 Priests attain extremely powerful healing spells, with very few offensive spells, even those only target the demonic or undead. They work well with those of high alignment and shun all who hold evil tendencies.

-See [[:Category: Mages |Mages]] for an example.
+Priests receive relatively little HP but a high mana, making their gains similar to other "specialist" classes like [[:Category:Sorcerers|Sorcerers]] or [[:Category:Wizards|Wizards]]. This is more noticeable (and relevant) at Lord tier where they can sustain and keep alive large parties with relative ease due to very high mana pools.

 A Priest may be created only through the [[Remort]] command with a lord character with the Cleric, Druid, or Monk class.

 == Priests at Lowmort Tier ==
 Keep in mind that if you learn [[Via Pax]] you cannot initiate combat. So most people put off learning it till hero or lord.
 === Training ===
 A Priest's prime statistic is [[Wisdom]], and should be trained upon creation. This should be followed up by maxing out one's [[Intelligence]], which will allow for higher mana gains as you progress through levels.
 === Practicing ===
-See: [[Paean]]
+See: [[Paean]]. Most of the Priest class definers will require [[Via Pax]], but it is suggested that you do not practice them at Lowmort tier. Other spells and skills are practicable without issues.
 === Worshipping ===
-You can only practice class-defining spells (like pure touch) if you practice [[Via Pax]]. The rest of the spells can be practiced normally.
+Priest trainers will not teach the Holy Disciplines to anyone who is not worshipping Tul-Sith, and Priests must maintain a high alignment for these spells to work their best.
 If you plan to heal mostly, then Tul-Sith or Kra are good choices. Priests planning to tank mostly may look at other choices as well like Quixoltan, Kra and Shizaga for good gains.

 == Preists at Hero Tier ==
 The main decision you need to make is whether to practice [[Via Pax]] or not. If you plan to tank, it's almost certainly better to defer practicing it till lord. If you plan to solo or heal, you can practice it at hero (or earlier). Keep in mind that you need to worship Tul-Sith to practice your priest class-definers.

 '''Soloing:'''
-You can solo using the [[White Light]] spell in certain undead areas. The most popular one is [[:Category:Ruined Lairs|Ruined Lairs]]. Although there are many other options such as the corpse rooms in [[:Category:Necromancer's Tower|Necromancer's Tower]], [[:Category:Shadow Keep|Shadow Keep]], and some of the mobs of [[:Category:Graves Of Reveria|Graves of Reveria]].

 == Priests at Lord Tier ==
 Priests are very powerful and useful at lord. Once they reach level 25 and learn the [[mantra]] skill, they can preach any single target spell to the whole group. They get various powerful healing and utility spells which make them a good addition to almost any lord group. Also they get much more mana than clerics/druids and can thus heal much longer and effectively.
 Keep in mind that healing effectiveness is halved for evil characters.
