Hello,

I'm trying to construct a good skill build for my future Battle High Priest, and I ran into some interesting questions with regards to the new skills

Assumptio vs. Kyrie Eleison - These two skills can't co-exist, it seems, so I'm kind of coming at it from a "one or the other" approach. So which of the two is better?

Spiritual Thrift - Looks like a nice skill with a lot of pre-reqs to get to it. But I never see it mentioned at all when talking about a Battle High Priest. Should I be going for it, or should I be looking elsewhere?

Meditatio - Same as Spiritual Thrift. No one ever talks about it for a BHP. Is it something I should be going for, or is there a reason no one talks about it?

Magnus Exorcismus - Seems useful as crowd control against some monsters, but also seems to take a lot of skills to get to. I'm thinking I should probably skip this, but interested as to what others have to say.

And finally, are there any skills I should bone up on for my Battle HP's inevitable future as a Battle AB?

If I'm totally off the track here, some provided skill builds would be very helpful.

Assump and KE, since you are battle your stats are more like str/agi/dex >int/vit/luk, by experience i use KE for vit chars and assump for agi ones, but all depends in you in how you feel the skill.

Spiritual thrift, mmmmm i really dont know.

Mediatatio and ME, is more for ME Priests/HP/ARB, dunno how it works for a battle priest, but you can spend those skills points to max another ones, mediatatio is useful too for FS Priests.

Hope this help you.

Sorry I just find this bad advice.

KE is more appropriate for a character with a lot of flee.
Misses don't eat your KE protection.
Assumptio is better for those who can't dodge. If you are prioritizing one for yourself it will be KE. However as a battle AB you will have room to get both.

Meditatio is no longer standard for the battle HP build but,
it used to be. The SP cost of basic Heal is a lot lower renewal and for many battle HP, they find themselves not needing the extra sp regen. I'm not saying don't get it just make sure
it suits your needs.

Spiritual Thrift is good. Get it. Reduces the cost of your skills.

ME require Matk which as a Battle HP you probably have little of. It takes up far too many skill points and would best if you avoided it since you are not a int/dex based build .

Thats why i said depends in how he plays with the skills, since some friends with agi stats prefer the assump and i prefer the KE to avoid some hits in a mob (i saved my live a lot of times with the KE). Maybe i dont use the skills in the "right way" but its how it works with me.

Thanks for the responses! I almost thought I wasn't going to get any.

It seems to me that Kyrie Eleison would be best to focus on since I'm mainly going to be using it as a self-buff, and my build has high AGI. Though I find pullers ask for the buff quite a bit, so I can help them out in the bargain.

Spiritual Thrift is good? Nice to hear.

Meditatio... I'll likely be getting anyway. I don't know, the extra heal yield can't hurt, and I'm not sure it'd be much more useful elsewhere.

This is the skill build I've ended up with:

Mace Mastery 10
(Demon Bane +7 = 10)
Spiritual Thrift 5
Kyrie Eleison 10
Magnificat 3
Gloria 3
Increase SP Recovery 7
Status Recovery 1
Resurrection 1
Lex Divina 5
Lex Aeterna 1
Imposito Manus 3
Aspersio 3
Meditatio 10

Comments or suggestions are welcome.

Drop SP Recovery Down to 4.

You could max demon bane, asperio or imposito manus. I suggest Demon Bane. Mastery skills
are good now and give nice attack bonus.

and for your consideratiion,

You could drop lex aeterna from your build and get a owl baron carded accessory.
You gonna be ctrl clicking most of the time anyways.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. When I put (Demon Bane +7), it means essentially I'm adding 7 skill points to Demon Bane, which is already at 3 from Aco levels. Maxing Demon Bane is a requirement for Spiritual Thrift.

and for your consideratiion,

Might be a good idea, actually. Since Demon Bane is already maxed, what would you suggest from the points I would get reducing SP Recovery and not taking Lex Aeterna?

EDIT: Increase SP Recovery 5 is also a requirement for Meditatio.

Sorry I always fumble my priest reqs.

Let's see,

I guess max Impo it is then?
That seems to be the next logical thing to max.

assump vs KE, for me KE is better since it blocks attack of course with certain counts depending on the skill level while assump only reduce the damage. it depends to you though.
spiritual thrift i don't think I've heard that or seen that skill before
as for meditatio, I'm quite sure it's for FS HP since it has something to do with increasing your heal.

and then I suggest you add some points in your Demon Bane too. And Lex Aeterna and Divina they could be quite useful.
I'm a TU type but Battle and TU hp does have a little similarities with skill in use. And do add mace mastery too.
TU is limited to undead mobs unlike Battle priest, my friend told me they're used for pvp and woe but they're not really the chars you can call for support.
