After my come back to KO, my char was naked and had to decide what will be best build for me...
I choosed my old build - FP Goblin BP. It is relatively cheap (ares server) and not bad in hp/def/ap. Price was important coz i had 0 coins hehe

The most expansive (and most important imho) part is FP DD25 helm.
Anyway, many ppl say goblin build is for noobs coz u lose ac and hp and u only gain resistance but not much coz in +8 build u get resists from more int. Well, I decided count everything:
^ GOBLIN BUILD ^U need 146 INT to use DD25 helm and FP+8 gloves/boots in that build. So you save 12 HP points which also gives u extra 12AC if ur HP more than 100.
Goblin FP Pauldron- AC: 92
- HP: 10
- Hit Points: 50
- FR, LR, IR : 16 each
Goblin FP Pad- AC: 76
- STR: 10
- Hit Points: 50
- FR, LR, IR : 16 each
Total Bonus (counted with bonuses from items and extra stat points)
- AC: 180
- STR: 10
- HP: 22
- Hit Points: 50
- Fire Resist: 32
- Lightning Resist: 32
- Ice Resist: 32
^ +8/15HP FP BUILD ^U need 158 INT to use +8 Pauldron in that build. Of course can use DD25 helm and FP+8 gloves/boots. So u need put extra 12 points in INT which gives u some mana and 6 to all resists (every 2 int points over 100 gives 1 resist point)
FP+8 PauldronFP+8 PadTotal Bonus (counted with bonuses from items and extra stat points)
- AC: 206
- STR: 0
- HP: 30
- Hit Points: 0
- Fire Resist: 6
- Lightning Resist: 6
- Ice Resist: 6
^ Comparision ^So difrence is not so big. The strong thing in gob are resists and stat bonus. +8 set is more defence. Stat bonus - yup, goblin gives more - 22HP and 10STR so 32 to stats vs 30 from +8 set.
Lets see numbers again:
FP+8 - 26 more AC, 26 less all resists, 50 less hit points, 2 less stat points
Goblin FP - 26 less AC, 26 more all resists, extra 50 hit points, 2 more stat points
or other way:
FP+8 = 26 ac, 8HP vs GOB FP = 10STR, 50 hit points, 26 FR, 26 LR, 26 IR
U can always reduce ur extra 10 str points from goblin build in other part of armor or in base stats, so basicaly goblin gives more HP for BP but support fp will have less HP since he dont need str and got str in stats only for shield.
^ Conclusion ^I think choosing betwen these 2 builds is hard and depens on accesory u have and type of priest u want to be. If u r 174/178 str build and rest in hp, go goblin, it is best for BP imho. If u r support with lycoan hammer, u dont need extra resists, go for +8.
I find the best is lot of stat points in hp for extra def and goblin and str armors for resists and ap.
It is much better than goin 220+ str and hp armors like many ppl do, coz u not losing bonuses from extra defence gained for every HP point over 100. But main problem here it is very hind find +8 and +9 fp/chitin with STR bonus.
