GW Online: Priest Guide




I've recently played GodsWar Online on the Ares Server and decide to have a priest for my character and this guide has been very help full. Thanks to chiezee from the GodsWar Online Community. Full discussion available on the GW Online forums.

Cupcake's Priest Guide V.1

Priest guide

I made this guide based on my experience during alpha. I'm not saying this is a perfect guide. Criticisms are welcome

PRIEST is a well rounded character that can heal support allies as well as attack foes or enemies

PROS CONS
Healing Long cooldown of skills
Can do solo leveling Low m. attack
Gaia care is awesome Slow killer
Decent defense physical & magic Skills uses a lot of MP

II. STATS

3 WAYS TO BOOST STATS GUILD ALTAR , LEVELING TALENTS and Gears

A. GUILD ALTAR
How to gain stats from guild altar? By joining a guild You can do guild quest to earn Contribution points. This contributions points are then used to make a sacrifce to your chosen altar. DIfferent altars gives different stat bonuses. Important stats to focus are MATK, Hitting, defense, MDEF, damage absorb. If you have an altar that gives dodge bonus you can level this too.

B. TALENTS
> talents are passive skills that raises character stats

How to level Talent? You need Talent Point (TP) to level a Talent
> TPs can be obtained by killing mobs or doing quest with TP rewards
Note: you dont have to focus on 1 talent i dont believe in pure support priest. why ? because we dont have that much support skills only 2 healing skills with not so good cooldowns. in Godswar we were meant to fight and support. so try to balance your talents and see what fits you most.

How i distributed my TP?
At Low levels: Focus on Basic Defense and MATK talent path
By the time you reach level 40 you might want to save TPs for m.def and damage absorb

LVL 50-60: Mobs at this level are magic type.
At lvl 50 you should have at least 190+ mdef & 170+ absorb ( with mdef gears) continue to add Damage absorb path to lvl 8 or 9 then continue adding Basic Defense and MATK path
* try compounding Mdef gears before lvl 50

LVL 70+: If your defense is enough to take on MOBS of the same level try adding talents to healing path and if you feel like your losing too much mana and regenerating less , add some on Mp restoration path.Dont forget to keep adding on MATK path. At this point you should have atleast gained the title of Silver Priest ( requirements: lvl70 , 1000 MATK).

LVL 80+ Continue on Def and MATK. This time you might want to consider adding up on crit resist & dodge path . why you ask? its better to dodge than to take bombs and crits especially among other class that even with your high def and mdef they still hurt you or even 1HKO you. considering the long cooldown of skills; dodging even just 1 hit is significant. Add some HP too to avoid being 1HKO especially against champs. Continue balancing your talents dont focus on 1 path cause at higher lvl, talents consume alot of TP's so its better to add some on other important ones.

At level 92 my talents were set up like this (with stats) :


This is just a sample of my talents. Im not telling you to follow this. my defense was without mana shield on that pic, healing was without the title of silver priest. i ended up alpha lvl 95 my defense with mana shield was 1.2k, hitting 280+, dodge 330+, Matk 1470+ I wasn’t able to take SS of my talents and stats when I was lvl 95 . ( my stats are with gears on btw)


C. GEARS
You should have atleast 2 sets of gears. melee def and mdef

For PK gears
* I recommend gears with 3-4 stats. Def, dodge, healing, hitting & MATK.
HEAD GEAR: MATK head gear with 3-4 stat of the mentioned above
BODY,LEGGINGS,SHIELD,CUFF,PENDANT,BELT : get with the recommended stats
RING: when you're 80 you'll get a ring which has MATK base stat, Try compounding until you get a MATK additonal stat.
GLOVES: it has a hitting rate as base stat. compound it until u get a MATK as additonal stat.

III.LEVELING
Where to level?
1-20 : Newbie guide
20-30: You'll get Quest where you need to kill elite, Boy girl quest.
I recommend that at this level you start doing dailies and repeated quests.
30 onwards: I recommend do dailies, repeated quest, and do quest with TP rewards.
* when doing repeated quest, do quest that only requires you to kill mobs. Don't do repeated quest that require you to collect something ( tooth, bubbles etc) this takes time to finish.
*Note- when doing dailies always check what gears you are wearing. You might end up using mdef gears on melee mobs. Happened to me many times.

IV.PK TIPS

WARRIOR: Have high def(physical&magic), high HP restoration, High HP, high Absorb. In short hard to kill.
TIP: If the warrior has less than 250 hitting, you'll likely to dodge most of his attacks, duel them head on. Use your strongest attacks (holy light, dripstone) use windblade as fill up skill while holy light and dripstone are at cooldown. Dont bother using different skills like ice cone, ice shot , windblade has better damage. HEal when necessary & use gaia care at tight moments.
* if warrior have superior stats dont even dare to engage.

CHAMP: They are th PK kings, Have high hitting, high attack, high dodge, & crit
TIP: Dueling them needs alot of strategy, patience & running lol. You should have atleast studied their skills cooldown & range. You should have enough HP to withstand their 2 strongest AOE. BAsically the strategy here is HIT & RUN. We have healing and they dont. Just pray they dont crit often. Make them loose their target so move around but dont get stuck on barriers!. use holy light, dripstone, run on cooldown engage with gaia care & hope you dont miss.
* dont dare fight champs 10 lvls higher than you or higher level gears.
Mage & Priest soon to come.
Have Fun!
