Priest

The Priest is the Acolyte's magic-focused second class. Where the Monk trains the body to fight evil and the Undead, the Priest does it with magic. Priests gain stronger healing, can bring fallen friends back to life, shield them from harm, bless their weapons, create safe ground the Undead cannot enter and wipe out crowds of Undead.

Most Priests play in a party and give up offense to keep their group alive, so they must watch their surroundings and handle several tasks at once. Job bonuses by job level 50:

At job level 40 an Acolyte applies inside the church of Prontera by talking to Bishop Paul. The steps:

• Pilgrimage: visit the three Ascetics from the Acolyte job quest in order (Mother Marthilda, Father Yosuke, Father Rubalkabara). Acolytes at job level 50 skip this step.
• Exorcism: kill every Zombie in a series of rooms.
• Temptation: walk past Deviruchi, Doppelganger, Dark Lord and Baphomet and refuse all their offers, then run through more rooms of Zombies and Mummies.
• Purity test: answer Sister Cecilia's questions with holy, righteous replies, then return to Bishop Paul.

The Priest has 198 skill points to spend and the largest skill list of the second classes covered here. The main skills (the table is shortened):

Icon	Skill	What it does
	Kyrie Eleison	A barrier on one target that blocks physical attacks for 120 seconds, 5~10 hits, or until its durability (12~30% of the target's Max HP) runs out.
	Magnificat	Doubles SP recovery for you and nearby party members for 30~90 seconds.
	Gloria	+30 LUK for you and nearby party members for 10~30 seconds.
	Impositio Manus	+5~25 ATK and MATK for you and nearby party members for 120 seconds.
	Suffragium	Cuts variable cast time of you and nearby party members by 10/15/20% for 60 seconds.
	Aspersio	Gives a weapon the Holy element for 60~180 seconds; needs Holy Water.
	Lex Aeterna	The next attack on the target deals double damage. Under Magic Strings it loses its long delay, which can double a party's damage on bosses.
	Resurrection	Revives a dead player with 10~80% of Max HP; needs a Blue Gemstone.
	Sanctuary	Heals 100~777 HP to players in a 5x5 area for a while; needs a Blue Gemstone. Level 7 already gives the full healing, higher levels only last longer.
	Safety Wall	A pink pillar on one cell that blocks melee attacks for 5~50 seconds or until it breaks; needs a Blue Gemstone.
	Magnus Exorcismus	A holy cross hits monsters in a 7x7 area every 3 seconds for 100% MATK, or 130% against Demons, Undead and Shadow targets; needs a Blue Gemstone.
	Turn Undead	Tries to destroy an Undead-element monster outright.
	Status Recovery	Cures Frozen, Stone and Stun.
	Redemptio (quest)	Revives all dead party members in a 15x15 area with half their Max HP; needs job level 40.

Other skills: B.S Sacramenti, Increase SP Recovery, Lex Divina, Mace Mastery and Slow Poison. See Status Effects for the ailments these skills cure.

• Heal and buff through the party window (Alt+Z) instead of clicking players, and turn on its lock so you do not open private messages by mistake.
• Keep Magnificat up all the time and cast it before your SP runs low; Increase SP Recovery, SP gear, SP items and sitting also help.
• Pneuma is very important in the Endless Tower (Instances (Memorial Dungeons)) and against strong ranged monsters; nine players fit inside one Pneuma.

After rebirth the Priest becomes a High Priest, adding Assumptio, Basilica, Meditatio and Spiritual Thrift. The line continues as the Arch Bishop (Third Classes) and the Cardinal (Fourth Classes).
