Priests are known to be very capable healers in WoW. However, priests can be good damage dealers too. When you want to make a Priest character you will be able to choose between a certain amount of races. If you role horde the choice of races when it comes to the Priest class will fall on Trolls, Undead and Blood Elves. If you role Alliance you can choose between a Human, Dwarf, Night Elf and Draenei race. Each race has its own racial abilities so have a look at these before you make your character because some are more useful for a priest than others.

A Priest is a genuine mana consumer whether he chooses to play a healer or a dps caster and therefore he will need a lot of spirit which will help him regenerate mana much faster, intellect which will give him a greater amount of mana and of course, a lot of spell power. When it comes to talent trees, priests have tree different talent trees to choose from depending on their game play – Holy, Discipline and Shadow.

The  Holy talent tree is used for players that want to heal in PvE scenarios. 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.

As a Shadow Priest you will have a few dot spells which deal a nice amount of damage over time.They are also greatly valued in raids and groups not only because they can be good damage dealers but also because of their ability to heal and give mana back to the party members. The Discipline talent tree is usually chosen by Priests that want to heal in battlegrounds and in arenas. Because the discipline tree makes the priest a tough cookie with damage absorbing talents and nice new spells, it’s a nice choice.

Priests are also famous for their buffs: Power Word Fortitude, Spirit buff and Shadow Protection buff. They can also resurrect, dispel magic and disease, mass dispel, shackle undead, fear targets, mana burn etc. Threat plays an important role in WoW and luckily the Priests can fade when they get a bit too much agro to reduce their threat.

When it comes to the armor, Priests are purely cloth wearers which means that their armor is solely made from cloth. 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 a Priest chooses to become Shadow, he will need to have a certain stats on his gear. You should aim for a lot of spirit, intellect, spell power,  and hit and crit rating.

The same thing actually goes for healing priests but they do not need hit rating and could get some haste rating instead. Leveling a priest could go a bit slower in the beginning and it is advisable to level a priest as a Shadow. 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.
