Hello everyone,

 

Looking to solo some small scale MVPs for silvervines.

I notice a lack of on hit items such as CD on this server.

Is battle priest still viable?

 

Thanks for info.

-Neal

the server is still new and a mix of renewal and classic stuff.

 

so, maybe.

 

some stuff that makes a battle priest could very well not be in the game yet (due to the whole progression server thing)

Until 3rd classes are released, battle Priests are pretty much just crappy Blacksmiths.

I mean, wouldnt it be a "crappy blacksmith" with decent healing + support though?

Not enough SP to support, although WoE blues make that a nonissue, so yeah it's doable.  Unfortunately, healing is useless - once again, WoE pots - and will be much lower than full support build/equips.  No Adrenaline Rush really sucks (fingers crossed they put the scrolls in the Cash Shop).

 

Also most solo players nowadays multiclient with their own personal Priest.

 

As someone who used to play a decked out INT/AGI autocast Arch Bishop, I know for a fact that you need Duple Light to even hold a candle to "legitimate" DPS classes.  And in the end, it's still just a gimmick build, not something that was ever meant to be viable.  They are definitely one of the most fun and flashy things to play though, that's for sure.

auto cast is expensive build.

right now I don't think priest could do it without blowing $$ on pots and dumpin str agi for 99 vit. I can barely hit 183 aspd and still get 1hko by mob skills. there is not  enough stats yet to get the vit  an int in a range that would tank.

I mained battle priest for quite a few years on iRO sakray.

You wont be doing solo small mvps. Maybe mini boss. Of course you can be a support for others doing mvp.

It would be a good class to pick at start of server, or if youre super poor. They spend little zeny(bgems/aspd pots) so you can focus on gear solely. Can solo almost any map. Plenty of blacksmiths to party with(mino map has tons), doesnt have to be share exp just trade his AR for your agi bless asperio.

Battle priest take adv of every stat.
I recomend high str/agi, med vit/dex/luk, low to no int. You can solo undead/demon very well with asperio. Or head to Mino/Pasana and farm there happily(takes 40+ vit build) Raydrics are great too(tele from abyss) many good spots for a bp.

Equips are cheap on this server.
+5-8 stunner(make yourself)
yoyo/kobold/mantis clips(your choice) after 90 go with whatever your highest stat is ex: if str go ring[1], if agi go brooch[1]
+5-7 pantie/undershirt combo(make and find yourself easy)
+5-7 martyr shoes ( +9 firelock if youre rich)
+5-7 Buckler w/-dmg% vs race.(Some maps dont use your shield, and get more aspd)
+5-7 Snake hat
Opera Mask/Masqerade/anything until sunglass[1] comes out and vanberks(insane OP on BP)

I made a battle priest on this server specifically because my friend is going to be playing battlesmith, so we give each other free buffs and I can warp, he can vend. We're gonna be an awesome farming team. Otherwise I would not advise playing a battle priest if you want to be "viable".

Its a great first charater especially on a new server. You save tons over time on warp,bwings,flywings,potions. You can also sell warps on the side. You can function as a support for very small groups if you dont want to solo. Duo is great with archer/sin/blacksmith because you can help kill while supporting.

BP are in limbo until trans classes are opened.

We had a battle priest luring HO's in ct for us a few days ago, he/she put the knights to shame. The priest was luring HUGE amounts of mobs to us and taking little to no dmg.

 

Battle Priest can actually be really freaking good at making money They have access to asperiso to farm Nifflheim, they can even spam kyrie, gloria and impo. For 1 vs 1 mob farming BP's can be crazy good but i wouldn't mvp with one lol

MVPs? I'm not so sure, however if you're looking for a pretty much self sufficient character for farming purposes; they're a strong choice.
I personally have never really MVP'd but I do sometimes farm cards/pricey drops for a few hours (i get bored easy D= ) and the easiest class I've ever played with was my battle Aco. ^^;
She had decent hits, she could buff herself, undead areas are super easy and as stated likely would be decently cheap to gear.
To be totally honest I'm not sure why it wasn't my first character on RE. ; -;'

Off-Hand: +4 Buckler of Athena (Ambernite Card)

 

This is the only thing I would stray away from.  Ambernite needs to be updated to about +20~50 Defense to be remotely viable in Renewal.  Gravity Korea never updated 80~90% of all old cards and weapons to make them worthwhile in Renewal (but continue to release new broken gears/cards...lol, and then there's the joke of Eden gears outstripping in value virtually anything not worth 200m and Trans+ only, which thankfully we won't see for awhile).

 

This is one of many that is rendered useless in Renewal.

 

That said the rest of your recommendations are pretty solid.

I don't think it's worth using a shield with the severe ASPD penalty that Renewal introduced.  Thanks to Kyrie, Safety Wall, Sanctuary, and a slew of other defensive spells, you want to focus on maximizing DPS and let your support spells do the, uhh, supporting.

you definatly want a thara frog shield for woe/pvp and for raydric and while those skills will defiantly work you don't unlock em all till around job 40.

You could probably just go with one of these on shield for leveling:

 

  • Ant Egg - +5% HP (better than TBE when you have more than 8100 HP)
  • Bigfoot - 30% damage from Insect race monsters.
  • Horn - 30% damage from Long-ranged attacks.
  • Khalitzburg - 30% damage from Demon race monsters.
  • Orc Warrior - -30% damage from Brute race monsters.
  • Rafflesia - -30% damage from Fish race monsters.
  • Sky Petit - -30% damage from Dragon Monsters.

 

 

I also forgot you can go the with the AGI/CRIT Build if you want too (not many do that though). I always found it interestingly unique.

 

Lv. 99/50 Stats

STR: 53+7 (With Lv. 10 Increase BLESS you'll have 70)

AGI: 81+7 (With Lv. 10 Increase AGI you'll have 100)

VIT: 35+5

INT: 15+5 (With Lv. 10 Increase BLESS you'll have 30)

DEX: 36+4  (With Lv. 10 Increase BLESS you'll have 50)

LCK: 71+9 (with Gloria you'll have 110)

 

 

Recomended Gear

Main Hand: +7 Dbl Critical Boned Chain (x2 Soldier Skeleton Card, Skele-Worker Card)

Off-Hand: +4 Excellent Buckler (Andre Egg Card)

Head: +4 Ghost Bandanna

Mid/Lower: Phantom of Opera (Mid/Low)

Armor: +4 Hard Saint's Robe (Pupa Card)

Back: +4 Mocking Muffler (Whisper Card)

Feet: +4 Light Shoes (Chonchon Card)

Accessory's: Rosary of Counter x2 (x2 Kobold Card)
