The Priest
The priest is a spellcaster with a diverse portfolio of spells. This class has the
most potent healing spells, as well as excellent buffs. It also has good
defensive spells that can ward allies from physical dangers and spells, as
well as purely offensive shadow spells. However, as a primary spellcaster,
the priest is extremely fragile, with poor health and weak melee power.
Allowable Classes: Dwarf, Human, Night Elf, Troll, Undead
Primary Attributes: Intellect, Spirit
Common Weapon Skills: One-Handed Maces, Unarmed, Wands
Advanced Weapon Skills: Daggers, Staves
Armor Proficiencies: Cloth
Class Abilities
Priests are pure spellcasters whose strengths are healing and defensive
spells. Priest spells are divided between the holy and shadow schools, and
fall into several categories: heals, attack spells, crowd control, and buffs.
While the shaman, druid, and paladin can also heal, none of them can heal
as well as the priest. Also, the priest has better resurrection spells than the
paladin or shaman.
Among a priest's best protection and buff spells are the holy word spells,
which can absorb damage in battle and boost the stamina of the priest or
its allies.
Another large class of spells the priest has is direct damage spells like mind
blast, and damage-over-time spells like shadow word: pain. The priest also
has good spells to counter enemy casters, such as mana burn.
