Sith's Comprehensive Guide to Priests

[TpstT]

How current is this guide?

Its a nice guide, and given its post just under 2 years ago, i was wondering if anything has changed and/or its kept up to date?

Look at the date that the guide was made and last edited, this isn't much to ask.
Since I'm answering this anyways, this guide just came out awhile ago.

Yeah, but he has multiple posts, and i was wondering if its all valid, i have been reading all the guides in this forum, and some are contradictory to this one.

Its a very good guide, im just wanting to make sure if what im reading is the latest priest information, since alot of the guides are very old, and with the buggy skill information he has explained in this guide, im using it as a reference to other guides who have those spells listed as "needed"

So.. it's not much to ask.

And yes i did notice the last edited times.

From my calculations (hitting mobs with lucky strikes) it seems that BB does 100% matk (instead of the 80% in the description) as well as the bonus 6.7% HP just thought you might want to put that in. Therefore it is ALWAYS stronger than light missile so should be basic attack in any situation

Actually, lucky strike accounts for 1.15x the damage (tested via light missle) so BB still has 80%, It also does the same damage as blood pact from what I've seen anyway, but I can confirm the 6.7% hp is correct rather than 4.5%.
If you'd like an extra check:
Assume 100% ratio
my blood beam damage 118982
m.atk: 99792
hp: 335826
calculated: 122292.342

But, if you calculate my light missile first:
309827 crit 270% -->114750 non crit --> divide by base m.atk --> approximately 1.15
recalculate: 1.15*(99792*0.8+335826*0.067) = 117684.0333 much closer value

So in theory, light missile CAN out damage blood beam if you don't have the hp to compensate the loss of 20% magic attack

I will note that blood beam lv 5 does consistently more damage than lv 5 blood pact despite the difference in bonus damage, however the difference is approximately 1k out of my normal 300k hits. For all I know it's a bit more than 6.7% for blood beam.

Well, I posted the guide on September 15th and have been adding sections, most recent being last week... so yeah, pretty updated...

[Zuzap]

ohhh i always thought that lucky strike does 100% possible damage my bad :P Then in that case it would be 80% of matk because the 115% would make it seem like it is doing 100% matk

Are the skills still glitched? cos i'm about to rb. thanks in advance

[sithewarrior]

Unless I've edited my posts otherwise, skills are indeed still bugged including magic blast even though they said it was patched a few weeks ago

oh, okay. I still find my improved blood beam stronger than the normal one. But, i might observe more.

You need to do some precalculations to determine whether or not you benefit from using basic glitch or not
The only difference between basic and improved/master is the bonus attack and the 6.7%hp vs 4.5% hp bonus dmg
As a low level, the bonus attack and low hp will factor into the difference between your attacks, however, after a rebirth/char development, basic will guarantee to be stronger

Can you detail the stats that we're going to make? like.. 2 int 1 endu then after lvl 20 pure int. then after 30 back in 2 int 1 endu ... something like that sir

If you read [SEC00.0] you'd know that I've made a disclaimer stating I will not go into detail or experience with experimenting with stat building pure int vs pure end vs mix mainly because I don't have an abundant number of AP resets to play around with

my guide proceeds as pure int

Incredibly useful!
Thank you for all your hard work!

First of all, ive been inactive for 2 years now, just got back playing. Second thing, when i saw your skill set guide, well, i knew i F***ed up my skill set. Third thing, Thank you!

[reinviting]

It's a very nice guide. Help me through late scion and eido stages.

A few days ago I decided to give magic blast a test(since I was full set on bloodpool but had a few spare sots.) What I found out were:
1) I don't get the debuff; neither does my team mate. So I'm guessing it's fix in that regard?
2) Guessing it's an extension of (1), but it doesn't activate frag proc as I've seen. (used in tg and with 13 monsters a hit and 10% chance for frost, then it should have activated at least by wave 7 but didn't)
3) Don't have to target the person. When you use it it heals you the labled amount, then it does the dmg (small delay from dmg done and the skill healing you) The delayed damage is where you used the skill. For example, if let say you're at point A going to point B(wherever it may be). You use the skill on point A then head to point B. .5-1s after you're on your way, the skill will do it's dmg at point A.
4) Same with 3, it's a good skill to decloak rogues. Although the range is very small there's still a .5s or so distance before you can get stun. Since there's the delay, it might be hard for them to turn around after using it again.

Hope it helps a bit with the skill. if any other test come to mind, I can try.
