Rework on Priests Required!

Priests, which is currently an awful class lacks from many things and are quite inferior to other classes.
For instance, they have no AoE Attack. At least 1 such attack will be a nice addition.
Defence skills suck! What's the use of absorbing 2K Damage after you reach level 80? Wave armor skill need rework to be a worthy of leveling skill.
Stupid Faries. Can you call this an Ellite skill? Totally worthless. Even wardens are given the skill of having a Class pet from levels <10. Those pets have decent amount of attack and some valuable skills with a good HP. Buy our faries are very fragile. They cannot be taken into combat. Just conceal and follow? What is the use of having a pet for Halo skill? It'd have been better if it's just an ordinary skill. Faries need more HP and Attack power to be useful.

Please, make Priests worthy............

I for one am happy with how the healer works not every healer gets pdef, if you want defense become a p/k or a p/s for pdef wave armor.

priest shouldnt need an aoe... it could be helpful but id rather hae heals than an aoe attack?

fairies dont need mroe atatck pwoer however more hp would be nice.

There are some tweaks that priests could use. But there are bogger issues that should be taken care of first.

If Faries are not for combat, why Halo comes as a selective buff from pet? Halo could have been implemented as a buff from Priest-Specific list so that it's easier.
Warden pets are awfully powerful. If you are fighting with a warden, it's like fighting with 1.5 (Warden and his pet)
They also have buffs. Warden pets give resistance to most of AoEs as well and some many buffs and attacks the targets on command without getting killed.
Faries also have the same pet control pannel, but utterly useless. When you click to attack a mob, 1 hit and the farie is history.........

the priest fairy is definitely weak but as you will find there is only a few places in game where you would get swamped by mobs.
instances are designed to be group oriented.
the only thing i see as needing work on the fairy is a hp increase.
2k hp is fine at low levels but as soon as you get into lvl 60 plus zones the fairy becomes to easy for mobs to kill making using the fairy almost a burden.i would recommend hp of 10k at least.

The only purpose of the fairy, as far as I know, is to buff the owner and party members around, not for combat. Thats why Halo comes as a buff from it. Warden is a DPS class (except Wd/W), so it makes sense that its pet does some DPS (Though except for Chiron, most Warden pets hit me for less than 10k in SW, so not like its OP DPS or anything). Priests are not a DPS class, Priests are for healing and support, therefore priest pets do the same - support.

Although Fairies do need more HP. Even with them supposedly "concealed", they still die every 10 seconds. And some buffs from fairies really are kinda useless and should be changed.

That's it! Those buffs are useless. That's why I said Faries should be made combat type. Since Priests are non-combat type, they should have at least a single strength in combat power. I'm a P/M and my Farie gives me Windrider Halo, which gives magical accuacy of 6% which is utterly useless. Some players give me accuracy buffs of 15 mins far far faaaaaaar better than that. I have experienced a small increment in my heals with the Halo. But still it's useless. From the least, a Water Damage Boosting buff is worthwhile...............

Not all Priest buffs are useless, but the majority of them are. As far as I know, only the fairy buff for P/S and P/R are useful.

r/p is OP, i honestly wonder y i don't see more running around...but i was thinking more of a heal added to LB...it deals damage and heals the rogue for the amount of damage dealt, maybe a 2 sec mdam/pdam immune as well...

I haven't checked fairy buff with 70 elite in extensive detail, but if I recall correctly, most of them were so-so, and were met with "QQ why is are new elites so crappy" rather than cries of joy. Making the 50/50 elite part of the fairy buff more powerful (and damage increase related) would not, imo, make the fairy buffs too OP.

I don't see much usefulness in mana reduction when mana is not an issue (Unless you're a group heal spammer, in that case all the mana reduction in the world won't help you that much), or 6% magic accuracy, which would give me an amazing 100ish accuracy), and does not make a noticable difference. (And if I did have enough magic accuracy for the increase to be noticable, I would no longer need the buff)

You're kidding me. First of all, priest do not need a rework, and it is not required. They don't have AOE skills - because they're not an aoe class. Not every class has/needs an AOE, so that argument is moot.

Fairies - provide a supplemental buff to your already strong assets given to you inherently just by being a priest. Better survivability for the fairy? Sure, Make the conceal buff actually work. Apart from that, fairies are fine as is. You're a priest, not a warden. Want a pet? Reroll.

Defense skills - Holy Aura and Bubble, in addition to Grace of Life. Soul source. Urgent Heal. 'Nuff said. Sorry you can't be invincible, but thats not balance.

Conclusion: People need to learn2play, not ask for unnecessary class buffs.

I agree. This has always been stupid to me as why Priest "Halo" buffs cannot be provided as an Aura. Simple as that, toggle on/off, everything in the radius benefits from it when on. Aside from providing a single buff and being a nuisance to priests in siege because they have default pathing and runspeed, they are utterly worthless.

I agree some priests should have AoE skills and some shouldn't.
P/M would be a better DPS combo if they could trigger some of their skills to be AoE skills when the settings are right. However, it's not entirely essential to filling the healer/DPS role.

I've tried countless times to suggest improvements on ALL classes and combinations with absolutely no response from any kind of developer or CM.

Thats not something that really matters. Not every class has to do what any other class does. Its called diversity. Priest has skills that no other class has (self-rez, HP, Patk, AND Mdef buffs? hello). You don't have 1 thing, big deal.

No other class but wardens have viable attacking/controllable pets for an extended amount of time.

No other class but druids can turn mobs friendly.

No other class but Mages have so much ranged CC (lightning, silence, discharge, static field) along with a spammable, at-range AOE.

No other class but Warriors can CC multiple targets close range (essentially close-ranged counterpart to mages), Blasting Cyclone, Shout, Terror, along with the defensive capabilties it has when near death.

No other classes but rogues can have permanent stealth capabilties. Only empowered by the fact that they can get back *in* stealth after being revealed.

I could go on, but the point is, not every class has to have the same capabilities. You don't have 1 thing, big whoop. Does not mean the class is in any way shape or form broken - which it isn't, at all. I would argue that priest has been in a better position viability wise than almost every other class combo since the start of the game.
