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 ability lies with their skill at using spells to protect themselves as well as others in groups. 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: Single handes weapons such as maces and wand are pretty much the limit although you can learn to wield daggers and staves.
- Not good for Melee: The 2 weaknesses I just mentioned combine to make the Priest pretty lousy 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 because it requires really fast 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: 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 main thing in this talent build is damage control as well as healing and protection. Keeping the tank alive is actually the main goal in group play. 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. The Priest’s healing versatility make them a really fantastic addition to any group. Spiritual guidance, Circle of Healing, and Guardian Spirit are some of their special talent here.
- Shadow: This is the talent build of choice for those players who prefer more combat. 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.
To make leveling a lot smoother make sure you choose the right gear and talent build. But to have the most fun make sure you choose a talent build that also fits your unique playing style.
