The temple boost to prayer is especially important if you are playing with a low Dom and either have very favorable scales or are being threatened by harmful enemy dominion. Your temples will only generate candles based on your dom but priests generate candles from praying based solely on their ranks in holy. This means that an H2 priest praying with a temple generates candles at the same efficacy as a dom-9 temple... which is much more effective than your dom-4 or dom-5 temples are doing.
