Priest
Priest Job Class – Final Fantasy Tactics
The healing mage; the priest will protect his comrades while dealing great damage to the enemy with Holy. Priest is a fun character to have for a while, but when the game gets more challenging it's annoying that sometimes you'll accidentally heal the enemy or when the revive spell is unsuccessful. You're better off using items.
Requirements: Chemist Level Two
Weapons: Staff Helmets: Hat Armor: Clothes, Robe
The Priest Job class (also known as the White Mage) features a wide range of both curative and protective spells. Although Priests will not be the strongest members of your Attack Team, when facing a group of undead enemies, their Cure spells go from curing to inflicting damage. The White Magic skill set is a great secondary ability set, but it’s not as reliable as the use of items. This is because of the way the Faith point system works. Those with higher Faith points tend to be more effective at casting magic; however, they also are also more likely to take higher damage from an offensive spell. The same thing goes for healing spells. If the caster has high Faith points, then the amount he/she will be able to heal is greater, although a character with lower Faith points may not benefit entirely.
