Is it me or is the Priest slowing down?
I feel slowly nowadays playing my priest, especially in hard dungeons.
Dunno if is because I play with an Xbox controller, but is like the animations on some skills are slowly. Prolly I'm too trap
But i'm still thinking priest need a revamp, example Grace should give immunity to any damage, coz when you are the only healer in a party and you, as only healer-priest, die in a danger zone or very close to the boss the party will wipe.
Well is my opinion. New bosses are harder and super faster than before and still the priest is almost exactly like the game was out, just minor changes

I'm not saying priest should be invincible at any circumstances, but I think needs to be revamped.
Mystics got the boomerang skill, that was something different and new, the priest? Well let's simplify the way of casting buffs... Feels like... ah ok, thanks was a great change
typically you revamp things when they're broken or not working
priest works just fine. in fact, only a handful of mystics are solo healing scxm across all the servers whereas priests are doing it easy
when the dungeons actually become hard and everyone needs their heal carries all but the best mystics go running back to their priests. the class is fine.
You either learn the boss's mechanics and get good. Or simply don't play the class?
I've been playing priest for the last 4 years and it is super easy compared to mystic. The class kit is extremely strong for solo-healing and carry potential. If you don't learn the boss mechanics then you'll "die in a danger zone." If you don't learn the boss attack patterns and hit box, you'll "[die] very close to the boss," and "the party will wipe."
The skill cap of the class went down drastically since release. Changes like: stronger shield, lower cool-downs on backstep, fiery, GS, long iframe duration,... made this class extremely easy. As much as I want to respect your opinion and your input in the class that I love, saying priest is hard IS an invalid opinion.
one one hand you're right but on the other did you happen to forget when priests could go from 1% HP to 100% with one self-heal? when kaia's was near unbreakable? priests used to be broken to a ridiculous scale.
also difficulty level will never be an invalid opinion since the entire world doesn't function on the same skill level. making it an entirely subjective, personal, unique experience.
anyway OP, stop using a controller, practice more and buy better asp etchings for your gear.
xbox controller vs keyboard and mouse won't make a difference in attack speed, but it may make it harder to aim for you. if you feel comfortable enough with your skill cool downs I recommend rolling double attack speed if you can. make sure you always have on your battle solutions for the extra aspeed buff also (and etchings, if you can afford them).
priest skill cap has nothing to do with this imo, lol. just having the proper rolls, buffs, gear, and know-how in dungeons.
Additionally, don't use noctenium. It's been known to lag some people because this game is terribly coded.
nostrum gives you effect of attack speed scroll VII.
the nostrums do the same thing as the scroll and if you rolled double aspd on your weapon you shouldn't notice any big difference from how the weapons were before
the only ones who would miss the aspd is those of us who've been rolling double cdr instead
I've been playing Tera since the first time with a controller (4 years more or less), I don't see any reason for changing to the keyboard/mouse.
I was trying double attack speed+Swift Zyrks in VSH, it seems works when I need to sleep/debuff Lakan (besides of energetic iv etchs and noct). The sad part is the low healing
In VSHM I run healing zyrks, healing rolled accessories, and misery gear. Only time I ever die is if I do something dumb, but VSH is stupidly easy for priests. Vast majority of everything can be avoided by fiery escape, backstep is only ever needed for Dakuryon circles and Lakan wave when he switches in and out of soul world.
I don't see any need to buff the priest.
> The only time you ever need iframe on Lakan is during the waves. If you know what you're doing, you almost never need to backstep.

Yeah, you're right, also I don't think backstep is too necessary at dakurion's pizza: when I ran SSH was simply moving my character to avoid the dangerous slices... The key at waves is not to stay/backstep too far, I think so.
You confirm that gear doesn't make a better player
Gotta try harder in VSH.
As rude as it may sound...the biggest improvement to priest would be if you reroll to something else o.o
