Nice work!

It's not auto selection, it's just good muscle memory lol. You can switch spells before the UI completely pops up.

I never liked holy strike (even though I recognize it was strong) so I don't mind. Bless nerf is sad though.

They don't expect it!

Honestly I've been running this build in trios for the entire patch so far, with great success. But I understand you are probably looking for a support build. 10 spell is great. I'll probably make an updated Cleric Guide (again) maybe after Patch 4. If I tire of this build and find a good 10 spell build though, then I'll make a video on it this patch.

@@NotLikeThisJoe Thank you

​@@NotLikeThisJoe wondering what u think of creep bein implemented ?

Not really worth it with the bless and holy strike nerfs. Usually area denial via earthquake and locust swarm are also not worth it since you can't heal others while channeling it on a door way or something (not to mention you get ambushed like half the time anyways). And bind requires high spell casting speed scaling to be worth. Can be nice to chase down rogues in trios and such but typically in actual 3v3s it's better to either precast heals to prevent 2 taps or engage/zone melee with divine protection. Currently you can run all the heals, divine strike, and res on just 5 spell with divine protection or judgement. They kind of gutted the other 5 spells on cleric to a mostly unusable state so.. 😂

I don't like it and I hope the devs don't copy Tarkov too much. (Tarkov added something like this) Footstep sounds are important information that allow counterplay. @@BornToKill780

Good players will try, which is why I try to be as close as possible before I pop it. That way there is no space to run, and blocking or fighting is their only option. Good PDR fighters with Heater are sometimes a challenge.

If I can get buff duration without sacrificing any important stats, then I like it.

The main problem with having buff duration with high-end gear is you benefit so much from stacking knowledge/spell casting speed and will/healing. Then anything else that gives you damage and you basically have no room for bdur.

When would you use it? Like, mid-swing?

@@NotLikeThisJoeThe actions I described are just how you trigger it continuously in general but yeah you could do those actions quickly after or mid swing as well. You can basically just hold those buttons down and spam it nonstop to keep doing it,.

junk dashing boots, leather gloves (melee classes) rawhide gloves (caster classes) give the best default stats rn

For now you could search by slot (for example, "feet") and filter by uncommon. That should be pretty budget. For default squire with no progression, I'd go heavy boots, frock, cloth pants, spellbook, flanged mace, prot pot, hp pot, bandage, torches, and maybe buckler if you like it.

thank you 🙏@@NotLikeThisJoe

@@NotLikeThisJoe ayy 16x10 enjoyer.

Have faith brother, you will get better soon. With each death you learn more and become better.

It would be cool to see a little more of this

Maybe some trim! Or even if the clothes are ragged and torn, and then have more contrast/less faded colors / no tears on the hunter rarities would be neat :) kinda like how some weapons look different in the inventory depending on rarity :) (namely the orange bladed longsword for purple)

@@L0wSkiller yes this exactly rips tears extra lining anything to show what u r dealing with

Creep for everyone is wild. I foresee a reversion.

Buff before fight, get close enough so they can't run after you pop DP, jump in while activating DP, then swing around the shield until they drop.

I thought I could squeeze through and I was clearly wrong.

Just was taking a little break. Don't worry, I won't leave :)

Indeed, prices have gone up quite a bit. I wish there were more ways to fight the market inflation.

Any class can achieve this with current patch's scaling. Just need the right build. I do wish gear was scaled back down to earlier patches. I enjoy high ttk for more counterplay.

It has unfortunately happened to all us Clerics. I wish I couldn't accidentally buff a dead skeleton.

I recognize Holy Strike's strength, but I just enjoy the buff/bonk/heal playstyle. Warlocks haven't been a problem with this build yet.

US West or East.

@@NotLikeThisJoe i see thats the resson u dont get a single crosbow and the people give the backs or use a range weapon in mele.... come to europe west , we apreciate u free gear

I've always said fighter is an easier and better solo cleric in most situations.

I ran this build at the end of last season and it worked well. I've been literally 1 shot 0-100 this patch by a slayer fighter, and I don't think this build is anywhere near the strongest you can achieve in DaD compared to other classes.

makes sense, I personally never engage a cleric with buffs. I wait it out and range as much as I can. The best cleric build now is holy strike with judgment movement speed magic damage. you 2-3 shot most people. Id recommend that if you havn't tried it@@NotLikeThisJoe

This is part of the reason I enjoy this build so much. It's very different compared to the usual playstyles.

algoalreethumb

I see your point, but we are vulnerable to pre-fight skirmishing, post DP fighting, magic damage, and more. DP has a very small window of 4-5 seconds.

@@NotLikeThisJoe true as a ranger i have ben dying to this even when i hit the cleric like 10 times with epic longbow and 2 hits of spear so i think its broken its fighter with heals at a down side that you dont have the 70% PDR all the time but i tried it and at least its fun when you play it xd

@@tomj0771 With this build, 3 body shots or just 1 headshot and 1 body shot will kill me if the ranger has "mid" gear. That's why dodging and getting a good engagement without taking ranged damage early is so important.

The lengths that we have to go to equal a fighter's power....

In this video I kill someone with 2 of his characters ranked in the top ten Solo Leaderboard, but okay man.

@@NotLikeThisJoe 1st, when you die it shows wanderer 1 rank show up........ok 2nd, as a top 100 solo warlock last season also with countless hours on all other classes expect bard it would be silly to assume anyone under the top 100 solo leaderboards is any good at pvp because to get there its about farming pve, pvp is a side quest. 3rd, no need to be offended by my comment i dumbed it down in the nicest possible way that its ''not bad'' and the fact remains that anyone at high rank with half a brain just has to avoid you for 4 seconds while divine protection is up and then the cleric turns into a weaker caster than any other caster and a weaker melee'er than any other melee'er making you a complete fish out of water. just like you avoided the barbs in your video the second they shouted, which lasts for what 6 seconds? and you managed to do it while being the slowest class lol. and lastly., the overall best solo cleric build i found working (at semi high rank) was a combination of melee caster with +add magic/true magic dmg and judgement skill for high burst to surprise other classes while pretending to only be a fat slow melee cleric. youre still a worse fighter and a worse wizzard but its more of a surprise than your amazing 4 second buff with a loud sound cue. but okay man.

16:10, I'm running 2560 x 1600
