Priest -> Full Support (Healer), ME/Adoramus (Demon/Undead killer) or a mix of both - I wonder if battle priests are still viable.. hah
And I know next to nothing about monks!

There is a very useful EXP scaler here made by Wiggles you can use for deciding where to level.
-----------------
If you're going for a full-support priest build, you are probably thinking of these stats (at level 99)
STR: 1
AGI: 1
INT: 99
VIT: 90
DEX: 1-40
LUK: 1
There are some basic build descriptions here: http://irowiki.org/wiki/Priest

There isnt much of a point in trying to make an FS priest anymore. Since it's a sucker move to go from 2nd classs to 3rd class right away.
If you want to make an FS priest, just go Battle Aco > Battle Priest > Rebirth > High Novice > FS High aco > FS High Priest > FS Bishop.
In fact, thats how I really treat all regular 2-1 and 2-2 classes. With how fast it takes to 99 the first time around, whatever build you do plan on getting, just go the build that has the fastest leveling speed for the regular class first. Then you can go the build you want after you become a High Novice.

Of course, I'm not saying that turn ins are the only way to level. Battle priests are really great for soloing and they supply themselves. However, I find that battle priests are quite gear dependant as well. They are fun though. xD

At level 10 take Eden Quests to kill things around Prontera (Rockers, Fabre/Lunatic, etc.). Once you can take the Spore/Worm Tail quests for Payon you're set for a bit, those will shoot your levels right up!
Go to Payon Caves 01 at around lvl 20 to Heal Bomb Skeletons (lvl27 with 612hp) and Zombies (lvl17 with 234hp, you can probably just bash them instead of wasting SP). Dodge the Familiars and Poporings for now (lvl24 with 427hp, and lvl30 with 524hp) although you probably COULD take on the bats you'll be wasting SP healing yourself instead of killing Skeletons.
Make sure you pick up Holy Light and do your Eden Equipment Quests.
Once you break into the early to mid-30s I recommend Comodo East Cave; that's where I am at the moment. Heal bombing Megalodons (lvl 46 with health 1335) is nice EXP but the real bonus is when you can get the Eden Quest for them. With Holy Light you can start killing Thara Frogs (usually getting two in before they get close then time the spell so you start casting just after they try to hit you, or just bash them) so pick up their quest.
The EXP gained from the hunting + the Quest EXP will have you gaining a base level and a nice chunk of the next one each time. The job EXP comes a bit slower but ease of killing gained from upping your INT means your Job will go up faster too.
Like I said, this is just my experience. Read the Guide for FS Priests and do Eden Quests, they help.

And if you are an FS priest, you really should be leveling with a partner instead of soloing the the entire way.
Which is why going Battle Priest or even ME priest would be easier the first time around. Since it actually gives you a real dmg output.

Holy light is utterly useless for an FS priest without the use of a Soul Link. Not even the Cookie card helps much for the dmg. Hell, Holy light is useless for ME preist too. Don't bother wasting the time and item hunting for Holy light. You're gonna get it when you rebirth anyway.

Well as I said it was just my experience and I'm not really qualified to debate about it.
Its easy enough to get the items for Holy Light if you hunt in the Payon Caves; the only thing I needed was the rosary and when you can sell Straws for 2k a piece after hunting Spores for an hour you'd have the extra zenny for a Rosary of all things. Holy Light may not be very good but its certainly helped me along so I mentioned it.

My two cents anyway. xD

Holy Light's damage is really low but if you're decently equipped (namely with something that stops your skills being interrupted), it's a good skill that will eventually kill whatever it is you're trying to kill. For FS priests, levelling in Glast Heim is pretty much a definite must if you want to solo and the mimics there can't be heal bombed. Most support priests that I know don't get any DEX until they hit AB too, so hitting the mimics with their high flee would be impossible if you were just trying to whack it. Holy Light therefore does a good job of getting rid of them as long as your cast can't be interrupted either via a phen/Orleans gown or KE.
My two cents anyway. xD
Why would you try to fight a Mimic? Just teleport away...
It's not like there are very many of them on that map, and healbombing is more than enough to handle everything else in there.
