Priests specialize in healing and fortifying spells rather than offensive magic, and are some of the only characters who can learn to revive party members with the [[Zing]] and [[Kazing]] spells. Priests typically cannot equip heavy armor, but they have better options than a [[Mage]] and can also wield a wider variety of weapons. Priests do have initially more strength, agility and resilience than Magi, but on the whole, their physical combat potential is average at best.

=={{DQ3}}==
Priests were the original users of the Wind-element [[Woosh]] spells in the classic era of the series, but beginning with ''IX'' these spells have been passed on to the {{Luminary V}} and [[Minstrel]] vocations. Priests have consistently had access to the instant-death [[Whack]] spells since their appearance in ''III'', however.

===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}}s, {{Wand}}s, {{Staves}}, and [[Shield]] skills. Their [[Coup-de-Grace]] is "Choir of Angels," which heals all [[party]] members and removes negative status effects.

Priests easily surpass the durability and curative capabilities of [[Sage]]s, but are not as {{MP}} efficient with their casting and lack the vital [[Kazing]] spell.
