Warrior Priest

Warrior Priests are best known as the Melee Healing class of Order. Warrior Priests special mechanic is Righteous Fury. When you use a healing spell you will consume Righteous Fury and when you use a damaging ability you will generate Righteous Fury. Warrior Priests can also generate Righteous Fury with an ability that uses AP and turns it into Righteous Fury. Or by equipping a Tome in their offhand.

When out of combat your Righteous Fury will regenerate just like your Health.

**If you are reading this in 2017 and playing the WAR Emulator take what you read here with a grain of salt. The guides were written for WAR when it first came out and most of the class guides were submitted to me - they will still contain useful information but not all of the information will be accurate**

 

Attributes and How They Effect You

Strength: Strength increases your melee damage, best stat for you if you plan on doing damage. Strength also increases the amount of healing your "Damaging-Heals" heal you for.

Toughness: Decreases the damage taken, The amount it decreases it by is minimum, but still a halfway decent stat.

Wounds: Increases your total health, VERY important stat.

Initiative: Increases your chance to avoid attacks, helps detect stealthed enemies and decreases your chance to be crit. A good stat to have, not the best to focus on.

Weapon Skill: Increases your chance to parry attacks and penetrate your opponents armor. Useful if you want to deal damage

Ballistic Skill: Useless for you

Intelligence: Useless for you

Willpower: Willpower increases healing done and increases your chance to disrupt your enemies spells. It also gives you a chance to resist your enemies spells. Willpower increases the healing done by your healing spells, which are group heals and HoTs.

In summary the most important stats for you depend on what you want to do. If you want to heal stack Willpower and Wounds. If you want to DPS stack Strength and Wounds.

 

Resists

As far as resists go you have Elemental, Corporeal and Spiritual. Stack your resists in the order I give you;

Spiritual: It will help protect you against Sorcerer's and Magus's

Corporeal: This will help protect you against Sorcerer's and Magus's as well.

Elemental: This will help protect you against Squig Herder's AoE attacks and other misc abilities.

 

Playing a Warrior Priest

Warrior Priests are one of the easiest classes to solo with and very newb friendly in RvR. Since they have abilities that deal damage and heal themselves (all in one) you will find it very easy to solo as a Warrior Priest. Of course since your damaging abilities will also heal you, they don't do amazing damage... But it's enough to get by.

If you have ever played WoW, consider a Warrior Priest the Ret Paladin of WAR. When leveling a Warrior Priest you probably find it boring up until level 6 when you get your Divine Strike ability which is the first ability that will deal damage, heal you and generate Righteous Fury. Once you get this ability you almost become a non stop killing machine.

As far as Masteries go, some Wp's would choose Wrath over Grace for leveling. But I personally prefer Grace since it improves your Divine Strike ability a decent amount. The first ability I stop for in this tree is Fanaticism, right after I grab Absence Of Faith and Guilty Soul. After I have these abilities I finish off the Grace tree and grab the rank 4 moral ability. I dumb the rest into Salvation and grab Divine Light.
