Solo Priest PVP Guide (While Leveling) | Priest Guide, Gameplay and Commentary | Dungeonborne

Hey guys,
I was trying pretty hard to make a solo priest work in Dungeonborne. I wanted to level this class up for whenever I played duos/trios, and was honestly having a lot of fun trying to do this! The main idea for the build that worked the best for me is to get the intelligence perk to have two charges of divine protection, get the first faith perk that removes debuffs when divine protection is cast, and then focus on dexterity and/or stamina. Dexterity doesn't give priest any perks, but this class is very slow, and being able to get some move speed helps. Stamina gives a perk, but it's not the best for the class, BUT the max health really does help when both divine protections are down to take a few more hits. All in all, I think priest "can" be a solid option, but it will take a lot of practice in learning to time the divine protections to appropriately block damage while figuring out how to build the damage up for the class at the same time. If hope you all enjoy this Priest, Dungeonborne, video! And if you did, please give the video a like, a comment or subscribe to the channel for more content :)

The body block instead of panic and run away was actually very well played

[@Deltsong]

Thanks! Definitely picked that up from playing goblin caves (above Cave Troll) in Dark and Darker haha

[@sirchillalot6602]

excited to see someone rock the class everyone deemed unplayable solo

[@Deltsong]

Thanks! :)

[@JCFoxpox]

This is wonderful! Thank you! I’m new to this game and style but have been wanting to make a priest, thank you!!!

[@Deltsong]

Good luck! Priest is definitely more difficult in solo than other classes… But it “can” work once you start to get it down :)

[@karma_cardinal]

you're amazing good sir. much respect to you

[@Deltsong]

Thank you!

[@kevinroundsjr3102]

Excellent guide dude, you've definitely proven priests a viable class in pvp.

[@Deltsong]

Thanks man! It’s definitely hard to get used to though

[@GrayFoxIRL]

Goated channel. Earned my sub!

[@Deltsong]

Thank ya, sir!

[@crochetknight6943]

Loved the vid. Your build’s nearly identical to what I wanted to try, good to know it’s viable.

[@Deltsong]

Thanks! Good luck if you ever try it out.🙌🏼

[@ninjahaz0180]

Keep it up my guy, great video. Think that dude at the end might’ve been a fighter though cuz if the aura around him at the end. Think it was battle cry

[@Deltsong]

Yeah, you’re right. The dual swords just threw me off haha

[@arbelle4429]

nice plays! the looting is fine btw... ill have to give priest another try !

[@Deltsong]

Thanks! And good luck :)

[@Paradox_Wolf]

FYI the "Rogue" that kills you at the end is actually a Fighter. Fighters can use Dual Daggers as well. You can tell he's a Fighter because of his shout followed by seeing him glowing red. This is the Damage/Lifesteal/Damage Reduction buff Q ability that Fighter has access to.

[@Deltsong]

Yepp! I realized after I uploaded sadly haha

[@I_am_nobody999]

Really good video, I enjoyed the kills, they were satisfying to watch. If I could make one critique though it would be that we don't need to watch you loot for 15 seconds.

[@Deltsong]

Thanks! And fair enough, I’ve had other videos on the past where people wanted it though… So it’s hard to pick what to do, and I go back and forth 😬

[@ninjahaz0180]

@@Deltsongit definitely varies by person unfortunately, cuz I love to see what loot you got from them. The little gremlin inside my head says so

[@I_am_nobody999]

@@Deltsong I enjoy seeing what loot people drop but on some of these clips you just sat in silence while you played inventory tetris. It comes across as poorly edited. You could always just show us what they had and then move on. If we're so interested then we can just pause the video.

[@Deltsong]

@@I_am_nobody999 fair fair :) I’ll edit those parts out

[@ImFeveredYT]

Thank you for the video!

[@Deltsong]

Of course!

[@camdamagee]

Throw mana on hit on a couple of your heirlooms. Makes firestaff basically give you infinite mana sustain

[@Deltsong]

That could be nice group content. I don’t really want to lose any damage in solos though cause there’s already not really enough….

[@psyencefiction9743]

First class I levelled to 20 was priest. While it was a struggle, I did find some hilarious success with double lightning staff. Shield yourself, use aoe heal/dmg on cd, and drop all charges on you and whoever happens to be smacking you. Splat. I mean, you might die too, but it does well to make sure you don't go alone. lol

[@Deltsong]

Sounds fun for sure 😂 I’ve seen and tried a few different double staff builds and I always end up missing my orb! It’s less DPS but being able to have a short root or blocks against sword masters feels too good to pass up

[@indysrebel5181]

I spectated a priest last night 1v2 a DK and swordmaster. I was impressed lol

[@Deltsong]

I would be too, props to that guy!

[@zelraths]

i actually dont think that was a rougie at the end, but rather a mithril fighter using 2 daggers lol

[@Deltsong]

It was - I realized as I was watching through after making the video. But same same (kind of) haha

[@KnownAsQYT]

6:01 same

[@Deltsong]

I hate those bugs so much lol

[@PeatDaGreat]

Noice

[@Deltsong]

Thanks 🙂

[@呀咧呀咧]

why don't you pick up their lecklace every time? 1 slot for 15 green thing

[@Deltsong]

I just didn’t want the ore, mostly. I upgraded the heirlooms that I wanted, and mostly just need blues/purples now :) I could’ve picked them up to sell them for ≈500 gold in the market, but I just don’t always grab everything.

[@呀咧呀咧]

@@Deltsong get it

[@TheMathtag]

what in the heck is a swordmaster doing without an unholy amount of swords in his inventory?

[@Deltsong]

May have used them already? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@ogaruada]

which status u put in ur legendary sword on heirloom?

[@Deltsong]

Sorry, I would’ve responded sooner, but I had to look because I don’t honestly use or mess with my heirlooms often 😅 I actually am just using 2.3% damage and 3.6% max life. Which are both really cheap options (green ore). I don’t think life on hit would be good with this because it doesn’t swing as fast as dual swords, but if you wanted to splurge max life stacks on kill and max damage stacks on kill would be better. But those both cost purple ore, which at that point it’s probably better to just sell those items and buy a purple sword, imo. You can get higher damage, dex and crit chance then (although you’re not choosing your substats). I’m also not running enchantments on it currently, but if you wanted to do that I’d probably just get Faery or Tiny Torment for some extra damage (assuming you’re running solos). Storm rage has nice CC for teams playing in teams though :)

[@呀咧呀咧]

isn't that potions do not stack? you kept drinking before the previous one ends

[@Deltsong]

Yeah, sometimes it’s just habit. Other times it’s to make sure that they don’t end mid-fight though

[@edanaa]

why legend equipment doesnt valueable?

[@Deltsong]

I’m sorry, I don’t understand the question… If you’re asking why I didn’t keep the sword fragment it’s because I already have the divine sword heirloom though 🙂

[@edanaa]

@@Deltsong the legendary sword, is it worth to sell or 0 gold?

[@Deltsong]

@@edanaa ohhh, no because it’s the heirloom. It’s either 0 gold or (I think) one purple ore at the reforge.

[@BeccaTKawaii]

This isn't really an accurate representation of what's going to actually happen. Sure, you can do this in casual. It looks like you're having high end fights with the constant healing, etc... But once you take a priest into Classic, you're dead, it's over. The 675 hp isn't viable as that is less than the damage of one combo from most classes. Plus, a perfect parry from a strength stacking melee class usually does about 400 or more aha.

[@Deltsong]

(While leveling) You “shouldn’t” be playing priest solo in general. And I’ve killed DKs and fighters in classic, but the minute you run into basically anyone else you don’t really have a chance.

[@sayouris2231]

I see the vidéo of the number one priest ATM in hight end solo classic, and he just slam everyone in full purple, so yeah its possible :)

[@TechTyler88]

cut that boring looting next time please

[@Deltsong]

Alright, we’ll see. Depends on who we kill

[@grimgarlover8309]

That last dude wasnt a rogue - it was warrior with daggers xDDDD

[@Deltsong]

Yepp! I realized after I posted 😬
