Fairies shouldn't die, they should be "Aura" for the classes to activate. How do you fix the problem? Give us the dang skill and let the fairy rot! Is it really that hard to have the Halo Effects on the players?

Benefits to giving the Halo Skill to the players:
- Halo skill can be activated like a buff
- No !@#$ing worthless fairy to die and be glitchy and be worthless!
- Easier integration into the class
- No slow fairy to wait on for the buff after you ride on your mount

Disadvantages to giving the Halo Skill to players:
- Devs actually have to develop a way to give players the skill
- Devs have to actually give players the skill
- No more fairy companion

Yeah, I remember a time when my fairy used to not die all the time. I think its still immune for the most part, unless an AoE hits it, then the fairy dies.

Amen. I mean, seriously, why the hell not? They're only useful when they don't try to help in combat, and are concealed. Basically, when they don't do anything. Just give all priests Halos as a temp or perm buff, like the new r/m elite that's a toggled buff, and be done with it. What purpose does the fairy serve other than that? Halos are cool. Fairies are pointless when they only get in the way.

I'm all for just making it an immune follower just for looks, but if that's really so hard, then we don't want the fairies; only halos.

I also strongly say that Faries need a good rework! :grumble:
In this game warden pets are very strong and quite beneficial. But Priests' Faries.....they suck! :shit:
I say that these fragile faries need more HP and defense + some attack power just like Warden pets.

way to bring up a necro thread.

priest fairies hae their purposes but they shouldnt be liek a wardens pet. they dotn need more attack pwoer however they could use more hp.

the priest fairy definitly needs more hp like it gets 1 shot by mobs.......thats not cool.
AND PRIESTS ARE NOT JUST FOR HEALING!
ice blade was only op if the priest geared to do damage.
it had a global cooldown
did not ignore m def ITS A WATER BASED ATTACK.
prayer skill at lvl 50 increases water resistance by 25 and increases WATER damage by 62.5%

water damage is not m damage nor is fire or dark damage.
there is a huge difference between gearing for damage and gearing for heals

I agree. Priests have a hard time when doing a solo run. It takes a lot of time even if you have the power to do the instance solo. Because Icewind blade had a comparatively big cound down and rising tide is also a casting spell. So, even if you could kill a mob with 1 shot, to kill 20 mobs you need more than 1 minute. This seems unfair. Because all other classes use AOE Attacks on group mobs to kill them easily and do the instance faster.
I still think and recommend a rework for Priests and faries. Faries has to be usable in combat. Otherwise whats the use of summoning a pet and using its buff. The same buff could have been implemented as an ordinary skill just in the Priest - specific skill list......

I think it's sad they took the time to retool k\m from the ground up, help scouts in general, but can't take the time to fix this horrid issue of fairies being powerless and basically a flying plastic bag in the wind with a conceal that doesn't work properly in this latest patch. Priests don't get no love in the game anymore. Believe me, I'm a battlemonk, it's the pits when I lose 300% weapon dps because a slow gimped fairy is 2 screens away and thinking it's gonna make it to me before the r\s that lowblowed me for 150k hp is gonna do it again.

With Fairy - hit for 65k, crit for 100k easily
W\o Fairy - hit for 30k, crit for 70k with trouble.


Cmon Runewaker, give us a chance at this game and give an aura and kill the fairy.

Please, I'm begging you.

From the most neglected class in game currently, help us priests out ;(

I disagree that Priests are the most neglected class, but P/W is definitely the most neglected class-combo!

Aye, priests no be neglected. Everytimer they "fix" us, they neglect whole class issues ter nerf us (priests). WTB real ISS that done maker a difference. WTB cleanses that done worketh. WTB somewhat reasonable damage (other than instances, priests do be outta luck fer this game). WTB skills that done increase the heal skills that we DOTH user, instead o the ones that be a waste o timer ta user.

Being a neglected class in ROM is a very good thing. Look how much attention they paid to the Scouts now they have been nerfed to oblivion. The only attention they pay to classes is to harm them.

Reworking the fairies would be cool. The combo I'm playing currently is pretty disappointing. Has all these cool sounding elite skills that deal dark damage but alas no dark damage mastery....can cast rising tide in a hurry due to nimble hands but is still slow going. But I guess that's the tradeoff with survivability. Point is yea, fairy useless.

Yeah, p/r needs a dark mastery. It's one of the coolest priest combos to play :)

I think the only tweaks would be:

1. upgrade Shadow Fury to also add +% dark damage equal to the critical magical hit rate bonus. so it'd be +20% @ lvl 1 & something like +214.4% @ lvl 82.
2. Make Snake Curse a 1 second cast dps skill + DoT... or move the DoT over to Infectious Wounds so it's an instant DoT that reduces healing.

Can't remember if Purge works on bosses, but it was always an awesome debuff for those guys that have 3 lines of buffs in siege.... it's been a LONG time since I played my p/r, Vegimite. :))

It does!

Purge has thwarted many last minute attempts at ninja capping our towers. Best siege ever was when an ex-guildie tried to ninja a tower, I stripped his fearless, stunned him with lure of the snake woman, then tabbed over and stabbed his face off with my alt. Ah the good old days lol

BTW R/P needs some love! That energy drain sucks :(


Oh and yes, the fairies need an overhaul. My fairy spends most of her time dead or too far away to be useful. Give her a self heal! If a cavy pet can heal itself a fairy should be able to also! :P

P/M Fairy

Actually, I really rely on my P/M fairy a lot. It doesn't do much for the party but it increases my Heal effect by 5% and casting speed by 10%. But it is terribly fragile. The regularity of its buff has improved somewhat but it does need some love. I like the little fella following me around. He's so cuuuuute. But sometimes rather frustrating in siege/instances.
