Re: Priests? What was your final build choice?

I admit. I am paralyzed. Been playing with the talent calculator and I STILL have not logged into the game as my priest and set it in stone (yes, I know I can respec, but I am determined to 'get it right' the first time)

From an RP perspective I always thought I would be the holy spec'd super healer, but after learning to love PvP (as a mage on Azshara server) I respec'd to shadow and am proudly melting faces.

What to do.. what to do....

So, gonna live vicariously and ask all you priests what you chose and what you like/dislike about your new build.

Fire away...



I've had a lvl 60 UD Priest for a while now. Went Shadow up until 60 then respecced to Holy to help out with Guild instances. I was the only Priest available at the time and it was good. Then we had a massive recruitment drive and took on some fantastic healers including Priests and Druids which was lucky because I found myself not wanting to spend endless hours in Raids healing every other mofo. So I took a step back and respecced to Shadow and camped up in the Battlegrounds. It has gone well and I have made Stone Guard in just under 2 weeks. And that's not with any particularly heavy BG sessions.

Then the patch came and I've respecced again. This time to a Disc/Holy build: http://tinyurl.com/o8fu7 and it's not too shabby. The only issue I have is that the casting times on Holy Fire and Smite are too long. It's definately not an in-your-face PVP build and does well at defending WSG and the flags in AB. I'm not sure if I'll stay with this build for PVP or whether to respec back to Shadow.

It's looking like I might indeed respec back to shadow. I can then melt the faces quicker to get myself the gear upgrades I need without spending endless hours in instances with a 1 in 5 or 1 in 10 chance of winning a roll.

For anyone that's interested my Priest setup is here:
