Overview

High Priest is the Transcendent variant of Priest. The High Priest is the epitome of spiritual calm. A bulwark in the storm of chaos, he is more than capable of protecting his comrades when faced with even the most ferocious enemy. Despite the many skills taught to them by the Priests of Prontera Church, they still need to learn a few more from the Gods themselves. Now able to create areas where no violence may occur, they are able to Heal more, Bless more and Serve even more. Their skills are truly gifts from God. High Priests get further improved tanking ability thanks to Assumptio. The additional statpoints from being a Transcendent, coupled with Meditatio, makes them able to spread their stats out further, which in turn makes new builds like the DEX/VIT/INT WoE possible.

Builds

INT/DEX ME

• STR: 1-30
• AGI: 1
• VIT: 1-70
• INT: 105-125
• DEX: 110-120
• LUK: 1

The INT/DEX ME High Priest build is the staple Magnus Exorcismus build with a kick. They can solo well in certain places with a lot of Demon or Undead thanks to Assumptio boosting their fragile build. Also thanks to the added statpoints, they can optionally get by with less INT or DEX for some added VIT. They double well as WoE Sanctuary and Safety Wall slaves.

INT/VIT Support

• STR: 1
• AGI: 1
• VIT: 90-100 (For Status Immunity)
• INT: 120-126
• DEX: 1-40+ (Non-WoE builds do not need Dex as much as WoE builds)
• LUK: 1

The INT/VIT support High Priest build is the staple Full Support Priest build with a kick. The very high INT coupled with a high level Meditatio grants them 2700+ heals and nearly unlimited SP, while maxing their VIT makes them great tanks in most PvM scenarios like mobbing or MVPing thanks to Assumptio.

Due to their low DEX they tend to stay away from Sanctuary, unless they plan on getting Safety Wall later on. They usually go for higher levels of Angelus, sometimes Gloria and Magnificat instead.

DEX/VIT/INT

• STR: 1-20
• AGI: 1
• VIT: 80-100
• INT: 78-84+ (base)
• DEX: 80-100
• LUK: 1

This build tries to combine the best of both worlds: they get fairly high VIT like a support build, but also decent DEX. While they'll have slower cast times than a ME High Priest, they will be more durable and status resistant because of their added VIT. The build heavily relies on the added benefits of Meditatio due to their lack of INT, although they still have much better SP Regen and Heal-Power than regular Priests.

They tend to get skills that can be useful during WoE, like Safety Wall and Sanctuary. Angelus is usually dropped for even higher levels of Safety Wall while others put those points into higher levels of Kyrie Eleison (Lv. 8). They also generally have lower levels of Gloria (Lv. 1-2) and Magnificat (Lv. 3).

DEX/VIT/STR WoE

• STR: 20-40
• AGI: 1
• VIT: 90-97 (For Status Immunity)
• INT: 50-70
• DEX: 100-120
• LUK: 1

This build is a Full Support WoE High Priest build. While similar to the aforementioned build in concept, there are a few key differences that makes the priest more useful during WoE. They need high VIT not only to survive longer, but also for Status Immunity and to increase the efficiency of potions. Priests are not expected to Heal during Woe, so high INT is unnecessary for this build. This makes it difficult for the High Priest to level solo, but capable priests can still support parties. High DEX and moderate STR are key staples of this build; the DEX is for fast casting, while the STR is to carry consumables during WoE.

Because Heal is not considered important during WoE, Meditatio is mostly dropped in favor of Safety Wall, Sanctuary, and Kyrie Eleison. Some High Priests only have Resurrection Level 1, using their high DEX to make up for the slow cast time. Other builds include B.S Sacramenti and Suffragium.

STR-AGI-INT-DEX-VIT Melee High Priest

• STR: 80-100+
• AGI: 70-100+
• VIT: 30-50+
• INT: 60-80+
• DEX: 50-75+
• LUK: 1-30+ (if they will use Giant Encyclopedia)

A very rare build (very powerful in the future due to the Archbishop skill Duple and coupled with automatic-casting equipment), this build is the staple of the old battle priests before the 2nd jobs. This build is very rare in WoE/PvP scenarios since they don't have skills to amplify attack (though they can use automatic-casting equipment to amplify their power a bit). They can use Assumptio, Sanctuary, Resurrection, Sanctuary (with Spiritual Thrift to lower the SP requirements and make it easier for this build to support).
