Overview
The Prophet is the main buffer of the Human race. You empower your party with a full set of Prophecy buffs, and without you a raid loses 30-40% of its effectiveness. At low levels an NPC Buffer or Adventurer Guide hands out buffs, but at endgame a live Prophet is irreplaceable.
Class path: Cleric → Prophet. You unlock the class through the 2nd class transfer quest at level 40. To compare the Prophet against other support classes, see the class tier list.
Key Skills
| Skill | Buffs | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Prophecy of Water | Mages | Raises M.Atk and casting speed. Cast it on nukers: Spellhowler, Sorcerer, Necromancer. |
| Prophecy of Fire | Melee DD | Boosts P.Atk and critical damage. The go-to buff for fighters: Destroyer, Tyrant, Hawkeye. |
| Prophecy of Wind | Everyone | Increases Atk. Spd and movement speed. A universal buff useful for every class. |
| Greater Heal | — | Your main heal. In a small party you cover the healer role, but for full raid healing bring a Bishop. |
Group Play
Every raid and every party wants you. Prophecy buffs raise the effectiveness of the whole group, so in raid content you sit in the support party alongside a Sword Singer and a Blade Dancer.
You're especially welcome on the Grand Bosses (Epic Bosses) — Antharas, Valakas and Baium. Without your buffs the raid loses a third of its damage. The Orc alternative is the Warcryer with its Chant buffs.
Gear
You need casting speed and MP. Armor: the Majestic Robe Set (A-grade), or the DC Robe Set (C-grade as a starter). Weapon: an Acumen-augmented staff to cast buffs faster — boost it with augmentation. For the full breakdown, see the equipment guide.
Leveling
Grind from level 1 to 20 on Talking Island, then find a party. Your first quest is The First Whisper. At level 40 complete the 2nd class transfer and become a full-fledged buffer. Solo leveling is rough — your damage is low and a group makes all the difference. For a detailed plan, see the leveling guide. At level 75 pick up a DD subclass so you can farm on your own.
