Looking for help leveling up priest

[Blackrose]

i didnt find the priest very hard at all. just throw up shield hit em with a shadow word: pain a smite or 2 and then wand till dead renewing shield when you can. it seemed i was pretty hard to kill once i got the shield. hardly ever have to heal myself in combat. you have been training skills every 2 levels right?

edit: spelling

ok, well, im not that good as a priest until i can fully DPS constantly, im only good when i can do that sadly, right now i cant figure out a way to not die even when i use shield, i guess i just suck at leveling anything.
