Which do you prefer, and why? :)

Sorry, I love polls haha.

Diabolist was my favorite class in Imperian, which is a direct copy of Apostate. Some minor differences over the years (vast ones now) but you get the drift.

I loved Diabolist in Imperian! Haha,I miss Stavenn

Sena

I like the flavour/rp of apostate more, but I prefer the mechanics/skills of priests.

Diabolist and Defilers were so awesome, for little time I played Imperian.

Priest's super strong, good at a lot of things, and the bashing isn't great, but it's not terrible. Small artefact investment can yield big results (bar fancy pants mace), although any artie mace is an improvement, afaik. Seems like you can do a lot with a little, with priest.

apostate is good if you plan on being the support guy in raids. It's hard to bash as apostate, and shield tattoos will just make you cry.

I love the flavor I've seen from priest. The only reason I was never one is because my characters tend to gravitate towards the neutral/chaotic end of the D&D alignment spectrum.

I love the utility of Apostate and the flavor. My one regret is that you can't customize the daegger.

I never found it hard to bash as an Apostate, slowness of Decay aside. You're pretty damn tanky between putrefaction, demon armour, and ringmail, siphon and soulcage are helpful, and blackwind is an excellent "Oh snap, I am going to die" button.

You forgot apathy. Apathy spam lets you tank just about anything that doesn't already kill you in 3 hits, even in groups. Apostate bashing is slow, but not hard, not by any stretch of the imagination.

I don't particularly care about apathy.

When I first saw this thread I thought it was about my sexual preference.

Underdogs get my vote. I think priests just got some amazing new tools for their tool box and I want to see them in action.
