Sorrow Posted August 3, 2011 Report Posted August 3, 2011 'While attacking' seems easy enough to manage ^^ Priests often have to relly on autocasting spells so seeing priests whacking people with a book isn't anything new and totally out of the concept of the class... "Repent...! *whacks the eretic with a bibble* ...For your sins! *random Asura Strike from Ifrit rings*" Alternatively, the book could grant the user the abillity to cast Lv 1 Gospel; at level 1, it is too useless to be as great for support as the Paladin's is. But even on lv 1, it can be used to undo the link, seeing as one of the points against the suggestion that actually came from a priest user was "We sometimes need to be out of link to play well, or we can get destroyed by maya." Gospel is a 'religious' skill, so it isn't totally out of the class's concept, i'd say it fits them well actually; you see more monks/priests singing than Church Warriors. i'm well aware Gospel also undoes Strip Effects, but i honestly don't think priests can become overpowered by this seeing as it also undoes all the buffs the priest has, and re-equipping plus recasting buffs can be a bit of a hassle. Against one biased argument "Priests are a supporting class." Did it ever occour to you that Impositio Manus and Aspersio, buffs meant to help on offense, can be cast on self by a priest? Lex Aeterna can be used even if the priest is alone? The Soul Link buffs the damage inflicted with Holy Light, and not the amount Heal recoveries? That they possess the skill Mace Mastery(a skill that improves the ATK force of a weapon)? Though as it might not be for us with our F sets, Scarves and F Soldier cards, Undead property armor is a great asset for woe and PvP on low rates, and it opens the user up for Magnus Exorcismus? That there's an array of legit items that either boost Holy Light & Magnus Exorcismus's damage or grant priests autocasting of attack abilities? Priests have combat potential. Also this is a PvP server, every class needs to be able to carry their weight on a battle field. If RO wasn't supposed to be PK all over the place(the PK system was never implemented on iRO and kRO), then i guess priests can be more combat efficient in a more agressive enviroment? i believe this is precisely the reason for the creation of this weapon. You'd be surprised, but most professors on low rate use a build that focus on Vit and Dex while having no Int whatsoever, they don't even master any bolts or get the skill 'Double Cast', they are indeed considered a support class on low rates too, and i'm sure you've already seen just how well a professor can kill on our server... Also, there's always GTB. Priests will never become overpowered with a Holy Light based build...never more than a wizzard or a professor. So i don't see any reason for such terror in your faces... "OMG 999k Holy Light damage!!" *puts on GTB* 8D
xXxJCxXx Posted August 5, 2011 Report Posted August 5, 2011 +1 On making Priest Pvp Viable. +1 On Soul Link While Attacking? and Probably Dispelling Themselves at will just dunno how but the ability to cast Gospel Level 1 is a good idea. Level 1 Gospel Gives: Level 1 Effect Chance (%) 55 SP Cost 80 HP Reduction/10 secs 30 SP Reduction/10 secs 20 Just my opinion.
