The Priest class is considered to be one of the best healing classes in the World of Warcraft. It must be said however, that priests can also dish out a lot of damage. When you want to make a Priest character you will be able to choose between a certain amount of races. If you want to play a priest on the Horde side you will be able to choose between the following races: Undead, Trolls and Blood Elves. If you role Alliance you can choose between a Human, Dwarf, Night Elf and Draenei race. All races have their own racial abilities so besides the looks you should also look into these when you want to make your priest.
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. The priest has three talent trees and depending on what kind of priest you want to make you can choose between the Shadow, Discipline and Holy talent trees.

The Holy tree is perfect for a typical healer. As a Holy priest you will have different types of spells to choose from, like Renew which is a typical HoT (Heal Over Time) spell, Prayer of Mending which is an instant protective and healing spell, Prayer of Healing which heals the whole party, Circle of Healing which is a typical AoE healing spell and of course, Flash and Greater heals. The Shadow talent tree gives the priests the ability to do a lot of damage.
Most of their spells are instant and they are famous for their DoT (Damage Over Time) spell Shadow Word Pain.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.

When it comes to the armor, Priests are purely cloth wearers which means that their armor is solely made from cloth. They are not high on hit points as other classes are but they definitely have a large mana pool. If you want to become a Shadow priest you will have to focus on specific equipment. You will want to get a lot spell power, hit and crit rating, intellect and spirit on your gear.
The same thing actually goes for healing priests but they do not need hit rating and could get some haste rating instead. The most annoying part of a priest is leveling it even though the Shadow talent tree makes it a bit easier. As you hit level 40 and get Shadow Form it will be a lot easier though and once you hit the level cap you can count on many dungeon and raid spots as either a healer or damage dealer.
