The Dark Priest is an advanced class in Heroes of Might and Magic IV, based on Life Magic and Death Magic. A Dark Priest hero gains Vampirism: for every 2 HP of Damage inflicted to the enemy in close combat, 1 HP is recovered.
Skills
The Dark Priest is most likely to learn Life Magic and Death Magic and fairly likely to learn the Order Magic, Chaos magic and Nature Magic skills. Non-magic skills can also be learned when leveling up, but have less chance of appearing for selection.
Comments
If you can manage to meet the requirements, this advanced class is a very good promotion, especially if combined with Grandmaster Combat and Melee.
A good hero can regain health as quickly as the enemy creatures are taking it away.
Alita Eventide, the main hero of the A Matter of Life and Death campaign from The Gathering Storm, is a Dark Priest.
