Priests are spell casters and whether they are healers damage dealers that need mana in order to cast these spells they will need a good amount of spirit which will make their mana recover a lot faster, intellect which provides the priest with more mana and spell power which makes their spells more efficient. When it comes to talent trees, priests have tree different talent trees to choose from depending on their game play – Holy, Discipline and Shadow. Click here to watch the video: Priest Leveling Guide
The First talent tree I would like to discuss is the Holy talent tree which is designed for priests with a PvE healing aspiration. When you choose to be a Holy Priest you can almost forget about dealing damage but you will however become an awesome healer for single and multiple targets with several spells like Circle of Healing. Guardian Spirit, Prayer of Healing, Flash and Greater heals, Renew and more. Shadow Priests are famous for their Shadow form which not only looks interesting it also gives a Shadow Priest more spell power.
Shadow Priests have several damage over time spells like Devouring Plague and Shadow Word Pain which are very effective.Some of the spells the Shadow talent tree will provide the priest with make the priest a valuable team member for every group and raid because they restore mana and hitpoints to fellow players. Priests who are more into the PvP game play will definitely choose the Discipline tree. They are really tough because they have protective spells which make the priest and his allies really hard to kill.
riests have some of the strongest buffs in the game namely their Stamina, Spirit and Shadow Protection buff. Next to this they also have many other useful spells like fear, resurrect, shackle, dispel, cure disease and more. What is nice when it comes to resetting agro is the ability to fade but in general a Priest shouldn’t get much agro since he is always in the back whether he is a healer or a damage dealer In case you get a bit high on the threat meter you can always fade which heavily reduces your threat for an amount of time.

A Priest doesn’t have a lot of choices when it comes to the armor he should wear because he can only wear equip cloth armor. Priests have a lot of mana and do not have a lot of hitpoints because they are not meant to take a lot of hits. If you decide to become a Shadow priest you will have to have particular stats on your gear. You should aim for a lot of spirit, intellect, spell power, and hit and crit rating.
For holy priests it is similar but they for them haste rating is much more important than the hit or crit rating. One downside of a priest is leveling it because it takes quite a bit of time, even if you decide to level it as a Shadow priest. When you get the Shadow Form somewhere around level 40 it will all start to go a lot faster and at higher levels even if you choose to become a full healer be assured you will be needed in any instance group or a raid, since healers have always been a necessity in the World of Warcraft.
