To all those priests here in those that plan to. Max out and use Revive.
Where does the idea of all those dumpster priests come from that this skill is “junk” (just got this being told).
It prevents death, makes invulnerable and regens half HP while being able to keep this skill up for good. It is literally the do what you want card. But every priest I met now, which were a lot, did not even level it up. Also the chaplains. 
Does Revive only work on the priest or on the whole party? Or is there a class or skill that let’s you transfer it on the party?
Thanks in advance.
Revive works on all party members within range, it’s a point blank aoe that almost covers your entire screen.
Off topic but; can u confirm zalciai makes enemy’s crit resist become negative or just zero… thnx
I see it as a skill that lets people get complacent. If you have a high level of Revive, you’re basically telling most DPS it’s ok to stand in whatever they want even if they don’t get healed.
Do not promote that kind of behavior. Stick with Revive at 3-4 and make sure people realize that they aren’t unkillable. Not to mention it is a massive waste of points later on for C2 and C3 Priest.
So as it works in the team, I do agree that this skill is awesome and very valuable especially for support priests.
Does anybody know if revive also works in pvp?
Moron detected. If that is the thought of all others, wow…
Yes it works in pvp. It especially saves from long range magic you can hardly dodge.
I have mine level 5 but people don’t die enough for me to warrant its use at lv 5. 
Have you played any other MMOs as a healer? Cuz I have. 4 others actually. And the fact that you have a skill that literally prevents death? It is a legitimate concern.
In fact, I’ve already SEEN IT FIRST HAND. I have level 2 Revive right now and the few times that I’ve run the level 50 dungeon, people have “died” on the boss because they simply don’t move.
So please, get a little background and experience before coming in here and telling other people how to play/what to do when it actually has adverse affects on the game as a whole.
And Gwen, don’t waste points on it. So many better skills are available at C2 and C3 priest than Revive. There’s a reason why levels 2-3 are standard in most build. That’s all you need.
And never use it below level 3.
There are people who know how Revive work and are able to look at their buffs. It is a minority but trust me make it level 10 and you will not regret it.
I bet you their Blessing is lv15 tho XD.
If any1 doubts if maxing Revive is worth it or not, go to twitch.tv/meddycakes and look at previous broadcasts where he PvP’d as Priest c3 in KTOS. I can guarantee you’ll be convinced on how good maxing it is.
You play a healer to save people with all skills you can, not to teach them lessons of life. If you can prevent death, you must do it.
Those who are always standing in fire will keep dying anyway no matter what you do.
I play a healer because most of the time playing a mindless DPS is boring. I rather like healing and it helps that my friend who I play most of these games with likes going DPS or Tank.
And yes, save people with ALL skills available. That means not wasting points on a skill that people will take advantage of and actually leveling more useful skills. Like Mass Heal, Aspersion or Stone Skin. If you want to waste 7 points in a skill and gimp yourself in those skills for it? Be my guest.
No words for this. I will ignore you now. 
Ranom people sometimes not playing the way you want is not a reason to ignore one of the best skills in the game.
@iago_l
Blessing 15 is legit because of the number hits even at 200+. Will be less valuable later on but it is not that bad. In the end 150 damage on 5 party members times a lot of hit is also some damage. 
The fact that you just said Blessing 15 is good…proves how little you understand how the class works.
90% of the time, even with level 5 Bless, people can’t get off 80 hits to fully maximize the skill. And you say 15 is good for the hits?
If i had krivis in my build, i’d probably max it.
So at the moment i just pre-cast it if i expect someone to just flop within the next 30s.
IIRC it was just the invulnerability duration, was capped at 3 seconds in Battle League.
I’d assume the HP recovery still works at higher levels but don’t recall that getting changed.
Nah I’d say only hardcore AA builds like A3QS3 would end up consuming the 80 hits in 40secs… Because for skills, it only seems to consume one hit count per skill used.
I would only max Revive if it was a PvP oriented build (not sure priest builds are optimal for pvp but that is another matter). Even that’s up for debate now with the invuln time being nerfed.
In PvE max revive is just not that great unless you are purely pugging and have bad luck. There are a LOT of skills going priest/chaplain that beg for skill points and Revive only helps if people are actually dying. I could see an argument for going up to level 5 but even that is stretching it considering you get +1 rank from Divine Might if you are going standard chaplain build. You basically just want them to res with enough invuln and health for you to top them off, anything more in pve is usually a huge waste of skill points.
Depends. According to my testings in icbt2 (if they did not change it) the blessing count goes down for every hit and extra hit on which blessing proccs and my monk actually managed to deplate the counter of level 10 blessing.
But yes, never said it is the best choice. But it could be worse.
