Pimp my Vatnir (celebrant)

Parasol_Syndicate · August 2, 2018

So, I have completed the introductory fight of BOW. and have recruited the new companion.

I haven't done too much with him yet, because I want to rebuild him right for my party. I'm level 20.

What are the must have abilities/ skills for a Celebrant (chanter/priest)? Overall role would be buffing and healing with some party friendly damage spells.

He seems a little more fragile than Xoti, so I'm thinking of keeping him in the back rank with a rod or scepter.

I feel like there's not a ton to say about celebrants in particular. Grab some summons on the Chanter side, since Priests can't do that, and maybe Scion of Flame if you go for burn damage invocations/spells. You probably won't need healing chants, so you can probably take the straight buffs instead. Priest staples are staples: Suppress Affliction, Consecrated Ground, Devotions for the Faithful. BDD, etc.

Seems like solid advice overall.

Vatnir's default skill setup is a lot like a rogue. Lots of stealth and slight of hand, and no athletics. From that. I diverged into modest arcana, alchemy and athletics, with mental skills of religion and bluff. (without going too far into spoilers, that's what seemed to fit the guy's characterization)

I'm not blasphemous enough to take a revive spell on a priest of Rymrgand, but I am still going to make full use of Aefyllath against the (presumbably) abundant cold based enemies.

Rather than a swiss army knife, I'm just going to focus on summoning hordes of improved wyrms with spent phrases.

Rapid casting, Tough, and Practiced Healer to round it out.
