Stunner is crap, BHP are awesome, >here's a video, and here's a screen of a realistically (not ideally) equipped BP on my test server (+3 foods)


For equip you should focus on str/aspd/crit, cards like Sanin mentioned are useless/unobtainable assuming a reasonable 99 server. Non-crit builds are really good utilizing signum crucis as you briefly see in the video above, and there's a ton of demon/undead specific weapons/equip for priest available.

Quick note about your SS, you are using a double smashing spike, one Orc Lady gives +30% to orcs, so damage won't be as high because it would be +40% total, and can I ask a question? How does the Priest avoid a major hit from knocking him/her out with a few Vit and only a racial shield? I mean, to level from Priest to Rebirth, that priest isn't relying on much defense nor flee, Healing would cost some pretty big deal of SP for solo upkeep, so is it by potting?
And also, if the server TC is playing on has Mid-Gear[1](iRO Chaos,Loki and Iris have them), then Vanberk helps a lot, it gives 2 STR and a chance to greatly increase crit.


PS: Wtf is going on back some posts with Solace card? BPs rely mostly on Agi,Str and in some occasions Crit, they have low INT, not to mention a lowish HP a vit-less BP would have would make him pretty much suicidal, and why were people saying to put INT? it would just make the overall DPS crappier and turn the BP into a crappy BP/FS hybrid

You really don't know how card addition works? 1.3 + 1.3 = 1.6; 1.3 * 1.2 = 1.56, which makes 2 orc lady cards superior to one orc lady and one hydra. I guess that's private server players for you ;_;

That priest has 200+ flee and a good deal of PD, and can heal itself just fine for when it gets hit, or use pots, but I whipped it up quickly simply to demonstrate a crit priests damage output and test aspd.

Also, middle headgears are ridiculously expensive on official servers to the point where anything but mvp/boss cards would be a waste to put in those not carded yet.

I guess that's private server players for you ;_;- I was asking about non-orc/golem mobs where there are no +30% cards against them, not how it works, and you did a slip-up in the orc lady addition, isn't it supposed to be ATK*[1+(0.3+0.3)]?

That priest has 200+ flee and a good deal of PD, and can heal itself just fine for when it gets hit, or use pots, but I whipped it up quickly simply to demonstrate a crit priests damage output and test aspd.- Hmm, but what about Mag's SP cost? Does it really affect having to mag every few seconds? And how much HP/SP does the priest have?

I'm not sure why you're posting that damage would be different on other enemies, as there's always factors such as level of enemy element, size, vit def and skills like demon bane that factor into crit damage equasions. It's certainly possible to do more than that with a double carded 20% spike, if that's what you're getting at.

Err yes, slipped up on that equation, although the end result is still correct  /wah

As for SP, BP don't need a lot if they go crit and don't need signum crucis, or don't use other debuffs. If I seriously made a BP, I definitely wouldn't calc it with superior footgear, but something like low level valk or tidal shoes. That screen is really only a priest testing out dps compared to other crit classes on my server in development (non-rebirth with halved enemy crit shield).

Now I understand, hmm, It kind of makes me want to test a BHP on the test server, I will edit this post with it when I make it, TC might want to check out some posts in iROWiki forums in the Acolyte Subsection, I'm sure that would also help.

EDIT: What about LUK and AGI for a non-rebirth class? They are pretty much on the opposite ends of the Stat-Wheel

EDIT: My screenie turned crap again Q_Q
First one is the one I tried to fix it, the first one is mainly with stats allocated in STR/AGI/LUK, it also involves using a +7 STR food, second one is leaned towards mostly other Stats, some Vit and some Dex

Well, you can start of with almost any split really. I'd definitely get 20 vit at the very least because of enemy stun etc. BHP are quite different from BP because of their additional skills/stat points. Crit builds are more versatile, but because of signum-crucis hybrid/non crit builds tend to be better.

Even though, SC only affects Undead/Demon (But it is castable on bosses), not to mention Crits don't miss.

That's why crit builds are more versatile, although getting sufficient Hit for the places you would/could play at with a crit priest isn't a problem as non-crit anyway. For any aspiring battlepriest, reading irowiki/rocards (if you can read german) is definitely the way to go.

edit: oh you edited screens in.

1. Why aren't you using printscreen or some other program to take screenshots instead of apparently using a 20 year old camera?

2. Good job on the +6 superior valk shoes  /heh (pinoy laugh)

3. 1 dex/1 vit is dumb on any character, and 99 str too much for BP. Do at least shoot for some functionality if you make builds.

2. Good job on the +6 superior valk shoes  /heh (pinoy laugh) -Eh, +9 Valk Shoes is kind of dreaming, I just put it there for the str, substitutable for +9 Superior Shoes? /swt

3. 1 dex/1 vit is dumb on any character, and 99 str too much for BP. Do at least shoot for some functionality if you make builds. -I just did the 99STR one to see a 4k Lexed Crit, even though, I'd rather 8k HP and 1.9k Crits than 6k HP and 2k Crits

Hey ;_;..
I must accept that Super-Gluing valuable coins to the sidewalk and then watching events from a nearby café is not proper demonic activity.
