This guide to leveling the Priest in Dragonflight will provide a basic look at leveling your Priest in Dragonflight, including reviews and ratings of the dominant specializations, links to leveling talent builds, tips for best and fastest leveling, gear, leveling professions, and links to class guides you'll need to make the best decisions going forward.
We will also include Pre-Patch information for the period leading up to November 28th, 2022, when Dragonflight launches and you'll move your leveling to the Dragon Isles.
Leveling Priests in Dragonflight
Healing Priests are in high demand for dungeon groups and raids, both for their healing and added utility. Many people who choose to level as Priests create at least a secondary spec as a Healer to get into dungeon groups faster, although Shadow Priests are welcome to join as DPS. It's just that there is far more competition for DPS slots, since DPS classes/specs far outnumber Tanks and Healers.
Priests were opened up to all races except Dracthyr with Dragonflight Patch 10.0. This adds Priest as an option to Orcs and Highmountain Tauren, which did not previously have these as an option.
Strengths and Weaknesses of Priest Leveling in Dragonflight
Priests have one Class tree that applies to all Priests, and three Specialization trees for Discipline, Holy, and Shadow. Discipline and Holy are both healer specs, although Discipline combines more proactive healing with damage output as part of its toolkit. Shadow is a DPS spec relying on a unique spender called Insanity.
Priest is not a beginner-friendly class, mostly due to fairly complex rotations that can be unforgiving of mistakes. Priests in general are hampered by low mobility and the attendant problems with active kiting.

Priest Leveling Specs in Dragonflight
While you can level successfully as any class, some talent builds are more friendly to leveling than others. If you're planning to level in a group, what talent spec you pick will matter less, as there are more players to fill in for weaknesses. These recommendations are our class writers' picks for most efficient leveling builds in all types of play.
Best Leveling Spec for Priests
Even with some nerfs to multi-dotting in Dragonflight,
Shadow
remains the preferred leveling spec for Priests. It's not the safest build due to a lack of defense mechanics and fewer self-heals, but the damage output is great and it's still quite a bit faster than the other two Priest specs. Beginners may find the complex rotation and the need to manage Insanity a challenge.
Both Discipline and Holy can be decent leveling specs, although Discipline has more damage tools at its disposal and is a faster leveling build. Both have the advantage of being able to flex into dungeon healing, where healers will have less trouble finding groups than the more numerous DPS classes. Keep in mind that dungeon queues may not be quite as quick, especially early on in the Dragonflight expansion; the addition of the Preservation Evoker class will claim some of those spots, at least until the novelty wears off.
Our class writers have put together comprehensive leveling guides that cover viability, tips, builds, leveling rotation, cooldowns, and leveling consumables. A brief summary of each follows:
Leveling Discipline Priests
Traditionally, healers are poor levelers, but Discipline's focus on healing through dealing damage makes them the exception to this rule. Discipline doesn't do as much damage as the Shadow Priest but has far better self-healing ability and survivability. It also doesn't do as much single-target damage as Holy, but they are better equipped for handling groups of mobs. Since your damage heals you and allies in the process, it's actually a very viable spec for leveling.

Leveling Holy Priests
Holy Priests are not fantastic levelers, but it's a doable spec with a decent mix of damage and survivability. This will be slow compared to the other Priest specs. They still fare better than Healers in other classes, but it's probably better to level Shadow or even Discipline unless you plan to group for much of your leveling time.
Holy Priest Leveling Guide in Dragonflight
Leveling Shadow Priests
While Shadow is the recommended leveling spec, it is not as fast as other classes and not for the faint of heart. The big damage comes with some risk; Shadow has decent self-healing but not as strong as the dedicated healing. They do better taking out small groups of 1-3 rather than doing the big AoE pulls without help of a couple longer-cooldown abilities.

Best Leveling Talent Builds for Priests in Dragonflight
If you know what Priest spec you want, but just want to get straight into making your leveling build, look no further. You can find the direct links to the Best Leveling Talent Builds for Discipline, Holy, and Shadow Priests here.
How to Export and Import Talent Builds
To
export
a build from Wowhead, go to the provided tree and click
Export Talents
in the upper right corner of the talent build. This will copy the appropriate string to your clipboard. If you want to save that talent string to import later, you can copy it to a text editor such as Windows Notepad or Apple's TextEdit.
To
import
a build into your character, open your character's Specialization and Talents window (N). In the bottom left corner over the tabs, select the dropdown and select
Import
. (Starter Build is provided for you by Blizzard, but it's not optimized for a particular activity).
Copy that long string from your Export in the Import Text window, name your loadout, and click save. (A loadout is a set of pre-selected abilities where you can save a set of abilities and talents. This lets you switch specs on the fly for different roles or different purposes, such as raiding, dungeons, or even low-level transmog farming. It's up to you!).
As a bonus, creating loadouts also saves any Action Bar setups you have for that spec, so you can set it up the way you like and return to that configuration when you switch specs.

Best Leveling Gear for Priests in Dragonflight
Priests can equip the following gear:
Armor Type:
Cloth
Usable Weapons:
Daggers, One-Handed Maces, Staves, Wands
Priest weapons are really stat sticks; you don't actually use them to strike anything, except at the very lowest levels as a desperation move (or occasional amusement). Weapon DPS does not matter one tiny bit, since it contributes nothing to your overall damage. You are looking only for the main stat (Intellect) and secondary stats, nothing more. Daggers and Maces frequently do not have Intellect, so look at them carefully before equipping. Staves generally do, but some are specced for melee combat, so don't automatically choose a Staff without looking first. Enchants that only proc on melee hits are useless to you. While Wands can be semi-useful at the very lowest levels (below level 25 or so) for shooting enemies, it's only a desperation move that you rarely need to resort to anymore. Pick weapons only for stats, period.
Priests can use an Offhand for extra stats with a one-handed weapons, but cannot use Shields.
Much of the time while you're leveling, you'll be gathering and upgrading gear as you go. You usually do this with a mix of quest drops, dungeon drops, and profession crafted gear.
Gear iLevels for Dragonflight
In Dragonflight, your first gear from quests will be Uncommon items between iLevels 202 and 226. This means if you have geared up using catch-up mechanics from Pre-Patch and/or through raid and Mythic+ in Shadowlands, it might be several levels before you start replacing gear. For example, at level 65, you can get Uncommon quest items, drops, and quality crafted gear at around iLevel 289; this should give you an idea of the approximate level range at which you'll replace gear. All quest and dropped gear items can also upgrade randomly to either Rare or Epic quality, and some crafted gear can be created with higher quality as well.
Although you can start leveling in Dragonflight with an iLevel as low as 150, we recommend a minimum iLevel of 180, which is realistic and easy to get with little to no extra effort.
You can get into a good iLevel range with a combination of dropped gear in 10-60 zones, heirlooms, and crafted gear from the Auction House. You will want a higher iLevel if you wish to start early with dungeon leveling.
Best Leveling Professions for Priests in Dragonflight
Most veteran players will have established professions and will wish to level these in Dragonflight. However, bear in mind that while professions are much deeper and richer in Dragonflight than they've been in past expansions, they are also more complicated, requiring a greater investment in time and effort to develop.
Players can have a maximum of two professions. All players can pick up the secondary skills
烹饪
and
钓鱼
.
First Aid
was removed as a separate skill in Battle for Azeroth and is now part of the
裁缝
profession.
For manufacturing professions, Priests often choose
裁缝
to make armor for themselves and to sell through the Auction House and Crafting Orders. This is commonly paired with
附魔
, rather than a gathering skill, since you can disenchant unwanted Tailored items for materials. Again, it's probably best to concentrate on leveling these once you've reached maximum level.
For players who don't have professions, we strongly recommend picking up two Gathering professions. At higher levels of Knowledge and Specializations in Dragonflight, you will also gain benefits.
Both
采矿
and
草药学
still provide small amounts of experience for gathering nodes.

specialization, you get a bonus for your knowledge of anatomy to increase your damage against beasts and dragonkin while outdoors in the Dragon Isles.
草药学
- When you learn the

specialization, you learn to Overload Elemental herbs (Windswept, Frigid, Titan-Touched, and Decayed), which allows you to channel energy into elementally-charged herbs for unique bonuses and effects. You must invest many points both into Mastering the Elements and into the four elemental herb types to get full effects.
