Just want to know the general consensus with the ro2 healing priests or anyone who knows about it
the healing mechanics in ro2 is just trash. there are some good healing skills available (hot, targeted, aoe) but the healing dealt is just rubbish. our tanks are receiving way more dmg than we can heal. I'm not trying to say make the game easier, i'm just saying, make the game possible. A good 1.5 times of our current heal would be greatly appreciated.
on another note, even if priest were to decide to go dps, the available combo is also -.- i mean a 90 second cooldown on the only good source of higher matk? and a 20s cd on our only good source of dps? there has to have some change here. it is basically just spike dmg once in 90 seconds then consistently low dmg for the rest of any boss fight.
i'm not some low level noob who has played this game 5 levels and decide this game is trash. I am a lvl 45 priest who was full heal support, then gave up at lvl 42, bought a skill reset scroll and tried dps. and i know people will agree with me.
To put it simply, resurrection is trash with such high cd, even maxed so i would put my points somewhere else.
the best thing we got are hots and the instant heals combined with aspresio that give you an insane hot . the spammable heal i find it extremely weak,considering that you put your point somewhere into the high end abilities of priest . I would go for angelus to boost party members defense and combine it with Assumptio on hard moments.
heal, even with Gloria seems bad, wasting 4 points to go from 30% to 43% isnt worth it imo,so i just leave it 1 point.
im going for something like this, archangel to boost my hot healing and using it with aspresio for insane hot aoe heals.

To make matters worst, i believe that Priest has the shorter end of the stick when it comes to healing
If u take a look at the Sorcerer skill list, their heal/support lines are honestly better than that of us priests
Just take healing wave for example:
At lv 5, it heals a single target for 34% of MATK
At lv 5, our HEAL may be higher at 43% of MATK BUT...
The CATCH here is that Healing Wave has HALF the casting time (0.5 sec) as compared to the HEAL skill priests have...
So effectively speaking, their effective overall single target heal is WAY better than ours...
Similarly, their AOE heal (Land of recovery) is much easier to use and not to forget that they can choose between activating Earth/Water/Wind ARM for More potent heal/reduce damage on self + SP recovery or 20% faster cast to improve on their healing capabilities so much so that i believe its on par or even better than us priests...
Sure they do lack an instant/immediate AOE heal such as the Priest's Highness Heal (which by the way has a really SMALL AOE and does not help if the party is spaced out) but i think the WAY faster cast time for Healing wave do make up for it
As for Questing... A Sorcerer definitely has a better time than a Priest, even for a Hybrid Priest (which is the build i'm playing, currently lv 46)
However having said that, the only thing that shines for priest is the ability to get out of sticky situation and coping with contingencies, especially with the use of our Ultimate Complete/Instant heal (Coluseo Heal)
Sadly, it has a rather long cool down and even at lv 5 the cool down is still at 3 mins.
If it is reduced to 2 mins as per Sanctuary and Assumptio, it will be much better and may give priest more utility in healing...
Don't get me wrong though, i do like my priest but looking at how the Sorcerer is doing better in ALL AREAS (be it questing or party support or Dpser), it just makes me wonder what exactly is the intended role of a priest if it doesn't EVEN excel in healing...
