Introduction This guide was conceived to provide a comprehensive source of information regarding the nuances associated with playing the Priest class in World of Warcraft (WoW). This guide serves as a contribution to the WoW gaming community to foster an appreciation for the Priest class, to provide new Priests with a better understanding of their class and to facilitate the interaction of Priests with other classes. The information provided within this guide has been verified by multiple Priests at various levels. cheap wow gold However, most of these volunteers were undead so it was difficult to verify the racial talents/spells. This current version of this guide is written with precise objectives, the best ways to get to 60 as fast as possible, and how to be the best healer you can be once you get there. Since there are many ways to build and play a Priest, it is important to emphasize that the recommendations provided within this guide are specifically targeted to meet these objectives.

General Class Description From Blizzard: The Priest class is the master of healing and hate control. Other classes such as the Shaman, Druid, and Paladin can heal, but not as well as the Priest. The Priest can also resurrect dead players along with the Shaman and Paladin. The Warlock also has the ability to resurrect, through the use of soul stones. The Priest has some buffs that can help party members. The Priest can even take control of humanoid monsters at higher character levels. wow gold Much has been said about this description, yet the current manifestation of the Priest is somewhat different than Blizzard’s original description. The Priest class is a very functional, well-balanced class that has the capability to be powerful in both PvP and PvE, doing damage or healing. However, you cannot do both and expect to be the best so it is important to choose your path wisely and specialize in that path through a judicious selection of your talents. 3 Shadow Priest vs. Holy Priest When we discuss Priest roles, we typically use the terms “Shadow Priest” and “Holy Priest” to describe the two Priest class paths. This is somewhat misleading however, since each path optimally includes talents within the Discipline tree. Therefore, “Shadow Priest” actually refers to those with Shadow/Discipline builds and Holy Priest refers to those with Holy/Discipline builds. Both are valid builds, and both have a role to play, yet however similar they are in some ways, they are also very different. 3.a Shadow Priest The Shadow Priest puts the majority of their points into Shadow, usually at least 31 points so they can get Shadowform. This is the preferred build for leveling to 60 as your damage output is vastly increased, rivaling most other classes for pure dps. really cheap wow gold In Shadowform, you cannot heal, so you are focused on damage, with some added utility spells like Silence. In instances, the Shadow Priest can still heal, and be the primary healer most of the time, all the way up through Upper Black Rock Spire (UBRS), assuming you have a backup healer. However, you will have less mana, heal for less hp per heal, and spend more mana casting heals than the Holy Priest. Shadow spec is what you want if you want to spend the majority of your time in PvP. 3.b Holy Priest The Holy Priest is the best healer in the game. He will be able to heal more hit points on a single load of mana than any other class. Your typical Holy Priest will have at least 30 points in Holy, focusing on the talents that improve his healing type spells. As a Holy Priest, your damage is lackluster compared to Shadow, so you will not spend your time out soloing mobs all day, and if you do, it will not be as productive. However, in high-end, raid-style instances, you will be well suited to be in group one as the primary healer. fast wow gold You can spec Holy while leveling, but I advise against it, because as a Shadow Priest, you can reach level 60 much faster, then for a small fee respec to Holy. After reaching 60, if you intend to spend the majority of your time as a primary healer in instances and on raids in places like UBRS and Molten Core (MC), then you want to permanently spec as Holy/Discipline.
