Important Changes to Leveling a Priest in the Shadowlands Pre-Patch
The Shadowlands Covenant system is not being released in pre-patch, so will not be covered here. Players will not have the opportunity to choose a Covenant until their first character reaches level 60 in Shadowlands.
There is a new tab on your spellbook between General and your talent specialization, simply titled "Priest". These are abilities that are now shared by all Priests, regardless of what specialization they are in.
New Priests will not begin in a default spec (Shadow). Until they are allowed to choose a spec at level 10, their abilities are drawn from the general Priest abilities available to all specializations.
Experienced Priests will notice some talents have been reworked or rearranged, and may require re-acquiring some talents.
Shadow Priests have received a slight rework that will be active in the Shadowlands pre-patch:
虚空爆发
is now a 1.5 minute cooldown and lasts for 15 seconds. You can increase its duration by picking up the level 50 talent
饥渴虚空
.
噬灵疫病
returns as a short duration, strong DOT that costs Insanity to use.
Best Priest Leveling Spec in Shadowlands
For a total beginner to the class, although each specialization has strengths and weaknesses, we recommend Shadow as the best Priest leveling spec. Shadow is the only DPS specialization a Priest has, so it automatically becomes the best option for leveling.
Discipline can be a good leveling spec, as you are able to weave damage and healing spells and do significant damage on your own while keeping yourself healthy. It does not do as much damage as a Shadow Priest, but with spells like
苦修
,
暗言术:痛
and
惩击
, you are able to level without too much issue. This also opens up dungeon leveling with quick healing specialization queues!
The final specialization that Priests have, Holy, is not recommended for leveling. Although Holy Priests can deal decent damage with
惩击
and
神圣之火
, Discipline fills the same niche while giving you more damage in the long run. Holy can be considered easier to play with than Discipline, though, so it is not a terrible choice if you plan on leveling only through dungeons.
Choosing a Priest Specialization
Before level 10 you are just a Priest with a smattering of Priest abilities. When you reach level 10 you get to pick a specialization, Discipline, Holy or Shadow. Although all three Priest specializations can be leveled with, we do not recommend going Holy unless you want to level only through healing dungeons.
At level 10 you will select a specialization. You can swap between specializations by opening up the Specialization & Talents tab (or pressing N to open it quickly), choosing the specialization you like, and clicking the Activate button. There is no cost to swapping!
Discipline
: Use
暗言术:痛
and
惩击
to deal damage to targets.
苦修
can be used to either heal or damage depending on who is targetted. At higher levels, you can use
真言术:盾
and
to apply
救赎
on yourself (or any targets) for a few seconds, allowing you to heal for a percentage of all damage you deal.
Holy
: Use
惩击
and
神圣之火
to damage foes, while using
恢复
,
治疗术
or
快速治疗
to keep targets healthy. At higher levels, you gain access to powerful Holy Word spells:
圣言术:罚
to deal significant damage and incapacitate a target,
圣言术:静
deals massive healing to a single targets and
圣言术:灵
deals strong healing to targets in its area.
Shadow
: Use
暗言术:痛
and
to deal periodic damage to a target and
精神鞭笞
,
心灵震爆
to directly hit them. Spend your Insanity on
噬灵疫病
for even stronger periodic damage. At higher levels, you are able to use
to enter
虚空形态
, a spell that significantly increases your damage dealt for a few seconds.
Choosing a Race for Your Priest in Shadowlands
Choosing your race can be an arduous task, as it defines our character's appearance and is an expensive trait to change. Unlike in the past, Racial Traits don't give players many throughput benefits, most race perks are limited to utility or profession bonuses.
Priests can choose many races to be, separated in Default Races and Allied Races:
Default Races
are races that are immediately available to be played when you start your WoW account.
Allied Races
are races that are locked behind certain requirements that need to be met before you can create characters belonging to that race.
Each race has different racial abilities and spells, but no races offer an immediate advantage when compared to others, so you can create your Priest to be whatever race suits your aesthetic best! Priests can choose from the following races (click on the race names to learn more about them!):
Alliance
Default Races:
人类
矮人
暗夜精灵
侏儒
狼人
熊猫人
Allied Races:
虚空精灵
光铸德莱尼
黑铁矮人
库尔提拉斯人
机械侏儒
Horde
Defaults Races:
亡灵
巨魔
血精灵
牛头人
地精
熊猫人
Allied Races:

Best Priest Leveling Talents in Shadowlands
In this section of the guide, we recommend talent selections for leveling in Shadowlands as a Priest. Please keep in mind that the selections we list below are merely suggestions, and if you want, you can select different talents that can better suit your gameplay style.
Suggested Discipline Leveling Talents in Shadowlands
The talent selection below focuses on increasing a Discipline Priest's damage while leveling solo, and may not be the best selection for one who just wants to do dungeons.
Level 15 Talents:
惩罚
is a simple talent that grants your
苦修
one more bolt. The strength of this talents comes from its simplicity.
命运多舛
is not that strong of a talent as it requires you healing a target below 35% for it to take effect, and this should not happen very often during leveling.
教派分歧
is not that bad of a talent, but as you kill targets quickly, the spellpower benefit starts to lose strength.
Level 25 Talents:
天堂之羽
is the strongest talent in this tier, as it grants you movement speed separate from other abilities. Just be careful to place them in a position where other players can't steal them!
身心合一
is not that bad of a talent, but considering Discipline uses
真言术:盾
often in their healing rotation for its defensive usefulness, you will likely not benefit much from the talent as a movement speed boost.
防护圣光
is very limited for the talent slot, as it only gives the benefits when using
on yourself.
Level 30 Talents:
摧心魔
is the strongest talent in this tier, as it gives you an extra DPS cooldown that grants you some Mana returns in the process. The extra duration and mana benefit makes it a better option over the
暗影魔
.
护盾戒律
is not a very strong talent for leveling, as you only get the benefit from it if your
真言术:盾
is fully absorbed. You will not gain the extra Mana if the buff simply ends.
is not that bad of a talent but over time, it will deal less damage and return less mana than the Mindbender.
Level 35 Talents:
支配心智
is a very strong talent that allows you to use
统御意志
while retaining control of your character.
心灵之声
is not a bad talent to take, but the danger of pulling extra mobs with
心灵尖啸
is ever-present, and using it more often can allow this to happen more often.
闪光力场
is not that strong for the talent slot, as it only does a knockback and a short-duration slow. Can be useful in very specific situations.
Level 40 Talents:
诸罪加身
is a very strong option if you do not plan to do a lot of dungeons while leveling, as it is a static damage bonus that won't be diminished much, as you won't have a lot of
救赎
going around. However, it does quickly lose effectiveness in dungeons.
幡然悔悟
is a great talent if you plan on doing dungeons, as it translates into more healing via
救赎
.
暗影盟约
is by far the weakest talent in the tier, simply because you lose access to your Holy spells for the duration.
Level 45 Talents:
净化邪恶
is by far the strongest talent in this tier, as it is a DOT that can be spread with
苦修
and translates to more healing via
救赎
.
神圣之星
is a fun talent, but the damage it deals is quite weak and the nature of this spellcast makes this talent difficult to use.
光晕
is not that bad of a talent, but considering it spreads 30 yards around you, it does run you into the risk of aggroing more mobs. Not a bad talent if you can deal with the risk.
Level 50 Talents:
仁慈
is the best talent for a Discipline Priest that is soloing, as it is a simple damage reduction.
灵魂护壳
is incredibly strong for dungeon leveling, but will not see that much use if you're questing.
福音
has the same issue as Spirit Shell: Strong for dungeons and group content, but not very strong for a Discipline Priest leveling solo.
Suggested Holy Priest Leveling Talents in Shadowlands
The talent selection below focuses on increasing a Holy Priest's effectiveness in dungeons.
Level 15 Talents:
启迪
is a simple talent that grants you extra Mana regeneration, reducing the need to drink in between pulls in dungeons.
光明尾迹
can be strong if you can keep track of who you healed last, but with all the periodic healing Holy Priests have between
恢复
and
精通:圣光回响
, this talent is simply not very effective and will result in a lot of overhealing.
恢复信仰
is not that bad of a talent, but useless if you aren't keeping
恢复
up on many targets.
Level 25 Talents:
天堂之羽
is the strongest talent in this tier, as it grants you movement speed separate from other abilities. Just be careful to place them in a position where other players can't steal them!
身心合一
is not that bad of a talent, but considering
真言术:盾
has its defensive uses, you might not have it available when you need to use it for the movement speed.
天使之慈
is very weak for dungeon leveling, as this talent will only give you any benefit if the tank in your dungeon is doing a bad job,
Level 30 Talents:
宇宙涟漪
is the most useful talent in this tier, as it grants you a little bit of extra healing if you are using
圣言术:静
and
圣言术:灵
often.
守护天使
is only really useful when you're using
守护之魂
often, which should not be the case if your dungeon groups are going smoothly.
死后余生
is the same deal as Guardian Angel, except it's even worse: It's only really useful if you die.
Level 35 Talents:
谴罚
is by far the most useful talent in this tier, as it transforms
圣言术:罚
into an actual useful CC spell.
心灵之声
is not recommended to get for dungeons, simply due to the danger of
心灵尖啸
accidentally pulling more mobs into your group.
闪光力场
is not that strong for the talent slot, as it only does a knockback and a short-duration slow. Can be useful in very specific situations.
Level 40:
谴罚
is a great spell to pick, as the free
快速治疗
s allow you to be more efficient with your healing by drinking less between pulls.
联结治疗
is not very useful if you aren't taking significant amounts of damage, which should not be the case in a normal dungeon situation.
祷言之环
is not that bad of a talent to take if you feel like you're having to cast AOE heals often, but this can lead to your mana being drained quicker.
Level 45 Talents:
光晕
is not that bad of a talent, but considering it spreads 30 yards around you, it does run you into the risk of aggroing more mobs
祈福
is an ok talent, but the chance of gaining a free
恢复
is quite low.
神圣之星
is a fun talent, but the damage it deals is quite weak and the nature of this spellcast makes this talent difficult to use.
Level 50 Talents:
纳鲁之光
is an incredibly strong talent that increases your healing burst potential by bringing your Holy Word spells out of cooldown faster.
神圣化身
can be an interesting option if you feel like you're missing some burst healing.
圣言术:赎
is a very strong healing cooldown, but the reliance on having to cast Holy Words often to bring it out of cooldown quicker makes this a less attractive option to use in dungeons.
Suggested Shadow Priest Leveling Talents in Shadowlands
The talent selection below focuses on making your periodic damage application as smooth as possible while allowing you to move from target to target faster.
Level 15 Talents:
癫狂陨灭
is the best talent in this tier, as it allows you to more consistently move from target to target with the cooldown reset on
暗言术:灭
and the extra Insanity gains for
噬灵疫病
.
意志壁垒
is not a bad choice, but with how quick mobs die during leveling, it provides less Insanity than Death and Madness.
黑暗弥漫
is a weak talent choice, as the bonus to
吸血鬼之触
does not happen often enough.
Level 25 Talents:
身心合一
is by far the best talent choice, as it helps with one of the biggest weaknesses of a Shadow Priest, the lack of movement.
萨莱因
is an interesting pick in a max level setting, but during leveling, you will likely not be using
吸血鬼的拥抱
enough to be worth the talent slot.
暗影无形
is a good oh-shit talent, but same as Sanlayn, you will likely not be using
消散
during leveling for this to be worth the talent slot. Not a bad option if you like to live dangerously, though.
Level 30 Talents:
哀难
is an incredibly convenient leveling talent, as it means you no longer need to hardcast
暗言术:痛
on targets: it's two DOTs for the price of one!
命运多舛
is not very strong for leveling, as mobs will not be under 35% health for long enough for the damage bonus to be of any significance.
is not bad for a dungeon setting, but the damage is quite weak unless you already have
暗言术:痛
applied to enemies, which makes using this talent quite moot.
Level 35 Talents:
心灵惊骇
is the obvious choice here, as it grants the Priest with an extra CC in addition to
心灵尖啸
.
遗言
is not a bad talent, but an extra CC is more interesting than a few seconds off of
沉默
for leveling.
心灵炸弹
is only worse than Psychic Horror due to it replacing
心灵尖啸
, but this talent improves Psychic Scream enough to make it very usable in dungeon settings.
Level 40 Talents:
心智联结
is an excellent talent that not only grants a decent AOE component to
心灵震爆
, but synergizes pretty well with
哀难
.
吉兆
is not a bad choice for leveling, but you will not like be creating enough
暗影幻灵
to be worth the talent slot.
is not that good for leveling, as it requires you standing in place and planning for it. It can be strong in dungeons or in settings where you have tanks keeping mobs in place for you, though.
Level 45 Talents:
咒罚
is a great convenience talent that allows you to instantly apply all your DOTs, including
噬灵疫病
, free of charge to a target.
摧心魔
isn't that great for leveling, as although it has a better uptime and more Insanity granted compared to the
暗影魔
, you will likely not be using Shadowfiend that often during leveling.
虚空洪流
is not a weak talent and deals decent damage, but it is hard to beat the convenience of applying every single DOT on a target without any costs.
Level 50 Talents:
is an insanely good talent that instantly casts
虚空爆发
and grants you more Insanity and the ability to cast while moving, and by far the strongest talent in this tier. Just be careful to not kill yourself!
远古疯狂
is a weak talent, as the Critical Strike bonus will not stay in its maximum for long enough for it to be worth the slot.
饥渴虚空
is a very weak talent due to the effect lasting for a very short time and only on a single mob. In addition, the increased duration on
虚空形态
isn't significant enough to warrant the talent slot.
Best Priest Leveling Rotation in Shadowlands
Priests have one DPS specialization and two healing specializations with very different playstyles. In this section of the guide, we go over basic rotations for all three Priest specializations.
Optimal Discipline Priest Ability Use While Leveling
You will want to start fights by applying
暗言术:痛
on a target and using
惩击
to deal damage to them.
苦修
can be used on cooldown for some good burst damage or burst healing on yourself.
Elite Mobs:
Make sure you keep yourself shielded with
真言术:盾
to prevent any damage and use your offensive cooldown,
暗影魔
, to deal more damage to the target. If you find yourself in a pinch, you can use crowd control abilities like
心灵尖啸
to disorient the target, or many of your healing cooldowns like
真言术:耀
and
痛苦压制
to survive longer.
Lots of small mobs:
Discipline Priests do not have much in the way of AOE damage, and even after they learn
神圣新星
, it is generally not recommended to engage many mobs as a Discipline Priest.
Dungeons:
In dungeons you will be mainly healing while dealing some damage - Make sure you keep
救赎
on as many targets as possible to be able to heal everyone while dealing damage. As a Priest, you are also able to provide extra stamina via
真言术:韧
. Generally, using
心灵尖啸
is not recommended in dungeons, as it can lead to the fleeing mobs aggroing extra packs to your group.
Optimal Holy Priest Ability Use While Leveling
As we do not recommend using a Holy Priest to level in Shadowlands unless you're doing dungeon queues, we will only approach Holy Priests in a dungeon setting.
Dungeons:
Keep
恢复
on targets that are taking low damage and do not require instant attention, and swap between
治疗术
(if you want to be conservative) and
快速治疗
(if people are taking lots of damage) to quickly heal them. AOE heals like
治疗祷言
and
治疗之环
heals everyone in the group, but can quickly drain your mana if you use them indiscriminately.
圣言术:静
and
圣言术:灵
are your oh shit buttons and should be used when there's lot of damage going on either on a single target or on the entire group.
Optimal Shadow Priest Ability Use While Leveling
You will want to start fights by applying your main dots -
暗言术:痛
and
to your target. Once both periodic effects are applied, use
心灵震爆
on cooldown and
精神鞭笞
as a filler to generate Insanity for your strongest periodic cast,
噬灵疫病
. Whenever you need more damage, you can use
虚空爆发
to go into
虚空形态
and deal more damage. During Voidform, your Void Eruption spell turns into
虚空箭
, which deals moderate Shadow damage instantly.
Elite Mobs:
Make sure you keep yourself shielded with
真言术:盾
to prevent any damage and use your cooldowns,
暗影魔
and
虚空爆发
, to generate even more Insanity to blast the target with more
噬灵疫病
s. If you find yourself in a pinch, you can use crowd control abilities like
心灵尖啸
to disorient the target, heal yourself in a pinch with
绝望祷言
, or heal yourself while dealing damage with
吸血鬼的拥抱
.
Lots of small mobs:
Initially you won't be able to do much but throw DOTs on all your targets, but a Shadow Priest's AOE will get better as they learn abilities such as
or even the talents
哀难
and
心智联结
.
Dungeons:
Make sure to help your team by interrupting as many mobs as you can with
沉默
and providing your team with extra stamina via
真言术:韧
. Generally, using
心灵尖啸
is not recommended in dungeons, as it can lead to the fleeing mobs aggroing extra packs to your group.
Priest Dungeon Leveling in Shadowlands
Currently, speed leveling through dungeon boosting is working on the Shadowlands pre-patch PTR. Dungeon boosting is having a max-level character pulling a low-level character through dungeons. This allows people to level a character from 10-50 in about 3 hours.
This may be nerfed prior to release, so do not count on this technique being available unless it is still in place when the pre-patch goes live.
In case this isn't available, or you don't have a max level character to do this for you, here are some general tips about dungeon leveling for Priests.
Discipline or Holy are the specs to go with for dungeon leveling. Dungeon queues are perpetually short of healers, so you'll find yourself getting a group nearly instantly, instead of having to wait 15 minutes (or longer) for a group as a DPS class.
As a healer in a dungeon, your main job is to keep your group healthy. DPSing as a Healing Priest is nice but you are not expected to do it, DPS while your entire group is safe and not taking heavy amounts of damage, but quickly heal them back up if the need arises.
Shadow Priests can also be useful in a dungeon leveling setting, just be mindful that you will not be able to get into dungeons super fast due to being a DPS specialization. You will want to quest while waiting for dungeon queues to maximize your leveling time.
Best Weapons and Gear For Leveling a Priest in WoW Shadowlands
Priest Heirlooms in Shadowlands
Heirloom gear is a special gear category that scales with your current level, can be created on the fly with the Heirloom menu, and offers set bonuses when multiple heirloom pieces are worn. The heirloom set bonuses are listed below:
2 Pieces:
Rested experience consumed is reduced by 30%.
3 Pieces
: Increases your out-of-combat regeneration in the outdoors, normal dungeons and battlegrounds.
5 Pieces
: Gaining a level triggers Burst of Knowledge, dealing 6546 Holy damage to nearby enemies and granting you 40% $pri for 2 min. Defeating enemies extends this effect, up to an additional 2 min.
6 Pieces
: Rested experience consumed is reduced by 30%.
As of Shadowlands, Heirlooms no longer grant increased experience gains when worn, and the only benefit from wearing them now comes from the fact that they scale with you and the set bonuses, so they are no longer considered that strong or necessary to wear.
For more information on the state of heirlooms in Shadowlands, check our heirloom changes guide.
Heirloom Changes in Shadowlands
Here is a list of recommended heirlooms for Priest players to level with:
Helm:
破烂的鬼雾面罩
Necklace:
永恒救赎护符
or
堕落者的训练护符
Shoulder:
褴褛的鬼雾衬肩
or
精致的碎裂先知衬肩
Cloak:
上古血月披风
or
石头守卫的刃缘披风
/
吉尔尼斯条纹披风
Chest:
破烂的鬼雾长袍
Legs:
破烂的鬼雾护腿
Rings:
第三舰队玺戒
and
海狼之戒
Trinkets:
敏锐的比斯巨兽之眼
and
虚空之触
Weapon:
高贵的院长之杖
Although Heirlooms themselves are not as valuable as they once were, the Heirloom mount,
代驾型摩托
, is still very valuable, as it is the only mount you can use until you can actually learn to mount at level 10. You can obtain this mount by completing the achievement
传家宝收藏家
.
Relics of the Past
Relics of the past are a new profession reagent added in Shadowlands. When crafting profession items and adding them to the craft, these items will have their item level and required level changed. All crafting professions can craft Relics of the Past, and these are the Relics of the Past that can be crafted:
故往神器 I
: Set the Item Level to 23 and the Required Level to 15.
故往神器 II
: Set the Item Level to 33 and the Required Level to 25.
故往神器 III
: Set the Item Level to 43 and the Required Level to 35.
故往神器 IV
: Set the Item Level to 56 and the Required Level to 45.
故往神器 V
: Set the Item Level to 100 and the Required Level to 50.
These are not very useful for leveling, as you should be outleveling items fairly quickly through your leveling experience in Shadowlands, but it can be a fun experience to level using items from the past.
Stat Weights while Leveling in Shadowlands
Stat Weights are usually not that important while leveling, as considering the nature of quest rewards, you will almost never be able to gather enough for a specific stat or keep a piece of gear for long enough for looking for stats to be a worthy endeavor.
In the case of leveling, a piece with higher item level than the one you have equipped will almost always be better, as pieces with higher item levels will always have more Intellect and Stamina.
Best Priest Leveling Professions in Shadowlands
Although there are many professions to choose from, some can give a Priest a bit of an edge. A good profession combo as a Priest is
裁缝
and
附魔
- Tailoring allows you to sew clothes you loot from mobs into equippable pieces of Cloth Armor, while Enchanting allows you to disenchant unwanted items - Including those made from Tailoring - into reagents used to enchant your armor pieces. Tailoring is especially important for Priests at maximum level, as you are able to craft the base pieces used for
Level 60 Legendary Armor
with the profession.
Another interesting profession set for Priests is
草药学
and
炼金术
, where you use the herbs collected from Herbalism and convert them into potions with Alchemy. As Priests have a lot of skills that exchange health, having a handful of healing potions is not a bad idea for any Priests out there.
If you're looking just to make money, you can pair Herbalism with one of the other gathering professions,
采矿
or
剥皮
. The previously mentioned Enchanting profession is also not bad to make money with, but you will not be able to generate as many reagents without a crafting profession.
Best Priest Questing Path in Shadowlands
In Shadowlands, players will go through a massive level squish, and with it, leveling paths are severely changed. The current level path for Shadowlands goes as follows:
Levels 1-10:
Your race's Starting Area or Exile's Reach
Levels 10-50:
Battle for Azeroth zones or other expansion zones via Chromie Time
Levels 50-60:
Shadowlands Storyline or Threads of Fate
Brand new characters are required to do Exile's Reach for levels 1-10 and Battle for Azeroth for levels 1-50.
There is no innate advantage to level in whatever zones you'd like at levels 1 through 50, the only advantage being you will leave Exile's Reach with a close to full set of Uncommon-quality armor. There are innate advantages to leveling in each expansion - Vanilla is more friendly for those who can't fly, Wrath of the Lich King is very linear, Warlords of Draenor has a lot of treasures and bonus objectives, Legion has access to powerful Artifact weapons, etc.
For levels 50-60, for your first time going through Shadowlands, you are forced to follow the order Bastion > Maldraxxus > Ardenweald > Revendreth, but for subsequent characters, you will be able to choose what zone order you want to go through.
For more information about the Shadowlands leveling changes and level squish, check our guide:
Shadowlands Leveling Changes & Level Squish
Threads of Fate Leveling
Threads of Fate is a new system added in the Shadowlands expansion. The Threads of Fate system allows you to level alts through completion of World Quests, Bonus Objectives, exploring the Shadowlands zones in a non-linear way. This system grants you an early start on Covenant progress and early access to bonuses such as Shadowlands reputations. For more information on the Threads of Fate system, check our guide!

Shadowlands Priest Leveling Gameplay Mechanics
Priests are an intellect based, cloth-wearing, ranged class, using many spellcasts to slowly drain enemies to death or to heal allies back up. Priests are masters of periodic damage and self healing, dealing damage while keeping themselves healthy.
Priests use two resources, Mana and Insanity. Mana is a slowly regenerating resource that fuels the Priest's abilities as Holy and Discipline, and utility spells as Shadow. Shadow Priests have access to Insanity, a quick-generating resource that can be used to fuel their most powerful periodic effect.
Using Mana and Insanity on Your Priest
法力值
is the universal resource for Priests. All Holy and Disc spells use mana in order to heal their allies, while Shadow uses mana in order to use their utility spells, like
驱散魔法
,
群体驱散
, and
. For Holy and Disc, different spells have different
法力值
costs, some are more efficient
法力值
-wise than others. Knowing when to use each spell is an essential part of being a healer.
狂乱值
on the, is only used by Shadow Priests.
狂乱值
is generated by most of Shadow's damage casts. In Shadowlands, Insanity is used as a resource to cast
噬灵疫病
, a Shadow Priest's most powerful periodic effect.
Holy/Disc Resources
Health Bar in Green and
法力值
in Blue
Shadow Resources
Health Bar in Green,
法力值
in Blue and
狂乱值
in Purple
Priest Utility
Priests signature utility comes in the shape of
群体驱散
and
心灵尖啸
, two strong Area-of-Effect spells, the former available to all specs, removing most debuffs from allies and buffs from enemies and the latter causes all nearby enemies to flee in fear from the Priest.
Besides those two signature spells, all specs have access to
束缚亡灵
,
漂浮术
, and
复活术
, to bring allies back to life, while Holy and Discipline have
群体复活
, being able to bring all nearby allies back to life, instead of only one. Priests are also able to dispel some negative effects, with Holy and Discipline having access to
纯净术
and having access to
净化疾病
.
漂浮术
should prevent any deaths purely from falling from cliffs, while spells like
束缚亡灵
