Important information
The unique thing about muskets is that they are incredibly slow weapons (we're talking twice as slow as a halberd/great maul). There is a lot of down time so because of this you will want to weave your divinity spells and heals between musket blasts. The trick is to not use two ranged, non-special musket attacks in a row. You will have to get a rotation down such as these:
Group of monsters example rotation
Ranged Musket Attack - VAMT (great power word pain) - Attack - FG (flame strike) - Attack - Spray and Pray
Single normal monster example rotation
Ranged Musket Attack - VAMT - Attack - Aimed - Attack - FG
Single difficult monster example rotation
Ranged Musket Attack - VAMT - Attack - Mani (heal self) - Attack - Point Blank Headshot - Attack
Stealth example rotation
Equip shortsword with hotkey (such as a blackrock machete +8/+9) - Stealth in - Backstab - Equip musket with hotkey - Ranged musket attack - etc
Healing Spells
Heal Self (29 piety, try to use only between fights)
Greater Heal Self (79 piety, more useful between musket shots)
Offense
Power Word Pain (39 divinity, underrated spell, use this early game before 100 divinity to take away about 20% of a target's max HP)
Turn (69 divinity, feel free to mess with this one if you're against undead but other spells may be better choices)
Banish (79 divinity, try not to use this until you kill whatever is cloning/summoning)
Summon Sword Golem (79 divinity, useful, don't use it when it may lure more monsters)
Flame Strike (89 divinity, underrated spell, useful at higher levels)
Greater Power Word Pain (100 divinity, underrated spell, might be the best spell in the game, takes away about 20% of the HP of monsters in a 5x5 square around you)
Special attacks
Aimed (50 ranged, 50 rage, a nice regular attack that also slows, use right after a normal attack if you can to two hit an easy monster)
Point Blank Headshot (90 ranged, 100 rage, use this against single, high HP enemies to bleed about 25% of their max HP)
Spray n Pray (90 ranged, 100 rage, use this against groups of monsters and you can even use a khaki potion with this for extremely easy clears)
Other hunting advice
Since you are priest, you can play healer if you'd like. Use your buffs to give yourself protection and health, try to buff party members as well.
Khaki potions
I wanted to give khaki potions it's own section. Using a khaki potion with spray and pray is a great way to do a ton of damage to just about any single or group or targets. It is possible to get a large quantity of khaki potions if you sit afk long enough doing two particular steps. I think playing rogue priest with spells between shots is a great way to use muskets and this guide shows that you don't need to use khakis to hunt with muskets (although I have nothing against those that use the khaki method).
