Posted 12 February 2013 - 08:28 PM

I am currently a lv.15 High Acolyte and it is just a pain to even get this character to 70 so I can finally TI it out to AB. I have to burn a lot of Straws, yes!, a lot of Straws, just to get this damn character to 56, and a lot of Maneaters, just to get to 70. I am starting to lose hope and I don't know what to do anymore. Maybe, I should go to Vatican City, meet Pope Benedict XVI, and ask for their help on how to get to AB. Well, I am desperate, I just have to try these out, and maybe I can get my answers.
I have the FS build, meaning I have no DEX, no STR, and no AGI whatsoever. I have a very low SP to even Heal Bomb, yet no SP Recovery like Mages does, thus my only means of leveling is through my poor melee performance which does very little damage, very slow ASPD, often times misses, and consumes a lot of HP pots. It is a sluggish way to leveling. It is very hard to level! that is my point. I could not even Heal Bomb until I probably get to Priesthood.
Don't tell me to Heal Bomb because I could not Heal Bomb. There's just not enough SP to even do that. 3 to 4 lv.10 heals and my SP is completely drained out. Straws??? What the hell do you think I am??? The Smucker's Company??? I will not waste money on Straws.

Fix this goddamn issue about the Priest class. Do you expect me to melee my way out to Priesthood with a Grey's Anatomy build??? It is very hard to level up due to my FS setup, and very few gear options. My SP is at around 70-80 and my HP is 100, with no SP Recovery. I could not even provide Heal for myself, better yet, Heal Bomb.

This is indeed the hardest class to level up. Atleast a Monk goes with the battle build and not lag behind as an Acolyte. A Mage has SP Recovery, so they can spam, and as an Acolyte with a pure INT build, SP is my problem. 80 SP at 40 INT??? Heal eats up more than 20 SP, so definitely, I could not Heal Bomb, and I will have to bear the painful and slow melee method of leveling.

This is Ridiculous! I am making a good time investments in here. Don't even talk about Merchants, atleast they have the STR, AGI, and DEX to aid them with their leveling. It is not as painful as an FS Acolyte with or without a skill. I will have to melee my way to 25 which will take me forever, and it will burn a lot of pots than most characters, till I can get enough SP to Heal Bomb and consumes Straws for that till I can get my to 56, in which case, I will just buy out my way to 70 with Maneaters from my Reset Stone farm because simply, there is no other quick way to get to 70.

You should probably get the Eden Group gear. At level 26 job 10 (41 INT, 9 Dex, 9 Luk, everything else 1) you should have a total of 213 sp and should easily be able to 1 shot a number of Undead Monsters. As others pointed out though, FS is not really the build to go if your'e just starting out since you're pretty dependent on partying in order to level (which typically doesn't happen until you get in range for TIs).

What I did (and that doesn't mean it's the way you have to do it, but it worked well for me) is leveling as Battle High Aco/Priest and reset to Full Support once hitting level 70+. No frustration, easy leveling (in Overlook Dungeon) and a bit of fun.

I got to lv.56 as a Battle Priest. I am now an FS, no one, for some odd reason, will take a Battle Priest into a TI party.
It is godforsaken hard to level it up. you know I was doing only 15 damage, and 50%-60% of the time, I was completely missing. That was during lv.1 - lv.14.

It's... it's called "Full support". Being "full support" doesn't work out well if you have, you know, nobody to support.

FS builds work very well in parties with others. Hell, simply having warp portal will make you loved, especially at low levels, since it means you can go back and forth to get eden TIs.

oh for the love of all that is holy instead of complaining about everything take the time from writing these long, pointless rants and invest it into learning a little something about the class you're playing.

i leveled my (FS!) aco and high priest just whacking things with a +9 chain or something, it's not that difficult. or if you're really that lazy, invest in some mercenaries. -_-

x2 exp is coming, too.

I will have to do this with two accounts then, otherwise I will have to bear the slow leveling, with the Acolyte sitting down at the entrance, leeching and doing absolutely nothing. As a reborned character, do I get an unlocked Holy Light from the start??? because it says, that the Holy Light quests is for job 30+.

Why do you even continue to play this class, if all you can do is whine about it? Go play something else. :/

Gee, I wonder why when they need actual healers and not paperweights.

I FS'd 2 Acos from 1-99 to 3rd job with patience.

No fancy gears or expensive gears, just basic eden gears and/or cheap gear you can find for a couple mil. (500k-3mil range)

It's not hard to level as an FS because almost all the spots with undead monsters from 1-99 are literally accessible as you progress into your levels. 1-30 will take the longest though since you're trying to level up to be able to manage yourself in payon cave.

This is indeed the hardest class to level up


Try leveling as a Novice to Super Novice then Past 99 to 150, then come back to me as the "hardest class to level up"

Actually, any Priest build can support in a pinch, FS builds are just the best at it for obvious reasons. The OP's constant stream of negativity is most likely what has made people wary of taking him/her anywhere, not his/her build.

Could support in a Pinch. But a Hybrid/FS is more likely to last longer than a battle due to the longevity of SP. :p_swt:

One of my ABs is already 150/50. I could make him battle for pure fun but nah... I have friends to help. Need to work on my 115 AB and stop slacking off... :p_sick:
