The Priest
Chosing this class makes you a support char.Priests are well known for their healing abilities , buffs , makin them a high requiered class for parties. Also as my guide will show priest can very well tank in pvp as well as in pve ( boss hunts and grind parties )
Stat build
Your main stat build can start diffrent then the final setup you will have and the one that i recommend .
Psyche- adds mana , magical def, healing power , durability to magic barier
Vitality - adds HP, psysical defense
As low lvl , you need to start workin you way addin 3 psyche 1 vitality till lvl 50 .
After lv 50 add 2 points in vitality
At lvl 99 naked you need to have 300 psyche and rest in vit . With the right gear ( hp weapon , hearts , bear , costume, tali ) can have 40k + hp and around 800+ psy to heal perfect
Leveling
I would have to say that priest is the easier race to lvl . Your are always needed. Thats why you need to do a good job and keep your party alive .
You start off in Hall of revelation and you should do those quests there cuz of the talisman that gives u some xp ( its not a must just a helpfull thing ) Should stay there till around lvl 13.
After that should go to Ahkma cave and start working ur way up till you hit lvl 40. The cave has multiple grind places that will allow u to lvl fast since there are always ppl grindin there.
After 40 you can chose R1 till 49 or so. Then move to Altar of Roha. After that Spire is a good place to earn money by drops or Crones quests. Till you able to move to R3 , Then new map and after R5 .
Tips.
You should pay attention to your party and use magic barier ( MB ) on them .Dont keep just to urself.
The mage will aoe most of the mobs so he will need magic barier the most.
Group heal will aggro.
Lvl 7 magic barier has smallest cool down so you can MB everyones
You can use Chrono with Obligation .its an impressive skills that takes down most of your parties dmg.
Skill Tree
I talked earlier about some skills now its time to get to know each one in particular .
The skills i mention is also the skill tree you should have .
White mage skills
Heal lvl 5 - you can upgrade this to lvl 6 it will have same cooldown
divine aura lvl 1 - it will realease some aggro but dont depend on this to save ur ass
divine beam lvl 2 - you wont really hit stuff so its better to keep it low lvl or not take at all to save points
group heal lvl 4 - it will heal perfectly at lvl 4 , but the cool down is shorted and it can make a diffrence
cure confusion lvl 1 - its a pvp skills , it will eliminate dhan stun but you cant use it while u are under it
cure silence - usable in pvp curing dhan silence skills / pve curing diffrent bosses "silence " skill
intel blow - its not for yourself , but ppl love buffs - good for warlocks , templars , wizards and int dekans
magic barier lvl 5 - you will need to upgrade this as far as 7 if u can . it will absort dmg % of your psy
detect lvl 5 - you can detect ppl using invis skills
teleport lvl 1 - can teleport 7 m , its highly usable for tsb
grp instant heal - you should take this skill after you are lvl 50 and have triple stats that add psy vit int + costumes etc other wise its useless. i keept lvl 1 for the cool down till lvl 70, u should make it lvl 6 after that if you want
net bind lvl 1 - usefull pvp skill i would say lvl 1 is best because you can use with chrono if necesary . lvl 5 you are held attaced longer time
chrono lvl 1 - can use same skill 2 times without cool down . i preffer to use with obligation or net bind
recovery is useless since everyone has toggle skills .rec doesnt go with that
Priest skills
Almighty lvl 7- this is actually the first skill you need to upgrade to lvl 7. everyone loves it and with good reason. add a 25% boost to all of your stats.
Blue fountain lvl 5- boost in mana . lvl 7 is 35% increase
Dispel lvl 1 - releases u from Sealing square - dhan trap ( sometimes its buggy )
psyche blow lvl 5 - should upgrade to lvl 7 for 25% boost in psyche .
Erase lvl 1 - randomly dispells 2 buffs .sadly we dont get more but can be used with chrono for more debuff
staff mastery lvl 1 - you dont need this skill but you need to unlock next skill
vaccum lvl 5- very good pvp skill , stops normal attack .lvl 7 last 45 secs.
grp instant heal lvl 1 - its workin just as it is. high lvl increases already long cooldown
perfect healing lvl 1 - 100% heal.
mareas mind lvl 1- you can make it higher lvl but you dont need it necesarry
marea battle lvl 1 - its increase in resis.. but it doesnt stack with grace so not worth maxing
mareas grace lvl 5 - this should be upgrade as high as posible,lvl 7 increases your vit by 25%
mind air lvl 5 - should upgrade this skill , root effect . some skills have release tho
obligation lvl 5 - also a very good skill . lvl 7decreses 70% of dmg
Tips:
Other ppls skills like : Fixation,Crazy standin , Defendin nature , stone skin - are debuffable !
Very usefull to use vacuum when the attacker is casting Fixation , Crazy standin , Siege Shot .
Revive VS incarnation
a lot of ppl ask what to get or what is better. in the end its about gameplay style.
I have both and i preffer revive and resurrect scroll.
Why?
When you grind you need to resurect fast because most of those squisy classes depend a lot on you .
incarnation has a longer activation time (meaning takes longer to cast ) then revive and those few seconds can make the diffrence bettween a live squisy dhan and a dead one.
Also revive scrolls are instant.( best for tsb , pvp )
BUT - if you have time and the pt is not in massive need of you , you can use incarnation for recovery of loss xp.
Weapon of choise
before lvl 50
you should pick one hand ( mace , sword , dagger , wand what you can afford ) with psy.
you need this boost since your stats are still low and need more healing power now that you are on grind mode .
can use DD ( damage drop ) options or if you cant afford use armor defense ones.
lvl 50-70
you can go with psy again if you have low resources . or can chose psy vit combination .
lvl 70 +
lvl 70 +
From here on you can start buildin HP % weapons one hand . HP% will raise your health drasticly allowing you to take more care of your party , ables you to tank , survive longer overall .
As end game weapon always use one hand ( mace or sword) and shield.
Best option 51% + hp , ancient with vit ( or if you find psy vit ) , and DD option .
With the right gear you will have 50k + hp , and around 1k+ psy for perfect healing .
Mace / sword / dagger VS Staffs
Another question i see here is why use a one hand and not a staff .
This is very simple. using a one hand weapon allows u to use a shield .
from end game shield u can get pd and HP while still having the benefits from your weapon.
The mana that you can get from staff bonus is really not necesary and useless. You already have a high mana pool and losing Phisical Defense and Hp for that is just a no no .
DO I need other weapon then the HP one ?
Some ppl are askin if to use other weapon then the HP one that i recommend. Like a psy one.
My answer is no. Dont waste rps and money on something that is completly useless.
why : ~ at pve grind u can still heal perfect with full lvl 7 still lots of psy
u dont need MB cuz of the high amount of HP . so u can MB everyone in ur party .
~pve vs boss - u can lure bosses to corners etc better places , tank them if necesary
at lvl 99 there is nothing to do but bosses really pve wise
~at pvp - able to tank even those nasty templars , and rest .
-able to MB someone else
~at tsb .-can freely go in front and chrono and mind air everyone
...I dont recomend psy weapon because ur not really vit build even with all the rings and everything . Whats 1xx psy anyways ? Can live without. Not worth losin 5x% hP over so little psy you already dont need.
Gearing up !
Armor upgrade
A lot of ppl ask what option to use for upgradin armor. Health . Always HP because you need lots of it. Some ppl see some other upgrades on EM but those are just for specific classes . Like HP recovery is for wiz.
Always use HP and if you can use the Item Mall option. If not use the ones ingame found for around 800k or so.
Shield
i would suggest not to waste time or money on using rare shield . Just jump from one unique to the next one. upgrade with HP as well.
Accesories
Low lvl
When u start you should use what ever you can with psy till you reach lvl 25. The new crafted rings are a big help so can also pick from those.
lvl25-30
You can get " Kaan Sealed Heart" - 10 vit , 7 psy , 10 magic attack
lvl 30-55
"Abbots Prayer Book".You get them from the Demon in Vena monestary. Also you find this boss when your doin your lvl 40 quest.The Books add 10 int , 10 psy 10 magic attack.
lvl 55-60
You can start wearing " Cameo of Futility".You can this drop after killin R1 boss (stats: 15 psy,15int , 200 hp )
lvl 60-70
Here you have 2 choises. Dependin on how you can afford.
1.lvl 65 ( the cheapest version) " Dark Angels Baton " from r3 boss ( stats:15psy,15int,15vit)
2.lvl 6 (around 3k rps or boss hunt) "Darl Soulpiece Necklace" from r4 random boss (stats 20/20/20)
Goggles / earrings
Here is a matter of what you find and what you can afford. Im currently using +25 vit goggles and + 18 vit earrings ( my build is mostly based on vit )
What Pet to use ?
The Honey bear is the best pet for a priest. The amount of HP desired cannot be obtained without a bear. So feed him up to lvl 3.
NEW Now with the new pets I can recommend the lion as a good pet also.
The Bunny is a must for everyone but only when teleport ,and the cat can be used during events, when collecting and other activities such as those.
