Confessor

“ Confessors are the priests of the Cleansing Flame, charged with winnowing the righteous from the wicked, and exposing evil and sin wherever they may lie. Motivated by the Twelve Articles of Faith, they have continued the High King's crusade against the Elves, and have added many other races to the ranks of the sinful. They pray to the All-Father daily, and their powers arise from lengthy invocations of the Archons and the Blessed Saints. Saint Malorn the Just, Kindler and Keeper of the Flame, is their greatest patron, and through him Confessors can work mighty miracles of fire, smiting the unrighteous and unholy, or keeping shadow at bay. Miracles of healing and protection are also theirs to command, but such blessings are reserved for the pure and faithful. The agents of the All-Father's final justice, Confessors can also lay mighty curses and maledictions upon the wicked in punishment for their sins. ” - Confessor Lore		Confessor  Judge of the Unworthy

Overview The Confessor purges the sins of the wicked masses through his affinity with the Cleansing Flame. He is capable of rendering the most intimidating of foes frail and contrite through his zeal to Saint Malorn. His spells are capable of making a sword arm heavy with guilt, stop one in their tracks, or sentence the condemned to all sorts of essence-draining and sin-smoldering tribulations. The Confessor is a staunch defender of the pious though. His spells can shield his allies from relentless onslaught or reinvigorate them. The Confessor is even selfless enough to sacrifice his own life for the greater cause.

Playstyle Tips A Confessor has a very unique playstyle. The combination of support and sustain can be a potent tool, when wielded properly. He is capable of wearing many hats throughout a fight with his versatile arsenal: healing or transferring health or mana in a pinch, mitigating damage with Steadfast Congregation, supplying sustained damage to the target, and even assisting with crowd control. The casting time on his key spells are very short so his kiting rhythm is easily learned. You will be very train tight on this class so be very picky about what spells need to be grandmaster rank and which ones are a luxury. Key spells no Confessor should be without are: Purge Wickedness, Purgation, Contrition, Brand the Wicked, Kiss of the Martyr, Steadfast Soul, Steadfast Congregation, Sanction of the Temple, Blessed Mending, Blessed Restoration, Contagion, and Summon. Shield Block is very good on caster classes because it has absolutely no downsides. Use this power at the first sign of trouble. You will be very vulnerable to crowd control effects. It is recommended to train Unwavering Faith from the Sanctifier discipline; however, Defy the Witch is very good for stripping off crowd control effects that have a very low stack rank, such as roots and snares.
