Should I make commander with 4 holy a prophet?

This would give him 5. Is it worth it??

Or should I save it for a priest with holy 3 so that I'll have 2 with holy 4 which allows him to cast cast bless on all sacred units on battlefield I think.

Or give it to a pure melee type, so he will benefit from your blessing effects and make a kick-*** commander. All are possible strategies, it just depends on how you want to use your prophet.

Holy 4 priest can cast Fanaticism! That is just like Sermon of Courage but affects the whole battlefield. Also he can cast all the holy units at once (Divine Blessing). Level 5 priest gets Smite, a spell giving out nice amount of accurate (I think) damage that either is armor piercing or negating, unless I I have been unbelievably lucky.

That is especially true if you have a nature blessing... I was quite dismayed when my priest got nicked by a stray arrrow and went ineffectually beserking to his gruesome death... sending his vastly superior troops into a rout.

Thus it is important to consider what type of blessing your pretender gives when deciding who will be his/her/its prophet...

I've seen what I believe to be a bug with Smite though - that 100 precision bLast from the sky, striking empty plots of land. With just a Smite-Prophet, about 10 enemies, I would have been able to see attrition from Smite, but 4 out of 5 missed.

Like others say, depends on what you want, but smite is quite nice if you can get it. He can also cast the other spells too.
