Well, I suggested the items I suggested as a "starting" set of gears, which will later on be replaced. What I took into consideration was they're not hard to obtain, and are (relatively) cheap. I didn't mean to write a full guide, just a few tips to the start, and the rest will be learned in process using his own brain.
(and just a note, you DO lose a shield with DC but you also get 25% reduction from demon and undead when combo'd. But yes, it's meant for offensive-type priests [Suuuure you don't wanna reconsider that FS thing?
])
