Ten Ton Hammer - Taking MMO Gamers to the Next Level!

When most people think of a Priest they think of healers. Some MMOG titles have gone a long way to add things to the priest that give them the ability to branch off into a damage dealing class. Now I understand that a Priest needs some ability to deal damage so that you can level them up. My question is why oh why would a pure Priest which is arguably by their very definition a helper and a healer want to harm people? Well thankfully in Runes of Magic this makes much more sense. If you want to do damage you simply pick up another class.

"Pick another class you say? Why would I do that when my glow alone causes other players to reach for their sunscreen. I mean I am the priest. I am the healer. Big things do not happen unless I am there to keep everybody alive. I mean seriously. Other classes can solo and level up just fine with a few healing potions but if they want to get anything done I had better be there or they will be sending final letters to their family.”

Okay so maybe a Priest alone is good for most games but not for Runes of Magic. Let’s take a look at all the possible dual class options for the Priest and see what we can do.

-Notes-

• Choose wisely – know that choosing a Priest is basically a choice to heal things
• Research – just because the main function of a Priest is to heal things does not completely exclude to you from everything else
• The “class specific” abilities are not accessible for your secondary class
• You only gain 10% of abilities to enhance your primary class

-Final Thoughts-

A Priest is a Priest of course. There are a fair amount of options presented by the dual class choices but as usual when there is a stock class like the Priest you can be expected to heal. If for some reason you have a pension for dealing damage as a class that is normally helping people then Runes will work for you. If you just want to heal and be the best healer you can be then Rune is for you. I like this class and its options. What do you think? Let us know in our Runes of Magic forums!
