Appreciate thy Priestesses! | Forums

[GroundZero2006]

I'm growing in concern at all the multiplayer games i've played recently...

The typical team seems to be made up of:

- Majority Mages who end up spamming Lightning and massing AoEs, killing their teammates.

- Few Assassins

- One or Two Archers

- One Warrior

Most people seem to suicide the moment they get near death to stop people getting kills.

Mages run away from melee brewing up a massive spell, and turn and let it rip, and often survive it themselves, killing their chasers.

NO TEAMS have Priests!!!

Priests need to receive 'frags' for healing people, and/or getting exp for people who they soulmark etc.
Teams seem to function virtually flawlessly with spamming of Mages and Assassins, but alot harder with Archers and Warriors, and never Priests.

healing delivers great xp. i play as a preist sometimes. people dont play preistess because it is not as much a killing class as others. and it also takes patience. healing players is how you will make level 3. also USE SOUL MARK! i find that soul marking enemy players from a distace often acts as a death sentence. because people are hungry for xp. also when you heal alot, players will kindof orbit you and you get defense that way. a lone preistess is fodder for just about any class she comesup against... so stick together.

Right, so why are everyone and their dogs Archers and Mages?

You underestimate the tenacious mindset of some. Get into the average gamer's mind. He wants HIGH STATS, big kills and massive ownage. Sad but true. Just keep in mind there are good people out there

Well said mate. I can live without the kills (pun intended) so long as the team does well and I have some fun.

Sometimes if I spawn alone I can find myself wasting a few precious minutes of 2 or 3 players' time as they try to kill me. They nearly always do (or I get away) and sometimes they will chase me right into my team mates and die quickly. All because they wanted to kill the easy priest. That's when I really enjoy the class. Hilarious.

I play priestess more and more these days ( that is when I don't get the mouse lag ****), but that is because I allways look at who are playing in the servers, and choose my mates. Priestess needs appreciation, and with good companions they get it. Priests are ver, very useful. I very seldom play attacking priest, only when i find myself alone, in a group of more I advise all priests to play uspport. I say that, because I hate it, when I'm dueling another warrior (me being one) and my priest is brambling the area instead of healing me. I sometimes sprint through the brambles after I kill the opponent just to teach those type of priests a lesson.

Havn't played since the update, but prior to that they rock. Seems they can still heal, and that is what makes them so useful. Being able to heal team mates is such a game winner for me. People seem to appreciate a heal just when they were about to die, and watching one teammate tear through three enemeies due to health support is quite satisfying

I always play priestess... the name is dingleberry... it ****s me because they are chicks... but whatever, I am playing from OZ so my ping is **** on most servers... Problem is once you get to about level 7, you really bottom out...i.e it is hard to go up level.... I haven't tried specializing heal vs corrupt... but healing, rezzing soul eating and all that jazz - run you out of xp at about level 7....... so i sit there stuck.

And if there is a Priestress in the Team she goes all upon the enemys at herself. F.e. I was at low-hp like 1/16 and there was a enemy archer coming and the Priestress who was also there just grabbed her staff and tries to slay the archer while I was dying through his arrows. I blocked at least 3 of them then the 4th hit and killed me. I hate that. But there are some really good and skilled priestress with healing and ressurect spells they are at least useful. I want to thank all of them.
