Haian's Warpriest Build

"Warpriests are fierce clerics who pray for peace but prepare for war" - NWN2

I am trying out Dark Energy skills with my Pet trainer. First I tried the Sacrifice build similar to Crusaders in Ragnarok but the HP progression is low. At lvl 110 I can only achieve around 20k HP. My guildmates said they can get as much as 50K which I think is a still low compared to other tier 1 skills. So I moved to Death Stinger and kinda enjoyed it.

Stats at lvl 110: Vit 125 rest Str
Skills:
Dark Energy: Bloody Bite (10), Dark Stinger (10)
Magic: Staff mastery (10),MP recov (10), Maximizer (10), chain cast (5), Power wave (5), (impact & finale are optional)
Priest: Heal (10), mini heal (5), recovery (5), aura (5)
Rest is used them in worthless skills and I am waiting for free reset to come.

Combos: I do not use combo and just hit and run.
Gameplay: use power wave to avoid boss aoe and attacks then shoot death stinger when the enemy is stationary. recover hp with heal or bloody bite.

Planning to add shield or support after getting more levels

I prefer the line from The prince and the pauper
"If you want to cure him, hit him with your stick!"
or something along those lines

 

My current stats right noe is 255str and 125 vit. I am planning to raise vit to145. After this what stat should I focus on? Int for additional attack or Dex for accuracy and stability?

 

Hey I made this build (only level 75) do you feel you are doing adequate damage? Is it viable for doing bosses later on?

I went darkxdagger skills mostly with some slight brawler skills for tumble. I’m 245ish strength and plan to put points into vit next.

 

I'm currently lvl 155 with 255str and 169vit.
I dish out around 100 -200k damage on venena using non smite death stinger. Staff has low stability and damage fluctuates. I still enjoy using this build but will try to invest on gsw for faster skill animation

 

Ok awesome! Sounds like it’s something to pursue still, I’m really enjoying this build so I’m glad it’s viable.

 

Actually have a question, since Sacrifice is the only health based attack (everything else just slightly uses HP), for a more DPS build using daggers, would you say INT instead of VIT would be a better choice? Opening you up to more ATK, MATK, ATSD and the dagger skill witch benefits off MATK?

Just maxed STR.

 

no dagger attack is affected by matk.
Poison Knife skill damage and poison ailment damage scale with INT, but Dark Stinger is stronger on this build.

Poison Knife's skill constant increases with AGI and the skill multiplier with INT. poison ailment damage is based on DEX and INT.
Dark Stinger's multiplier increases with STR and VIT.

with STR INT you only get half the potential on each, but STR VIT gets full potential on Dark Stinger.
for magic damage/proration there is Red Tear, which also uses the atk stat like the other skills.

 

Late reply but you I thought Darkstinger just used HP, not DMG dealt from it affected it?

 

Guys keep it clean and let's stick to the topic.

vit adds to the multiplier while hp adds skill constant

 

Thank you for the confirmation.
