Cleric builds

[willow loom]

I am thinking of playing as a cleric as I see no one else really playing it. But I am unsure of what weapon I would use and so on. Anyone around that plays it?

[tired pebble]

I play solo and use club

[willow loom]

So playing full melee kind of?

[tired pebble]

Yes, for me this works best because of aoe spells in guardian archtetype

And the 2 handed club also have aoe skill in R

[old quarry]

can u show your build

[willow loom]

But you play it more as DPS then? No healer or support?

[prime pivot]

You will eventually level up all classes because they give passive bonus when they are deactivated based on their level, so is best to use a build to level and do quests, then, when needed you respec to a healer/support focused build, because you can respec at any time and any place.

[willow loom]

Makes sense. Still nice to have a general idea of what I would wanna play. As in what I should archetype specficially I should main to do the lvling etc

I like cleric, but it feels like if you wanna go cleric you have to do it melee? But a ranged scepter one would be fun I feel like

[prime pivot]

I tend to be a more supportive/tank player too, what I find more useful is take 2 classes to do damage and general solo stuff, and the third one I keep changing to keep them all leveled

being melee or not is based on the weapon you use

[willow loom]

Yeah I know, but for example protection, is completley melee based right

So if you wanna do cleric build at the end let's say, you would probably be forced to go melee in one way or another

[prime pivot]

not at all, if you go full support you can keep distance and use a sceptre, but your damage will be useless, but you can use any weapon

[willow loom]

Right, sure, but with protection, all damage abilities is full melee right. And you dont get too much damage from holy it seems or spiritual

[prime pivot]

if you are full support you will not care to take the damage abilities, but will take the banner, interrupt, defense shield

[willow loom]

Right, but if you wanna go somewhere inbetween, you seem to have to go melee

And full support only seem to be useful in pvp so far? Or am I wrong? Havent played the game much so idk yet

[prime pivot]

There is boss fights that need healers and tanks.

I suggest you in leveling, go full might, take aoe abilities from warfare and protection, keep changing the third one to level

[willow loom]

Right, we'll see. What's the best way to get a good scepter at like lvl 16?

I have a mace but want a scepter, the one i have is shite

From market place?

Also how come it is cheapest? No one like to play with it/support or heal?

[prime pivot]

I think the materials are cheap

[willow loom]

Alright ill have a look

[willow loom]

What armor should I go with if I decide to go support ish role? Like cleric

For the future that is

[prime pivot]

plate with wisdom

[willow loom]

Cool

[willow loom]

What does scepter scale off of?

[prime pivot]

attack + healing and primary and secondary attributes are random on craft

primary attributes scale up when infused

There is more stats that scale but I don't know yet which one, that is mid/late itens

[willow loom]

Well I was thinking like the damage of the scepter itself, but is that only the weapon damage that does that?=

[prime pivot]

each skill has a scale, attack power (might), magic power (int) healing power (Wis)

[willow loom]

Right right. Also how would even things like bard work? Like everything in archery scales off of attack power?

And holy/spiritual spell power

[frosty sparrow]

You can go 50/50 split or go all might when soloing and all wis when in parties. There is a softcap on attributes of 6 times your effective level. Your attributes will turn red when at the soft cap. At higher levels it is easy to softcap 2 of them and put some points in other attributes. I like Bard, but at an effective level of 28 I did not have as many points as I would like so I am Paladin (same rules apply with might and wisdom) until higher levels.

[willow loom]

Yeah I mean I wanna play cleric and I am kind of but I dont really have any aoe etc

[willow loom]

If I play holy and spiritual, should I just max out intelligenc?

[frosty sparrow]

Int for spell damage yes

[prime pivot]

go wizard for aoe + spirit + holy with int, then you can heal and even do some damage

[willow loom]

Yeah makes sense I guess. I am just trying to figure out if scepter is viable for a cleric type build in general

But it seems like it wouldnt be

[prime pivot]

you can use any weapon of your choice since you can transfer any infuse experience to the new weapons 1:1 ratio

[last wing]

use hammer, protection, holy, spirit.

[willow loom]

Well yeah, but protection damage (hammer) seems pretty bad

And if you do play hammer you would have to go might no? Meaning healing etc would be awful

[last wing]

i tried a hybrid build, might and int. Was pretty good and tanky

[last wing]

but i switched to sholar class. Pure int, sceptre, shield,. Holy, spirit, witchcraft.

[willow loom]

Yeah i am doing a cleric version. Been good so far

Almost everyone is playing scholar if they go heal ish so

Find it borrning

Boring

[last wing]

thats true

the hammer got healing too forgot to mention

[willow loom]

Oh yeah Ik. Its just if you go hammer you have to go might right?

[last wing]

nope it doesnt matter if its a hammer or sceptre. Both need might for weapon dmg. If you go full int healer, hammer or sceptre doesnt matter, since weapon dmg is scaled from migh

[floral pollen]

im playin using sceptre
50/50 between vitality and wisdom
very tanky

but I only play with friends, they do the dmg basically, I help with some AOE

[cold eagle]

would be worth play as healer whit club?

[pure oak]

What is your tree?

[halcyon oak]

Scepter scales off Int. Please don’t spread misinformation.

[pure oak]

When you look at hammer 1 hand shows wisdom and specter is intelligence that is correct

[prime pivot]

The only weapons that the auto attack scales with int are: sceptre, staff and Light Blade (adaptive)

[prime pivot]

because it is adaptive, it scales with might or Int

it depends if you have more spell power or more attack power, there is no tooltips but you can see at Patchnotes 1.0.3 they saying it is adaptive.

"Light Blade ー Fixed a gameplay issue with the Light Blade weapon where adaptive damage was incorrectly stuck on Spell Damage, ignoring Weapon Power when it was higher than Spell Power, resulting in reduced damage output."

[floral pollen]

just a doubt here guys, if i put my points 50/50 between int and might, the light blade will use both, right?

or still only one

the higher

[shrewd elm]

its adaptive not dual scaling...
