IMO, smite priest is the way to go. Stack spirit on every item as high as you can + spirit tap + spiritual guidance does a lot more damage than shadow. It doesn't really come online until 40ish, when you get spiritual guidance, but neither does shadow and it hits like a truck. As an added bonus, you can heal far better than a shadow priest
First time ever playing Priest and it has been so smooth and fun so far. Only 36 but I have hit 60 on a few other classes in HC and Priest is incredibly OP.
There are definitely some selection biases and effects at play. The safest class to get to 60 is to play a mage single target frostbolt spec, but you won't see that in any basic statistics because of all the mages trying to aoe farm and die. Warlocks die the most but honestly I think it's because their power causes people to get in trouble (e.g. pulling 3-4 mobs on a regular basis and eventually fear pathing or mob abilities like chain stuns get them in trouble). It's not because the class is "hard" per say, it's because the class enables unsafe behaviors.
Healers usually are more chill ppl. Unlike Mage and Hunter player who are always high on redbull and kill themselves by running straight to 10 mobs and get dazed while trying to flee.
I would say you need to relook at your skill progression and blackout. I would skip it unless you are going troll, because it is on spell cast and not on damage, meanin if you cast SWP, it wont cause blackout on a damage tick. Your 40 shadow respec is wack btw.
honestly i'm surprised, i thought it would be more popular, be the easiest. I went with warrior, for the challenge. Would you recommend for SoD going 5 in disc 5 in that shadow talent, for the leveling? then respec at 25?
Not saying you are wrong. just saying you're not right. Go shadow. ive played a priest since launch. quit game and accounts many times after Cata. when playing in shadow you can pull 2 and 3 mobs at the same time after lvl 21. dot, mind blast and wand.. gg and c u at 60
You won't be able to craft the Greater Magic Wand because you won't be able to buy a Silver Rod from a blacksmith and subsequently won't be able to craft the Runed Silver rod that is i required in order to craft the wand itself.

why do you hate fun?
The only reason why so many priests hit level 60 is, that most priest players are very experienced.
Priest: Signature look of superiority 😂.
Exactly!

I am planning on going dwarf. Fear Ward is just so OP.
Not really useful in hardcore.
Good video overall. Skip mind soothe???!!! Are you nutz? No listen to that advice.
I loved leveling purely as a disco priest...so much so i'm currently doing it for the 4th time.
What makes discipline leveling so fun?
Best priest guide for beginners like me.

If you pick human as priest, don’t you also get 5% more spirit?
Silly question. Yes, of course.
Priests can do amazing things and healing groups feels great, but leveling is kinda stale. Well worth the boredom (healer bias -- I love healing lol)
priest is leaps and bounds more enjoyable to level than a paladin.
Auto attack for 60 levels

can you still heal dungeons as shadow or disc priest?
yes
Great Video! Thanks Bro! Like and Abo 😊

That's what he said to do as well in the video
What about the human racial 5% spirit
bro only made this vid cuz of xar
I'd rather play an interesting class and take my chances than getting to 60 on a snooze-fest class.
At least it's only snooze fest till 40. Poor paladins are snooze fest until 60 and ever after.
I find it the most enjoyable besides the lock.

You don't need a silver rod
you dont need a silver rod, you can craft it with your runed copper rod
