Priests’ viability in the classic Burning Crusade

When it comes to choosing a class to play, it is best to choose one that you enjoy first and foremost.

For questing, dungeons, raids, and PvP, priests will always be a good choice. Both the Holy and Discipline branches offer powerful skills like Pain Suppression and Circle of Healing, as well as a diverse set of abilities including Prayer of Mending and Binding Heal. Their utility is quite limited in terms of buffs compared to Bloodlust’s output boost, but they make up for it with their excellent healing abilities.

While Shadow’s damage output isn’t very high, Misery and Shadow Weaving provide support for Warlocks and other casters. With Vampiric Touch and Vampiric Embrace, they can also supply a lot of restorative power to their group. Because they have similar powers, their buff utility is comparable to that of a Holy/Discipline Priest.

For PvE, the best priest spec is

Priests can opt to heal (Holy or Discipline) or deal damage, therefore the best spec depends on the role they’re playing (Shadow). In terms of healing, Holy has a higher healing benefit and raid utility, while Discipline will also receive a number of points. Shadow will inflict significantly more constant damage than Discipline in terms of damage.

For PvP, the best priest spec is

Discipline has excellent survivability and damage-dealing capabilities, and the spec is geared toward a PvP-focused playstyle. In PvP, Shadow is also quite viable, albeit their damage and healing may not be as desirable as that of a Warlock or a Discipline Priest, respectively.

For leveling, the best priest spec is

The greatest spec to level to 70 with depends on the type of content you’ll be completing, but Shadow is the best pick overall owing to its higher damage output than Holy or Discipline. Although Holy/Discipline has a modest damage output, it may be appropriate for players who mostly undertake dungeons, questing, and grinding.

Specializations of Priests

Classes in the Burning Crusade Classic will receive a total of 61 talent points, allowing them to choose from a variety of talent trees. However, most builds will invest the majority of their points in one tree, with only a few bonuses in the others. Depending on whether the player is interested in PvE or PvP content, priests have numerous possible talent combinations.

Discipline: Uses magic to protect allies from harm while also healing their wounds.

Many Discipline talents are designed to improve survivability, damage output, mana efficiency, and usefulness. In a PvE scenario, a Discipline Priest’s healing output will pale in comparison to a Holy Priest’s, despite their overall toolset being better-suited for PvP.
Holy: A multi-talented healer capable of reversing damage to individuals or groups, as well as healing from beyond the grave.

The Priest’s healing powers, particularly their AoE healing, are considerably enhanced by the talents in Holy.

Shadow: Destroys adversaries with evil Shadow magic, particularly damage-over-time spells.

Shadow’s talents are geared around improving the Priest’s ability to do damage while also being useful to other casters.
