Cleric fun Massacre Build

[Nosteru]

I want to share my Cleric build what hit so many enemy at once even my PC struggle to calculate it (noticing some stutter, lag thingie sometimes).

You need max Potions so 3 Reverberant (double) and 5 Memories.

Important Gear: Wind Crown, Hunting Gloves, Jade Amulett, Ring of Fire, Ring of Thunder. Everything else is optional.

Important Blessings (maxed): Area, Attack Speed, Damage, Fire Damage, Lightning Damage, Effect on Hit Chance, Attack Range. Everything else is optional.

Description about Fire/Lightning: Due to bug, oversight or intended reasons when you play with Physical or Magic Main Attack then the Blessing/Traits what increase Lightning/Fire damage also affect your character Main Attack if Ring of Fire/Thunder equipped. So basicaly with only Shrine Blessings you start with +150% damage.

Potion of Memories use (so here you grab both Trait):
- Proficiency Stance I, III
- Weapon Proficiency I, II, III

Reverberant Tinkture:
- Proficiency Stance I (Wide Area) /so damage+range/
- Weapon Proficiency III use on both +166 Damage and Triple Hit (+0.4 Attack)

At Weapon Proficiency IV choose the +22% Hit on Effect (Main Weapon)

Ability Radiant Aura: Get all Might (+300 Damage), then for rest Reach and Strength. I choose this ability because its fit well the Cleric Main Attack. :)

At this point your Cleric Hit reach 4,2 strike with around 5k damage each cover big area. Debuffing enemies with Fragile, Affliction, Burn, Electrify.

Note: If you positioning well so you can hit mini bosses and elites seaparated from the rest you kill them in seconds, due to huge damage and hit 4x at once (20k+ DPS). The Lord at the very end also an easy prey with this.

Max out the shrine blessings for damage, fire damage, and lightning damage, then get ring of fire, ring of thunder, and hunter's gloves.

Use Potion of memories on Proficiency Stance I and III (get both Wide Area and Close Range), Dedication IV (get both Absolute and Relative), Weapon Proficiency III (get both Damage and Triple Hit), IV (get All and Main

Use Reverberant Tincture on Multi-hit I and II, and Weapon Proficiency III (Triple Hit)

For Weapon Proficiency I and II, get Attack Speed (+15% Attack Speed each).

Max out Strength, Quick Hands, Fire Affinity, and Lightning Affinity, and Metabolism.

When those are complete, you'll have 3.2k Damage per strike spread out, and you'll strike 4-5 times (from the default of 2).

Keep moving around. Keep enemies on the edge of your range. Even if you get hit, you'll regen it quick due to Dedication IV and Metabolism.

Even if you can't crit, you wont need it. Your base attack, when you position yourself properly against enemies, deals amounts of damage that other classes would only dream of dealing.

You are now the Clericzilla.

I feel it a waste to use memory potion on Dedication. Esspecialy if you wear the bloodsoaked chest. I was never in real danger on map 3. I even removed several survival trait branch with oblivion.
In my build Strike is 4.2, so on almost every 5th attack it do 5 strike, otherwise always 4.
Your build have 4.76 strike as I counted, I wonder if is overall stronger than mine. Hm yours seems interresting I might try this multihit trait boost, thanks. It mean from 4 strike it hit 1x4 and 3x5. I wonder if it worth to sacrifice the +166 Damage and +20% Damage +50% range.

I ask you why you dont use memory potion on Weapon prof I-II for +40% damage? Rathar than on Dedication and weapon prof IV.

Ok, I tried a fast math about our build. At the end mine do better DPS, but yours might be more versatile with more ferequent 5x strike. Also mine cover a bigger area so the damage spread even more enemies that can end slower kill.

Mine: ((666 + 332) x 4,4) x 4,2 = 18443,04

Yours: ((666 + 166) x 4,2) x 4,76 = 16633,344

Based on follow formula:
((Base Damage + Weapon Prof III Damage) x (+X% Damage)) x Multi-Hit = Final DPS

However if I keep the reverb +166 Damage, but choose 1xMultihit with Reverb potion then I get even more DPS: 18778,4
I think I try this version next. Thanks for your build. :)

I chose my build because it would not require chasing after specific abilities.

Furthermore, once the build is complete, every attack would be 5 strikes with every 3rd attack being 4 strikes. This, combined with attack speed over damage, would apply Fragile quicker (base 22% + 11% from Weapon Proficiency IV All + 22% from Weapon Proficiency IV Main, so a whopping 55% for each strike).

Also, the use of the Reverb potion on Multi-Hit would benefit a wider variety of abilities, making the Clericzilla more comfortable with any ability.

I think I'll explore using the reverb on others like you. Thank you for your build as well :)

I see, I also forgot to calculate with Attack Speed on my math. :P
Atm im runing on the build I mentioned above, with only 1 multihit reverb doubled. I maxed it and have 4,48 strike that mean every second strike is 5x and this seems very cool as I keeped my high damage too. Thanks again. Good to learn fun builds. :)

Joke aside.
I dont feel that ability fit for Cleric. I only use Radiant Aura on him. :)

I took a peek at the Beta and indeed, the Clericzilla isn't attainable anymore. Still, I'm looking forward for the update since it may still be possible.

Well, I had way more hour (85+) of fun from this game than I bother what future hold.
Hopefuly they not screwed all fun builds/class.
Anyway I think the official release is far after BETA.

Things have changed alot. There is a multitude of new fun builds, but you have to get used to it. Currently you have to learn the game from scratch, but it feels very fresh.

In the end you will find ways, but Cleric definetly recieved a huge downgrade compared to others.

Then maybe I do some more run as Cleric with current state of game. :)
Also it would be cool if the game can have time capsule feature. I found this in The Long Dark game where you able to play with old state of game, every huge update in beta branch menu.
