Darkness Falls: The Crusade: Priests

The final class for the Good realm, Priests have had some slight changes.  I had a good friend in high school who played a priest (Dominic) but as it has been so long he no longer has logs of spells and some details.  So with that I had to make spell lists based on memory.  A single offensive spell casting list, the traditional group shields, level 4 self shields , light/bless/holywarrior etc.  If I recall resurrections Healing, resurrection and cures/remove curses were in seperate lists, 2 or 3.  This is the same for all the healing classes.   In DFC they could wear plate armor and cast through it with divine spells.  I am not entirely sure of how viable that is in comparison to the healer necros and orcs.  I've lowered their "Favored armor" down to leather.  I'll get into more detail about how armor changes will work in another post as it will be quite detailed.  From a physical combat standpoint, and there is a likelyhood that these might be removed, they will also have pummel and parry.  I included parry because they are essentially a defensive class, and pummel because of the crushing weapons nature of the class.  But as this may be too much, either or both may be removed.

  1. Oh priests! I do remember them all sitting across the ravine from their area spamming heal on anyone who came into the area because of the XP for healing.

    I also remember a few priests having rogue imp's kill a player over and over and the priest Resurrecting them over and over because of the massive XP you got for Resurrecting a player.

    Could essentially level to max level extremely fast by doing that; the logs use to have a world wide message when someone died and was Resurrected, quite funny to see them die and ress'd 100x in a row with macros.

    Continued success in developing the game.

    Their damage spell was named "Pain".

    If i can remember any info ill be sure to display it here.

    Thanks for your hard work!

  2. First of all, thanks for all your work and good luck with the project.

    Second, Priests were really designed to be a warrior priest class more so than a classic healer, that was one of the great things about the class.
    Give them at least chain-mail and sufficient offensive power or it won't be anything like before.

    PS I should know.. I was Horrorman, most priests and a few others from back in the day will remember me.
