GAME. It’s all here!

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 following WoW Priest guide you’ll get a good intro into some of this class’s main strengths and talents.

Their main talent is to use healing spells to protect themselves and other members of their group. In addition they can both resurrect their fallen allies and destroy their enemies.

Let’s begin the WoW Priest guide by looking at some of their 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: 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. That’s because it requires plenty of concentration and some good reflexes. Read more about the Priest class 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. The main thing in this talent build is damage control as well as healing and protection. 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: If you enjoy healing more than anything else then this is probably a good talent build for you. They’re extremely versatile at healing and fantastic for groups. Some of their abilities here include Spiritual guidance, Circle of Healing, and Guardian Spirit.
• Shadow: Now on the other hand if you want to inflict damage in combat then choose the Shadow Priest. Mind Flay is one of the spells you’ll use in combat. It not only inflicts damage but slows your enemies down by 50%. For PvP, two spells you’ll use are 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.
