Paladins can do this too, but only for a single character, whereas the priestly Revival spell is an area effect spell which can revive multiple characters. Plus, up around level 6, you have the Revival spell which revives unconscious characters. And the level 1 Withdraw spell slaps a character in an untouchable/untargetable bubble for 30-ish seconds, during which the character is regenerating on its own. Consecrated Ground (the spell effect that's on the Shod in Faith boots) is better than any Restore Endurance spell, IMO, in large part because it's at level 2. Also, priests have some excellent support spells that come in handy on a regular basis.Īnd for what it's worth, two of the priest's best healing spells aren't Restore Endurance spells at all. But don't discount having a priest (or a druid) around to be a secondary healer, particularly in tough fights where your pally's Lay on Hands may have been used up, or your pally is down. I do agree that paladin's are probably more useful as combat healers due to Lay on Hands/Greater Lay on hands. Priests are not nearly as critical as they may have seemed in the old BG/IWD games, but that doesn't mean that their spells aren't useful. He can be useful as a 3rd or 4th tank, but he'll still be softer than a legit tank.Ģ. Also, I suggest not playing Durance too aggressively where melee is concerned. And if you don't buff up his accuracy with these talents, that accuracy will be so much lower that it will hinder his ability to be a capable off-tank. Also, do your best to stick to swords and arquebuses, because Durance will see a MAJOR drop off in accuracy if you don't stick to his deity's weapons. And consider picking the Knight weapon focus for an additional +6 accuracy bonus for swords. Definitely take the class talent that gives a +10 bonus to accuracy to his deity's weapons (sword and arquebus). Durance can indeed be used as an off-tank, if built and equipped properly.
