Chanters rely heavily on fortification magic and auras that benefits all allies in range. Their healing spells acquired from priesthood are still retained, though not as potent compared to clerics. They use the same weapons as clerics (mace, shield, staffs) and the ability to wear chain armors. Though most chanters prefer staffs, the mace and shield combo provides bonus HP and defense, increasing a chanter’s survivability. If an emergency arises, chanters can become medium tanks and fight in the frontlines while providing support and healing at the same time. Chanters are close-combat oriented compared to clerics. With the help of passive skills dedicated to resist damage, knockback, knockdown and stun, chanters live up to their tasks as both frontline fighters and support characters. Exploiting chanter’s skills the right way can get you a very powerful character.

The chanter’s skill tree consists mainly of mantras, combat and healing skills. The chanter’s ability to stack the effects of several mantras at once makes them an invaluable support character to any party. Party members should be within the range of mantras projected by chanters in order to benefit from them. Some mantras increase the party’s stats, increase their morale and some also allow HP/MP recovery (heal-over-time). The range of these mantras can be further increased by unlocking the Boost Mantra Range passive skill. While in flight, chanters can also increase their mantra’s range by 100% by unlocking the corresponding passive skill as well. Chanters are also capable of debuffing or lowering enemy stats when attacking, making them very effective frontline attackers. Starting a chain using these attacks can allow chanters and their allies to deal more damage to the target. Chanters can still heal and revive fallen characters though not as effective as clerics. Chanters’ stigma skills are no different; they can deploy even more powerful chants with the help of stigmas capable of unleashing several effects in one go. Like clerics, chanters can perform these skills in the middle of a fight even while under assault. Chanters do not have a passive skill that reduces threat level unlike clerics; this is because chanters do not need to keep distance from enemies nor do they need to draw too much aggro.

Chanters can change the tide of battle with their support auras and chants. They can also double as a party’s primary melee fighter if ever the situation calls for it. This versatility in the battlefield makes chanters a good choice for players that wanted to act as secondary healers while being able to fight up close without worrying too much. The variety of mantras they can share with other players makes chanters very party-friendly characters though they can pretty much stand alone in solo quests.

Clerics are ultimate healers that have access to the best healing and recovery spells. This versatility makes them one of the most sought-after characters in any group. Clerics can equip maces, staffs and shields. This small variety of weapons provide considerable advantage to clerics. Staffs provide much needed magical and DPS boosts while the mace and shield provides added protection and HP, thus, increasing the cleric’s survivability. As more powerful version of priests, clerics can now wear Chain Armors, providing adequate protection if ever they draw the attention of enemies. Clerics can effectively target enemies using mid-range attacks, and perform a handful of melee skills if ever the targets get near. However, since they’re not natural fighters, clerics will need to distance themselves from an enemy mob, especially if they found themselves drawing the aggro of enemy forces.

Clerics have a magnificent list of healing and offensive skills at their disposal. The have passive skills like healing mastery that increases the potency of healing skills by a certain percentage per level or even lowering threat to avoid getting targeted often. The priest’s basic buffing skills are still present while skills that remove status ailments are also added. However, one of the most notable skills of clerics are their impressive resurrection and recovery spells. These powerful spells can heal/resurrect multiple targets at once, at great distances. Clerics can also summon stationary “servants” that shoot ranged projectiles at the cost of its own HP and even use a skill that will root enemies for a brief period of time; which can be used to keep distance from enemies. The best thing about clerics’ skills are the minimal MP cost for each skill. Clerics won’t need to worry too much about overcasting and spending too much mana – especially if they have unlocked the Meditation/ Refresh Mind skill that slowly regenerates their mana at a cost of some of their HP (which shouldn’t be a problem since healing is a cleric’s specialty after all). This arsenal of very useful skills are even enhanced by having Stigma skills – ranging from skills that lower the casting time of all spells by half, halt mana consumption for a few seconds when casting or even heal every party member in range while giving them the ability to absorb a certain amount of damage for a brief period of time.

When playing as a cleric, players should expect that they’ll normally get invites to join small groups or large parties. Knowing the right cleric strategies and tactics can make the cleric one of the most desirable class when playing in groups. Should they opt to travel alone, clerics should keep their distance and avoid too much time in the frontlines.

Priests are undoubtedly the backbone of any successful party or partnership. They play a major role in keeping the party healthy and casting buffs in between. They can also resurrect fallen allies if needed. Priests are invaluable allies in any party; due to their importance, they may be priority targets of enemy players, especially in PvP fights. Since the best body gear priests can equip are only leather armors, they will definitely need the protection and assistance of their sturdier allies, preferably of the warrior class/sub-class. Priests can use maces and staves as their primary weapons. They are also the only class other than the warriors that can wield shields for additional protection. After reaching level nine, priests are ready to take their ascension quests become Daevas and later on choose to become one of the two subclasses: to become a Chanter or a Cleric. Chanters are support characters that can debuff enemies and buff allies while Clerics are ultimate masters of healing and resurrecting. Both of these subclasses will be discussed in detail on separate articles.

Priests start with two basic spells: one for healing and ranged damage spell. Priests take advantage of this self-sufficiency early on, as well as the the capability to endure continuous combat with very little downtime. As a Priest levels up, more spells are added to their arsenal, such as hp and armor boosting, heal-over-time recovery, resurrection spell and a melee attack capable of slowing down enemy attack speed for a set period of time while causing damage, just to name a few. Starting as a low level priest won’t be that tedious, thanks to good balance of damaging and healing skills. Priests have very basic combat combos, relying mostly in an opener attack (Hallowed Strike for example) followed by a finisher. This is expected; since priests are not primarily built for close combat. The priest skill set is pretty much balanced with healing, buffing and damage skills. A good priest will know how and what skill to use at any given time; would it be an attack that stuns the enemy, followed up by a temporary stat boost or a much needed resurrecting spell.

Priests are one of the most in-demand character classes. Any party would like to have at least a good backup priest in their ranks since most combat scenarios require constant healing. Starting priests can practice healing and supporting fellow players which in turn may potentially accommodate them to their first groups. Priests can handle solo missions but they are most effective when having mutual benefits in a party. Maintaining priests are recommended for average players since healing allies while avoiding getting too damaged themselves require quick reactions and planning. Priests are unarguably an integral member of any party. Efficient priests are very good team-players, working with team mates to ensure victory against hordes of enemies.
