Priest spells are currently very weak . some priest spells that were amazing in poe1 (such as consecrated ground) are now useless. consecrated ground (level 3 slow healing) slowly heals 30 hp while restore (level 1 fast spell) auto restores 40 hp. in future updates they need to rebalance priests. i suggest changing some spells (specially those related to healing and defense) and increase the duration of some spells (such as circle of protection). paladins are now way better than priests in almost anything. possibly if they added "practiced healer" talent in a update it would make priest spells less bad.
