The Priest specializes in restorative and defensive spells
Dragon Quest VII

Priest is a vocation in the Dragon Quest series.

Priests specialise in healing and fortifying spells rather than attack magic, and are some of the only characters who can learn to revive characters while in the field. Priests cannot equip heavy armour, but they can use weapons much like a Hero or a Warrior can. Priests do have initially more strength, agility and resilience than Mages, but on the whole, their physical combat potential is unimpressive at best.

Usefulness[]

One of the first classes that any player should choose for any party member is the Priest class. All of the spells that the Priest learns are useful throughout the game. The only downside to this class is that the class takes a long time to master.

Dragon Quest IX[]

DQIX - Priest

The Priest vocation is available at the start of the game and has the unique skillset "Faith". Priests can also use skill points to learn Spear, Wand, Staff, and Shield skills. Their coup de grâce is "Choir of Angels", which heals all party members and removes negative status effects.

Dragon Quest X[]

The Priest is one of the six starting vocations available in version 1.0 of Dragon Quest X. They can use Wands, Spears, Staves, Fisticuffs and Shields, each one with their own individual skill trees, with their exclusive skill tree being once again Faith (しんこう心 Shinkō kokoro). Their coup de grâce is Saint's Song (聖者の詩 Seija no uta). With their high Magical Mending stats, and access to many healing spells, Priests are a support vocation who can heal and revive their allies, and can use defensive buffs like Kabuff and Dedazzle.

Trivia[]

  • In IX, it is possible to obtain equipment worn by members of the Priest class from Dragon Quest III, which can only be equipped by Priests. They are a "Mitre" (head), "Surplice" (torso), "Minister's mittens" (arms), "Trinity tights" (legs), "Blessed boots" (feet). Equipping the Priest with a "Orichalcudgel" (staff) completes the ensemble.
