Warrior Priest

Archetype: Healer

Special Mechanic: Righteous Fury

Warrior Priests are the Healing class for the Empire. Close-combat healers, Warrior Priests use Righteous Fury to power their support and healing magic. Righteous Fury builds up via dedicated prayers and melee combat, and as a result Warrior Priests have to be actively involved on the front lines to be able to support their groups.

Specialty
Most of the melee damage and "buffing" abilities the Warrior Priest uses are powered by the use of Action Points. How many Action Points any given ability uses can typically be seen by hovering the mouse over the ability and reading the description. Each ability has a different effect but most of them serve to also increase the Warrior Priest's pool of Righteous Fury.

Righteous Fury is used to power the healing and blessing abilities of the Warrior Priest. As blessings are chanted and words of healing are spoken, the Warrior Priest's pool of Righteous Fury (RF) is depleted. While the pool does slowly replenish itself over time out of combat, the most effective way to refill the pool is by using action abilities which directly add points to it. (Read the descriptions of all abilities to learn how much RF is added by each one.)

In addition to the above mechanics, the Warrior Priest is also capable of resurrecting allies and curing many ailments. Warrior Priests are equipped with an AOE debuff and AOE detaunt to lower enemies damage to you, if specced accordingly.

Path of Salvation
The Path of Salvation focuses on divine magic: primarily healing abilities. A player who specializes in Salvation will become a much more powerful healer, although he will still need to be on the front lines like a melee combatant.

Path of Grace
The Path of Grace is centered around melee attacks which inspire and bolster the Warrior Priest and his allies. A Master of Grace will be able to simultaneously wreak havoc upon his enemies with his warhammer and improve himself and his companions, making him an especially valuable comrade when standing side-by-side with other allies.

Path of Wrath
The Path of Wrath is focused on crippling melee attacks which weaken, hinder, and harass the player's opponents. Someone who specializes in Wrath will certainly be the most offensively-focused type of Warrior Priest, as he will be both damaging his enemies and weakening them with each swing of his warhammer.
