| Let's find out what combos you consider to be unfair/lame/unbalanced and why. You can choose several answers at once. If you decide to vote, explain your choice below. Here you can discuss which combos require skill and which don't, Which are also the most fair and which are not etc. Also you can suggest some more combos and explain why you think they are also fair/unfair, balanced/unbalanced, lame/pro etc. And we are not talking here about 1 ability in particular, we are talking about combos (using 2 or more abilities at the same time) The ones who choose the last variant-explain why as well.

| Where is the "nothing" slot? Seriosly, I dont think that anything is lame or unfair.... Sure, If you use Heal/Stoneskin/Brambles/Staff you can attack you enemy and you are very strong too. So you could kill easy in my opinion. But I you dont watch you back, an assassins could backstab you and you would be dead so. A mage could launche some fireballs at you too. So I think its not unfair to use it, coz you can still get killed. If you know how! For new players, or players who arent that good, it is very hard to kill a priest with this skills. They would call it lame/unfair coz they get depressed... But I wont say its unfair/lame...

| Problem here is that it's hard to generalize that. It depends heavily on your team and your own class whether these combos are OP or not. Fact is that a decent priest is by far harder to kill than any other class; but the fact that decent teammates will focus the priest and help you in-fight makes up a bit for that. Nearly every combo listed here can be OP in several situations, and I think all of them require skill (it's silly to discuss how much exactly compared to XYZ). I think this thread is more about the everyday's open play on (deathmatch-)ctf rather than about clanwars. In this setting, I think what makes up a really good priest -and what's most difficult to do- is the intelligent and fast use of their variety of abilities, including respeccing in combat. Priests are very versatile, they have powerful tools to use against every other class, and using this versatility fast and wisely can make priests OP. Additionally, due to the nerf to mages (spam and fireorbs) on the TSH/TG/EYE server (which I fully appreciate), priests using stoneskin are by far more resilient to mages, and need to care less about most of them, which makes priests' survability feeling a bit too strong currently imo.

| I agree with Bam to some point. But I think this poll isn't made as it should be. There is a difference on who plays in open game, and then you can say if these spells are OP or not. I can give you a simple example. Priest fighting 4 casual players and 1 good player is easier to survive than only 1-2 good players attacking the Priest. Explanation is simple, a good player will watch friendly fire, and therefore not unleash all the nukes he has, while teammates won't care about him attacking the Priest, probably even teamkilling the good player, blocking him or just make him unable to use his abilities to it's full. When it comes to a CTF normal game, I'm standing on a thought that Priest is almost impossible to kill. For exactly the reason noted above. The only addition is that there are even enemy players that won't care about the Priest too. But since the Priest generally has 100 hp with 50% reduced damage and a heal ready for whatever use, it would even be advisable to not care about the Priest and just shoot the enemies attacking her. Again, Priest triumphs.
Your reasoning is excellent -- it's only your basic assumptions that are wrong.

| Quote (StB) Your priest is op... but only in pub's team play can kill you easly While soling is bad thing like always This is a matter of perspective. Take me as an example: I can usually not kill Hell as a priest in a 1 vs 1. Not with mage, not with warrior, not with archer, sometimes with assassin if Hell wasn't careful. Does this mean that Hell's priesting or priests in common are OP and must be nerfed by any price? No. It means that I don't play well enough to counter him. [EYE]Turalyon can beat Hell's priesting with pretty much every class from what I know, means it is possible. It'd be possible for me to learn it as well, as it would be possible for the most players that have trouble killing him. But this would take some effort, some training, and if you are - like me - too damn lazy to do that, then live with dying by his priest. There are really worse things than dying to somebody in DM a couple of times in publics...
