Heal your group, shield yourself, or wear enemies down with Shadow.
The Priest in WoW Forever deals damage or heals. Level as Shadow, run dungeons as Holy and fight in PvP as Discipline. Humans, Dwarves, Night Elves and Gnomes play it for the Alliance, Undead and Trolls for the Horde. You wear Cloth and use wands, daggers, one-handed maces and staves. 13 of the 53 talents are new.
You are a cloth caster who can heal a whole group, shield allies before damage lands, or deal steady Shadow damage over time. While leveling you fight with a wand, Shadow Word: Pain and Mind Blast, and you can always heal yourself. Groups look for Priests for healing, Power Word: Fortitude and Dispel Magic.
Best to level: ShadowShadow is the smoothest solo spec: your damage over time and wand kill safely, Mind Flay slows from about level 20 and Shadowform halves your Shadow mana costs at 40. Also good: Discipline.
HealerDamage
You stop damage before it lands with Power Word: Shield, and from level 30 Penance heals an ally or hits an enemy. Alone you fight with Shadow Word: Pain, Smite and your wand, which makes Discipline a very safe spec to level.
Healer
You heal damage after it lands with Renew, Heal, Flash Heal and group heals like Prayer of Healing and, from level 40, Prayer of Mending. It is the Priest's best group healer and a friendly first healer, but solo leveling is slow.
Damage
You wear enemies down with Shadow Word: Pain and Mind Blast, then add Mind Flay from about level 20. Shadowform at 40 makes your Shadow spells stronger and half as expensive, but you cannot heal while you are in it.

HumanTop PvP pick
Alliance
Will to Survive breaks any stun the moment you need to shield or heal, and at level 10 you learn Divine Grace, an external instant heal that also clears Weakened Soul so you can shield the same target again right away.
Dwarf
Alliance
Stoneform clears bleeds, poisons and diseases while you heal through the damage, and your class quests add Desperate Prayer at 10 and Chastise at 20 for extra emergency tools.
Night Elf
Alliance
Elune's Light adds crit chance right when Divine Aegis can turn that crit into a shield, and Shadowmeld gets you out of a bad pull. Starshards and Elune's Grace round out your class quest rewards.
GnomeTop Alliance pick
Alliance
Eureka! makes your next spells 10% cheaper and 10% stronger, heals and channels like Mind Flay included, but no longer periodic effects like Renew. Expansive Mind and Escape Artist round out a great all-purpose kit, and your class quests add Confounding Flash at 10 and Contingency Plan at 20, a shield-and-heal ward that can save an ally on its own.
UndeadTop Horde pick
Horde
Cannibalize speeds up downtime while you level, Will of the Forsaken is one of the best PvP racials in the game, and your own Dark Sacrifice class quest spell turns spare health into mana whenever you need it.
Troll
Horde
Berserking and Regeneration keep you moving and topped up between pulls, and your class quests add Hex of Weakness at 10 and Shadowguard at 20 for extra utility.
Your class trainer teaches new abilities and ranks and resets your talents, and a second talent set opens at level 40. Weapon skills you do not have yet you buy from a Weapon Master in a capital. After that the skill goes up as you fight with the weapon.
Gnome priests, new in Forever, train with High Priestess Mims in Ironforge. Horde priests find trainers in Orgrimmar, Undercity and Thunder Bluff.

Level 60 is not open in the beta yet, so these builds can still change. Builds as published on wowforeverbuilds.com.
Rare and epic armor (Cloth) and weapons you can use, dungeon by dungeon by level. Armor and weapon types as in Classic. Getting to 60 takes many evenings of quests and dungeons. If you would rather spend yours elsewhere, a WoW Forever leveling boost for your Priest takes over those levels.

Devouring Plague and Fear Ward are no longer race spells. Every Priest learns both at level 20.
Each race gets two race-only Priest spells from class quests at 10 and 20, like Chastise for Dwarves or Contingency Plan for Gnomes.
Discipline gets Penance, a short channel that heals an ally or hits an enemy, and Divine Aegis shields on your critical heals. Divine Spirit is now a trained spell instead of a talent.
Not tested yetHoly gains Binding Heal, which heals you and your target at once, and Prayer of Mending, a heal that jumps from player to player.
Not tested yetShadow gets Shadow Word: Death at 32 to finish low enemies, and Shadowform now halves the mana cost of your Shadow spells. Shadow Weaving only boosts your own damage now.
Not tested yetHealing Power now also adds a third as much spell damage, and caster weapons carry spell power, so healing gear still helps while you quest.
Not tested yetEarly Demise now only boosts Shadow Word: Death on targets at or below 20% health, and Inner Focus no longer adds crit chance to periodic effects. Devouring Plague can land critical hits, and Shadow Weaving no longer fails to apply.
On October 8 Penance was toned down. It paid out like a 3 sec channel instead of its real 2 sec, so it now deals and heals less, with extra healing on ranks 2 and 4, and rank 1 costs 150 Mana instead of 100. The low ranks of Smite, Lesser Heal and Heal were evened out too, so every new rank you train is an upgrade.

Built-in feature1
Shadow. Shadow is the smoothest solo spec: your damage over time and wand kill safely, Mind Flay slows from about level 20 and Shadowform halves your Shadow mana costs at 40. Also good: Discipline.
Holy. Holy brings the big Priest heals and a Renew that can crit since September 24, plus Cure Disease for dungeons with diseases such as the Excavation Site. The one public dungeon list puts it in S, others lower.
Discipline. Discipline heals through almost any opener: Penance heals or hits on a 12 sec cooldown and comes at level 30, Power Word: Shield soaks the opener, Psychic Scream peels melee, and Silent Resolve shortens stuns, fears and silences. It is the top pick of nearly every PvP list.
Gnome for the Alliance, Undead for the Horde, Human for PvP. Gnome: Eureka! makes your next spells 10% cheaper and 10% stronger, heals and channels like Mind Flay included, but no longer periodic effects like Renew. Expansive Mind and Escape Artist round out a great all-purpose kit, and your class quests add Confounding Flash at 10 and Contingency Plan at 20, a shield-and-heal ward that can save an ally on its own. Races that can play it: Human, Dwarf, Night Elf, Gnome, Undead and Troll.
Wands, Daggers, One-Handed Maces, Staves. In the beta you buy the weapon skills you do not have yet from a Weapon Master in the capitals: Stormwind, Ironforge and Darnassus for the Alliance, Orgrimmar, Thunder Bluff and Undercity for the Horde. Your skill with a weapon goes up as you fight with it.
Gnome priests, new in Forever, train with High Priestess Mims in Ironforge. Horde priests find trainers in Orgrimmar, Undercity and Thunder Bluff.
For example Shadow at level 60: open with Shadow Word: Pain, Mind Blast, Devouring Plague, Mind Flay. Then your main buttons are Shadow Word: Pain, Devouring Plague, Shadow Word: Death and Mind Blast. The Rotation Trainer shows every button with the reason behind it and lets you play it yourself.
The Priest is easy to start with. Wand leveling is forgiving and you can shield and heal yourself, but cloth armor means every extra mob hurts.
13 of 53 talents are new and 30 changed. Devouring Plague and Fear Ward are no longer race spells. Every Priest learns both at level 20.
