Part 2 Skills:
Before we start lets talk about FCT reduction in this build.
We already have -70% from Deus Ex Machina. And - 0.1 sec if u use Ghost Fire. Now additional ways to lower FCT:
1) Minor Casting Stone (Garment) gives u - 0.3 sec and Minor Casting Stone (Dual) gives 0.1. Getting it toghether gives - 0.3. So its 0.7 sec FCT.
2) Spell Caster Shadow Set: +10 Earring and +10 Pendant give u -0.3 sec OR +10 Armor and +10 Shoes give u the same -0.3 (it doesn't stack! So u cant make -0.6).
3) Archbishop Stone (Lower) gives u -0.1 per lvl of expatio. So its -0.5 if u have 5 (there is the problem u can have it 5 but in the late game i believe at least the build i play).
So if i correct we get -1.6 sec FCT. And remember u have -70% FCT and -100 VCT. I think its almost insta cast for most of the skills (didn't test yet cause thous shadow things r high expensive and i dont have it). If no insta at least u r very fast.
For other shadow slots:
1) Weapon - im using healing shadow weapon +5% heal. Just cause i dont rly know what to use in this slot. Every advice will be approtiated.
2) Armor/Shield/Shoes: for me its Spellflow Shadow Set (the cast cant be interrupted outside the WoE). Cause we dont have insta cast. We tank. And we need to rebuff while being hitted by mobs.
Now lets talk about skills:
Aco:
1) Ruwatch -1 (noone can hide) revials hidden characters/mobs
2) Teleport - 2 (random warp on 1st to run from or to run to. Tele to save point on 2nd)
3) Warp Portal - 4 (4 memo saves)
4) Pneuma - 1 (against ranged attacks)
5) Heal - 3 (yes. its only 3 cause u dont rly need it. we have a lot of other healing skill as cardinal)
6) Cure - 1 (cures Blind not rly needed but u just need to spend skill points)
7) Aqua Benedicta -1 (Ofc u can always buy Holy Water), Make a holy water.
8) Increase Agility - 10 (agi 4 not_in_party ppl) Gives + to agi stat
9) Decrease Agility - 1 (just to spend skill points. Years ago when i was playing (not here thou). It rly helped during PVP fights cause its cancels agi buff. But for now i dont think its good. The only trick - it triggers "cast detect" mobs. Not much help thou)
10) Blessing - 10 (same as Agi but gives str/int/dex)
11) Divine Protection - 5 (prereq 4 blessing)
12) Angelus 10 (gives u a little little hp boost for Votum + 50% VIT defence. As i was told after all changes VIT def now mostly usless)
Priest:
1) Kyrie Eleison - 8 (Yes its only 8 cause u need skill points for other buffs and has no delay to recast so u can spam. Besides its almost as good as 10. But if u feel u need it 10 - u can always cut other skills. For example gloria). protects from hits
2) Gloria -3 Its 3 cause the dif. is 20 secs instead of 10 for comfortable play. Like u can rebuff your party while not recasting gloria every sec. Gives + 30 luck. Good for luck shield and luck oriented guys. Luck is always good u know. Can be cutted to 1.
3) Magnificat - 5. Well as gloria 5 for comfortable play. Besides lvl 5 has the same duration as Offertum lvl 5. So u just cast magni then offertum and when offertum almost expires - recast both. Doubles SP regen. (yes u can use it when low sp to regen instead of using offertum. Even without offertum with all self buffs the votum heal is ok).
4) Status Recovery 1- well it clears frozen stone and stun. Helpfull sometimes if u clicked with wrong timing Lauda Agnus for example (it has delay and u cant recast it) and ur partymember is still frozen.
5) Ressurection - 4 revives with 80% hp recover. U can try 1st lvl but its rly pain cause revives only with 10%. Need to be a pro priest and have a good timings to use 1st lvl. (and yes its pain again)
6) Increase SP Recovery 5 - prereq. for meditation. Regens u some sp.
7) Assumptio 5 - good defensive skill. Increase ur def (and magic def? When i was playing it reduced 30% of damage so im not sure 100%. But in stat window only physical def ups. So i guess only def) plus give 10% heal buff if u heal smn with assumtio casted.
8) Lex Divina 5 - gives silence to a target (if target has resist or cant be silenced it wont). Useless now but prereq to Lex Aeterna.
9) Lex Aeterna 1- well this skill is useless now on mobs (cause we have better version) but still rocks on MVPs. Doubles the damage of the next attack and u can rly spam it cause u have 100% ACD reduction.
10) Imposito Manus 5 - +25 Atk and Matk to u and party. Always good to have a better damage.
11) Suffragim 0 - yes its 0. the 3d level gave 20% VCT reduction to u and party and was not bad when lvling as a priest or hp or ab. But playing cardinal u dont rly want it (u have 100% VCT reduction and u party members usually have high VCT reduction either)
12) Meditatio 10 - maxsp+ spregen+ (increase hp recovery of heal not sure does it work for heal only or for all "heals").
13) Sanctuary 3 - i dont like sanctuary and u dont have much skill points, So its prereq. Heals ppl in a small area (and emperium lol. At least that was before). Can be placed anywere of ur point of view - thats the only plus.
14) Aspersio 4 - prereq, plus gives target's weapon Holy property. Sometimes its usefull on MVPs. (btw to my surprise not all know that u can cancel aspersio effect if unequip the weapon)
15) Safety Wall 10 - i love this skill. Gives 11 hit melee immortality was great in PVPs in good old times. Usefull on MVPs.
High Priest:
1) Coluseo Heal 3 - AoE heal. Has a delay
2) Renovatio 4 - heals 8% of targets hp every 5 sec. Pretty nice
3) High Heal 5 - well it was a super usefull as AB but now its just a heal u use sometimes cause Votum has a 2 sec healing interval. And HH heals much more then dilecto or coluseo. Has a delay (had none with proper Arch Bishop gear but we are cardinals not AB). Just combine play with all other heals. U need 5 lvl so u can get a 75% water resist from cape.
4) Offertorium 5 - greatly increase ur healings. Like almost doubles Votum heal. For example on 227 i have 77k+ without and 116k+ heal with Offertorium. Cures some abnormal statuses (like bleeding e t.c.). Cant be used with magni. So u need to cast magni first then offertorium. Recast when offertorium ends if u have 5 lvl magni (same time interval). And 5 lvl gives -30% VCT reduction by Adoramus ring
5) Clementia 3 - AoE bless
6) Ancilla 1 - gives u 1 ancilla that increase healing, sp regen, when used. Or needed to Epiclesis cast.
7) Epiclesis 1 or 5 - AoE ressurect plus increase hp and regen hp/sp. Im currently using lvl 1 (cause not MVP often). U can lvl it to 5 after ull get 50 cardinals jobs (ull get unused 4 skill points to spend). But. But. Mb its a better idea to boost Expiato so u get -0.5sec FCT reduction with Stone . Still thinking.
8) Vituperatum 4 - mass lex aeterna for range 5. Has a casting time and delay, Good for style play like: TP->Gather Mobs->Vituperatum (if ur partyplayer doesn't one shot)->Convenio. Useless on MVP so mb u can cut it after get 250 lvl and get Epiclesis and Expiato lvl 5 then. Or mb ull still use lvling others or nightmare bio or i dont even know.
9) Praefatio 10 - great skill. It gives shield like Kyrie but for 16 hits and doesn't has max hp restriction. But has a cooldown. Anyway its rly great and u can use Kyrie when its on cooldown. 10 lvl Needed to get 50% neutral property reduction by cape.
10) Oratio 10 - u need it 10 to get -70 ACD and - 50 VCT from boots and 30% heal from ring. And this skill highlights mobs.
11) Convenio 1 - if u r a leader - summons all party to u: "TP->Gather Mobs->Vituperatum (if ur partyplayer doesn't one shot)->Convenio."
12) Duple Light 5 - prereq to vituperatum and Expiatio
13) Expiatio 1 or 5. Well i never used this one. It gives 25% armor penetration efecct on phys or mag damage. Needed for -0.5 sec FCT with stone . As before u can allocate 4 point from 50 cardinal jib. Or cut Vituperatum after all.
14) Sacrament 0 - yes. its zero cause: we have 70% FCT reduction and its not stacked (having 70 and 50 only 70 will counts). On high lvls almost everyone has FCT reduction or such things and dont rly need it. Still good playing AB or low lvls support thou.
15) Lauda Agnus 4 - clears some debuffs gives 10% hp. Needed for boots
16) Lauda Ramus 4 - clears other debuffs gives 20% critical damage. Needed for boots
17) Clearance 4 - remove buff and debuff, status effects from 1 target. Can be used on mobs. 92% of success is high enough on my opinion.
18) Silentium 1 - mass lex divina. Well not very usefull. Mb u should cut it for Clearance lvl 5
19) Cantocandidus 3 - AoE agi
Cardinal:
1) Presens Acies 5 - skill for crit players. Inc crit damage.
2) Dilectio Heal 5 - aoe heal a little bit better then Coluseo (and does not have delay) but has cast time. Generates AP. Combine with other heal if needed.
3) Mediale Votum 5 - our new great heal. AoE + based on hp (more hp = more heal) and casts automatically during 120 sec. The only problem it has 2 sec period between heals so sometimes ull need other heal skills.
4) Repatatio 5 - fully restores targets hp (except mobs e t.c.). Cooldown 10 sec. Great. Just great.
5) Argutus Telum 5 - ignores 25% of phys res.Buff phys skills oriented players
6) Competentia 5 - well. I didn't quite get how it works: it increseas patk matk - checked. restores 100% hp/sp - not checked. Is it one time? Or like Votum? have no idea. Costs 200 AP.
7) Benedictum 5 - phys oriented attack buff. Gives 1 AP
8) Argutus Vita 5 - same as Telum but for magic resistance. Buff mag. oriented players.
9) Religio 5 - increases magic damage but also gives phys/mag resistance. Mb its a good idea to buff all party with this skill. Mb its not and u should buff only mag players and tanks/high hp or smth like that. Gives 1 AP
10) 4 skill points that u can allocate to high priest skills for example. LikeExpatio or Epiclesis.
I think thats the end of part 2.
Part 3. Stats.:
Well not much to say. I have no idea how allocate stats:
str: 2
agi 100: for bleeding resist (thou we have offertorium)
Vit: 130 for Votum.
Int: 130 CAUSE WE CAN. (or just 128 for regen)
Dex: 1 - u have 100% VCT reduction so dont need dex.
Luck: 102 (77 needed for AA which i use ).
Talents:
since creative parametr doesn't work with Votum. Its
Sta: 97 (against phys)
Wis: 100 (against mag)
Thats all. Thank you for reading.
