Introduction to Priest in Hardcore WoW
Priests are often a underrated class for leveling and are actually an incredibly strong choice for hardcore. They are amazing healers, but also fair quite well in the open world even solo. With the right build, their sustain is almost unmatched with other classes and their damage can often be surprising. Though they appear squishy in only cloth gear, their
真言术:盾
,
and
make them tough to take down quickly.
Priest hardly struggle to find groups, especially for dungeons. They are often viewed as the best healing class (rightly so) and the
they bring is especially useful for hardcore. Also priests are quite comfortable staying in a full dps spec and still being able to heal all the earlier dungeons.
Outside of a wand, priests are also not very gear dependent and don't need to spend too much time farming or traveling for specific items.
Best Builds and Talents for Priest Leveling in Hardcore WoW
Below are two recommended builds for hardcore priest. Shadow builds are typically optimal for leveling due to the higher damage, greater mana sustain, and passive healing they bring. Though a holy build can bring similar damage and be more helpful in dungeons and groups it is typically less efficient. But it is hardcore so feel free to pursue what you are more comfortable with.
Shadow Priest Build
This build focuses on maximizing your damage, efficiency, and sustain.
Priest healing is already amazing even without going into the holy or discipline tree early. You will comfortably be able to heal all early level dungeons with a shadow focused spec (especially if you keep some +int & +healing gear on hand).
is such an amazing talent, and is what gives priests such amazing sustain. Once you have all 5 points in here, you should try to maximize uptime of this ability as well as finish mobs with your wand to start full mana regen quicker. Then
paired with a good wand while leveling will do significant damage and let you spend less mana on spells.
is certainly strong, but stuns that are random and you don't control can be dangerous at times. Also it's okay to let mobs get to you so you can take some hits to level your defense skill (safely of course). It's certainly fine if you do want to work some points into this talent.
吸血鬼的拥抱
will be where most of your healing comes from later in leveling.
心灵震爆
,
暗言术:痛
, and
精神鞭笞
all lend healing here while you take down mobs.
When you hit level 40, if you can spare the gold
it is recommended to respec
to go straight to
since it's so strong. Dropping
and picking it up again after as you work into the discipline tree is typically preferred.
Holy Smite Build
This build focuses more on improving shielding, stamina, and healing. Though it certainly lacks in sustain and uptime you will find with a shadow build,
惩击
and
do surprisingly strong damange with these talents.
This is also recommended if you are worried about your healing not being strong enough in dungeons or with groups. Another solid option is starting shadow, then respeccing to a build like this once you get to the tougher endgame dungeons such as Maraudon and Sunken Temple.
is still so strong it's recommended to grab first. You should still look to finish mobs with your wand and maximize uptime of this.
If you prefer to deviate a bit to work down the discipline tree sooner to get
and
earlier that's valid for more protection but you will sacrifice a good amount of damage. If doing this then you should also grab
and use it frequently to help with mana conservation. You can also go straight to
first if you really want the juicy buffs for yourself and your party first.
If you plan to play in a group the majority of the time, then certainly look to work in
,
, and even
. If you are more solo oriented then these typically are not worth the talent points.
General Leveling Tips for a Priest in Hardcore WoW
A wand is a priest's best friend, get one ASAP! With
you do the most wand dps of any class.
Priests have great sustain, it's important to try to maximize this by finishing mobs with your wand and letting
quickly regen your mana.
Keep uptime on
and
as they make you quite tanky for a clothie.
As soon as around level 20 you should start banking gear specific to healing (prio any gear with
high +int
for bigger mana pool and
+healing
) so you can avoid respecs and still heal dungeons comfortably.
Don't forget to level your defense skill! This is often overlooked and you should be letting mobs hit you sometimes (safely of course).
Learn new ranks of your most used spells ASAP to increase kill speed.
Feel free to skip abilities you likely won't use often to save money. There will be a list of some of these below.
Try to get water from mages whenever possible (don't forget to tip!). This can save a lot from having to buy vendor water.
Leveling Difficulty of Priest in Hardcore WoW
Strengths of Priest in Hardcore WoW
Several things make priest a great option for leveling in hardcore:
Very high sustain, utilize your spirit
and you will not be sitting to drink often
Great safety with your many heals,
真言术:盾
and
心灵尖啸
Ability to take down difficult mobs even solo with your
心灵尖啸
and high sustain
Generally recognized as the best healing class, highly sought after for dungeons
Not very gear dependent, strong as long as you have mana
Weaknesses of Priest in Hardcore WoW
Though there's a lot that makes priests strong, they fall short compared to other classes in a few ways:
Very low burst damage. Leveling speed is quick due to great sustain but are slower to kill mobs
No movement enhancing abilities so heals,
真言术:盾
and
心灵尖啸
are the only way out of bad spots
Shadow resistant or immune mobs are much more tedious to take down with the most common shadow spec
Best Races for Priest Leveling in Hardcore WoW
Race
德鲁伊
猎人
法师
圣骑士
牧师
潜行者
萨满祭司
术士
战士
矮人
侏儒
人类
暗夜精灵
兽人
牛头人
巨魔
亡灵
For priest there are three options for Alliance
人类
,
暗夜精灵
&
矮人
and two for the Horde
亡灵
&
巨魔
.
Best Alliance Race for Priest Leveling in Hardcore WoW
For Alliance, the first important decision is if you intend to raid at 60. If so, you should be highly inclined to go
矮人
just for
. This is such a strong raid ability that
矮人
priests are taken over other races. Also having
石像形态
for leveling is strong to remove many afflictions from mobs without using mana and
is also handy for a mana free heal.
人类
is also a great choice if you are not as concerned with raiding at 60. You also gain
at level 10 and
人类精魂
is great for maintaining uptime added on to the already great sustain priests have.
暗夜精灵
is also viable if you are not concerned with raiding, but really doesn't have much special going for it.
is a fun ability but nothing game breaking.
Best Horde Race for Priest Leveling in Hardcore WoW
With horde, both races (
亡灵
&
巨魔
) make viable priests.
巨魔
is generally preferred due to
helping to increase speed to kill mobs. The other racials have minor impacts but not game-changing and do not heavily impact raiding at 60 (with just a small nod to
被遗忘者的意志
for being good in some encounters).
Best Professions for Priest Leveling in Hardcore WoW
Primary Professions
Many of the primary professions are viable for priest, with some taking more time to level and also possibly making more for you on the auction house or trade:
炼金术
paired with
草药学
is a great option for priest. Extra mana potions and boosts like
奥法药剂
and
强效聪颖药剂
are really helpful. Also you will benefit from selling potions (and leftover herbs) on the auction house. Pairing this with fishing (if you are willing to spend the time leveling it) is great to expand your crafting ability with items such as
水下呼吸药剂
. This will tend to take a bit longer to level than
裁缝
.
裁缝
paired with
剥皮
is also a powerful choice for priest. Skinning makes great gold, whether sold to vendors or on the auction house, and is used in a few tailoring recipes.
裁缝
can makes moderate upgrades in early levels to increase your spirit and intellect like
高级毛纺短裤
,
冥想手套
, and
次级巫师袍
. Tailoring really pays off later when you can craft items such as the Dreamweave set (
梦纹头饰
,
梦纹手套
,
梦纹外衣
). These kind of items are massive for you or can make you a good bit of gold on the auction house. Tailoring is also one of the least time intensive professions.
附魔
paired with
裁缝
is also worth mentioning. Tailoring is great to create items to disenchant as well as give yourself the above mentioned upgrades, though enchanting takes significant time to level and enchants don't get very strong until way later. You will be able to make some gold enchanting other player's gear, as well as craft your own wands early (
次级魔法杖
and
强效魔法杖
).
Secondary Professions
Even though you have many heals,
is still really valuable to level. Being able to heal without breaking your mana regen, or
心灵尖啸
into a bandage when in tight spots is handy. One thing to keep in mind is if you plan to go
裁缝
it will require lots of cloth, but auction house is always an option here if you do not want to grind humanoids.
烹饪
is good to have on priest, primarily for the extra spirit. Priests love every bit of spirit to help boost their sustain. Not to mention of course stamina is always appreciated in hardcore for the extra health.
钓鱼
is the most time intensive secondary profession, but has some benefits. Pairing with
烹饪
is great for consumes like
烤鼠尾鱼
or
炼金术
for potions like
水下呼吸药剂
.
Spells To Buy While Leveling
Priests will want most of their toolkit, but below are spells you want to ensure you grab and some that you can skip or wait on.
Some spells that are important no matter your build:
Look to take all or at least most of your healing spell and
真言术:盾
upgrades. Even if you only use a couple, it's great to have options in a pinch and these all become more effective with upgrades
Always upgrade
暗言术:痛
when possible, as no matter the build it does great damage over time for the mana cost
and
make you quite tanky for a clothie, and should be upgraded when possible
漂浮术
can be an absolute life saver if you happen to find yourself flying off a cliff or something, make sure to get feathers!
安抚心灵
and
精神控制
and even
心灵视界
are incredibly powerful, and great priests know how to utilize them effectively
Spells that you can skip or delay on getting upgraded:
If going shadow, feel free to skip on
惩击
and
神圣之火
upgrades
This probably doesn't need to be said, but you can skip
复活术
since this is hardcore and all
If going holy/discipline, feel free to skip
心灵震爆
upgrades
and
are typically easy skips
渐隐术
upgrades can be skipped until you head into a dungeon, where it really comes in handy if you get too much threat
Rotations For Priest Leveling in Hardcore WoW
Shadow Rotation
This is the typical rotation with shadow builds, feel free to tweak a bit depending on the type of mob or your playstyle.
Open with
心灵震爆
暗言术:痛
(Optionally) put on
真言术:盾
to prevent spell pushback
精神鞭笞
once or twice. If this isn't learned yet then use
惩击
心灵震爆
when off cooldown
Look to finish with your wand and keep
going as much as possible
Once you get to later levels, you can
暗言术:痛
multiple mobs and keep distance with
心灵尖啸
(aka fear juggling).
Holy Rotation
Open with
暗言术:痛
(Optionally) put on
真言术:盾
to prevent spell pushback, and
恢复
if you need some passive regen
Spam
惩击
Look to finish with your wand and keep
going as much as possible
Gearing Your Priest
Stat Priority
When it comes to gear for priest, the most important component is a solid wand. Otherwise priests are not very gear dependent, but should
look for the following stats when getting upgrades:
Spirit
Intellect
Stamina
Therefore, gear with "of the owl" (+int and +spi), "of spirit" (just +spi), "of the whale" (+spi and +stam) and "of the eagle" (+int and +stam) are all great options.
Spirit
synergizes so well for priests with
. The more you have the less you will need to stop to drink.
Intellect
increases your mana pool and slightly increases your crit chance. Having more mana is always great, but not as important as how fast you can passively be replenishing your mana with spirit.
Stamina
is your health, but you shouldn't be taking that much damage as priest. Plus
and
will help keep you alive early before you find more +stam items.
In later levels,
+spell damage (and +spell crit)
becomes more valuable. This is not true in earlier levels due to how spell coefficients scale and you should look to prioritize spirit and intellect.
For dungeon healing
specifically you will want as much intellect as possible so you have a larger mana pool for boss encounters. In single fights spirit is not as important. Great priests will keep as much +healing and +int gear in the bank as possible for when they need to heal dungeons.
Notable Hardcore Progression Items
The most important item for a priest is their wand (especially early), so this section will focus mostly on helping find just that and some other items while leveling:

高级毛纺短裤

Look to get
曲奇的搅汤棒

Great guide. Only take that I disagree with is taking Spirit Tap before Wand Spec. 25% wand damage is far more relevant and useful when you are hardly casting any spells in that level range. As soon as you get a Lesser Magic wand, you bubble, MB once and the rest of your DPS is wand until dead. You're back out of 5SR and mana refilled without Spirit Tap. The 25% compounds even more strongly once you get/craft your Greater wand at L13. Offensive spell casting is super minimal, so the benefit from Spirit Tap is largely wasted. Give me 25% more DPS from my main DPS source all day long.
