Priest Class Overview

Find our new guides for Priest in WoW Classic Season of Discovery below! The new game mode will have players find and utilize Runes that can then be engraved onto their gear to provide them special bonuses that augment already existing abilities or allow the class to use entirely new spells.

Priest can function as both a DPS and a Healer, and while that isn't changing, the Season of Discovery will make new builds possible, and increase the power of already existing builds.

Priests have three talent specializations: Discipline, Holy, and Shadow.

• Discipline — This specialization uses a balance of Holy and Shadow elements to shield allies from damage and increase their magical abilities.
• Holy — This specialization uses the power of the Light to heal and protect allies.
• Shadow — The antithesis of Holy, this specialization uses abilities to wreak havoc on the minds of enemies and deal DoT-based damage to them.

The primary resource used by Priests is Mana in all specializations.

Priests can be played as Humans, Night Elves, and Dwarves for the Alliance and Undead and Trolls for the Horde in Classic.

Priests are only able to wear Cloth armour in Classic.

Priests are able to use Daggers, Maces (One-handed), Staves, and Wands.
