Starts HO for Priest.

Priests are most defiantly needed in every group in eq2. They heal and buff the group; they are basically an ambulance with a staff. The best thing you'll notice is that you get revive very early on and it isn't insane cast time or power cost.

Priests use Divine Providence to start heroic opportunities (HO). They put in new ways to start HOs so new players would catch one. Once you use Divine Providence, simply use the next flashing attack, until you complete the HO.

In groups the Priest HO wheel symbols are as follows:

Chalice
Holy Symbol
Hammer
Eye
Moon
Druidic Stones

Priest color is Gold in the HO wheel.

You should appreciate all the arts you get as a Priest and be sure to thank your fellow priest after being raised for the 500th time.
