Actually.... that reminds me of a conversation I had with a friend of mine when we were discussing Seng and Priests. He brought to my attention how much we end up assisting our team get kills in Sengolia. Could you imagine if we got credited for that? That'd be so amazing. *__*

[lindsy]

[sonpusan]

demons grasp don't do dmg and just hold each other for few sec with NOTHING.

Ive been reading a few things just updating myself on this post and I want you to please do me a favor... cast goddess embrace while ur in front of hitomi in psych. You will see that all of the buffs are taken away including goddess embrace because it is esentially a buff. And to the person that told us to just cast it again... I'm sure we would love to.. but it has a 1 minute cooldown.

I think they were suggesting that you re-cast buffs on yourself, when they were talking about the running away and rebuffing. Although, when you're high enough level or strong enough, using buffs in Psychodelica becomes pointless if you're in a room with Hitomi and you don't kill her first. I've gotten to the point where I say, "Screw it" and don't rebuff myself in Psycho because she's going to knock them off of me again at some point.

GE is SO useful, and it's wonderful, but getting it past level 1 isn't a really good idea. The cooldown time is still close to a minute, and you can put points into other skills you'll need. I'm a little upset it doesn't protect you against a knight's buff knock-off skill, but I guess it's because that's not really a status ailment like a stun, or scarlet fever, etc.

out-stun them first with demons grasp? Lol blood priests worst nightmare is stuns and ****

well if u wanna put it that way... there are like millions of possibilities u know (for example run away and cast buff again... then go after your enemy wif GE, then they wait until your GE gone and debuff u, n u runaway and buff again, and they debuff u, and u run away.... and it goes on)... i'm not monster too.. i'm a human players...

what i'm trying to prove here is that priest hav a skill to counter stun and debuff... whether how u use it depends on you yourself.

GE is for holy priest then what blood priest going to do? could you tell me then?

[Shaoren]

i suggest create alt , collect purified crystals , collect shards and upgrade ur souls .. just my opinion .. cause im a knight . level 40+ full savage set vs a ranger 40+ with level 80 soul upgrade and i loose cause i dont have soul upgrade LMAO

sorry please talk when you use lv 80+ character with slayer set it will make huge different and you don't play priest so you don't know the feel.

I'm so very glad I found this thread!

I'm also a level 100 Scion Priest, and I've had a lot of complaints with regards to the way the priest class is built. By way of nerfing what could be our GOOD DPS skills, the game has effectively backed us into a corner and essentially forced us into play a support role. I play a holy/hybrid priest, myself, and I find that I get pushed around a lot in the game, especially in areas like Sengolia, and in town (to a different degree), and quite frankly I'm tired of it.

I'm at my wits end about people arguing that we're an OP class, and this is by many people who have never even played a priest before. Master light beam is OP? Oh sure, if we're lucky and it crits in Sengolia we can do over 100k damage with it. Meteor strike in Seng? Easily 120k+ One-shot by a high level Mage. Rogue stun? We're dead in 3 seconds if they're strong. Strong shot by Ranger? Easily one-shot us, and if not, they have plenty of other skills in their arsenal to throw at us until we die. MAYBE we can get away with kiting a knight, assuming they don't hook us, stun us, and kill us after debuffing us. Cool story, kids! Please tell me more how over-powered I am because I can heal myself, ignoring the fact that if I die in 5 hits I won't even have time to get a couple of heals off.

Then there's the buffs... To all of those in town who feel entitled to our buffs, stop being so selfish. You call us selfish for denying you buffs? Bugger off. I'm not dropping what I'm doing to cater to your wants. I want to play this game too, and I agree 100% with... Ah shoot, I forget your name, I'm so sorry. >.< But you made comments like these that I'm echoing now because it was like you read my mind when I read them.

Blood priest skills need a major face-lift. What, I ask, is the point of some of our passive skills if we rely so heavily on our magic attack to boost our blood skill attack power? Why would you give us more HEALTH if our skills only take a small percentage of our HP as damage? What is it, 4.5% at max? That's garbage when compared to our 80% of magic attack. Why would we toss jades into our armour if we're already lacking on the pdef front, just to get a little hp boost to up our attack? It makes no sense to me. And permanent boost to matk when health is OVER 70%? Don't make me laugh. The least you could do is make a permanent passive boost, regardless of the state of a priest's hp, so you could counter the fact that a blood priest is lacking buffs like Circle of Power and Heavenly Protection?

Sacrifice sounds good in theory, but it's **** in practice unless you happen to get a crit on someone. The channeling skill? What's the point in having that stun if you're stunning your target as you cast it? It's not like you can attack them during a cast. The curses are pretty good, I will admit, especially when they're maxed, but curse mastery itself is a sub-par skill. Is it any surprise it's yet another health boost? Come on, really? It would make a lot more sense to have CURSE MASTERY be a skill that gives our curse skills a much-needed boost, by way of how much damage they deal to a target, for instance. You're not really mastering a curse if all you're doing is giving yourself an extra health bonus, are you? Your curses don't even require a percentage of your health to deal damage!

And as I've heard, Death Cometh is broken anyway, so there's nothing to say about it.

Conclusion: I switched to holy/hybrid priest because as blood priests we're completely out-ranked by the other classes, and what useful skills we could garner for our class, as a whole, are sectioned off into the Tenacity tree and leave us with a bunch of abysmal attack skills and virtually useless health boost and regen passive skills. Tell me, what good is Enhanced Circulation versus Angel's Blessing (and yes, I understand EC also gives you a...15%? magic damage reduction bonus at max, but what good is that against a physical class like a knight, rogue or anti-mage ranger?)? Or Bloodflow versus Circle of Power and Heavenly Protection? There's more I could touch on, but I feel like I've already made this a long long post.

TLDR; I'm in consensus with many comments before me, and have decided to include a suggestion for Curse Mastery and Bloodflow, while criticizing the uselessness of other blood skills in the Tenacity skill tree.

hmm... u've got some pretty good argument there... i agree wat u saying to a certain extent

[Alexmancer]

Intelligence is still more important, even for a Blood Priest. Offering Endurance with Intelligence would be nice, but not as a substitute.

[moczar]

yeah, it was either Mages or Knights..

nope, i just tested... cant be debuff by mage or knight.
