(Snake Cultist)

Priest / Rogue is an aggressive Dark magic caster, complementing other spellcasters in their party while also providing tremendous damage over time (DoT). What's interesting about this combination is that, for the most part, their damage comes from their elite skills. In PvP they also possess the extremely powerful skill Purge, and with one of their skills reducing healing received it makes them quite a dangerous force. While it may appear Priest / Rogue is only good at the offensive, once Toxic Feedback is learned, healing becomes viable option using damaging abilities to facilitate instant-healing.

Intelligence and Wisdom, and to a lesser extent Stamina, are important for this combination. Again, while most of the damage comes from elite skills, training up Nimble Hands and investing in Rising Tide, Urgent Heal, and Heal (the class-specific skill) will greatly expand one's tool kit.

Main Ways of Build[ | ]

The build is fairly straightforward. Rising Tide can be used in certain situations, such as being low on energy, though generally at higher levels Infectious Wounds takes precedence due to its higher damage. Snake Curse and Lure of the Snake Woman should be up on your enemy as often as possible, especially the former due to how important it is. Heal becoming instant through Toxic Feedback can let the player provide a surprising amount of support, as long as they have the mana to do so.
