Theory Crafting - The Priest? Build

Forewords:
Been playing my priest for a while, mostly farming Flare Volg, sometimes silver roar. TBH, I personally think that this class is so underrated. It does have its use in team but in most cases it only works if you have a class team (Tank, DPS, Breaker, Support). If you dont have a tank who can keep aggro then you are most like the first target to the boss. whatever spell you cast will generate a huge amount of aggro and if you were attacked, your support skill will end right away, which makes you pretty useless at that point. However, if you do have a tank to hold aggro, you buffing can really help the team.
I dont know what you think a priest should be but the way I built my Priest is probably different than what you thought.

Warning, this build is not for new players!

Stats:
Full 100% Luck
Personal stat: Luck

Skills:
10 Bless - 60+ healing without any INT, it is pretty good. If you had only 1 VIT, it can heal you back 50% of your health.
10 Gloria - Bread & Butter, it also provides synergy with shield
5 - Life Recovery - Prerequisite for Brave Aura
10 - Brave Aura - I think it is mandatory for any support type
5 - Mana recharge - decent for mana regeneration
5 - Magic Barrier - just spend 5 points here since we have 3 other auras already
1 - Recharge
46 points spent, you can spend the rest SP to other places you like.

Gears:
Any staff you like - Golem xtal
Shell Shield
Plate Armor -
Brutal Dragon Cape
Sofys Talisman - Eerie
All gears need to be refined heavily.

So, what the heck is this build:
I can tank Flare Volg with this build and I am not kidding. I can hold aggro by casting Brave Aura. Even though it ends rightaway but I can probably hold aggro until the boss dies. After that, I just run around and cast spell to heal myself. I can survive because the boss hits me only 50 or so while I have ~500 hp. This build can provide much fun while having luck to boost your drop rate.
Most of the time, if your team has a tank, you can just cast your spells and sit there and watch.

What is the purpose of the build:
It is a support build but instead of going full INT, I wanted a build that can do more than just support. As you can see, I did not take mini heal because it is based on INT and right now at this stage, I just dont think it is necessary. Think about it this way, since we can drink potion to recover hp, spending points on min-heal isnt really necessary. I would rather spending more skill points on Aura which can provide more benefits to the team.

 

So how had it been holding up on terms of does your party comment well of you and like having you or do they say they rather have extra dps?

Also do you notice enough extra drops to make a luck character worth building or its a small percentage and not worth it.

 

First off, the build makes me much more useful than a glass cannon type healer. I can actually tank and do something more productive to the team than just sending out buffs. So far, I havent seen anyone complained about it. And I dont think the fights are slower. When we have 2 water mages and 1 breaker, we can finish Flare Volg very faster. It is because I can somewhat replace the role of tank. Think about it this way, is there any difference between a full VIT tank and full LUCK priest in terms of our overall damage output? Probably, full VIT tank deals nearly 0 damage while full LUCK priest can buff the team dealing more damage.
With close to 150 LUCK, I do notice an increase in drops. Usually without luck, I could get 0 drop, with luck I always get at least 1 drop, sometimes 3-4.
Says 1 more drop out of 3, is it worth it? 33% increased drop rate.
And I have answered your question again in the another post about if luck character is worth it. Let me know what you think.

 

@Azloki
Yea those extra few drops add up. Plus it sounds like with this build you are not slowing down the killing and in fact helping boost the damage while filing the role of a tank. So that's an extra plus do to I hate when people leech off of me so I'd hate to do it to others.

I think i might just have to try this build out my self.

Again great job coming up with a build out side of the box of the ones every one else trends to make.
