*Disclaimer* This may change after more gameplay. This is just my opinion and advice I would give if asked. Everyone has their own way of doing things.
Since I've heard alot about what Feats to get. Where to level and Good Combo's to level with I decided to form this post.
Below I will describe leveling builds. Where, what and when on AoE leveling.
Skills:
Renew Mana - Max every level.
Mana Attractor - Set to half of the max for every level.
Casting Consentration - 100. Only raise after when you get interrupted.
Climbing - Highest you will need is 600 that I have come across.
Hiding - 30 So you can hide from other players.
All other skills are personal refrence like Run Speed, Perception etc. Bandaging and Recovery are completely useless to Priests. Use potions if needed.
Gear while leveling: Max Health - Gives you a health boost. Max Mana - Increases your mana pool. Wisdom/Magic Damage - Increases Damage from spells (Supposedly) Mana/Health/Stam Regen - Increases the rate of regeneration to your Stam/Mana/Health.
While solo grinding make sure to use: S - Solo H - Healing I - Is E - Easier L - Less D - Damage
Use a Book/Staff when grouping and not taking any incoming damage from players or NPC's for better stats.
Nastal's AoE Feat Build:
I know there is many builds out there that are playable or may excell in one area or another. I prefer to speak upon my experience rather then the experience of others.
This is my level grinding build at level 80. Been AoE grinding with a mixture of quests since mid 40's. I have to say this has been very easy with practice. You will be grinding most of your levels post 50.
< Some points you may not be able to put in right away. Save them untill you can. This is how the points should be spent based off amount per level. Example: 24-25 Revivication (You wont be able to put your point in at 24, wait till you hit 25 then put both in). >
Start in the Vengeance feat tree.
Vengeance: 10-14 Improved Smite 15-19 Cleansing Fire 20-23 Holy Vengeance 24-25 Revivication (2 points only) 26-28 Glowing Radiance 29 Searing Light (Wont be able to spend point untill level 30)
General: 30-33 Ether Flow
Divinity: 34-38 Lance of Mitra 39-42 Divine Lance
General: 43-44 Far-Reaching Spirit 45-47 Grace 48-51 Presence of Mind
Divinity: 52-56 Holy Accession 57 Clarity of Mind 58-61 Wrath of Mitra 62-64 Force of Will 65-67 Purification 68-70 Improved Repulse 70-74 Holy Surge 75-78 Overwhelming Light 79 Avatar of Mitra 80 Empowered Repulse
Here is what the build would look like at 80. http://www.conanarmory.com/feat.aspx...ef16ef2e2f5ef7
This is ofcourse my opinion as of being level 80. I havent had any trouble grinding or PvP for that matter. Feel free to criticize my build or give constructive feedback.
Spell Rotation: Smite > WoL > Repulse > Lance > Cleansed Fire > Radiance > Lance.
Leveling 1-80:
*Always try to select the instance with the least amount of people in your area. If you find your area crowded, change instances untill you find something more suitable. Also do quests. They are few later in the levels so enjoy them while you can.*
1-20: Tortage Quest here, 1-5 is self explanitory. Once your in the Multiplayer part, start your destiny quests. If you happen to be below the required level to continue your destiny questline then I suggest going to Acheronian Ruins first then White Sands followed by underhalls last. I got to 20 before doing my final destiny quest.
20-24: Wild Lands of Zelata You can get here by going to Old Tarantia and going to the SW gate. Pickup as many quests in town as you can then start knocking them out. AoE grinding isn't really needed as much before 35-45.
24-32: Conall's Valley To get to here you need to go to Conarch Village in Cimmeria. If your leaving Wild Lands head back to Old Tarantia then use the West Gate to get to Conarch. Once in Conall Valley you will have a few quests you can pickup in Conarch for the beginning part of the zone. Optionable to skip these. You want to make your way to Cimmerian Settlement to start your quests. Also quest hubs are at Mountain Glade, Cascade Falls and Gravesinger gives a couple. You will find plenty of quests and a few elite quests for some decent gear to obtain.
32-35: Wild Landz of Zelata After completing Conall Valley head back to Wild Lands, there is a slew of quests to get here again. You will be getting quests for Border Range aswell. I suggest completing every quest in Wild Lands before doing the Border Range quests. Before heading to Border Range make sure to pickup the quest from Fabio in Old Tarantia in the Market District. His chain leads to a Sanctum of Burning Souls quest.
35-36: Outflow Tunnels After completing Wild Lands and Border Range you will have a couple quests to do in here. Its decent XP and the mobs arent too bad. Also you need to complete this for a Sanctum quest from Fabio. Also explore around to find the Sarcophogus it has a book on it that starts another Sanctum quest aswell.
*Optional* 35-37: Sanctum of the Burning Souls You can get here in Wild Lands, after completing all of Border Range, Tesso and Zelata quests you should have quite a few quests here to do. You need to find a group for this instance and make sure everyone is atleast 35+.
*Optional* 35-40: Wild Lands of Zelata The VERY NE part of the map there is Vanir Camps galore! You can get here by following the road North from the Lynx's, there is also a ressurection point up here. Great if you die you are still close to getting back into action. If you happen to run out of quests and dont want to go to Kopshef for questing then there is an extraordinary place to AoE grind here. Take some practice and alot of running but your constantly killing it seems. Took me about 2 1/2 hours to grind 35-40 out.
*Early 40's you can choose between two different zones. Field of the Dead or Tarantia Noble District.*
40-43: Field of the Dead Directly connected with Conall Valley. Questhub at Crossroads, Foothills, Stream Bridge. Follow the quests here in this zone while leveling. Like I previously stated. Quest as much as you can they are few later in the levels.
43-45: Tarantia Noble District You can get here by crossing the bridge in Old Tarantia from the Trade District. Alot of good quests you can do here. Some are bugged some are not. The bugged quests for killing the NPC's seem to work if you do them in "Epic Instanced" mode. Also start your arena chains. Your gonna wanna come back to finish at 54.
45-50: Field of the Dead Directly connected with Conall Valley. Quest Hubs at Lookout Point and Stream Bridge. Doing these with a little mix of grinding should get you to 50 without any problems. Also don't forget to try and do the Death to the Vanir line. Decent XP and good blue reward at the end.
50-60: Eiglophian Mountains Direct connected with Field of the Dead in the SE. Quest Hubs at Main Town, Hunting Lodge and a few around the roads as you travel. Can do some decent grinding in Cannibal Cave once your 52. Later in the levels you can grind out 60 in the Vanir Camps West of Hunting Lodge.
60-62: Thunder River You can get here through Poltain. Quest Hubs in the town and across the adjacent bridges. Decent grinding on Cannibal Camps on the SouthEast part of the zone. Quest as much as possible.
62-72: Atzel's Approach You can get here through Lachiesh Plains. Quest Hubs by Entrance and at the First Rez point. Quests will start becoming scarse. So you may have to grind some on one of the few camps I mention below on my AoE Hotspots section.
72-80: Keshetta You can get here through Purple Lotus Swamp. A few quests to do here, although I suggest saving them for level 79. Can easily knock out half a level through the quests at 79. AoE grind alot here, look below on locations.
AoE Hotspots:
**When doing most of your AoE leveling. Its generally best to get a group together. Experience is still spectacular and you have more ability to control your area. If on PvE server, just hope the spots aren't taken already. Make sure to have the highest level apprentice everyone.**
My AoE Group Make-up. We have yet to lose a spot unless swarmed by 80's. Keep HoT's stacked and Damage going and you will survive huge groups or another attacking group trying to take over your camp. WoL doesn't stack with other priests HoT's (Unless you outlevel your companions by 3+ levels) so only keep up Emanation of Life.
Priest of Mitra Tempest of Set Herald of Xotli Gaurdian Bear Shaman Demonologist
Eiglophian Mountains 53-57: Cannibal Caves - Directly East of Hunting Lodge. 57-60: Vanir Camps - West of Hunting Lodge.
Atzel's Approach 60-65: Vanir Camps - Before Skammestein. 65-69: Vanir Camps - Skammestein. 69-73: Vanir Camps - Fortress.
Keshetta 73-76: Cohort Camp - SE of Entrance. 76-80: Death Master Camp - SE of Main Town.
