Warlock.

Warlock has 4 , beast's roar, saces' embrace, weakening weave curse and surge of malice

Any one has noticed that upgrade healing skills is a waste of TP? my GH crits for 100k at lvl 0, and 103k at lvl 80. Really? 32mill TP for only 3k?

Some skills of warlock are based on % of healing power, I think healing and support skills (like wave armor) should be based on % too

Only good suggestion here is that priest fairies get a rework so the don't die in the first hit in a boss fight, so we can actually use them.....







That is all that is constructive or needed by this class. Priests have great heals, easy to stat for defenses, very forgiving on statting, and cheap to stat. My gf and I have two p/k/s, and one p/r/m. Even with minimal amounts put into the last one, I haven't had an issue with it at all. The two p/k/s have pretty competitive hp, and cost us next to nothing, but heals are well more than enough and never die to mobs... even when disconning in the new zone.

Technically, preiests do have AoE skills, they just happen to be AoE heals and buffs, but whatever.

I say remove all the fairies, there's no point to having the fairy be there at all. Just make the buffs their own skills w/o having to summon a pointless fairy. Oh and did I mention that I think having the buffs attached to a useless fairy is pointless?

I like that entirely, don't bother with coding something new or trying to find a fix, make it a 15 min buff and be done with it. Heck just remove the fairy skill, move the spell from one cast by the fairy to one cast by the priest, let it last till same like it does on the fairy. I think that would make it easy to use, easy to change and a better choice all around. Remove one more pet running around.

Methinketh the one advantage that fairies doth bring be a moblie, ranged buff that affects all in the raid. Buffs only work in party, an only get afixed when in range. The fairies cast their buff on all in raid (or siege) when in range. The best rework would be ter get em more HP, an maker it so that when they be in hide, they TRUELY be in hide. Also, iffn they could get the anti-AOE buff ter offset some o the damage that tis cast on em. They hast two issues, their hide no worketh, an they hast lousy HP. Changin em from fairies ter timered group buffs tis only a bandaid ter the real problem.

I used to wonder if they just gave the fairies the same buff that the warden pets do making them 100% immune to AoE dmg, that would pretty much fix em for instances cause they don't really get directly attacked that I have seen. It is the AoE that owns their face hard.

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.
Priest are healers. They have AoE skills. Group Heal, Soul Source, Holy Candle Shield, ...
If you want AoE damage simply switch over to M/P.
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.
Saved quite a few undergeared players with it. Also as your playing P/M they'll get a pdef buff.

Stupid Faries. Can you call this an Ellite skill? Totally worthless.
If you want to call 10% cast speed increase for P/M 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.
Sit back and heal my fairy while it tries to lop off the bosses head? Yeah, you convinced me, I totally want that.

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

:mad:
Priest aren't completely and utterly broken - unlike some other classes. They were made to heal and they can fullfill the job they were given in a party. P/M isn't the greatest healer of the lot but at least you can quest more comfortably compared to some other combinations since you actually have a few damage skills. If you want to talk about having a hard time try P/K for questing and come back to report your experience.
Also, if you'd have played this game long enough you would hope and pray they don't touch your class.

If you turn off fighting and conceal them they are immune. But it's buggy and in some places, KBN for example, it simply doesn't work and they die.
Also the buffs and conceal wear off after a seamingly non-deterministic timeframe so you have to keep re-applying them.

I agree with BitBucket. While priests could use some more damage-y skills, they have their role in a party and fit it perfectly.

well does a druid have an aoe attack?
have priests been nerfed?
should priest have at least 1 aoe attack?
not all priests are for heals,my p/s is not geared for heals its geared to do damage.
mage gear and mage stats.
2 second cd on iceblade is not needed especially with all dps classes 1 shotting anyone with 100k hp.
some dps classes hit way harder than that.

- yes druids have aoe attack. its called summon sandstorm and is like TS-type. also earth pulse does some kind of aoe attack in straight line like piercing arrow of scouts. not much reliable but still aoe. and they DO have an aoe heal too. just for the ignorants saying that "u have GH as aoe, so u dont deserve an aoe attack"
- yes priests have been "touched" by RW, and imo it was something that should be modified. its about the debuff on GH, since priests had become an 1-skill class, during pre-"nerf"
- it is well known that statting plays the most important role on the role to assign to ur toon. yes, a mage statted priest can do dmg. but will never compete in runs with other dps classes, just cause he lacks burst skills. simply cast speed burst and RT spam is not enough to be considered dps unfortunately
- fairies r broken. yes BROKEN. if ur fairy dies from aoe when it is in conceal-mode, this is BROKEN. ppl say "ok, yes, sometimes conceal doesnt work". would u say the same if u immuned in holy aura and "somehow u died", cause "yes, it doesnt always work". get serious! especially for combos where fairy is essential (p/m, p/w eg)
- yes priests deserve an aoe. noone said to be spammable. neither as skill. rogues have aoe attack as ISS. priests should have too. atm the only combo to support aoe to priests is p/wl with 2 wl-side aoe's.
- priests arent useless as say. they need patience to lvl/farmthough. but in the very end they have the scepter in a run. they leave and party ends if no replace. so be nice at them ;)

Priests in general are fine as is. Every single priest combo is viable at end game, and pvp. The only change they need is a QOL change on fairies. Thats it, and its not even game breaking.

AOEs? Dont need. Imo, shouldnt get. Sorry, you cant have it all. Not what the games about.

Neither do Druids.. but they have one. As does every single other class in this game in one form or another. There's just really no reason why we can't be given one in a set skill, especially seeing how useless most of our set skills are.

It's one thing to say that one class can't have it all, but when every single other class has it, there's little reason why Priest should be left out of the mix.

We've butted heads, and probably will forever about this.

Basically, it just boils down to what Runewaker initially intended for the class "Priest" and "Druid". Priest was intended to be a healer, with combos that could lean it toward a hybrid, but never be a full fledged dps, while Druid was a hybrid, which could go either dps or heals, but not being a good dps nor as good of a healer.

The way priest was designed, it pretty much held true to the above. Yeah theres P/S, but then you're thinking siege. Game wasn't developed or balanced with siege in mind, despite what the majority think. Siege wasn't even part of the game until mid Chapter 2. A lot of you say you're a damage P/S - you'll never be able to do the damage of a real dps. Sorry to say, but you never will. (Siege is inherently unbalanced, not even going to take it into consideration).

The way druid was designed also held true, except they werent viable as priests (heals) or dps. The DPS was laughable (even as a D/R - the pure "dps" combo), and the healing mechanics were subpar. You had to be an excellent druid to take on the role a mediocre priest could fill.

It wasn't until chapter 4 that Runewaker finally realized, essentially no one played druid as DPS - it just wasn't viable, and started "buffing" druids so they could fill in their default role as a healer more easily. Making them more viable and more appealing to the masses.

So yes, druids have an aoe. Because that was our original intended function - to be a healer/dps hybrid. Priests do not, because they were intended to heal, with some "support" dps. You get heals and buffs as your baseline skills. We get heals and laughable dps skills.

So p/s Was intended to be the dps type for priests and yet they nerfed the only attack that was even close to a multiple target attack.
And why? Well we know the answer.priest is the only class with no multiple target attack.
They should give us a setskill or something to help when multiple mobs are aggroed.
Ii can get myself killed very easily in korum dome i i move to much.having a skill to hit multiple targets would greatly improve questing.

Me doth disagree, Ravesden, as usual. P/W an P/S twere BOTH listed as DPS classes by Runewaker back in chapter one. Twas the main reason me done did picker p/s from the start. However as chapters have gone on, both those classes haver suffered from neglect an tinkerin. When they did the "great class rework" fer so many classes, they simply didn't do ANYTHIN ter the priests, other than nerf our GH. Their fix fer fairies worked fer awhile, but obviously since then they have ceased to function well. Me tis still waitin fer Runewaker ter giver the priests the proper attention that they done haver giver ter other classes. An real set skills too. Ours be totally laughable.
