  • Holy Meditation: +5 Resolve, +Concentration per 6s. Useful to counter enemies that fond of using interrupting attacks. (Situational)

  • Champion's Boon +5 Resolve, +5 Might, +2 Penetration, +3 enemies Engaged to a single ally. You mostly just need the extra penetration, buff on self or on your main strikers to make sure their attacks go through tanky enemies. (Situational)

  • Shields for the Faithful: +20 Deflection, useful to protect allies from heavy weapon-attackers. (Situational)

  • Circle of Protection: +15 All Defenses to AoE friendly targets, but once you unlock VIII powers use Symbol of Eothas instead. (Situational)

✦ Healing Abilities:
  • Restore: restore minor health to AoE friendly targets.
    ✎ As a Aracana Master: her healing scrolls are really good so it's recommended to invest some into it by crafting or from vendors (often seen in magic shop/merchants or merchant ships)
  • Scroll of Minor Healing: restore good amount of health to AoE friendly targets.

  • Vile Thorns: -5 Constituion, -25% Healing received, dealing decent damage and soften enemies allow them to be mauled down quickly. (Situational)

  • Toxic Coils (from Gloves): is a gap-closer that does Corrode AoE damage on arrival, and apply similar status like Vile Thorns. (Situational)

  • Shining Beacon: -10 All Defenses to Foe AOE, deal good Burn damage per 3s. (High Priority)

  • Divine Mark: deal strong single target Burn damage and -25 Deflection to enemy target, leaving them vulnerable to your attacks (Situational)

✦ Offensive Abilities:

  • Magran's Might: continuously smash an enemy with Magran's Hammer until their sin has been cleansed, often in death, dealing strong Crush or Burn damage and reduce their beneficial effects per strike. Useful to disable and focus down backline threat from afar. (High Priority)

  • Spiritual Ally: summon extra-planar, pretty durable and it also has a good defensive/healing ability to use on allies which +5 Consitution, +2 Armor Rating, +10 Health per 3s. Once it done applying buffs, it also can deal average corrode aoe damage. The Summon is also useful to syngerize with certain offensive spells later on: Spark of Souls & Hand of Weal Woe. (Situational)

  • Spark of Souls: grants allies an offensive aura that zap nearby enemies with Electricity, the more allies the better the damage potential, useful when your party is surrounded. (Situational)
    Note that: only active summon is effectively considered as ally will have the Aura, and passive summons those who isn't controllable won't get Spark of Souls. Spiritual Ally fits the requirement, giving you more bodies to zap enemies out of existence.

  • Hand of Weal and Woe: extremely high dps and amazing heal per tick, it's recommended to place the beam on flanking friendly target as enemies often die to fast for the beam to finish it duration and reach it max potential. Useful against narrowed chokepoint. (Situational)
    Spiritual Ally once again can cover the job nicely without putting your friends in a bad spot, simply place him behind enemy line and hook him the beam, then you can freely move him around to get the best out of the beam and watch enemies melt as your front-liners have their health restored just as quick.

Do you have an alternative for Aloth's armor? He died in POE 1 in my save, so it's unobtainable for me.

What is meant by "powerplay"?
Lost Sinner  [author] 25 Jul, 2018 @ 7:38am 
It's a Tier IV passive in the Priest tree.

was Heart of the Storm removed? I can't seem to find the skill upon her 17th level
Vaeyaden 27 Jun, 2018 @ 2:39pm 
thanks for the quick response. I look forward to trying out more of your pillars builds.
Lost Sinner  [author] 27 Jun, 2018 @ 3:07am 
you can pick Priest of Eothas, it is the closest to Priest of Gaun. Most of the abilities are identicial except for Blessed Harvest. Attributes: 10 MIG / 8 CON / 18 DEX / 15 PER / 19 INT / 8 RES
(Wood Elf and Old Vaila are used, you can use any races/origins you like but keep the attributes close to this)

p/s: i do have plans for other priest guides in the future.
Vaeyaden 26 Jun, 2018 @ 5:36pm 
Will I be able to use this for my main? if yes what starting stats do you recommend. If it won't work with as main character do you have any new priest builds coming anytime soon?
Also thanks for putting your time into making these builds enjoyed quite a few of them in divinity 2, great work.
Lost Sinner  [author] 15 Jun, 2018 @ 5:06pm 
Most of my companion builds are built around their base stats so they are good to go most of the times. If you want, ask me specifically or tweaks it on your own, most of the times the ranged one can dump RES and lower CON and the melee ones can have their CON/RES lowered to default, the remaining points go into the offense stats instead.

Hey Lost Sinner, for your various companion guides, could you add in ideal stat builds? A lot of people use the Unity engine mod to change our characters stats, since the standard stat assignment is usually pretty awful.
