Runes of Magic US / AU

only 2 dex stats per piece will not amount to anything but 2 wasted stats...i'd stick with all the pdef/stam you had with p/k...and a priest, unless questing, has no use for int or Matt, so i'd drop those as well...

Agree. Stat priest/rogues like you'd stat a priest/knight or a priest/mage

when i played p/r i went for the p/k build

stat all matk, int, stam in healing gear

Hi everyone.. i've been browsing this forum for quite some time and happy to find a thread for P/R
well im playing on a different ROM server and i have a 72/72/72 Priest/rogue/scout..
Do you guys think this statting is good?
Stam/def =bygone
Stam/def = Eternity
Wis/HP = Eternity/bygone
Stam/mp = Eternity/bygone
HP/Def = Eternity
HP/Def = Hero

I have the body, shoulders, boots, and gloves from the Phirius Shop with +Healing bonus and +crit rate... Im still saving to buy a Blaze Earring, Blaze Leg, Blaze belt and the TOSH cape with Wis+Crit rate.. oh and i have the Aura Accesory Set from TOSH and Fireboot.
Is being a P/R better than being a P/S? i dont plan on putting any single magic attack stat since it wont benefit me at all..
Im wondering if ill go P/R ill equip Clown Wand + TOSH Hammer(wis+healing bonus) as off hand with Curse X and Recon X runes on both weapons. Ill largerly benefit from the Elite Skill Quick Spell casting.. but i find that only UH, GH are only the heals ill be using. >_<

While being a P/S i can equip Clown wand + Shield/Talismans and a Bow and i can only put 1 Curse X runes and 2 Recon X. But i see great potential from the Curing Shot of P/S.


my friends are also telling that P/R is no healer but i'm convinced to prove to them otherwise.
Im really new to being a priest.. and i wanted to have an alt which is FULL Support (since i already have a DPS S/WD)

chaimahbun says "playing on a different ROM server" and talks about a lot of stuff that is 72 and lower... Do you not have access to the lvl 75 expansion yet?

As for actual advice, I'm not much of a priest, but do you actually ever run out of mana? .. More than a Phirius pot can fix? If not, switch that Stam/MP to a Stam/def Glorious/Hero or Stam/HP hero. Probably Stam/Def Glorious/hero beats HP/Def hero too. Stam has that nice benefit of responding to Hero potion where +HP does not.

Thanks for you suggestion and ill take that into Consideration.. Our Server still caps at 72 so yeah no access to 72+ items...

Maybe i will since i can spam UH much faster if im a P/R and it consumes a lot of mana..
BTW can i put Curse Runes and Burst Runes on Talisman? what runes can i put on talismans?

I believe the rule is that most weapon runes can go on Talismans. Exception is Loot rune can't go on Talisman. Haven't verified it myself, but pretty sure that's it.

Well that's great if that's the case.. then i can play on being P/S or P/r since i can put two Curse X and Recons. ^_^

Any good Priest/Rogues here in the U.S server? i need your advice regardng the skills i should get.. im a p/r and has Quick SpellCasting at level 70. i only see UH and GH to be the skills ill be using a lot... We're close to patching level 75 cap (pro'lly next week) so i also need updates on the stats i posted on the first page.

My p/r is only 75/61 atm but have healed in a few hm instas and the one thing that the p/r has it is the best burst healing priest due to quickspellcasting elite.
I can roughly make Group Heal about 1.5 sec cast time and with full buffs can damn near drop it to .5, which with an untiered half built healer gear I could spit out 5 to 6million healing in roughly 12 to 15secs. None of your other elites really do much to boost your healing, mainly centers around dmg output which is minimal due to the fact you get no elite that grants any decent amount of dmg to dark damage.
You Urgent Heal will not out heal the P/K due to the elite they get called Life Link but you if built towards fast casting can without buffs pretty much make urgent heal a .5 cast time.

If you take healer gear pretty much the druid gear, or the 65 gear and above for healers grants boosts to both mgk atk and healing bonuses.

If you want to have a good mgk attack without losing healing power use more wis/mgk atk stats....you will lose defense but boost your dps output. Go inte/wis..wis/mgk atk...sta/mgk atk...sta/wis(sta/int).

I found that the p/r if built more for dmg can solo a lot of stuff, With my lvl 60 gear I was more an attack healer and used to go solo most instas up to DoD, skipped WA due not enough hitpts to handle the first boss special attk so moved on and did solo the first boss of RTnormal as a p/r.

If you do go with the p/k type build mainly all sta/def, wis/def, sta/wis you still will end up with a low physical defense comparatively to the p/k due to no enhanced armor. With three classes I went p/r/k, because it is almost required for me to have knight for sw and HM instas, yes the P/R can heal them but if anything looks your way in HM I was usually a one shot, ofcourse I still do not have my p/r fully statted but it is a fun and fast casting priest.

I used to play P/R. I would advise you to get a healing wand + healing hammer and use double the amount of weapon runes. P/R is all about casting fast so you can get crazy amounts of crits. The dark damage from your skills is significantly less than what your water skills are going to deal, I'd imagine you'd be using Rising Tide for you main damage dealer. You should try using Heal instead of Urgent Heal. When you get down to the burn phase, I'd imagine you can get that less than 1 sec casting time on Heal without much of an issue. Using Heal instead of Urgent Heal would easily make you a better burst healer than P/K. I used to heal RT normal mode using Heal instead of UH because my healing power was lower than other healers. P/K use UH because of Life Link. P/R has a serious problem when it comes to defense, I'd imagine you'd want to use about the same stam/def stats as a P/K, and make sure you use 2 Recons if you are worried about getting aggro in an instance.

All casters and magic damage classes love the P/R buffs. The halo and the crit buff are perfect for casters, even healers.

There is no special way to stat a p/r, you have no offensive abilities. Until the elites are changed to percentage damage you should stat wis/sta/pdef that's it. P/R is the best healer in game but that was even hurt by the GH nerf. With quick spellcasting you could get GH off like no other priest, and your heals would crit more often then any other healer.

Run in a pesky p/k in siege use purge on them, p/r is purely support and defensive.

Hi and thanks to everyone who replied!
Do you guys think that P/R is a viable Support Healer ( 3stam/def, 2Hp/def, 1 Stam/mp <--that's how i will stat it) than being a P/K.. i have a P/R/S all 72.. i'm planning to reroll my Scout to Knight if i don't see P/R being viable. but i feel bad whenever i think of deleting my scout side
I'll be having 2x Curse X runes by next week so ill take advantage of the Quick Spell Casting of rogues. However the question above still needs to be considered.

I've been P/R forever so I offer you my two cents.


1. Main hand -Heros Bones T10/T11 or True Faith T11 (its not much better at T10 than a T10 heros bones)


2. Off hand -Hero's Wooden Mallet (wis/healing bonus) bought off the black codex NPC's outside of TOSH.


3.You are not a P/K so tell them all to stick their sta/def where the sun does not shine lol


4. Two sets of weapons runes!


5. Sta/hp, Sta,Wis, Wis/HP, Sta/Def I have been known to throw in a Sta/Mp now and then (to the dismay of everyone) lol


6. You will be able to spam GH unusually fast so have a lot of mana pots handy.


I am far from the best healer in game but I do my best to keep the crazies alive :p
My unbuffed GH is usually around 135k. Fully buffed, my GH has been as high as 278k.


People have constantly tried to persuade me to use a shield, I tell them I am not a tank nor will I ever be a tank! I stay behind the tank and if ever things get ugly I hit holy aura then blessing of humility and all the bad mobs go pick on someone else



BTW My priest cannot kill a thing so my advice to you is have a semi-decent statted rogue for questing. lol

Oh and forget the support healer, tell them to stick you up front! lol

Good luck

One of my guildies is a beastly p/r/k and he makes both combos look sexy. It's a pretty versatile combo really. He stats just like a p/k, has a shield and wand for the p/k and swaps to dual hammers for the p/r. You don't have to do all that; Tenbatsu is pretty spendy and he's a gear-ho. But what it does accomplish is max out the versatility aspect of the combo.

Some fights almost demand p/k- healing the bear-kiter on Annelia comes to mind. The p/r shines in other fights- it's damned handy in KBN when insta-heals can be the difference between a dead tank and a live raid. And god knows the warmages beg for his buffs, zomg.

I love running with him on either combo, but to be honest, selfishly, I prefer the p/r. The buffs are insane, and his ability to urgent almost instantly have saved my butt a lot. Anyone who says p/r can't heal hasn't run with a skilled one.

If you want help on which skills to level, roll a toon on Palenque and see if you can find Tenbatsu. He usually gets on very late, he works late, but he's very friendly, and I know he'd be happy to talk p/r to anyone. If you get bored in the middle of the night, pop on over and holler.

omg, i used to know ten, he's actually still around...unless this is another ten i don't know >.<...i haven't seen him in like, forever...
and yeah, come to palenque and check out our peeps...we got some pretty skilled players, unfortunately, not every1 gets along and we don't have much cooperation...

No, he's still around, he just has to work 100 hours a week or something stupid. And he's only on late night when you're sleeping peacefully Cike lol.

Lol @ not everyone gets along. True, but I think most servers are that way. I think we have a slightly above average level of cooperation, all things considered.
