Leveling up a Priest in World of Warcraft is no easy task. Just like other casters, you’ve got to balance your damage and downtime between fights. You’ve got to balance your mana and efficiency. Burst and Sustained DPS, and a host of other things. Well, I’m here to tell you that I’ve leveled up two priests with two entirely different priest builds. Today, I’m going to show you the most efficiency priest leveling build in WoW so you can get to level 80 and start raiding with your friends and not lag behind! Here we go!

Priest Leveling Build

Now, granted, you can place your talents however you want to, but this is just what I did. I’ll run over the really important talents in the article, but keep in mind that no build is perfect. How well a build functions is also incredibly reliant on your current gear and spell rotation as well. However, for the most part, when you’re leveling up, you’ll want to stick as closely as possible to the build above.

This build focuses mainly on Shadow and then jumps over into Discipline. It’s highly recommended that you place your Shadow Points first while leveling your Priest in World of Warcraft.

First off, Spirit Tap is a must. This allows you to regenerate mana at a much greater speed than if you were to just fight untalented. This means two things. First of all, you regenerate mana while fighting, allowing you to kill one mob, gain the effect, and more efficiently take down the second mob due to your mana regen. Secondly, you won’t spend near as much time sitting and drinking after a fight. Spread out this 10 second savings over every single fight in the game from level 10 to level 80 and you’ve got yourself more than a few hours saved from this talent. Improved Spirit Tap just adds to this effect, get that bad boy too.

Shadow Word: Pain is your most efficient damage spell in your arsenal (it does more damage per point of mana). Taking Improved Shadow Word: Pain would be wise. Improved Psychic Scream is always nice because it’s really your only crowd control spell as a priest leveling up. Use it and love it. Vampiric Embrace and Improved Vampiric Embrace will allow you to siphon health from your opponent, making you less likely to need heals during or after a fight. Again, more efficiency.

Shadowform, Twisted Faith, Misery and Shadow Power are all essential here because they give you an incredible boost to your overall damage. Mind Melt is great for this too. Done with Shadow, and moving on into Discipline.

Ok, right off the bat, we’ve taken Twin Disciplines. This isn’t only important for your spell damage, but let’s face it – there’s going to be a time when you need to heal yourself to get out of a sticky situation. I don’t care what any Shadow Priest tells you, even they heal when needed while leveling up in World of Warcraft. Since you’re going to be soloing and taking damage, Improved Inner Fire is an essential boost to your armor class and make you less likely to be obligated to use your heals (we never want to use our heals if we don’t have to. They take mana, thus taking away from our speed and damage).

Improved Power Word: Fortitude gives us a little bit more Stamina. This talent really isn’t that essential, but it is nice to have. We just took it here because frankly, it’s the best talent in the tear for priest leveling in wow. Inner Focus comes in handy in two ways. Primarily, it can be used as an “Oh, Shit” button when you’re out of mana and you need a heal or just one last damage spell. Secondly, if you use it BEFORE you’re out of mana, it just saves on downtime.

The rest of the talents can be shifted around a bit, so tweak it and have fun with it. See you Priests in World of Warcraft! World of Warcraft PvP

WoW Discipline Priest Build

This is the build that Discipline Priests in World of Warcraft are using to Raid heal nowadays, and rightly so. We’ve got all of the talents that are going to improve the buffs you depend on to survive, as well as a very good healing and critical heal chance buff.

If the healing crits and improved buffs aren’t enough, we’ve also got the “druidy” like improved healing with Improved Renew. Inspiration also comes into play here to maximize extra damage mitigation when you crit on heals.

I know this is a pretty short World of Warcraft article on the Discipline Priest build, but honestly, most of the talents are self-explanatory and there isn’t too much combo-ing going on with the tree. We’ve just taken the best talents. Have fun in WoW!

Well, our time has now come. Shadow Priests, you’re still good, but we’re gonna need to to slow your roll. Here we are to PvP. We are Discipline Preists!Right off the bat, you’re probably wondering where you damage is going to come from. Here’s the attack order.

First cast: Holy Fire

Holy Fire might be too slow to be viable for spamming, but it can sure start off a battle. If you’re trying to decide which spell to start the battle off with, it’s gotta be Holy Fire. Why? Because Holy Fire has a damage over time aspect to it as well. In order to achieve the maximum amount of damage out of a spell, you’re going to want to let it run out. By casting Holy Fire first, you’re getting that DoT slapped up on them and out of the way, so you can now spam direct damage spells.

Second cast: Shadow Word Pain

Shadow Word Pain is going to be your second cast because, yet again, you’re going to want to get the most damage out of your DoT spells before they run out and need to be reset. They’re going to be taking damage from Holy Fire and Shadow Word Pain at this point while they’re running towards you. It might not matter THAT much what you cast first, but it matters ENOUGH.

Third Cast: Mind Blast

Now that we’ve got our DoT (Damage Over Time) Spells out of the way they’re ticking their target to his/her doom, we’re going to want to bust our cooldown on our damage spells. What do I mean by this? Well, you’re going to want to use Mind Blast first rather than Smite because it does a lot of damage and has a cooldown. The faster you use this spell, the more often you can use this spell. This might mean an extra 1 or 2 Mind Blasts as the fight goes on. In order to remain efficient with spells with cooldowns, you have to use them right when they pop up. This is actually a great thing, because spells with cooldowns are normally very powerful and you’ll want to use them over and over.

Fourth Cast: Smite

Smite is a really powerful spell. People don’t know it though. That’s what makes it great. With the right gear and setup, you can be smiting people for just as much as a Mage’s Frostbolt and people won’t expect it. Their ignorance works to your advantage. People think of Smite as a weak spell, so they’re not going to be fully conscious of how much damage it’s doing if they have another person they’re trying to finish off. It’s going to take them by surprise!Follow this tactic, boost up your spellpower gear and research your builds and there is absolutely no reason that you can’t outdamage or do the same amount of damage as a Shadow Priest. Remember, you’ve got the element of surprise as an ally!
