Priest: Max?

[LeeHammmm]

Okay. So. I've decided to start playing preist. I'm okay with playing robed class (wizard is my main), even though they are pretty squishy. But, I'm not okay with playing a wand class. I like that they have range, but their DPS is just so bad. I know that they get better once their maxed and they have good gear, but leading up to that, it's just not that fun. But, I'm giving it a try. I have a T8 Staff and T8 Robe and I think some Para rings. Once I get my priest to level 20 and start farming to get him some pots, what do I focus on maxing. Please leave a list of what to maxl; i.e.
This is the very basic what to max guide
1) Def 2) Dex 3) Atk or Spd 4) Spd or Atk 5)Vit or Wis 6) Wis or Vit 7) Mana 8) Life

So please do that for priest. My friend prefers to start with Spd and Dex when maxing his priest. That makes sense since the priest is one of the faster classes at level 20 (spd) so he can max that with 9 pots, and dex is one of the slower dex speed. Anyway, what do you guys think I should do?

Speed and dexterity are always good to work on early. Once you've maxed your dexterity, try working on your wisdom. All this speed, dexterity, and wisdom will help you run the Abyss of Demons to finish off the last 3 stats. Life/Mana optional.

If you're playing priest. You're not playing priest for the sweet drops or bad@ss moves.

You're playing it because you want to help people out in the game. Priests are almost invaluable when doing dungeons or events as their healing can not only keep people up and fighting but can very well save people from death. That isn't to say priest can't kick behind once they're maxed and have good gear, but they typically can't do as much as other classes.

If you play Priest prepare to place close attention to your fellow players and how much damage they take. If you see an archer take 300 damage. They probably need health bad.

If you're looking for something that doesn't have the 'babysitting' ♥♥♥♥ then you might wanna play Sorcerer, this is a class who can sweet godlands with an iron fist, almost always promising SB bags from a shot or two of his ability when targeting a big group of gods. He's obviously slightly better off then the Priest such as having more dex then the priest would.


Anyways, like Firebat said, SPD and DEX are something you're gonna wanna try doing first. Personally I don't focus on maxing a single stat, I just grab whatever potions I find, shove them into my chests and have my other character drink it later until they're 4/8.
But sometimes I get ahead of myself and get to eager and kill the character before they even get #/8.
