on the other hand is on the RIP side

#

gonna wait for advanced class there lmao

#

also mana leech is crazy rn

agile briar
#

Mana leech is just drooping bat for us? Or other stuff now post update i haven't logged in

karmic pine
#

I use eyeball mage on ST build, seems to be enough

brave surge
#

I use batlord

#

actually can have sacrifice perma on rn

#

maybe not on boss will see

median quarry
#

since we know we only need 170 atk spd, we can put enough points into int to get more mana sustain, so only 1x batlord/blue mage card is necessary

#

that was prepatch. i have heard mana sustain is harder postpatch. need to test more

brave surge
#

Having no mana issues rn

spark vapor
#

I dont have any mana issues actually even from before patch

brave surge
#

in a pack of mobs u get like 121 mana per tick so

spark vapor
#

And im not using soulfang

brave surge
#

does leech depend on dmg now

#

i mean mana leech

median quarry
#

yes

median quarry
spark vapor
#

Sweet i have more health leech now even that before the patch

karmic pine
#

oh huh he buffed it

median quarry
#

no more on hit affects, it had to be changed

spark vapor
#

Holyy, my SB hit 109k~ish with taunt, pala buff + sac to DM

#

and my ST hit 29k~ish

#

I dont have any mana issues

#

Only holy res 15% from leg

#

Just use your obsidian band imo cuz of new patch for leech

spare tartan
karmic pine
spark vapor
#

My SB hit 104k with taunt against SQ

#

ah ok, are we goign to have to make new characters once the game releases?

karmic pine
#

yes, #❓faq #🗺️roadmap

stiff sedge
#

any new tech?

karmic pine
#

not new but its easy to use sacrifice now

stiff sedge
#

nice

median quarry
# stiff sedge any new tech?

the holding down SB/ST strat may help you consistently hit optimal dps

  1. cast Shield Bash (use whenever it's off cooldown)
  2. Hold down Shield Throw key to cast ~2x Shield Throw quickly inbetween Shield Bashes
    Small SB tip: At step 4, it should be more optimal if you hold down ST, and briefly stop holding it down when SB goes off cooldown, then go back to holding down ST once you cast SB.
#

you can actually briefly hold both SB+ST and then let go of ST, and go back to holding ST once SB casts. it's a little funky, and i personally macro it, but it's relatively optimal

cerulean bane
#

is there a reason why 170 aspd in the goal?

median quarry
#

at 170 aspd you cast shield throw at the same rate as the global cooldown essentially

cerulean bane
median quarry
#

nice glad to hear it, same ive been happy with it. it might be too strong even

cerulean bane
#

Anyone got an extra shield throw gem they wanna sell? 😄
Gem isn't on the wiki yet

karmic pine
#

its in Sunken Depths

cerulean bane
#

been there past 2 hrs D:

karmic pine
#

also people probably sold off their extra Shield Throw gems for mad profit during the week it was removed from the drop table lol

#

you can check drop tables from the map screen lol

cerulean bane
#

bruh.

stiff sedge
#

so we no longer need bat lord card?

#

havent tested anything

cerulean bane
#

man.. pali is so fking dumb. lvl 98 w/ +6 gear and i can out farm my lv150 scout full +10 gear

#

and this was after multiple nerfs.

karmic pine
#

its still useful, not sure if 50+ int is enough to natural regen through Shield Throw Spam

#

tbf Scout is still base class

#

its something that keeps being brought up, don't compare base classes to advance. We'll see in a week (hopefully) once GS is out

spark vapor
#

Best using nightfang against SQ, SB hit 100k+ so as long you avoid the dissonance well you will kill the SQ

#

I found my dmgs went up after the patch so bossing using SB took faster time than before

little hare
#

Do you use plasma/night greaves for SQ

spark vapor
#

I used endurance greaves for dmg boosting but for survivability i think night greaves is better cuz of resistance but im not sure, haven’t try it yet

agile briar
#

I think I'm missing something, even if I take off my holy damage cards and stand in consecration, I die from sacrifice against training dummy. +9 bloodbound with leech roll, chest has healing roll. Do I just need bloodfang to use sac?

karmic pine
#

Are you using any Holy Resistance and Sanctify to reduce sacrifice damage?

agile briar
#

OOOOOOOOO sanctify, I will try again

#

Lol ok now I agree yes it's easy to sustain sacrifice now, thank you

drifting tendon
#

I can go like this ? i cant pay for bloodfang yet

#

and don't find Insect Carapace to buy

karmic pine
#

the lack of cards anywhere makes me sad

#

but yes bloodbound is enough to use sacrifice with as long as you're running Sanctify

drifting tendon
#

i dont know what cards i should use yet

agile briar
#

You need at least one mana sustain card like eyeball mage blue or bat lord, and you'll need at least one crit rate card like housefly junk or nom (until you level up more to max luk)

#

Besides those specifically just pick from here #1440558934107750410 message

drifting tendon
#

Now i just need to know how to spend my skill points

karmic pine
#

10 shield bash, 10 shield throw

agile briar
#

Scroll up just a little bit, Sakaiyo put their skill tree

drifting tendon
#

i'm gonna try now thanks guys

median quarry
#

Sanctify and one source of health leech is all you need for sacrifice now, but I also swapped holy res onto pants to improve sustain vs mobs. Haunt card. Move a few points from int to agi to keep 170 atk spd. As long as int is >= 50 you're fine (Assuming there's still a hidden 50 int mana sustain bonus, I'm trying to confirm)

drifting tendon
#

i gonna test

karmic pine
#

Assuming you leech enough damage with just nightfang... Sure

median quarry
#

there's also a decent chance the obsi band 10% reflect dmg is better than the 10 vit you get from endurance pants, so even if nightfang works it's not the optimal choice

agile briar
#

Is there anything else we could more easily swap for Crit rate if we dropped a weapon crit roll for the new 5% hp leech? or it seems every source of Crit we could trade for would be even more dmg loss

median quarry
#

it's needed if you're following the recommended gear stats but using a wep without crit

agile briar
#

No but that is an option, idk how 10% def card vs endurance pants would be

#

3vit2hp obsidian is definitely hard to find

drifting tendon
#

i tryind to buy and farm at same, but no sucess

median quarry
#

a less optimal obsidian band, or a vit safety gauntlet, may be a decent alternative for now

pseudo sphinx
#

First time trying out SB, can I have some advice on upgrades? Also for stats is it vit>def>hp>crit?

drifting tendon
#

find a good one

#

payed 4m, not that expensive

median quarry
#

4m not bad yeah since it's rare and no one farms them

drifting tendon
#

and i already spent 6h in demon maw kk

@median quarry Verrry small correction to the OP, but Safety Gauntlets > Safety Gloves.
Just so it's clearer that the Gloves can be warn alongside Endurance Gauntlets.

#

SB count for melee

tribal cliff
#

ST is ranged

spark vapor
#

ST coount for ranged damage

tribal cliff
#

but not worth replacing def/reflect gears with ranged dmg

#

yep

i see. thanks a lot

karmic pine
#

finally something

median quarry
#

nice, worth +ing

#

i found this really early but havent found anything better yet. i'm aiming for vit/heal rec/hp. theory is maybe the extra hp will help cons tank higher lvl bosses without having to wear as much actual tanky gear like plasma/night

karmic pine
#

ya same, vit/hp %/hp receiv is the perfect roll

agile briar
#

I don't know if healing received is good anymore (except consecrate) , it doesn't seem to increase the leech cap and we already hit the cap kinda ez

#

I think vit/def/hp or -magic% is best rolls for chest and shield now

karmic pine
#

it should work for getting to cap faster

#

which is good for bossing

agile briar
#

Against bosses aren't you always getting the max leech or when you dodge is it falling off

median quarry
#

from what i can tell, going from 10->18 healing rec is +4-5% health received from leech and +6% health receiving from cons

#

max leech is going to be around 20% base + 10-15% from gear leech = 30-35% of your max health, paladin is around 50k so 15k/sec

#

i imagine youre still below 15k/sec most of the time as paladin, is that right? so healing rec is still fully beneficial

karmic pine
#

its ultimately preference, +def for a bit more damage, -magic for some bosses.

agile briar
#

Hm youre right I'm still below the cap but I thought I was capping. But 1% leech is .5% hp cap, but thats a small difference should be near 13k cap still

median quarry
#

i need to double check dmg gain from +def but i think -magic or +hp is proly worth more

#

esp since reflect algorithm now halves def

karmic pine
#

it'd be very marginal, whats the max roll on +def? like 4 or 5?

median quarry
#

yeah

agile briar
#

5 yea

#

I was just under the impression healing received was a deal roll now but I'll revisit it

median quarry
#

ReflectDamage: (100 + DEF/2 + FlatDEF/2) * 4 * Reflect%

median quarry
#

(100 + DEF/2 + FlatDEF/2) * 4 * Reflect
for me:
DEF=348
FlatDEF=512
Reflect=163

so +5 def is 0.47% more dmg

#

hp or heal rec seems more worth over 0.47% dmg

agile briar
#

0.47%...... ima just take that as a win because I already upgraded my def pieces LOL

median quarry
#

that's 235 more dmg per hit if you do 50k with SB, 470 if you do 100k, if that helps frame it better

formal sequoia
#

for sacrifice i need to enchant holy on weapon ? ST build

median quarry
formal sequoia
#

so... why people use it on st ? xD im lost

median quarry
#

because you can still sustain sacrifice despite it, and elemental dmg (holy or otherwise) should be multiplicative with other dmg types

#

and lotsa high lvl mobs are shadow and have elemental weakness vs holy

formal sequoia
#

ahhhh, now i get it

#

its benefits the agains property basically

#

i was thinking that we gain extra damage with sacrifice on holy weapon

#

but it is agains mobs that are weak to holy

#

perfect ❤️ thx

tribal cliff
#

if you want high sacri dmg you need holy dmg +

#

so to maximize that you turn your ST/SB to holy tooo

#

and i think 9% sacri dmg is fixed

median quarry
#

yeah im not sure if holy dmg % affects sac, i'd be surprised cuz thatd be really strong, worth checking

tribal cliff
#

it does just tested, even better than carapace lol

median quarry
#

ooo nice

formal sequoia
#

so... i do need to enchant weaponm with holy ?

median quarry
#

so if you dont have a strong need for one specific element, use holy i guess

tribal cliff
#

yeah

#

rn im just farming at the forge

tribal cliff
#

still live rn

karmic pine
#

holy weapon element doesn't increase Sacrifice damage. +Holy damage does

median quarry
#

yeah im assuming anyone talking about enchanting wep is also adding element dmg % to the wep

median quarry
#

that makes holy bishop even more bis 🤔

#

make sure you have one of these if you dont yet

tribal cliff
#

paladin crest imo

#

get vit for hp and def+mdef

median quarry
#

need to test the 2

karmic pine
#

if you're trying to max holy damage yea, I still prefer crest for overall use

median quarry
#

paladin crest def more tankiness, but for dps i needa confirm how much of an upgrade white bishop is

tribal cliff
#

if any1 is on and have at least +9 vit3 hp2 i can try

median quarry
#

give me a few mins to test

#

14.7% more dmg from sacrifice though, so if you did a lot of really small numbers of dmg per hit for some reason, bishop might be better than. not expecting so given crest gives much more dmg to SB+ST

karmic pine
#

prob cause Vit scaling on bash is 3%

#

and the additional def

median quarry
#

yeah if you were playing full ST itd be less stark of a difference

agile briar
#

My highest on dummy is still bishop hood + archangel + 2skele card (a little higher than same cards + crest or creeper cards + crest). But kinda obvious if you're investing full in an element, the element hat is good

median quarry
#

hold on let me redo that test i had some incorrect cards

#

Holy Bishop +8 vs Crest +8, w/ sacrifice & 16% holy dmg enchanted wep (no holy gem):
SB+sacrifice: Holy Bishop is 6.30% more damage
ST+sacrifice: Holy Bishop is 7.37% more damage
Sacrifice: Holy Bishop is 14.7% more dmg (specifically for sacrifice)

#

Would be slightly less % difference if both are +10 (as vit should scale better than holy dmg especially for SB), and would be slightly less % if you have holy gem (due to diminishing returns)

where can we get spiked helm?

plush whale
#

my health is still getting melted, even with bloodbound + holy resist on legs + sanctify. For bosses you are almost invincible with the right resist cards and NOT using Sac. The only way i see to use sac against high end bosses is sacrificing damage to put more holy resist card on shield or chest plasma suit. I don't know if someone is getting sucess using sac on bosses without making some changes

plush whale

Where do I get ironshade helm?

is ST better than SB now?

Shouldn't the question be the other way around? ST was the better build, Bash just got a shield

very good shield

astral lantern
#

Is there any summary on how to swap gear at current patch? Or do i just have to swap shield ?

karmic pine
#

Difference between ST and SB build is pretty much just the shield. Though you could also have Melee Damage on Doom Crescent if going Bash

pseudo sphinx
#

Pre-blood fang, is the new axe (on the right) worth to +10?

median quarry
#

better stick to bloodbound or bloodfang, that should be enough leech for SB, then you can pick up more DPS stats

pseudo sphinx
#

Yeah I guess the weapon stat is too high to just pass aside

#

Ok I'll look for critdmg + melee dmg

elder loom
#

which artifact is BIS for SB/ST?

little hare
#

Titan

elder loom
#

thank you

sand shuttle
#

warlord emblem or golden aegis for ST?

low aurora
#

Dps wise what is better atm. SB or ST?

prisma spruce
#

SB is more damage

plush whale
#

using lightproof + vitality aura to healing

#

even if use more shadow resist, i just kill myself with sac against her

#

without sac i have infinite sustain but super low dmg. the only way i can think of its having a bloodfang wich i can't aford and tried multiple scrolls but 0 sucess. Or sacrifice even more damage to roly resist

karmic pine
#

Spider Queen? You want neutral resist, I don't think she does any shadow damage

karmic pine
#

That's her defensive element yes

#

Not what she attacks with. All physical hits are neutral

plush whale
#

so i need to go back to plasma suit and sacrifice even more damage 😭

plush whale
karmic pine
#

without knowing whats killing you i can't say. Put Archangel card in your weapon, that should help with the damage without needing to sacrifice

tribal cliff
#

try putting life leech on acce card and mana leech on face

#

on armore try reflect card to increase your dmg

#

why do you have assassin btw

yes

karmic pine
plush whale
#

i'm trying to evade SR and other skills too

#

i don't know if there is a hidden debuff to reduce healing wich is not showing up. I was killing werewolf(lvl 30 boss) and i can't use sac without dying because he debuff me reducing something like 75% heal effect

karmic pine
#

he does bleed which might stop leech

#

i need to find the list of status effects, i know someone made one

plush whale
little hare
#

Where's your arc angel card?

plush whale
tribal cliff
#

only sac is holy, you need the card to convert all your dmg to holy

little hare
#

Nope it doesn't

plush whale
#

omg

#

i tested but no damage increased

#

on dummy

agile briar
#

Pure double sanctified should be way more damage

#

Even on dummy but especially on boss

plush whale
#

i think it increased like 2k more on SB

#

around 50k dps on 10s dummy. nice. but still far from the guys hitting 110k per SB

little hare
#

Use bishop hood

agile briar
#

So your dp10 is 500k with sacrifice? Should be near double that, assuming all your stuff is 3vit as well

plush whale
#

oh i see. i was using bishop before, but i didn't notice the difference because my weapon wasn't on holly

little hare
#

If you changed to shadow for the dummy you'll be over 1mil

plush whale
#

i'll try those changes and see

#

920k with hoodie. it sucks that i have str on the hoodie

median quarry
#

shadow vs dummy is just cheating dp10 😛

karmic pine
#

dps/10 numbers can be deceiving this way, people showing them off usually do it with the right element

#

and sometimes non pratical builds

plush whale
#

but if i change to shadow, i will replace holy element and lose dps, no?

median quarry
#

dummy is weak vs shadow element

karmic pine
#

You use shadow because thats what the dummy is weak to, and the hood wouldn't help that

#

better off with paladin crest in that test

median quarry
#

holy bishop is more ~7% more dps over crest for SB, if you are holy wep enchanted and using sac

plush whale
#

i know he is weak against shadown/poison. but how can i change to shadow without losing the holy element

#

just to test

agile briar
#

You don't lol just forget about shadow for now since we're trying to optimize holy damage for spiderman fight

karmic pine
#

you can't, thats why DPS/10 is unrelaible

plush whale
#

ok. thanks

you'll also just natural do more damage against SQ because of Faith

can calculate boss resistances after you know your non-shadow dp10

i think with the blood gem this will slaps queen spider. But without this its just dark souls 4

you do have to dodge stuff in boss fights, thats just how it is.

my leech somehow not work properly and i'm killing myself with sac against her

#

everytime i see the debuffs, there is nothing saying about reducing healing, so IDK. some other bosses are easy

karmic pine
#

of course other bosses are easy lol, CE, SQ, and Warchief are like the big 3 right now

plush whale
#

i was asking some priests. with blood gem they just stand and kill without moving.

karmic pine
#

and that will likely be nerfed

plush whale
#

yeah. it was not intendend to solo this shit 😂

#

i really wanted to test. spent all of my money on summon scrolls and didn't get anything. classic

Lol '-' it was the holy element. now the leech works properly and i can solo the spider standing

they've updated the main post I believe.
But probably needs to update that part. Its supposed to be every 50 Int improves mana on hit (which you need a card for)
But mana on hit was rolled into mana leech

How does the 50 int bonus work now? I thought before 50 int was +3 mana on hit for free.

If you have enough crit, yes if not the standard is vit crit crit damage.

inner ruin
spark vapor
stiff sedge
#

without +10 on weapon

#

coz i'd be at 93% crit if i take off the crit on my doom

median quarry
#

you replace headgear 10def with headgear 15 crit

#

i believe 10 dmg melee scales better than 10 def + 10 crit dmg for SB

#

very minmaxing though 🙂

#

it'd be best to confirm by comparing two +10 weps though, since you want all the crit rate from refining doom crescent

stiff sedge
#

I have both perfect weapons

#

just need to put the card in helm and see

median quarry
#

nice. we need to compare:

  1. doom crescent with dmg melee + crit dmg, crit rate card
  2. doom crescent with dmg melee + crit dmg, def card
  3. doom crescent with crit + crit dmg, def card
stiff sedge
#

need the crit card in helm if ur gonna drop crit on weapon

#

to be 100%

median quarry
#

it might be too close to tell due to crit rate rng differences, so just the shield bash and shield throw dmg numbers and crit rate + crit dmg stat numbers would be enough to math it out

median quarry
# stiff sedge to be 100%

yeah the question is if 7% crit rate is worth it for 10% def.
10% def is ~3% dps, need to double check that though
7% crit rate is basically your crit dmg times 0.07 so 1.6*0.07 = 1.12% dps

stiff sedge
#

could be more tho

spark vapor
#

I'm using vit3/meleedmg10/critdmg9 and my crit rn 93 with 100 luk and i foung its not much difference cuz the scale for luck is crit chance so after testing it doesnt really matter actually

stiff sedge
#

coz you can miss with not crit capped

spark vapor
#

cuz im sb build

#

And i dont miss with every bosses

median quarry
#

good point you can miss... hmm

#

93 crit rate should be affected by hit rate 7% of the time. what's your hit rate luciel

spark vapor
#

and I didnt experience that

stiff sedge
#

maybe only auto attacks miss?

#

im not sure

spark vapor
#

hit 219

#

hit chance 19%

#

we dont use auto attack?

#

im just fully using skill

median quarry
#

you should be missing 0.07 * (1-0.19) = 5.67% of the time with SB/ST, but never with cons (it's magic)

#

i thought melee/ranged skill was affected by hit rate but maybe not? 🤔

stiff sedge
#

ye idk thats what i was wondering

#

if you can't miss then the def will be > crit , theoretically but will have to test to see if you can miss or not

spark vapor
#

Blind from bosses gives you crit-25 -25hit -25 flee

#

Thats why im using cure skill

#

To dissarm the blind skill

#

But until now i rarely miss

median quarry
#

ok someone in chat confirmed you can miss with SB/ST, that's what i thought.

spark vapor
#

And after i changed to melee dmg, my dmg went up to 10k differences

median quarry
#

melee dmg is definitely better than crit dmg just because less diminishing returns

#

the question is if dropping the 10 def for the crit rate is worth. i think so.

spare tartan
#

ATK stat doesnt do anything correct?

median quarry
#

correct

spark vapor
#

I changed my def card to crit chance
My crit went up from 93 to 107 but my SB went from 74328 to 71307 (-3k) , ST 20966 to 20099 (-867)

median quarry
#

yeah it would lower your dmg a little, 10% def is 4.3% more SB dmg. the question is if 4.3% more dmg is worth 5.67% missed hits and 7% non-critical hits

#

i would assume the crit rate is more valuable

spark vapor
#

Yeah i think so

spark vapor
#

Based on my experience bossing with 93 crit, i found that i dont really see the differences with miss, and faster to kill with def card rather than crit chance, but it depends on your references with sb/st build. Just use the build that really suits and comfortable for you guys to play. Everything works with this build as a solo player for bossing.

show gear/stats

craggy jungle
spark vapor
#

Your stats have to mainly vit+3 if possible cuz vit is mandatory

#

Cuz st/sb dmg is scaling from vit

#

And try to reach 100 crit first and aspd 170 after buff

#

Then full vit and rest int for the stats

#

Use def 3 card per refine in your shield for dmg boost

#

For doom look fot vit/crit/crtdmg since you play st

craggy jungle
spark vapor
#

Look for crit 8 or 9 minimum on your doom it should be reach 100

#

But the alternative is you can also use crit chance card on headgear

craggy jungle
#

so i have to sell my weapon and grind another one

spark vapor
#

What is your weapon stat?

little hare
#

Def or ref card on shield. Enchant your weapon then use ele buff cards

craggy jungle
spark vapor
# craggy jungle

This is good for sb build , im using vit3+meleedmg10+critdmg10

#

Because sb is a melee type so its good for sb build

#

St is a ranged type

#

So you can either look for crit or ranged damaged instead of meleedmg

craggy jungle
#

farming the weapon gonna take a while

#

shouldin't i focus on the rest of the gear coz most of it r not Vit

spark vapor
#

Yeah better focus on the rest of gear first

#

Aim vit3 and hp2%

#

All of your gears

#

Even the artifact also nned to be vit3/hp2%

#

If you have another plus for your gold after gather all the vit3 stuff, you can change your crown of spike to insect carapace for better def and bosst dmg (its like endgame things)

#

But if i were you i probably change to sb build, cuz your weapon is already decent

#

So ill change my shield to shield sb

#

But its up to you, just play whatever you find fun to play with , either sb or st

craggy jungle
#

@spark vapor i just want to kill mobs in every area

#

Fast

#

idc if its sb or st

#

Do i have to change a lot of stuff for Sb?

spark vapor
#

If you mean by fast i suggest you change to sb , cuz high dmg

#

Not really , sb and st have pretty much same set up gear

#

All vit

#

Just change the shield

#

And you ready to go

craggy jungle
#

ic

#

when i get back from work i will change

#

coz i can farm lvl 90-110 mobs

#

but i cant farm higher

#

and from 90-110 i kill them slowly

@spark vapor may i ask what cards are u using on weap? Im lacking 4 crit stats and already used 1 hgear slot for crit rate+15.

craggy jungle
#

i enjoy shield throw more coz its faster cd

spark vapor
#

Im using element cconvert and damage against type of element for bossing

#

i never used crit card dmg for weap

elder loom
spark vapor
#

you can just use crit change card on your headger

#

it will make your crit goes to 107

craggy jungle
#

this is the other shoes i got

spark vapor
#

but for me i dont find any trouble with 93 crit

#

actually better use endurance shoes for dmg boost and def cuz of vit, but yours is int stat so try to find vit

elder loom
#

Aha! Aight. If 93 is good enough for you that would mean ive been racking my brains for nothing lol. Thought we have to keep it at 100.

spark vapor
#

but if you want to use plasma thats also fine, cuz of the hp you got

#

but sometimes i do miss but it doesnt make any problem for me still do tons of dmg

sick belfry
#

hey luc can you send me ur current gears for SB/ST?

#

thanks!

spark vapor
sick belfry
#

guardwall is for SB spam right

spark vapor
#

yup

sick belfry
#

is there anything else u aiming to improve in this setup?

#

titan plate is bis?

spark vapor
#

With these gears you should more or less got 145k ish SB against SQ but still have to becarefull cuz only have 9% leach for me

#

Hmm its already endgame gear for me, when im facing cosmic or warchief im using plasma suit and night greaves and i can tanking all their skills

sick belfry
#

i see. im planning to run this with another pally friend of mine to farm SQ. stacking 2 auras and consec maybe we can facetank it

spark vapor
#

titan plate vit3/hp2/atk2 all of them

sick belfry
#

that makes sense. i might go for plasma suit then

spark vapor
#

Yeah already try with warchief and i can tank the earthquake

#

but kinda annoying from the knockback only

#

but afterall its good to go against any boss imo with this build

craggy jungle
spark vapor
#

all of your gears should be stats with vit 3

#

so you might try to change all of them to vit 3

sick belfry
#

hmm are u able to cap your leech with this setup?

spark vapor
#

the one with vit3 you can keep it

craggy jungle
#

this i don't switch right

spark vapor
#

my leech only 9%

#

also have bloodfang gem for different kind of bosses

#

so yeah i just adjust one or two gears to adapt

sick belfry
#

oh it's only 5,300 hp per tick about 10,600 per sec cap on leech w/o leech items

#

at 53k hp

spark vapor
craggy jungle
#

the problem i got so many stuff in my storage if only i could sell so i can buy gear

spark vapor

just farm it bro, sometimes you get another gear that you dont use buy you can sell

where do i farm ironshade if u dont mind me asking

spark vapor
#

craggy jungle

spark vapor
#

gather the mats and craft at the npc in goblin village

craggy jungle
#

spark vapor
#

#

craggy jungle

Vit 3 + Hp 2

@spark vapor

170 is the goal for agi then rest int then? with the new shield is it more viable still to st rather than sb?

vit3 health leech 5 i guess

craggy jungle

paladin crest or spikesteel helm or white bishop hood

Bishop against shadow mobs obviously. The other 2 test yourself, depends how much def u have

is possible for ST/SB pala to kill spider queen?

Im farming sq everyday

how much damage u deal to dummies

u usin titan arti or corp?

mi not kno if SB > ST

median quarry
#

SB is 10-20% higher dmg on average last I checked

weak current
#

for ST i mean

spark vapor
#

1 endu 1 obsi better for me, but you can test it by yourself for comparison

median quarry
#

for SB, 1 endur gauntlet. for ST, you'd have to compare 2 obsi vs 1 endur+1obsi, because the vit from endur gauntlet doesn't scale as well.

weak current
#

so BIS for Doom Crescent ST is Vit/Damage Range/Crit damage

sick belfry
#

obsidian > safety gloves?

#

for sb atkspd doesnt matter right cause you still wait for 1sec cd

spark vapor
#

Aspd just 170 after buffs

#

thats already enough

sick belfry
#

i see.

#

so u still use bat card? or do you think immune to poison card is enough

spark vapor
#

Yyep obsidian>safety gloves, already tested the dmg still higher with obsidian rather than safety

#

yep im still using it

#

just use cure skills

#

no need to use poison card

#

cure skill doesnt need cd

sick belfry
#

that can work

spark vapor
#

so you can put def card on headger for dmg boost and def

sick belfry
#

imma try obsi then i was thinking you get more out of safety cause more hp and defenses to tank dmg but i guess were tanky enough

spark vapor

I have these if you interested

karmic pine
#

Resistance + Santify + Leech

sick belfry
#

i suggest sticking to SB instead of ST, st dmg feels lacking

tight shuttle
#

I swap out to death's grin and bloodfang for bossing

#

a little slower, but you can easily just stand there and oversustain spider

#

gotta move out of dissonance well though

sick belfry
#

i removed my spiderfang for safety gloves. with plasma chest and enough def/mdef SQ dont deal enough dmg to get you below 90%. also at like 50k+ hp its hard to cap leech on single target

#

im using neutral resist on pants for extra resists on shadow release, does like 50% of my max hp when he does the skill

median quarry
#

I calculated safety is ~1.5-2% less DPS than obsi band for SB, but you get a little tankiness

#

plasma chest is insanely strong for tankiness if you are struggling, all resis is powerful, surprised if it doesnt get nerfed

#

for sacrifice on SB you should only need sanctify + bloodbound or bloodfang for leech, you'd only need more tankiness if fighting a high lvl boss

#

you can also put holy resis on pants since that's just replacing an unnecessary move/atk speed card

weak current
#

is it fine to only have 98 crit?

spark vapor
#

If you are ST main you better have 100 crit

weak current
#

but for SB?

spark vapor
#

I'm currently only 93 crit, and it doesnt trouble me

#

Sometimes i do miss for my ST but i have high dmg for my SB

#

So its like win win for me

I can just change my card on headgear for another crit chan so it doesnt matter for me

93 crit is capped for +10 d.crescent?

what are yall asking santa for if ur here? im thinking endu plate or crescent 3/10/10 since its harder to roll those than 3/2/2s

i find it easier to farm doom crescents compared to farming fortified guardwall shield

agile briar
#

yeah i think the same, im just still hesistant to switch to SB build its janky xD

sick belfry

true it'll take sometime to adapt specially in bossing

but its way better than shield throw

#

doign 160k SB vs SQ rn

royal basin
#

What would be BIS for fortified shield?

Or what about an insect Carapace? 😄

agile briar

ppl say Vit/HP/-Magic% for shield but now i'm a healing received/-magic% believer tbh. but thats based on vibes not math, could be wrong

royal basin
#

Fortified Guardwall +3 vit +10HP +10Healing Received then? XD

agile briar
#

im gonna go 3vit +10healing -5magic%, my logic is i have enough health pool already to take any hit, but taking less damage per hit and healing more = sustain it back easier

yeah its to mitigate damage

BiS stats are under Recommended gear stats in OP: #1440558934107750410 message

health leech isn't BiS. you only need one source to sustain pretty much everything, so either bloodbound pants or bloodfang gem.

Switching from Shield Throw to elemental gems makes a huge difference in DPS 😊

Hey guys ! Did the first guide is updated ? Like Bloodbound still the best if don't have Bloodfang gem ?

karmic pine
#

not sure if these made teh patch notes

brave surge

😤

#

I can't pull a whole room now?

#

😭

karmic pine
#

why not?

#

lmao priest and summoner channels in shambles

#

such a shame , i JUST finished my summoner too T.T

brave surge
#

And they get slowed....

#

I can't run around spam taunt 🥺

agile briar
#

big hit for SB mobbing, ST stocks back up

brave surge
#

Also kinda bummer for sb u gotta taunt every 4s now unlike before was like every 15s I think

I think Phil just forgot, was a lot of changes

#

Taunt still says Duration: 5+ 2 per level?

spark vapor
#

SB/ST still fine, but need adjust against warchief, cant tank earthquake anymore

#

How sb st heals works? I moved today from Knight and i was using heal leech on artifacts to maintain sustain, i can change it to titan and still heal a lot ?

tardy halo
#

Bloodbound pants with leech roll I believe should be good

#

With healing received on chest and shield to up the leech numbers

#

Or if you got money, get a bloodfang gem

In avarege

Somebody might do the trade for 40m tho

im at 77% crit rate (+8 doom crescent with no crit stat line) and still doing nearly the same dp10 as before (5-8% dp10 nerf without changing gear). you almost definitely wanna use a housefly junk card now. will have to do more comparisons of crit rate vs def/dmg trade off on gear, but likely def and melee dmg wins out.

#

showcasing dmg melee / crit dmg should be your best option for SB.
assuming 150% crit dmg / 83% crit rate with +10 doom crescent, comparing wep stat lines:
10 crit dmg vs 10 crit: 10 crit dmg wins by 2.25%
(1*.17+1.6*0.83)/(1*.07+1.5*0.93) = 2.25%

10 dmg melee vs 10 crit: 10 dmg melee wins by 5.76%
(1.1*.17+(1.1*1.6*0.83))/(1*.07+1.6*0.93) = 5.76%

#

post-patch, move a few points from int to dex, to make sure you get your hit rate to 100%, given SB/ST can miss if it's not a crit.

karmic pine
#

Have you looked at Taunt/Stagger now affecting ranged damage? Should help ST builds a bit

median quarry
#

but for an easier rotation and more kitability, might be worth to some people that don't wanna heavily minmax dps

stiff sedge
#

I need 4% crit

#

Any ideas?

tardy halo
#

Weapon crit rate card, forgot the name of it

#

Housefly nom I think

stiff sedge
#

hmm thats +10

#

i can take some LUK out i guess

#

can't even redistribute my attributes better either..

tardy halo
#

Or housefly icky on acc, and replace vocal with eyeball blue for mana

stiff sedge
#

Ill need a headslot open vor stun immune

#

atleast

#

so can't fuck with head slot sadly

tardy halo
#

But lose silence yeah

#

Doom nerfs :/

stiff sedge
#

96% might be ok ish idk

#

i go to 107% with +10 crit card

#

lol

#

and i can't lower my crit either

#

no other useful attribute stat to take

tardy halo
#

Yeah I think that’s probably best, I’m not sure if the missing 4% would affect SB build too much

median quarry
stiff sedge
#

no no

#

im 83% without housefly junk

#

so i need that housefly junk card

#

unless i sit at 95% with a nom card

#

def vs crit dmg

int doesnt increase leech anymore right?

#

it used to increase the on hit effects each 50 points

median quarry
#

i have been asking if there is a new 50 int effect but have not gotten an answer yet

stiff sedge
#

yeah coz if there isnt int is kinda ass other than mdef

median quarry
#

yeah, it's mostly just a stat to dump points into when nothing else useful can be increased

stiff sedge
#

which could be dex instead for hit rate so i wont have to think about the crit rate hahaha

median quarry
#

yeah i needed <5 points into dex to get 100% hit rate haha

stiff sedge
#

yeah its silly we have no real other useful attributes rly

median quarry
#

paladin buffs are strong and ST scales really simply

stiff sedge
#

yea

stiff sedge
#

ST doesnt proc Sac anymore now?

#

I take damage but no damage number on dummy?

brave surge
#

U guys think Housefly nom>Housefly Junk?
Lose Cdmg 7% than 10% def?

brave surge
stiff sedge
#

seems like a bug maybe

brave surge
#

My SB hits 2 times too

stiff sedge
#

lol wait what

brave surge
#

isit lag

#

must be lag

#

moon server things

#

but yea I think sacri right now isn't working

karmic pine
#

Its a bug i think, Phil is aware of it

brave surge
#

Wait I really think shield bash ticks twice rn is it just me

stiff sedge
#

it does hit twice ye

#

im sure its a bug haha

brave surge
#

yea when u hold on it

#

anyway

#

what do u guys think

brave surge
#

my test so far

#

and I get more def

#

94% crit only tho

karmic pine
#

Sacricie should work properly now

How much would bastion gems usually go for?

can someone link their skill build for SB/ST

Would recommend 4 points into Aegis of Light, it's really good for popping as an oh shit button or at the start of a massive pull that'd otherwise kill you

agile briar
#

Also vitality aura is quite good now that we perma sacrifice. It increases your leech and damage by a good bit (on top of obviously more health)

Hey Sakaiyo! First of all, congrats again on your dedication to this guide, I think at this point you're the ST paragon 🤣
A few questions, if you don't mind, as I only read the initial post:
1 - do st paladins not run sac? And if they do, is there any common compromises you do for holy res?
2 - if you dont run sac, have you combined with aa?

SB/ST paladin can pretty much get away with using Sacrifice with only sanctify (and some resistance from holy shield) with current leech system is easy to Regen more than damage

brave surge
#

pretty smooth spider queen even with sac and just pants holy resist +sanctify

spark vapor

For warchief you should definitely using plasma

#

Earthquake can one shot you now

royal basin
#

Are you guys using macros for sb st spam?

spark vapor
#

No

agile briar
#

Its pretty easy to do manually since you have the whole duration of either attack to let go of one and start buffering the other

royal basin
#

Gotcha so just hold down sb then st then sb again once cd is done even on SB build right?

#

Also Plasma>eduplate?

spark vapor
#

SB->ST->ST->SB

#

It depends, if you against bosses (sq,cosmic,warchief) better use plasma for survivability but if you just farming just use enduplate

# plain stump Hey Sakaiyo! First of all, congrats again on your dedication to this guide, I th...

what Luciel said, run sacrifice it's basically free, just use sanctify. holy res on legs helps a little given there isn't a much better leg card.

plasma suit was nerfed, it's 10% all res instead of 20, still quite powerful. if you're dying, use it. if not, use endurance plate for more dmg. similar to how you can use night greaves instead of endurance greaves if you have bloodfang gem and want more tankiness

I use a macro but most people don't. You are basically rocking back and forth between holding SB and ST. Hold ST to get it to cast as fast as possible, then when SB comes off cooldown hold that key until it casts once, then go back to holding ST. You can quickly press the keys instead of holding but I find holding the keys casts more reliably.
And cast taunt to keep up the dmg debuff on enemies, to stay healed use consecration off cooldown

i don't know what happened but now i can't hold the SB button before the CD is up, to snap cast the skill. My leech its not working properly too. i'm killing myself to dummys. Yesterday this was impossible
