Do You Know Who You Are?
Do you know your role as a Priest? This week Martuk examines the Priest
archetype for Age of Conan Hyborian Adventures (AoC) and what their
role in a group might be like in part three of his four part "Know Your
Role" series. The Priest class in many traditional MMOGs are the back
of the row class. They heal from the distance and keep the group going.
The AoC Priest will be more hands on, and will have other
responsibilities to go with healing. Find out what Martuk thinks this
class's role will be.
If the soldier is the figurehead of any good group
then the priest is
undoubtedly the backbone. The priest is the lifeblood of a group. They
keep them healed and standing to carry on the fight until their foes
have been vanquished. A good priest can see a group through the most
dire of times with skillful healing and excellent use of their skills
in a pinch, but a priest that doesnt know their role will bring a
group down faster than anything.
