Tips and Tactics[ | ]
- A Scout / Priest may have some healing abilities, but it isn't a healing class. Use your abilities to help mitigate damage and support the healer in a group.
- Scout / Priests not only assist healers, but also assist tanks when it comes to their ability to hold aggro. This makes this combination a good choice for players wanting to be a great team player.
- Switching to a Priest / Scout gives the player a stronger healing role, while gaining some damage-dealing abilities to solo with.
Notes[ | ]
- It has been reported by Challenger in this thread on the Joint forums that the S/P Elite Attack Speed buff does NOT stack with "stimulant".
s/p is a good utility combo whose elites are all geared towards helping everyone in the party.
vamp arrow heals 3% + random ( based on heal bonus ) every other tick. ie tick 1 - 3%, tick 2 - random, tick 3 - 3%, etc...
aggro lead gives you & one other person +10% physical and magical dmg for 20 secs.
+20% attack speed buff
+% patk buff when shot hits
mana shot gives +% hp shield to everyone in the party
etc...
I normally use the cibel set + healing cloth that has heal bonuses when I run this build as well as T8 statted Jadefang sword and T8 statted bow.
As long as everyone stays around the s/p, there are continous heals & buffs.
