MapleStory Priest Guide v1.10 (Updated)

Being a Priest is so much fun and so much easy to train. If you love leeching, join a party of attackers. If you love soloing, just heal undead monsters all the way. Or, if you like the best of both worlds, go ahead and have lots of fun.


The Priest
Advantages: The Priest is a party favourite, has lots of supportive skills to aid him/herself as well as the party and shines the most when he/she advances to a Bishop.

Disadvantages: The Priest is described as a leecher by many.


Skills of the Priest

Elemental Resistance

This passive skill when maxed enables additional magic defence of up to 50% against elemental

attacks be they fire, poison, ice, lightning or dark magic.

Should this skill be maxed? Definitely yes.

Dispel

This supportive skill when maxed has a 100% success rate of dispelling status effects such as Curse, Seal, Poison, Weaken, Weapon Defence Up and Magic Defence Up casted by monsters or bosses.

However, this skill has its limitations. It is unable to dispel Super Weapon Defence Up, Super Magic Defence Up, Zombify, Seduce, Confusion, Weapon Attack Reflection and Magic Attack Reflection.

Should this skill be maxed? Definitely yes.

Mystic Door

This supportive skill opens a "door" where you and your party members can use it to return to the nearest town and come back to your current place again and again until the skill wears off.

Note: This skill cannot be used at boss maps, event maps and mini dungeons.

Should this skill be maxed? Not necessarily so.

Holy Symbol

This is the most favourite skill of the Priest both for him/herself and his/her party. When maxed, the party (with a minimum of 2 members) gains an additional 50% experience. If this skill is used for the Priest alone, he/she gains an additional 10% experience.

Note: This skill does not apply to quest experience rewards.

Should this skill be maxed? Definitely yes.

Shining Ray

This offensive skill enables the Priest to finally be able to attack several monsters (up to a maximum of 6) be they undead or non-undead as compared to Heal. It does an additional 50% damage on holy weak monsters but does relatively low damage on normal monsters.

Should this skill be maxed? Yes.

Summon Dragon

This offensive skill summons a small dragon that attacks any random monster once every few seconds. This dragon does neutral damage instead of holy damage. Each cast will require 1 summoning rock.

Note: This skill should be capped at level 15 to meet the requirement for Bahamut when the Priest has advanced on to a Bishop.

Should this skill be maxed? Definitely no.

Doom

This supportive/offensive skill when maxed has a 90% chance of turning 6 monsters into blue snails for a limited amount of time. The damage dealt by these snails is 10% of their original damage.

Each cast will use up a magic rock.

Should this skill be maxed? Definitely no.

(Skill build is now diversified, thanks to readers' comments and feedback.)
