[Warrior Priest] DPS/Support Build Request

[kampylak0s]

Greetings adventurers! So, here's the thing, I wanna play a Warrior Priest with my main focus being dps and my second being support whenever i can. Never played WP before -mainly because im a little heretic - but from what I understand path of Grace is the way to go. maybe with a bit path of Wrath?
Can someone link a nice build/renown/stats/talisman/tactics suggestions so i can get a clearer picture on how my playstyle should be? thanks a lot in advance!

Warriorpriest cannot play DPS, sorry they do not have the tools you can play a more action orientated healer.

Grace is about constant target switching, keep an eye on your tanks buffs and your own, and throwing hots around.

And retreating when things go to hairy and throw group heals until your fury is empty.

Wrath offers very litle the tactic is a waste because it is already in effect when wielding a two-hand, it has a mediocre execute ability with less damage than the grace alternative+ grace also buffs parry.

I would say grace/salv is an option, either to use team dispel and pious hots on people while using sigmars grace to heal as well.

Wrath is garbage all the way.

i was thinking some in the lines of boosting my dps as much as the class can while using my heal/buffs to boost my survivability. Is it not possible? im not looking to out-dmg pure dps classes, i know that cant be done.

go for a DOK it's a viable version of dps WP.
be aware that you'll never dare to try WP again...
Less cluncky abilites and tactics
10% natural parry
parry debuff -10%
best healdebuff
well the list is too long.

On his side the WP has a big hammer and late invader skin is awesome

I think ill try KotBS, from what i hear they're the mirror class of Chosen. Descent dps, tankiness and group support. sounds close to what i want. thx everyone tho

Yea the knight it a working version of the WP

Go wrath, get a kotbs and sm and wl. Get a good 2h. Check my stream for when i play dps wp.
Not great but still decent. Also u can eat doks in 1v1 in grace parry spec. Alternate between spirit dmg tactic depending on comp. Soulfire and guilty soul on spirit debuffed target is good dps.

hm...i think that WP is better than DOK in many points...its true that do less damage but is better for:
Heal debuff is a skill, you can put other tactic(25% okey but in party is not your fuction)
AOE detaunt is passive, you can put other tactic
10% parry buff=10% natural parry
10% armor penetration<10% parry debuff oki...(only better vs some classes only...)
skill damage is superrior=more self heal, why? 2h=dual?...real not...in highs levels 2h do more damage for...
wp->divine fury, fanaticism, grace of sigmar, hastened divinity (50% attack speed)
dok->divine fury,murderous intent,curse of khaine(healing debuff), 1 slot(without empowered transfer)...many options but sorry...you need aoe detaunt ofc, includes in solo roaming and 6vs6 is needed, if you want play without that...you have a problem, you need it in many situations
heal prot vs damage/heal prot....which is better?....depends
party 500hp buff vs skill to debuff 50 AP point

Really if you compare both i think that dok its not better, its different, and "for me" WP have more versatility build than DOK

[peterthepan3]

Dps dok is much better overall:
Base 10% parry
50% heal debuff that can affect multiple people and be up almost permanently
Devour Essence.
Procs snare
Procs + dual wield = more burst (after WP initial 2h AA)

Wp heal debuff does no damage and is 25%..
