Priest Build Guide

When I first started playing Ragnarok online, the job npc adviser offered me the path of being an acolye as it says in my personality test. But I declined and chose to be an archer instead. Legolas Greenleaf was famous back then. After I level my hunter to 99, I became a Ragnarok Magnus Exorcismus priest. The name itself is super cool to hear. Surprisingly, I loved it so I made a full support one after and it became my main Ragnarok character.

Priest, by nature are the supporters and servants of other Ragnarok job class. Remember our job change test that we took before? We must first prioritized other people’s sakes before ours.

There are many builds that you could choose from. You can become full support, a magnus exorcismus or battle. Before the 2-2 classes, there were a number of battle priests in our servers, but now their numbers have faded away.

If you want to have this Ragnarok character too and have no idea what build to do, this is the article for you.

Ragnarok Full support build:

The most important stats in the full support build is int, vit then dex. Int, so you’ll never ran out of mana when supporting your partymates. Vit for high survival rate and you don’t want to die before the characters you support. Dex to lessen skill delay and skill casting time. There are many types of full support types to choose from.

• Player vs Player - If you are a pvp afficionado gamer, you need to prioritize dex. Remember that you have lots of pots to cover up your int & vit. Plus, having a high amount of vit will made you an easy target for biochemist’s acid demonstration. However, having a low amount of vit made you useless if you get stunned. If you watch videos of Ragnarok Champioships, the success of the party depends on your efficiency.

Stats:
Int - mid (70-90)
Vit - mid (70-80)
Dex - high (80-99)

Skills
Pneuma - your best defense against Soul Destroyer and Acid Demonstration
Angelus - Increases defense based on your vit
Status Recovery - recover your stunned, frozen, party mate
Safety Wall - Tired of being killed by monks in a single hit?
Ruwach - against sneaky enemies
Increase Agi, Blessing, Imposition Manus, Suffragium Assumptio - minimize the damage
Decrease Agi - Level 1 is fair enough.
Lex Divina - Silence your opponent and unsilence your party mate

Equipment:
Your equipments should protect you against demi-human monster. For the armor, unfrozen and ghost are the most effective. Hide clip could be handy sometimes too.

• Player vs Monster - In player vs monster, vit is the key. There are vit-based monster skills. Also, you need to have a high int in this. You don’t want to loose mana and be helpless when mobbed by monsters. Dex maybe unnecessary but if you are fighting a boss monster, you might need some. But one of the challenges of this build is levelling. You will always need to have a party mate if you want to level fast or you could heal bomb all the way, you have high int anyway.

Stats:
Int: high (85-99)
Dex: low (30-50)
Vit: high (85-99)

Equipment:
Depends on what map that you are on. Choose equipments that could boost your defense more.

• Siege build - The most fun feature of Ragnarok Online game is the War of Emperium. Priests play an essential role especially when you are defending the castle. Like the pvp build, dex in the key stat in this build then vit and lastly int. You do not need lots of int because combats usually last for 5 minutes or less. Vits must be minimal because of the biochemist’s acid demonstration skill and defense against status ailments. Besides, during sieges, pots matter. Also, take advantage of the Sanctuary skill (level 7 will do) to heal the emperium and also get aspersio. Emp has a holy property. You could also cast aspersio to your guildmates to boost their damage. Players usually wear anti neutral attacks equipments. Get Kyrie Eleison because you couldn’t cast Assumptio on guild castles.

Magnus Exorcismus

Magnus Exorcismus build is one of the most fun character to do in this game. Killing lots of undead monsters in a single cast. You need dex for casting time and int for damage. Int should be prioritize more, because being an exorcist drains your mana, especially if you are wearing mistress sunglasses.

• Fast Cast exorcist - Prioritizing dex more than anything else and having a fairly amount of int. Killing undead and demon monster in less time because of the decrease in casting time. Spamming turn undead is easier and you have enough vit to survive.If you don’t want to get Safety Wall because of blue gems hassle, this build is perfect for you. Just get the Kyrie Eleison or Assumptio instead. Or you could have the Safety Wall and undead monsters would be a no match to you. You also have to get Meditatio to compensate for the lack of int in this build. Gloria to increase your chance in safety wall. Beware, you might cast Magnus Exorcismus twice because of your moderate int but the good thing is, this build is flexible. You can use this in boss hunting parties, pvp and siege.

• Deadly cast exorcist - You could kill monsters in just one cast and you can have a chance to MVP Doppelganger by yourself. This is a good Ragnarok build for Exorcist - Support. You have enough mana to support your party and Magnus Exorcismus to help your partymates in finishing those monsters. Or you could party with other priest and you two would be a deadly duo. Levelling would never be easier especially if you are in geffen guild dungeon. You may think twice before getting Safety Wall, you will be having trouble casting it because of the delay.

• Full Exorcist - A build with just pure dex and int so don’t get an Angelus skill. This is the most effective fast-levelling magnus exorcismus build. You could also use this character during sieges and most effective on emperium defense. You have to have an Orc Hero headgear though or you’ll be useless. This build is also useful in boss hunting but you need to stay inside safety wall or you’ll be dead meat.

• Hybrid exorcist - A balance among vit, dex and int. This build is for Ragnarok players who just want to level alone or party with others. This can also be used in sieging and pvp but have certain limitations because the mana may not be sufficient enough or vit is too high. Depending upon the given situation. This build works best for me when I made my magnus. You can choose Kyrie Eleison over Safety Wall and you could be an effective exorcist still. If you want to have a mistress headgear, you’ll be having trouble with this build because your mana wouldn’t be just enough. You end up slaying a few monsters then sit for regeneration.
