Exorcist Guide (including new gear)

Build looks fine if PDM is the way you want to go. Personally I tried other ways to get MDEF Bypass since losing a V.Drop for a PDM seemed like would lose too much damage (didn't actually test this personally). Before I used to do Survivor's Shoe/Rod for 50% bypass then the Weapon/Shield cards combo for the other 50% but these days the King of Spirit Circlet is very nice for ME. For instances I switched off ME to Adoramus with two Magician's Gloves. So a couple other good options instead of PDM which frees those 108 Str.

if the extra 40 matk doesnt make you kill in less casts/less waves it is ultimately pointless then(other than making a bigger number)

10 pdodge at the end of the day is 10% chance to dodge autoattacks, wich may translate to a 10% damage reduction over time. But its rng based ofc.

With full damage gears  damage is too much overkill for leveling   

 

like I tested in previous reply    even Lv.100 AB can hit 500k ME  

 

this insane damage is  for  end game  Demon/Undead  slaying  (instance , mvps) 

 also possible to one-two shot low tier MVPs  (Drake , Osiris , Doppel  for example) 

 

for leveling   most Lv.100-150 mobs are have lower than 150k HP   and when you're Lv.141+  you're mostly leveling in Bio4 to 175

 

you can be a semi support     at least use ME for solo , or being extra AOE in party  when TI have  Demon/Undead combo 

 (I remembered that I was soloing  High TI  Eremes+Necromancer combo  from 126-150 )

 

 

Well   even you don't have Mob Scarf and Abyss Dress 

 

  you can hit at least 300k ME   with Shrine Maiden + 2x Valks + Holy Stick and Shoes of Punishment 

 

* Or 100k+  without  Shoes of Punishment combo   that's still easy to oneshotting till high TI 

 

 

Mob set  you can change to  Seraphim set  for better healing , instant colo heal  and  bleed / chaos immunity 

 

Can change to elemental armor (Flattery Robe Int if you still want damage   and put elemental card on it)

or FS build favor armor  (Ritual , Med  etc) 

 

Can use other staffs  , shield     Example  Croce Staff + Rose of Eden    put NP or NCT combo cards on them for MDEF bypass   

 Croce staff *  is on the list  because you can switch the hat to Clergy when the TI don't have Undead/Demon 

 or going Bio4 that's your main job is keeping everyone alive   , your party good enough to kill everything 

 

* Or Healing Staff / Recovery Light  if you want better heal 

(Recovery Light have slot for MDEF bypass combo card lol   but I don't like it because it's consume a lot  of SP when colo heal) 

 

Shoes can change to Pilgrim    since even you don't have Shoes of Punishment  you still one shot    

at least you can spam ME carpet w/o String  , better heal and Def 

 

 

depend on your choice     you can one shot mobs easily with at least 100k ME  and you have better survivability and team play

 

using full offensive gears   you have overkill ME damage  but squishy and low heal

even Lv.175 AB  I heal only 2.5-3k  /  8k High Heal    it's have a problem when going with party and you're only solo AB 

 

if mixing with some FS gears  at least have 3-4x better healing  (at least less High Heal use on some class like RK , RG)   

harder to get killed   but you still help killing specific mobs with ME   one shot mobs like a cake....

 

 

Hmmok thanks. I do use pilgrim shoes forgot to mention that. I'll probably try to mix it up with defensive and offensive gears. Maybe switch build to not use pdm who knows. This is mostly for when I get bored. Thank you all for the replies!

+9 Shrine Maiden , 2x Valk drops , Weapon  (not only Holy Stick   , just any staff for at least MATK)  is strong enough for early level   

 

you can mix up with some defensive / support gears  for better party play  or your survivability 

 

 

This is my damage testing video   on Lv. 100 AB

 

from no items  to  full gears  how much damage you can maximize

against many later targets replacing the shrine maiden with a +10 KOSC will yield more damage btw. And the cast time wont be bad because of stat distribution, buffs, etc and the fenrir effect on the hat.(even more if using a temp dex)

Good to know. guess my Sorc will eventually need one too. thanks,

Yep higher level mobs / MVPs  using +10 KOSC better 

 

ME damage I tested    Shoes of Punishment combo with Holy Stick is really strong   

 

   (or you can switch between Pilgrim  if you want to spamming ME field around you then switch back to Punishment for damage per ME wave)

 

you can add True Magaretha card on Holy Stick  for Adoramus damage   adding more DPS against specific MVPs

or use the guarana candy trick

Candy trick?

Can use that consumable to replace/cancel long cast delay. For example can cast Lex A then use a candy then the candy's delay takes effect instead of Lex A's. Spending 8-10k per cast of seems crazy to me but I'm only sorta rich not obscenely rich. 

besides nameless Island where can I level 104 ME AB? i tried GH prison but felt slow. I also don't have a ton of time to do all the quests for Nameless Island entrance.

Nameless is really fun its definitely worth the effort of going there. Its just Rachel sanctuary and veins siblings. Sure, you need some green herbs and jellopy for siblings but thats so easy to buy. I mean if you are going to spend money on a niche character like that, shouldn't you be willing to do 3 quests?

 

That said Illusion Moonlight is probably your best bet.

i just had about 2 hours to play today, yay life, so I wanted to make the most of it. I plan on doing the quest eventually. 

Will this be closed if I bump this right up but may somehow become relevant in the coming weeks.   lol it's pinned

Hope this build to one hit Gold Scarabas

Does Magnus do feasible damage in WOE? or nah?

If damage not too bad but anyone with decent reduction can easily take it, maybe a passing mins, ranger, or GX, or someone wearing evil druid can be KO-ed.

I think the best use for ME is to use it like storm gust. A random AoE to add chip damage alongside storm gust and LoV, maybe ko some evil druid players or bring their health low enough for heavy hitters to one shot. It can also be used in defense, or on top of a portal, to break cloaking or the damage animation and sound can reveal cloaked enemies for a second or so.

I just wish that MATK was like pre-renewal. damage is so low even for a wiz
