Skillsets

- Fayth: Fayth allows the Priest to summon a spiritual Mace, which then they use to Smite their enemies as well as for some of the Kanai abilities. Fayth also allows the Priest to summon their own guardian Seraph,  which offers offensive, defensive and utility abilities of its own.

- Devotion: Devotion covers a variety of abilities for almost any situation that a Priest might find themselves in. Devotional rites provide both defensive and offensive options, while the skillset also offers passive defenses for the devotion users.

- Kanai: Priest's fully offensive skillset. Fanatism allows a priest to enhance their main attack (Smite), support their allies and use incense as a way to further push their agenda.

Combat Focus
------------

Priest's primary kill method is to absolve their enemies at 50% or less mana. To do that, priest will need to Kanai Target their foe at the start of the fight, to make sure that attacks like Smite and Sap increase the fanaticism against the person. Seraph Spiritwrack and burning Curative incense during the fight will help push some small amount afflictions on the enemy, while Inkburning will help the Priest with their main goal of lowering the foe's mana. 

As the fight progresses, the combination of Smite and Alacrity, as well as Purification and Sap will, combined with a perfectly timed Shatter, allow the Priest's Seraph to Absolve their foe.
