Notes
The Mad God’s Messenger Set was the eighteenth special themed set to be released.
This set offers a clear increase on the infamously small Priest damage output .A priest with WC tops and a Ring of the Pyramid would have 790 HP, 460 MP, 58 ATT, 42 DEF, 55 SPD, 55 DEX, 46 VIT, 81 WIS, making for a DPS of 1586-1210 (0-60 DEF). This set instead offers 2517-1851 DPS, further boosted to 3082-2417 when under the influence of the tome’s ATT boost (+20 ATT). It even surpasses a Wizard with WC tops, while retaining piercing.
The cost comes from the various quirks of the set itself. The wand fires two wavy shots with a decreased range of 7.5 tiles (true range of 5.72), and the ability swaps Healing for DEF decrease (-5 DEF) and ATT boost (+20 ATT), in addition to providing terrible healing (with a high MP cost). The Tome also gives a 1% chance to become Drunk for 2 seconds after taking at least 50 damage. While the Drunk effect does not often come into play, the surprise lag it brings can be a significant risk to your survival. Finally, the lack of VIT and small WIS further reduce the healing you’ll get. All this adds up to a set that is fairly dangerous, yet highly effective.
Trivia
This set’s art and concept appears to be based off of unused sprites for an unreleased ST set from the Kabam era:
The set is apparently themed after the Messengers of Oryx enemies, although the enemies were added months after the release of this set.
