Priests can play one hell of a role in "ganging" people thats for sure. You didn't even mention Lex Aeterna. If you turn an opponent's armor element, then lex them there really is no hope if they're hit with Asura. Anyway I would love to hear from more people if anyone else has thoughts on my suggestions (especially staff members; Ryuk and Ethereal have been the only ones so far). And in light of reading Genesis' reaction to a recently rejected suggestion I'd like to add that I'm not trying to demand/suggest anything impossible. If any of my ideas aren't possible for our development team then just tell me and I'll scratch them off the list.

I completely forgot about this. I did it when I first started iRO like.... 7 years ago.... The npc suggested I become a Swordsman and I did. Loved Swordsman branch in iRO.

LOL Bieber fail:

Razer Mice are awesome. I want a Razer Mamba... Might buy one later this summer.

Thats understandable. Just thought it was an interesting idea. Enchanting armor to undead would turn a priest into a mage for a short period of time with skills like Heal, Sanctuary, Magnus Exorcismus, Holy Light, and of course Turn Undead. All of these can be reflected with Maya or nullified with GTB but I can understand it being OP. Anyway, I'm sticking with my original six suggestions but very open to criticism and comments.

Agreed. If you want to put it on level playing field then CT should be reflect-able.

All your posts mention Whitesmiths man lol. Anyway, sure you can spit out 6-8k on a "semi-redux" player.... but what about those SinX popping off insane EDP dmg, Clowns raining down 40-100k per Vulcan, Champs hitting 150-200k asuras and 15-30k TSS's... 6-8K is nothing... people have an avg of anywhere from 170-350k hp and you expect to kill them with 6-8k melee damage?. A good pvper wouldn't fall for strip/coma/weapon break and even if they did they'll come back ready for you and good luck killing them twice. Priests tend to be one of the first targets when someone goes on a killing/randoming spree (because we can resurrect). They have Assumptio, Basilica, and Holy Light and thats really about it. Even Basilica won't save you from a lot of classes. Have fun being a PKer's buff slave. I would definitely not suggest priest as your first class. There are so many better options right now. I would wait until you've become more accustomed to pvp and the custom items on this server to branch out to this class.

JUKE! BOX! HERO~! -Foreigner

Supream's idea here is interesting. We tested some things with undead armor in game and you can still wear gtb/maya to counter this. Also, I know some people might be afraid that boosting heal would help out champions too much, well all we have to do is boost the amount that Meditatio helps heal. ATM its 20%... We can raise this and still keep champions the way they are.

I meant like: Super Saiyan Hair : Top Super Saiyan Aura: Mid Saiyan Tail: Lower Are there any vote equips with set benefits? I think it would be nice to have some. Also would give our artists a break from all the cutesy rucksack stuff. (Not that there's anything wrong with the way they look <3)

Hah, I think you meant Edu... Easy mistake, I troll the forums enough to be mistaken. Anyway, if this suggestion is possible then I agree. It would free up more precious GM time for other things. Downside: It decreases player : Administration relationship. I barely ever see the GMs outside of events as is. But I guess thats not a big deal to a lot of people.

Welcome back! I've recently returned for the summer as well, let me know if you need help with anything. Look forward to seeing ya in for_fild01!

Yes. Full keyboards > laptop keyboards IMO There are some other high end gaming keyboard that you can get... I wouldn't know if they make a difference in RO though because I'm not forking over money like that for a keyboard. Another thing you guys haven't mentioned is having a good mouse. I feel a better mouse > a better keyboard.

Hahaha, interesting ideas. I'd like Super Saiyan aura or hair as a vote item as well. Maybe like a set of mid upper and lower head gear that added some set bonus? Maybe +atk speed/ magic atk and lvl 1 frenzy? I dunno. I'd vote that that.

High Priest is my main. Unlike Dr. Tran though, I don't have thanatos card so the whole melee priest thing isn't much of an option. All Priest offensive abilities are very easily countered (coma, divest, holy light, even thana). I wouldn't suggest the class unless you really like it and are willing to deal with being very weak and a big target for PKers. I'd take Perishable's suggestion. Farm for some money and gear on a Wizard then go Stalker. They're much easier to play and much more versatile. I have a suggestion thread open for Priests at the moment, so maybe someday they will be more useful: http://forum.forsaken-ro.net/index.php?showtopic=17679

I agree the server is kind of elitist, but the economy has moved in favor of newer players in the way that you can get most items for much cheaper now. Most newbies are doomed to either donate or spend hours upon hours farming. I wouldn't look for help from the best equipped/riches players.

I made a baby class today and really wish they could use the rings. I hope this is accepted soon!

I've been trying to think of things for a new weapon(s). Thanks for the tips! Edit: I've added some suggestions for new weapons in the original post!

I mentioned a few things that could be done for a new elite weapon. I'll go back and be more specific, thanks.

There are tarot cards that do damage. If you get hit with coma+a damaging card you're dead. Thanks for all the comments so far guys.

Ok, first of all... there is already a topic about Priests I created a while back that I would like to request that a Mod/Gm delete or close. I made it in a bit of a haste and I feel this one will be a much better suggestion. So this post is all about things I think should be changed about the priest class. Before anyone jumps in here and tries to discredit me by saying I just want to make Priest OP because it is my main I will go ahead and say this: Yes, High Priest is my main character (Father Xtopher). But I'm not interested in making this class anything it's not... Please take all of my suggestions from the viewpoint of someone who uses the class a lot (actually probably more than almost everyone else on the server) not from the viewpoint of someone who's just looking to beef himself up. I feel the class incredibly underpowered on this server... I believe it's on the borderline of complete uselessness and that is a damn shame. I'm going to break my suggestions down into segments. 1: Heal. Here is a picture of my character using the skill: As you can see my Priest has 291+62 Intelligence and is healing for 7,660. I don't feel this is an adequate amount for the skill. I know there are Bacsojin Cards that will increase the amount heal does but even with them I don't feel that this skill is particularly useful on this server. I would like for it to be put on par with the other boosts that other classes have gotten. There are two ways I could see this being done. 1: Increase the amount healed. (Classes are spitting out 100k's easy in damage and this skill has a range of about 5-11k) One way of doing this is increasing the Meditatio heal bonus. Right now it adds 20% but if we increase this then we help Priests without making Champions any stronger. 2: Decrease the after cast delay. Heal is not effected by Kiel D-01 card at all, if the delay was taken away one could spam it and it would perhaps be more useful. (It can be spammed while being hit, but not otherwise) 2: Sanctuary. Here is a picture of my character using the skill: As of right now Sanctuary does 777 at level 10 without Bacsojin cards. With Bacsojin cards it's still not very useful at all. This skill is a big player in WOE defense so I understand not wanting to beef it up too much, but given the amount of HP characters and the emps on this server have I feel 777-1400 is not adequate. The above two issues have not always been around. I used to play a long time ago and my priest healed/sanctuary for much more with less int than I have now. People have told me that this was some sort of bug that happened in one of the updates and was never fixed. But it has been about 6-9 months and this still hasn't been fixed.. Is there a reason for this? 3: Scarves. I understand that the administration is hesitant to give the Acolyte branch a scarf because it would be easy to over power champions. I think that the Acolyte branch should get +20 int and +20 agility. Both Priest and Champions would benefit from this and I don't see how it would overpower Champions anymore. If anyone has any other suggestions for this please add them. 4: Elite Weapons. As of right now we have this: It adds 10 int 10 str 15 dex 15% more dmg to demi-humans and 10% hp. I don't have any problems with this weapon but I was really disappointed that there isn't an elite rod, staff, or mace for Priests. I expected something that added some Magic Attack and int, maybe even a bonus to heal and/or sanctuary but was let down to see they only get a book (Yet, it is a very good book). Possible Suggestions: High Priest Elite Staff[4] INT +15 VIT +15 MAtk +20%-Allows Magnus Exorcismus to affect Demi-Human monsters High Priest Elite Staff[4] Int +15 Vit +15 Matk+ 20% Heal and Sanctuary amount +10% *High Priest Elite Mace[4] AGI +15 STR +30 +15%Damage to demi-human monster-Allows the use of LV10 Mammonite/Bash. (Thanks to Sorrow for suggestions) 5: HP. Priests have pretty measily HP on this server. They are generally meant to heal and support, but it can be very difficult to do if you die in just a few hits. Below I have provided some pics of my Priest, his HP,stats, and equipment. No Skolls, but well equipped. Skolls Added Priest Book (10%hp) As you can see my Priest has pretty high end gear stat wise... Yet the hp is still low given my gear and vit, especially compared to other similar classes on this server (Professor for example). I believe High Priest and Champions both get 30% from Tao Gunka. I would like to suggest that the High Priest's bonus be bumped up to about 35-40%. This isn't a huge change but I feel it will help with supporting other players and self defense. 6: Basilica. I've noticed a boatload of things with Basilica that I don't think are correct. It's suppose to be an impenetrable area where all within are safe from outside attack... sadly it falls very short of this. Clowns/Gypsies/Stalkers/Paladins/Professors can all penetrate Basilica. A) Tarot - I don't think Tarot should get through Basilica. Basilica should have a GTB effect for all magic, but as you can see from the picture Clowns/Gypsies can coma you and kill you through Basilica. B) Divest - The Stalker in the following picture was using RSX card to avoid the push-back of Basilica. Thus he could walk in and fully divest me. Even without RSX Stalkers can continue to attempt to strip you while being pushed back and eventually will succeed seeing how you can't do anything while in Basilica. C) Gloria Domini: Gloria Domini can penetrate Basilica and do damage to the people it's suppose to be protecting. D) Magnetic Earth: I believe that Magnetic Earth should nullify Basilica. But on this server I think it's bugged: if a Professor casts it while the skill is up it closes the box, but the Priest still has the Basilica affect (He cannot move, use skills, and cannot be hit or struck with magic). The Priest can also cast Basilica on top of Magnetic Earth, I don't think this should be possible. Here are some screenshots. Basilica is cast. Magnetic Earth is cast. Basilica is cast on top. Also, if people have RSX card and enter an enemy Priest's Basilica they have no after cast delay (meaning skills like Sonic Blow and Vulcan Arrow can be spamed like Firebolt). I may add/edit more to this topic later. Feel free to contribute.

Yea, the two skill thing was what shot it down last time it was suggested. I feel the circumstances might be a bit different now though given the amount of coupons in the market... and it seems like players still like the idea...

The more I afk with Chats selling stuff, then log on to find the people who wanted it have logged off, the more I want this feature added.
