Ashes of Creation - Cleric grind session to lvl 16 - solo and group

[@CrustyCroco]

Hi people, just saw this twitch stream upload is actually picking up some views. Will be likely streaming some more stuff on Twitch on the weekend, feel free to say hi! www.twitch.tv/crustycroco

[@MagikaDeHex]

Ill be there!

[@fierypandaofdoom]

Hoping shadow priest dot gameplay comes alive with rogue class addition, but I'll settle for fire dot for now :)

[@theLos]

Wait wait, what? xd Croco burda!

[@CrustyCroco]

inovilmaz!

[@joaofernandes9458]

exactly what I was looking for

[@kencopeland6767]

Can you tell me about your build please? Great watch.

[@CrustyCroco]

Hey, i was pretty much going with whatever pieces i could find. focusing on int, con and wis pretty much. but had all kinds of random items, same for weapons, as long as they provide magical damage they should be working just fine. for (weapon) skills check ashescodex.com/planner/share/5249e3c3-0512-4a1e-ad73-95a3a1733183 hmm, man, it didnt save the weapons and skills. go for burning, finisher trigger chance and mana regen. all the other stuff i also picked kinda random, anything should work fine tbh. ok, now it worked saving it :D

[@definitelynotadam]

Hopefully additions of classes will allow for different cleric playstyles: classic healer, druid, spear/archer style cleric, melee templar/paladin etc.

[@CrustyCroco]

Yea, would be really cool to have several viable options. Really really hope cleric/cleric isnt necessary to be able to fill the healing role properly.

[@CasabianN-xr5sc]

When I asked about druids on forums I got a vague answer, but then again I asked in a such way that I implied that druids have shapeshifting. Hey, at least there is shaman and I hope he has totems.

[@CrustyCroco]

@@CasabianN-xr5sc Yea, noone knows enough at this point to give a definitive answer, we can only guess from small hints that they mentioned like "schools of augments that will change the abilities". Some skill augments may just change a skill by a small margin while others could completely change how it works, so we will have to play the waiting game (yet again) for the classes.

[@CasabianN-xr5sc]

@@CrustyCroco The reply I got hinted me that druid (WoWlike) was possible, but not within class augments. It's probably an augment beyond class system (religion, race, quest etc.)

[@CrustyCroco]

@@CasabianN-xr5sc Ah ok i see! I dont know enough about wow druids, so i cant really say anything about it x) But very possible that there will be a similar playstyle with all the options we are supposed to get... soon...(tm)

[@carlosz114able]

Impressive, I thought only Druids could kite

[@CrustyCroco]

Yea, people say cleric dps is bad. While i agree single target dps isnt the best, the aoe solo farming the cleric can sustain on the lower levels is only somewhat matched by the bard.

[@kaischulz5717]

What and where would u level with lvl 9? I get the feeling that aoe is hart with white weapons and no aoe skills?

[@CrustyCroco]

there are lvl 10 goblin fields around almost every town that should be not too hard to farm

[@kaischulz5717]

@ thx ok then I have to search them

[@Otakueztez]

This game reminds of Grand Fantasia especially the class system and spell system. Copy and paste, maybe?

[@arezxx5244]

There many old games like this.

[@CrustyCroco]

There are a lot of influences of all the existing mmos, thats true. but i dont think its a plane copy paste of existing games.

[@madmage4207]

A bear? How do you get that mount, from a quest?

[@CrustyCroco]

Hey! You have to "hunt" animals in the wild, at the moment it's just a placeholder mechanic, petting the animal to "death". As a result you can get a carcass or an alive version of that animal. Then you have to bring it to a husbandry station and there you can tame it for i think 70 silver if they didnt change it.

[@madmage4207]

@@CrustyCroco Awesome!

[@smokedoggxxl]

What sub-class will you be running?

[@CrustyCroco]

Good question, if Cleric/Cleric is necessary to do the endgame content and is needed for pvp, then sadly it will be that. Otherwise it really depends what the augments will do. Cleric/Mage sounds kinda fun to me, or Cleric/Summoner. Will have to see what it actually does.

[@smokedoggxxl]

@@CrustyCroco Cleric/Fighter for me, Retribution Paladin FTW

[@CrustyCroco]

@@smokedoggxxl Yea, could be really nice as well, hope they will find a way to make all the augments interesting :D

[@apekaboom6241]

is this how to lvl up?

[@CrustyCroco]

Hey, well at least it is one way to do it. There are several, you can pretty much go with any size of group and do respective content. Just important to have good kill times and good respawns. Solo farming so far gave me the most loot and glint tho.

[@kaischulz5717]

Can u send me a pic somehow perhaps discord how u skill all of the screenshots are not sharp enough!
