Celebrant vs Spiritualist vs Oracle vs Universalist

[Melusina]

Thoughts on these combos?

Priest + chanter = celebrant

Chanter + cipher = spiritualist

Druid + cipher = oracle

Druid + priest = universalist

Priest + chanter - strong all around support. You can live without priest PL8 & 9. You get summons, heals, buffs, you name it. With upgraded bride something something invocation you get brilliant inspiration which restores spells (tested). At which point you can rek everything with unlimited shining beacons and cleansing flames as well as running prevent death on self 24/7, but it comes pretty late. Still your personal summon army with priest spells is nice. Priest of Berath/Troubadour for Necromancer RP (brisk recitation for the skeleton summon chant gives you a new skeleton every 3 sec), but priest of Wael is better.

 

Chanter + cipher - Cipher benefits from having allies to cast spells on, can be a decent buid for solo cipher. Troubadour or Beckoner/Ascendant. Drop your summons, build up focus, spam amplified wave. Refresh summons as needed. In a party I'd rather have time parasite for my cipher though.

 

Druid + cipher - idk, not much synergy. Shapeshift can be decent for building focus.

 

Druid + priest - you don't need this many spells and they all have long cast times. You can go priest of Wael for instabuffs but then again you could just go wizard.

 

Out of these, priest + chanter is the best. Would even say quite broken at PL7.

It's true priest + chanter is awesome, but you get Xoti as second companion quite fast and it bothers me (for some reason) to play as priest of [insert any god], since it breaks immersion for me.

 

 

I was thinking troubadour + ascendant (spiritualist), but it's so squishy I get faint of heart just remembering all the fights in the game, so far. I haven't reach far, but I finished number of quest with my celebrant.

 

druid + priest is also awesome, but I wish priest has little bit less annoying RP.
