WoW Priest Guide

The Priest’s unique collection of abilities can make them really fun to play and great to have your group. In the following WoW Priest guide you’ll get a good intro into some of this class’s main strengths and talents.

Their main strength lies in their talent at protecting themselves and friends with healing spells. In addition they can both resurrect their fallen allies and destroy their enemies.

To start this WoW Priest guide we’ll take a look at some of their main abilities.

  • Healing Abilities: They’re excellent at healing both single targets as well as groups.
  • Resurrection: As I mentioned earlier they can ressurect their fallen friends.
  • Holy Magic: This provides Buffs, can Dispel and Cure, and inflict Damage
  • Shadow Magic: This can cause various Damage including, direct, and over time, mana drains, aggro control, and Mind Control
  • Crowd Control: They have some crowd control ability although it’s pretty limited.

Let’s now take a look at a few of their weaknesses.

  • Armor: As far as armor is concerned cloth is about it.
  • Weapons: Usually single handed maces and wands, although you can learn daggers and staves.
  • Poor at melee: Both of the above weaknesses combined make priest bad at melee and they have low hit points.

Priests can be difficult for some players to master especially when dealing with group play. This is mainly due to the fact it requires good reflexes and lots of concentration. Learn more about the Priest in the WoW Priest Guide

Now we’ll finish up the WoW Priest Guide with a look at their 3 main talent trees, which are Discipline, Holy and Shadow.

  • Discipline: If you choose the Discipline talent tree you’ll be well equipped for both raids as well as PvP, since you’ll be able to keep yourself alive. The primary objective for this talent build is damage control, healing and protection. In groups it’s actually the main role of this Priest to keep the Tank from being killed. To do this Priest’s use a spell called “Penance” which happens to be one of the best healing spells in all of WoW.
  • Holy: If you enjoy healing more than anything else then this is probably a good talent build for you. Priest’s healing powers are really versatile and makes them a great addition to groups. Spiritual guidance, Circle of Healing, and Guardian Spirit are some of their special talent here.
  • Shadow: Now on the other hand if you want to inflict damage in combat then choose the Shadow Priest. One spell you’ll probably use in battle is called Mind Flay. This does two thing, one it inflicts damage and two it actually slows down your enemies movement by half. Two spells you’ll need for PvP are called “Silence” and “Psychic Scream”.

In order to level the Priest class you need to select the right gear and talent build. But the most important thing is to have fun so pick a talent build that fits your particular playing style.
