Blessing of Might
The always-on core skill.

Task Bar Hero Priest Build: Tank, Support, and Gear
Priest is most reliable as the frontline tank/support: keep Blessing of Might active, add healing, and build cooldown reduction, resistance, damage reduction, HP, and Armor before considering lightning DPS.
Start stable, then transition to full support
Blessing of Might supplies the team damage buff. Heal is the steadier early sustain, while Sanctuary needs enough cooldown reduction to maintain smooth coverage.

Do not let Priest overtake Ranger or Sorcerer
Ranged damage line
Priest stays behind
Keep Ranger and Sorcerer in front of Priest's movement line.
- 01
Do not stack Movement Speed without checking formation.
- 02
Pure endgame support should avoid excess Cast Speed.
- 03
Boots are optional.
- 04
If boots are required, consider Mystic Boots only when the movement roll does not break formation.
- 05
Sanctuary's cast animation can help Priest remain behind the damage dealers.
Sanctuary cast animation can act as a natural delay.
Cast Speed can help during progression, but pure endgame support values stable formation more than faster casting.

The damage skill for this alternative route.
Equipment plan
- Use 4-6 lightning-damage lines on the weapon.
- Keep 1-2 additional cooldown-reduction lines.
- Armor still needs Chaos Resistance, Max HP, and Damage Reduction.
- Use Max HP on accessories first; add Movement Speed only after survival is stable.
- Do not overstack Movement Speed in a party.
