World of Warcraft Priest Guide
The Priest’s unique abilities and talents make them really fun to play and really great to have on your side in groups. In the WoW Priest guide we’ll take a look at some of their main strengths, weaknesses, and talents.
Their main talent is to use healing spells to protect themselves and other members of their group. They can also resurrect their fallen comrads as well as destroy enemies.
Let’s begin the WoW Priest guide by looking at some of their abilities.
- Healing Abilities: Their healing powers and talents are great for both single and multiple targets.
- Resurrection: As mentioned above, they can heal 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.
Now we’ll look at some of thier weaknesses.
- Armor: Priests are restricted to wearing cloth armor.
- Weapons: They generally are limited to single handed maces and wands but can learn to use daggers and staves.
- Poor at melee: Both of the above weaknesses combined make priest bad at melee and they have low hit points.
As I mentioned the Priests main talent lies in their ability to heal, but mastering healing can be challenging especially in groups. This is mainly due to the fact it requires good reflexes and lots of concentration. Learn more about the Priest in the World of Warcraft 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: This particular talent tree will make you well equipped to keep group members and yourself alive in raids and PvP. Damage control, healing and protection will be your main objective with this build. In groups it’s actually the main role of this Priest to keep the Tank from being killed. To accomplish this Priests use one of the best healing spells in all of Warcraft, called Penance.
- Holy: This build is good for players who enjoy being healers. Priest’s healing powers are really versatile and makes them a great addition to groups. Some of their abilities here include Spiritual guidance, Circle of Healing, and Guardian Spirit.
- Shadow: If on the other hand you want to be more involved with combat then the Shadow Priest is the choice for you. 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. For PvP, two spells you’ll use are Silence and Psychic Scream.
Choosing the right gear and talent build will make leveling a lot easier. But the most important thing is to have fun so pick a talent build that fits your particular playing style.
