Priest/warlock help

*Priest/warlock help

Hey, Im a priest/warlock/X and Im looking around the forums for some help for my combo but cant find much help so have a few questions I would like some answers on ^^

1. Many ppl say that if you arent P/K you should put so much def because you wont reach enough def anyway andso on... So how should I stat as a P/Wl?

2. Let's say that I get my hands on both VN full set and memento set, which one should I go for? (Even if I gt my hands on the new memento set? Necklace lvl 72 rinf/earring lvl 75... I know that you cant get that set yet but still...)

3. P/Wl gets a elit skill called "Spirit Jump" which lets you pull a party member to you (range:150) and I was just woundering if anyone knows any good spot to use it instead of just annoy ppl ? ^^

4. Because of no def buff like P/K, should I use shield instead of talisman to get def?

Thanks for answer(s) ^^ (I have posted these questions on the other forum but didnt get a single response so am trying my luck here then instead:-))

I have a P/WL @ 52/35 right now and I am doing my best to wrap my head around him.

1. Clothies that are going to be main healers need defense, you can pull agg from big heals and you will have the ability to do some damage with all the attacks available from the WL side.

2. Still working on the best gear for him, I'll keep you posted when I figure it out

3. This is kind of a wierd one since the skill is within range of your urgent heal, no need to pull the tank out of harms way when you can heal him through it. If they get debuffed and are about to be massively killed by AOE, or maybe in HoTO Jiasha when she bubble death kills you, but I think its more of a gimmick than a reality.

4. I keep a wand/shield and wand/talisman as well as a 2h staff in inventory to use depending on the situation.

Its a fun class and I really like playing it so far, its more dynamic than most priest classes and at least on the priest side you don't have to worry about psi points. I find that weakness + chain of light = good times, so make sure to check that out.

I'll pop back over when I get some real gear on him and wrap my head around the class. Don't let anyone tell you its not viable, they all told me I was dumb when I was lvling my main Wd/D but he turned out really fun and I Would be playing him now if I came back to what he was and not what they made him into!

I have an alt priest/lock 65/53 with t8 +4 clown wand and dirty statted holy source set. I must say it is OP at single target heals because prayer of tribulation is just ridiculous. Each tick is 8.5k, same as my urgent. So I'm healing for 34k wth PoT at the same time I can cast one UH. (And each tick can crit! For me a crit tick is 10.5k. So I can potentially heal for 42k in one sec!) Just imagine this with endgame gear!

To answer questions:
1. I would stat the same as a p/k, I don't see why you wouldn't. 4 stam/def (or 1 HP/Def), 1 Wis/Def, 1 Wis/HP.

2. I am not that far yet, but since it is just an alt and my main R/S isn't even fully statted, I'll just be going for mem and shell gear.

3. I've seen a few uses for spirit jump. One, if a toon isn't keyed for last boss DL, instead of dieing near the barrier and rezzing him through, you can just teleport him in. Second, in siege, let's say a teammate gets rooted and a melee is about to hit them, spirit jump them to give them more time and of course cleanse it. The most satisfaction is cleansing a shadow prison off a mage, spirit jump him away from the dreaded 150k lowblow and then seeing the rogue melt to a lightning, fireball combo. (In addition, I was able to out heal the bleeds of the endgame rogue at level 55 with PoT.) The last use, I can recall are in instances that require people to move away from something. The ones that I've had success with are paicha's black bubbles in RT, and the black circles in WA. The character doesn't have to lose dps and they stay safe.

4. Wand/shield IMO.

I would be p/lock main if I hadn't spent so much time and resources on my main. P/lock is an amazing healer. O and the last elite is so good. Basically another urgent heal everytime you cast to the party member with the lowest HP. AND it activates everytime PoT ticks!

As far as rotation, I start with warp charge to decrease my cast time then the rest is similar to other priests, 2 UH 1 GH. Save PoT for emergencies. Remember to use the 50 elite on bosses you know have a lot of aoes/dots.

Thx alot for answers =) Anyone got answer on the VN set vs Memento set? ^^

Another question I got is, I dont have a third class yet but thinking of Rogue or Champion as third class because; I have heard that Warlock/Rogue is a nice combo + P/R got fast healing... But Warlock/Champion is a imba combo but P/Champion isnt that good... Anyone got any other tips on third class? Ty =)

May not be the answer you are looking for, but what I always tell people about the third class.....Why? IMO, the only reason to choose a third class is if for some reason you hate your current class reversed. If you love your P/WL, then great, that is your main, and the character you will be spending time and money on. If you hate Wl/P, well then that is a good reason to choose a third, but if Wl/P works for you too, why waste time/effort/money on developing a third class?

Usually I see 3rd as a better secondary for your secondary class, or alternatively if you don't like your secondary class you have a third class so you can play on that instead of your secondary.

I use my 3rd on Kef as Wd because Warden is fun to play, where as on Beepy I play D/W/Wd, originally I was gonna be D/W, but D/Wd got a buff unexpectedly and Briar shield started giving pdef so I started playing on D/Wd and I do have to say that I do like it although I wasn't really expecting to be playing D/Wd. If you told me two months back that I'd be playing on D/Wd I would have scoffed at you.

Third class is really a gift horse, I would not look it in the mouth.

Anyhow, Ebi would say pick rogue since he loves Wl/R, P/R though isn't very good it has some decent abilities but people don't really play it for a reason. Mage is your other option that goes well with Warlock, Mage/Warlock might not even be that bad, then you'd also have 3 caster classes, it depends on how you want your synergy to work, but if you can avoid stating 3 classes than I would advise you to do so, it becomes a bit pricey.

Don't even bother with VN set, its useless for a healer. The raw healing power you get from mem set over the VN set is huge.
Cammo (82 M/82 W/82 R) 116,147 unbuffed Matk :D (95k pa - r/m)
Livia (82 P/77 K/75 S) wisdom O.o wtf is that...
