Priest Basics, Skill/Dungeon/PvP Guide

-Priest Basic Skill, Dungeon, and PvP Guide-

First of all: This is a simple guide about PvPing and Dungeon-ing(?) with a priest before job change.
Now, priests are probably the worst class to PvP with, due to their incredibly slow speed.
However, they do a fairly good job staging and are a good addition to parties for their buffs and heals.

Skills available before job change:

Backstep- Jumps a little bit backwards.
SP: 30
Command: (Down) + C

Quick Rebound- Allows you to get back up off the ground quicker than usual.
SP: 10
Command: C (When downed)

Slow heal- Slowly regenerates a set amount of HP for one of your party members or yourself.
SP: 20
Command: -> + Space

Command: -> -> Space*

Command: X after dash attack.

Giant Weapon Launcher- Launches enemies up into the air with your weapon, also damage enemies behind you.
SP: 20
Command: Z

Phoenix Hammer- Jumps then thrusts weapon into ground to creat shockwave that hits nearby enemies.
SP: 25
Command: (Up) + (Down) + Z*

Furious Grab- Summons a demon hand to hit monsters in front of you a few times (~2-3), can trap enemies sometimes.
SP: 25
Command: (Down) + -> + Z*

Painful Rapture- Uses some HP for MP.
SP: 20
Command: (Down) + -> + C*

* = Unsure of command because of CBT bug. Will update after it is fixed.

Dungeon-ing(?):

Basics: What you want to do is buff anyone you want to, XXXXXXXX, slow heal, XXXXX until boss,
then XXXXX backstep, buff, slow heal, XXXXX.... etc.etc.etc.
Between the XXXXX you can use skills like weapon launcher/furious grab/etc.
Use phoenix hammer when there's a huge mob, just to knock them down before they do some bad damage.
When surrounded you can use phoenix hammer, or weapon launcher...bla bla bla... Just dodge hits and you'll do fine.

Since I'm not much of a dungeon-er, I'll give you my recommendations for a skill build:
Backstep - 1
Slow heal - Max
Strike - Max
Wisdom Blessing - Preference
Cure - 1
Lucky Straight Punch - Preference <--- Mob control
Smasher - Max <--- Main damage dealer to boss.
Second Uppercut - Preference
Giant Weapon Launcher - Preference, 1/5/Max
Phoenix Hammer - Preference, 1 or Max
Furious Grab - Max <--- Secondary damage dealer to boss + mobs.
Painful Rapture - 1 if needed

Weapon recommendation: Any, your preference. Basically one that does most damage, because
you don't really need speed in dungeons, just use the one that does the most damage.
*Can't really give you an accurate skill build because I have no skill simulator/calculator.
And the kDnF one contains malicious programs...or so says Chrome.

PvPing:

Basics: Don't try to approach any character head-on, you will get hit first, and then get comboed and KOed.
Use giant weapon launcher as your primary super armor skill, and second uppercut as your secondary.
Priest is incredibly slow, and hard to maneuver. Half the times you PvP, you'll get owned by speed.
(I know it sounds pretty bad lol)...

A basic skill build:
Backstep - 1
Quick rebound - 1
Strike - 0 or Max
Wisdom Blessing - Preference
Lucky Straight Punch - Preference
Smasher - Max
Second Uppercut - 1 or Max
Giant Weapon Launcher - 5 (W/ cancel) or Max
Phoenix Hammer - 1 or 0
Furious Grab - 1 or Max

Weapon recommendation: Scythe for speed.
* Can't give an accurate skill build bla bla...

More PvP tips:
Starting out the match, you'll want to use all your buffs, and prepare to use Giant Weapon Launcher if the opponent
comes dangerously close. If you're fighting a gunner then never stay directly in front of them, try to get close and
use GWL and start a combo as soon as you can. Slayers are a little easier, because you can use GWL when they try to get close,
just be careful when staying in front of them because they have many skills with long linear range. (Don't have much experience
against mages/fighters yet)
You'll want to get the cancels for most of the skills you use most,
like GWL and Smasher allowing for faster skill initiation.
Basic combo- XXX Giant Weapon Launcher, Smasher,Furious Grab

Phoenix is great when you bait slayers to get close due to its wide range,and being able to grab them.
Also,back-step cancel is a godsend. Very helpful for maneuvering and setting up combos.
