Warlock vid will be late Tuesday next week 13/08.
Currently aiming to get 2 vids out a week that I can look at and think - "I would watch that"
Thanks all!

"I would recommend either troll or undead for horde" Ah yes, the only two horde races able to be priest.

_"...and then again, not everyone is going to be running around with Benediction, believe me."_

*cough* Except every Priests and their mothers, of course...

Your whole "Was it any good though" series has been excellent! Nice open minded analysis that is very honest and fair. Keep up the great work!

I spent a good part of my youth mind controlling alliance into the lava at Blackrock Mountian.

A note on wands: Pick up tailoring and enchanting. You can disenchant linen green items to get enchanting high enough to make a level 5 wand and a level 13 wand. You don't need to keep tailoring/enchanting if you only want it for the starter wands. Alternatively, there will be a lot of priests doing this and I imagine most will be willing to part with a crafted wand cheap, if not free if you donate some linen cloth (it is just wood + 2 lesser essence, a couple silver worth of materials). Seek out one of these priests to get the wands early without needing the professions yourself.


These will hold you over until you can do the Black Fathom Deeps quest for Gravestone Scepter. This wand is amazing for its level and will carry you up to 40 for Shadowform easy.


So even the con of "starting out slow and needing to spend gold on the AH" isn't much of a con if you plan around it. The wands in the 40-55 range are not so great, and if you still want to play without the AH, try to hit up Mara or Sunken Temple for wand upgrades. As a healer you can get by squeezing into dungeons at a lower level than you normally should, since your dps against higher level enemies doesn't matter. It also breaks up the monotony of the solo dot/wand grind. Have dps minions kill stuff for you while you trail along and get loot :D

Mind Blast having higher threat was because, and hear me out here, Priests were supposed to be able to tank. Kinda why Inner Fire exists as well. But thankfully the idea was scrapped very early on and Inner Fire/Mind Blast threat are just the hold overs of that crazy idea.

I played priest all through vanilla, leveling as holy priest for that true masochist experience. The class had big changes throughout the patches so the pre-TBC patch talents that Classic will be launching with massively improved the class. Prayer of healing is a truly incredibly spell, with talents, downranking and set bonus you can top the meters everytime, however I managed to actually pull boss agro from the sheer amount of healing it outputs so need to be careful. Shadow is literally gods of PvP until they run out of mana, they will destroy anyone 1v1 even in garbage gear until people are hitting tier 2, abuse the crap out of mana burn to make healers cry. Priest actually has many more weakness, is incredibly weak to rogue with no way to remove poisons and slows so enjoy the inevitable ganks, the only CC is 30 second cooldown aoe fear which is insanely dangerous for pulling more in dungeons, the lack of an interrupt outside of talented shadow silence is really awful against casters and no slow outside of channelled mindflay hurts against melee, you will be tanking alot of damage so keep inner fire and Pw:shield up at all times. Overall priest is a great class but certainly not the best, you will be competing against mages, warlocks and other healers for that sweet caster and cloth gear, utility is pretty boring and skillcap is low, plus you will be forced to heal in raids and mostly dungeons, so if you like shadow enjoy spending and farming 2x50gold every time you swap. Make sure you have a best friend as a mage as you will need that sweet sweet water, a few stacks to get by everyday else priest life is expensive and slow.

Haven't played WoW for 2 yrs..sub price and lean times. But Discipline Priest was my first toon back in vanilla days..really miss it. Was always my main and I never had problem leveling or soloing. Pvp was my addiction. Thanks for the walk down memory lane!

[OrbitoonsKids]

Your videos are so informative ans it really makes it easier to choose a class. You don't over hype even for the lower classes like other youtubers do regarding class statistics. Cheers also for not having any ads, Definately subscribed! Keep up the content!

[johanponken]

Shadow at 40 was so fun - go for max Hit so you can fight lvls way above you; DoT, slow, stun them to death. (Hmm, dammit, that was TBC, but build looks very alike here.)

[ramaset]

Your channel has popped up from nowhere it seems, and exploded well. I hope you can keep up this quality of content and you get the success it deserves. Speaking for myself- your videos have got me considering jumping into Classic, where before I had not been even thinking about it. Gotta see that warlock vid...I can’t decide...priest or warlock...I love warlock, but I also love

[Zukias]

I like how your videos are formatted; compact, and straight to the point.

[lorenzowaeles]

If only spirit tap could also be randomly proc by a spell hit would make shadow so much more valuable

[international_perspective]

this is the 3rd video of your series that I've watched and I've got to say... youve done an outstanding job! very engaging :)

[saiyan_princestudios]

i was actually leveling faster as a spriest recently then i did was a warlock. The wand and spirit regen is amazing. I've main'ed both for years so pretty familiar with both classes.

[TheSquaredRoot]

Maining a Priest for Classic. As soon as Classic was announced there wasn't a question in my mind as to what I wanted to play. You could have also mentioned that Priests can solo gold farm really well as well. Phase 1 you can do Mara Princess runs. Phase 2+ you can do DM East Lasher AoE farm. Can't wait, pretty hyped. Can't stop playing the stress test. Great video!

[MarshManRules]

I've been waiting for this video for like 2 weeks now, thank you!!
