True, it's a known fact that pallies have to work harder to be able to tank the same things a warrior can, but as far as what I feel would work best with my setup, of 4 priests and 1 tank, the pallie tanks the spot (pun intended).

Mana should not be a problem with 4 vamperic touches, so I don't even have to consider intel as a stat, with any of them. Since they will in essense have unlimited mana, they changes things quite a bit. Same thing with health. I am going to stack stamina on my pallie like there is no tomorrow, but with my priests... naaaa They simply shouldin't be getting hit.

Of course it's going to happen sometimes but I would rather stack more +spell dmg on them because that equals more mana for the pallie and themselves, not to mention more healing for the pallie.

Things are working out real good so far. I got totally screwed up in SFK recently. I beat the first boss, then went up the stairs behind him and came up against some guy who was reflecting all magic on myself. So my SW:P was ending up on my priests, and my pallie. Now I wonder if dispelling could have fixed that problem, but one of my accounts needs to be reenabled and im broke right now ;(
