Help me pick

without a bathory AM's can be lethal, and I'm guessing by free flywings you mean teleport. My priest gets hit all the time, granted it may be because my KE runs out or I get ganged because those evil mimics and arclouzes decide to butt in when the AM's and I are playing nicely.

Also, even with pupa and hp boosting equips AM's have an attack which I've seen them pull off consecutively and had two AM's do it at the same time (so one will use the attack twice and the second will do it once for three times total). This attack can do damage anywhere from 0~9999 damage (normally hits from 1k~4k on my priest w/o bathory).

I started leveling there at my mid 70's so I had little to no gear but the experience was worth it (who cares about 1% when you're getting over 10% per kill). So, no the priest doesn't have to be TOO high of a level but you should expect to die.

Also, one thing that has to be counted on is delays, in highly mobby areas or areas with lots of aggressive monsters, if you use TU, odds are you're going to run into a cool down delay which prevents you from healing/teleporting/etc... So if you use TU or use any other skill that has a cool down effect you're pretty much at the monsters mercy if you get mobbed since you can't tele =/. So, in conclusion, priests will get hit but they have the resources to get hit less than most classes.
