Tips and hints

1. Priest is a typical support class, and that's the way they should be developed. There are loads of spells at a Priest's disposal that can heal friends and debuff enemies. First, you should consider abilities such as Restore, Barbs of Condemnation and Holy Power. This will let you heal team members, debuff enemies and increase your friends' power.
2. Use robes. Even light armors are going to be too heavy - simply avoid fighting and cover behind other characters. Keep your distance and support the team from afar.
3. The most important attribute is Intellect - it increases duration and AoE of many abilities. Elves are a good choice in terms of the race of a Priest.
4. During a single fight, a Priest can use a limited number of spells. The number increases with new levels of power. Check the "Sources of Power" chapter to learn more.
