Notes
The Mad God’s Messenger Set was the eighteenth special themed set to be released.
In addition to the stat bonuses it provides, this set’s wand also fires two wavy shots, with a decreased range of 7.5 tiles (true range of 5.72) and a fire rate of 75%. The ability swaps 
Healing for 
DEF decrease (-5 DEF) and 
ATT boost (+20 ATT) for 3 seconds, as well as giving a 1% chance to become 
Drunk for 2 seconds after taking at least 50 damage.
A priest with O3 tops and a Forgotten Crown would have 820 HP, 500 MP, 62 ATT, 42 DEF, 55 SPD, 61 DEX, 47 VIT, 83 WIS, making for a DPS of 2037-1630 (0-60 DEF). This set instead offers 2517-1851 DPS, a clear increase on the infamous priest damage output, further boosted to 3082-2417 when under the influence of the ATT boost, on par with the Mystic and the Necromancer, while still retaining the ability to pierce enemies. This DPS does come at the price of needing to be at dagger range, a situation even rendered slightly more dangerous by the DEF decrease that, while small, still decreases survivability. The major caveat, however, is that the ability heals 120 less HP than a Hallowed Language for only 20 MP less. Taking the 80 MP decrease of the set means that to continue ensuring effective healing, a divine MP heal pet is strongly advised. All in all, this set offers priests the opportunity for splendid DPS, but at significant costs to survivability.
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.
