Considering that they can out DPS shadow priests (top parses) and some hunters / lower DPS, absolutely! I'm searing light spec this week to speed up our trash time / Loatheb / Grob / Noth kills with DMF.
@@epjones366 With it's half uptime it kind of suffers overall for dps. You're not really gaining a lot casting it over smite. Where it shines though is casting it when you have to move.
@Chris Osoniak The reason smite priests are not brought to raids in Classic and TBC is they give no buffs or utility, other than Power Infusion which is up 1/12 of the fight. 40m group with 5 locks, your shadow-weaving alone is like having 3/4s of a Warlock added to Spriest's damage(over 1/2 of Warlock's damage). Long fights within warlock party, you can heal them for a minute while Vamp Embrace allows them to life tap allowing them to not go OOM if shit hits the fan and half the melee dies(happens a lot). Neither are meta in Classic, but a spriest holds their own if you have 4+ locks in the group. Meta is 1-2 locks for health and +20 warriors. In TBC, not only do you give 10% shadow damage to whole raid, but you give 5% spell damage and around 200-350MP5 to the party and triple-quintruple that in HP5.
I once met a true holy priest while questing in Zangarmarsh. I asked why weren't they casting Shadow Word: Pain or Mind Blast? They responded "I'm a holy priest, I never trained any shadow spells."
Thanks for the fantastic and informative content as usual @WillE FYI I'm looking for a skilled priest for 2s on Faerlina once TBC hits. I'll be going S1 glad, maybe 2, 3 depending on how fast it goes
It's amazing that this just occurred to me, but another intro idea that exists would be "I'm here to ask and answer one simple question: Is your class any better now?" :P
Maining healing priest throughout Classic I've been so eagerly awaiting this one from you, but never wanted to be the guy to pester you with "pwease do pwiest!" comments. So thank you for following through!
Jeez, i really don't know what class I want to play. Every time i see those IIABN series, I think that all classes are so much fun and so interesting... I dont know if I even will play TBC, becouse it's too much to choose and to low time to play all :(
all priest "im so hyped for healing" me the one shadow priest "should i go healing i dont really want to but ik its better" tho tbh in classic spriest are the best pvp class we counter mostly everything in 1v1's but in bc mages and locks are both buffed in pvp
Been counting the days till I have debuff slots on boss fights, classic was pretty brutal to raid as shadow after bwl when debuffs and other specs became more viable.
I'd like to say to my fellow priest healers: do NOT underestimate the 2-piece bonus from tier 5. It's worth losing a little bit of overall stats from other pieces of gear to keep that two-piece bonus for a long time. A lot of time it's very efficient to be downranking greater heal all the way to rank *2* and if you get clever and follow rank 7 with a rank 2 to top off high HP tanks like Druids you can keep your mana up through very long fights.
Also! Primal Mooncloth! If you've any inclination toward tailoring at all I can't recommend the Primal Mooncloth set enough. It really is comparable to t4 and you can get all the way through Kara on the +healing from Mooncloth and dungeon prebis. As an additional bonus, you can pass on t4 tokens in favor of your guild's warriors and druids, which makes you a lot of friends.
I dont wanna be a well accuuuly andy but specing deep holy for pvp is pretty good early on before you get resilliencr. The talent Blessed Resillience is pretty good and i usually run it til i get some gear.

Think you'll find there will be a massive increase in resto druids, tree form takes poly out of the equation, innervate, shape shifting great tbc heals
Oh priests in classic WoW (vanilla classic or TBC) are so much more interesting... Even Mind Flay visual effect are much better than in retail. Just look at this, it's looks like Sith Lightning
priests are my second favorite class in wow. in classic it's right behind paladins and in retail they are right behind demon hunters. priests absolutely got better in BC and then again in wrath.
I was hoping we'd get the version of Circle of Healing that isn't limited to the target's party from when they buffed it before the Sunwell patch. I remember CoH being just okay before then.
I played Holy back in original TBC. It was a blast and highly recommended. I will however be maining something different this time. Probably resto druid.
The improved divine spirit is more to buff the priest is self, because it stack with spiritual guidance you have 35% of your spirit as extra healing and with more spirit come greater mana regen.
I know it's subjective but...imo, the priest tier sets in TBC are THE BEST looking collection of tier gear for any class in any expansion. Blizz art team were really on top of their game here.
I tried leveling a priest solo in Vanilla. AWFUL! However, in TBC, it wasn't awful. Especially with Draenei and Belf zones. Get a decent wand with specialization then go shadow. Wonderful. Still takes a bit of work. Disco actually became something worth using. But my favorite is still holy because zing all the time. I just leveled my hunter, shammy, and DK in retail. Next will be priest. As well, tier 5 is the best looking set. So awesome.
I was warlock going into classic, now a Hpriest preparing for TBC!! Such a hard choice, shammy, Rdruid, and I played both those already in wrath. Priest time, all raids, I will do all tbc raids, I can't wait fellas!
I still dont buy this idea that shadow priests only leveling ability was wand. I stacked +spirit gear and I was able to use all my abilities (Mind blast and mind flay) on every mob doing max damage and i still never had to drink
the login music brings back so many memories of failed relationships, failed classes, and being a failure to my parents. What a ride!
And now we have the opportunity to do it all over again! THANKS, BLIZZARD!
Think smite priest is missing? Well I have a little follow up video for that... very soon!
Considering that they can out DPS shadow priests (top parses) and some hunters / lower DPS, absolutely! I'm searing light spec this week to speed up our trash time / Loatheb / Grob / Noth kills with DMF.
@@ozo012 exactly. i hope he does a review of night elf smite priest because star shards is instant and 83% spell scaling. solid dps.

so close to 100k!

Strong RP
May the light be with him
Heroic.
Respect to people actually PLAYING RP and not just typing erotica everywhere.
Hope they were RP walking everywhere for consistency
Prayer of mending is the coolest most fun heal spell ever, that alone makes it a yes for me.
The only spell I like more than Prayer of Mending is Penance, and I'm a Warlock main :P
Are you saying Prayer of Mending is better than Holy Word: Salvation?
@@Hoibz Penance is amazing.
Been waiting for this video. TBC, we rise as one shadow priests ⚪
You sure do!
Looking forward to my first 5 shadow preist premade in pvp.
Thanks for the fantastic and informative content as usual @WillE
FYI I'm looking for a skilled priest for 2s on Faerlina once TBC hits. I'll be going S1 glad, maybe 2, 3 depending on how fast it goes
I loved Imp Div Spirit healing on p server and I can't wait to get back into it in TBCC.
I've been waiting for this, played a priest all through TBC and will be doing so again in TBC Classic
Woohoo! Love seeing these videos on my notifications
Tailoring gear for priest is nice to get started too.
This is an amazing series man!
Waiting patiently for the lock and hunter video :D
@0:42 Make the shadows use Multiply or Darken blending mode, instead of normal and transparent :) Great content mate, keep up the good work
Been waiting for this for a while now
Priest has so many great spells than any other classes IMO. Always my all time favor class.
Great video 👍
Leveling a priest now! Thanks Willie!
I dont play wow anymore, but i'll give it a like because you're a nice person
Thanks! And for coming to the streams too!
let's gooooo this is the one I've been waiting for
Shadow priest is a good mana battery for raids. It's always good to bring at least one shadow priest.
party-wide not raid wide
No one said it was raid wide
Was hoping you’d talk about and compare shadoweave and spellstrike gear!
Don't need to compare cos you'll be using both sets.
i have no idea how to play a priest. looking forward to learning something new again in classic!
Great healer to level up and gear in TBC as an alt in preparation for WOTLK too, since Disc and Holy are both insane, along with shadow!
I’m just waiting for priest in WOTLK. So good
Yessss more WillE
Found the gnome
Can't wait for the hunter/warlock!
This is what i've been waiting for :)
Thinking of taking a break from retail until 9.1 and using the boost on a shadow priest. Wanna see if I can get into tbc raiding.
waiting for this one :)
Ohh i was praying it was the warlock one🙏🏽
*dispels your hope*
wille all of your youtube stream vods have disappeared, I was enjoying watching them. where can I find them now?
Hey! Alliance Andy ! You forgot Devouring Plague on Undead. Its really good.
Every tier set is good... its so rare
is alchemy stone trinket thats gives 40% more mana from mana potions going to be avail at launch?
Finally a Priest!!! My main class
Ion: “lol buff the space goats”
Yes yes finally! TY
0:25 i see gnome
It's amazing that this just occurred to me, but another intro idea that exists would be "I'm here to ask and answer one simple question: Is your class any better now?" :P
11/10. My new main.
so now with the Blue cows is a option which is the best Pve class for preist?
Maining healing priest throughout Classic I've been so eagerly awaiting this one from you, but never wanted to be the guy to pester you with "pwease do pwiest!" comments. So thank you for following through!
I mained a healing Disc Priest in classic. Ive played a priest for years but now I cant decide wether to do disc again or shadow :(((
Jeez, i really don't know what class I want to play. Every time i see those IIABN series, I think that all classes are so much fun and so interesting... I dont know if I even will play TBC, becouse it's too much to choose and to low time to play all :(
I'm on the same boat!
Binding Heal is great, and underrated by the way
all priest "im so hyped for healing"
me the one shadow priest "should i go healing i dont really want to but ik its better" tho tbh in classic spriest are the best pvp class we counter mostly everything in 1v1's but in bc mages and locks are both buffed in pvp
You will no longer be oneshot by a shaman. So that`s an improvement
Been counting the days till I have debuff slots on boss fights, classic was pretty brutal to raid as shadow after bwl when debuffs and other specs became more viable.
finally priest :DDDDDD

All classes exept warriors are better now, but okay let's see the video xD
RMP here we go baby
Guys let get him to 100k, share his channel share it everywhere, he deserves more than this!!!!
Lol dude
@@markxv2267 lol xD
I gonna play for priest. That's the only class I had never level up.
4:32 Levelingwise priests were already extremely strong in Classic due to their wand.
I dont wanna be a well accuuuly andy but specing deep holy for pvp is pretty good early on before you get resilliencr. The talent Blessed Resillience is pretty good and i usually run it til i get some gear.
I can't decide what to main in TBC, everything seems cool. Current main is mage.

I need your huntard in TBC video, need to know if i have to re-roll.
hunters are cosnidering S tier in TBC,,, nothing to worry about 4 u
this is when wow starts to get realllll good
OK in tbc even with VT still have mana issues dot damage ok at best. MB and Swd good combo tho.
Think you'll find there will be a massive increase in resto druids, tree form takes poly out of the equation, innervate, shape shifting great tbc heals
can get banished in treeform..
Binding heal is pretty nice in arena
Can you mind control lvl 70s in tbc?
Does chastise break on dmg in tbc?
TBC was my favorite, and least favorite time. My guild never completed BT; but it was a great time to be a shadow priest. Except threat..............
Muqq in TBC always topped the meters...
i thought tbc is when dots started critting am i remembering wotlk then?
Oh priests in classic WoW (vanilla classic or TBC) are so much more interesting... Even Mind Flay visual effect are much better than in retail. Just look at this, it's looks like Sith Lightning
WOOHOOOOO
priests are my second favorite class in wow. in classic it's right behind paladins and in retail they are right behind demon hunters. priests absolutely got better in BC and then again in wrath.
Nice drop.
Always flirting with the idea of getting back into this
play priest
watch video
informative gnome man say priest good
feel good
I FOUND THAT GOD DAMNIT GNOME
I was hoping we'd get the version of Circle of Healing that isn't limited to the target's party from when they buffed it before the Sunwell patch. I remember CoH being just okay before then.
You're talking about wotlk prepatch coh.
This is why you will have. 100k followers 👌
You sure about the symbol of hope? I kind of remember it being a channeled ability.
Pretty sure what you're talking about here is prayer of hope, that's wotlk thing tho and priests get it baseline.
it's not channeled. instant cast, with 15 second duration. hymn of hope is likely what you are thinking of from wotlk+.
@@Maxvla oh right, it's hymn of hope not prayer, damn it's been a while😅
I dunno how it is in beta but holy priests were godly to me in BC and Wrath lol. BC is where I started holy priest.
What character are you going to level first in TBC?
Death knight
Im leaning towards necromancer but templar is also interesting
I remember Shadow Priests worked well with Warlocks in 2's...
And rogues
wheres the warlock in tbc video?
Shadow priest and lock is nasty in 2s
🤘
no mention of shadowplay in arena?
I can't decide between mage or priest.. I played a druid back in the day. Love arena and heroics/kara. Someone help =)
Can't wait for Hunters will be hunted.
good song by Heaven shall burn btw.
Hidden gnome 0:25
That Draenei racial spell though :O
I played Holy back in original TBC. It was a blast and highly recommended.
I will however be maining something different this time. Probably resto druid.
Most important change: Shadowguard gets its cool shadow orb effect.
Blood elves didn’t have the bun hairstyle showed in the thumbnail back in TBC
The improved divine spirit is more to buff the priest is self, because it stack with spiritual guidance you have 35% of your spirit as extra healing and with more spirit come greater mana regen.

I agree and personally think TBC had overall some of the best tier pieces in the game for every class.
Should i pick Warlock or Priest?? help !!
Exactly the same choice for me and I decided to go SP just because warlock will be play by sooo much players
Gnome in lower left corner
I tried leveling a priest solo in Vanilla. AWFUL! However, in TBC, it wasn't awful. Especially with Draenei and Belf zones. Get a decent wand with specialization then go shadow. Wonderful.

Next will be priest. As well, tier 5 is the best looking set. So awesome.
smite build is much better early on regardless tbc or vanilla
So is shadow priest finally useful? LOVED it in classic but it was such a meme :(((
I stand in complete and utter confounded awe at the sheer uselessness of the Blood Elf priest racial. (8-O
Anyone know what the priest discord is?
I was warlock going into classic, now a Hpriest preparing for TBC!!
Such a hard choice, shammy, Rdruid, and I played both those already in wrath.
Priest time, all raids, I will do all tbc raids, I can't wait fellas!
I still dont buy this idea that shadow priests only leveling ability was wand. I stacked +spirit gear and I was able to use all my abilities (Mind blast and mind flay) on every mob doing max damage and i still never had to drink
