Hybrid Abilities Usefulness One of the first classes that any player should choose for any party member is the Priest. 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.
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-Grace is "Choir of Angels," which heals all party members and removes negative status effects.
