the Chanter class blends just enough familiar elements from previous
MMOs for players to feel completely at home while stepping into the
role while offering plenty of unique features to keep things fresh and
interesting. The net result is a priest class that functions both as
rugged melee fighter and excellent support class all wrapped into one
neat package. To help give players a better understanding of what sets
the Chanter apart from the crowd, we’ve put together a brief
overview of things you should know:
Besides your fancy new
Mantras, there are a few things thrown into the
mix at level 10 that will greatly enhance your ability to fully step
into a melee role. The most obvious of these will be the ability to
wear chain armor and use a shield, both of which offer a nice
protective boost either when solo or serving as your group’s
off-tank. If you’re like me and are continually baffled by
the persistence of priests
in MMOs being pigeonholed into wielding a
mace as your primary weapon, there’s good news; you also have
the option to use a hefty 2H staff for a noticeable increase to your
DPS at the cost of the added protection of a shield in your offhand.
