World of Warcraft: Priest Guide

Posted November 19th, 2009 by Xerin

Holy Healers and Shadowy Damagers, our Priest Guide has it all for both.

Do you enjoy crushing your enemies, while keeping yourself and your team mates standing?  Then the Priest might be the class for you.  The Priest is a very powerful caster but does take a lot of attention and forethought to be played correctly.  You are a cloth wearing caster, and as such you are very squishy.  Sure you can buff up, and heal yourself, but you are still soft, and if not very careful, you will wind up running back to your corpse more than you are killing.  It is a very demanding class in that you have to watch your companion's health, and the amount of hate you are generating, at all times.  Do too much damage, or over heal, and you will be taken down.  As such, the Priest is not for everyone, but if you enjoy casters that can DPS pretty well, heal, buff, debuff, and are always sought after, then the Priest might be right for you.

We here at Ten Ton Hammer have gathered together as much possible information as we could about the Priest class and compiled it together here in our massive guide. Tactics, loot, where to level, skills, talent builds, and more are contained in our "tome of knowledge" that is the Priest guide. Everything you could possibly want to know about the Priest class is just a few clicks away!

If you are seeking information that somehow isn't included in our Priest Class Guide then join us in discussion at our Priest forums! Here you can discuss the class in detail with the community! You can even submit information to be added to our Priest guide and gain the fame of helping advance one of the best sources of Priest information on the Internet.
