Below is an overview of TERA Priest, a supporter class from TERA Online. If you would like to know more information about this class, kindly visit TERA Priest Online strategy book.

TERA (The Exiled Realm of Arborea) will launch on May 1st, 2012. There’s a lot of buzz around the game, as it promises to be the next evolution in the MMO field. There are no factions, for example, and combat is set to be far more interactive. There are eight races and seven classes to choose from. This Tera Priest guide gives a Tera basic overview of what to expect from the class.

As with most MMOs, the Priest is a support class, designed to aid fellow group or raid members with healing and resurrection. What makes the class even better than usual, though, is the range of roles it can take up, solo or group-wise. In TERA, the Priest has more offensive capabilities, which gives them one of the widest spell sets in the game. Offensively, they can blast, burn, sear, implode, and shock their foes. After level 20, they gain glyphs to enhance their core abilities, both for healing and smiting foes. It looks like being a Priest in TERA will let you solo more effectively as well as be the linchpin of groups.

There is some argument already on the forums about the differences between TERA Priest and other tera classes. Forming a TERA Priest duo seems to be a good idea as their ranged abilities work well together. When farming elites, for example, the Archer can pull aggro from a Priest who has gotten a heal or even damage aggro. The Priest can then buff or heal the Archer as needed. As we move through the open beta phase to launch, we’ll start to get a more detailed Tera Priest guide and a closer look at the TERA Priest dynamics.

Despite being restricted to light armor (robes) and with only staves to wield as weapons, don’t underestimate the Priest. They will be the main reason why any raid or group will be successful in the more challenging encounters. As we approach the launch date, the official Tera Priest guide posted on the Enmasse site will give even more information on updated stats and spells.
