I’d recommend for a beginner this which is the same setup I’ve as my main since it can perform really well too:
You dump all of your points into SPR.
As to why is it beginner friendly is that it requires NO equipment whatsoever to get going or kill since with maxed Blessing and full SPR the skill is going to add so much dmg to your autos that you’re going to breeze through content with ease, gets even easier once you reach Plague Doctor and get Healing Factor you become partially unkillable unless you take more damage than you can regen which is pretty unlikely due to all the healing you’ve in your arsenal.
The only downside to this is the constant recasting of buffs and that you’re basically auto attacking 90% of the time (gets better at R8 when you get Black Death Steam for the aoe DMG though) but after a while you get used to it, you also need to buy items to use your Priest buffs (you buy them at the Priest Master) they’re extremely cheap goes from 20 silver to 30 silver each of them which is pretty easy to come by and easy to refill too.
Also everyone wants you in parties because your Blessing adds so much dmg, even more with your Sacrament and Last Rites shall the opportunity arise that you’re in a party with a few physical dmg dealers like Archers and Swordies.
Overall pretty easy experience and good for first time players to get to know the game and then if you want to make something more complex you already know the basics.
