To activate Spirit Tap, you must deliver the killing blow to a mob. Spirit Tap will not function in dungeons if you are the healer, but you can experiment with it yourself.
I fucking hate Dwarf animations in classic it looks like they are hook shotting daintilly when they cast! HORRIBLE! Not mention that running gait! EWW.
I played in Vanilla undead priest. When I chose that it was just for the irony of being undead casting holy spells. From level 1 to 60, from dungeons to raiding and rank 14 High warlord pvp I never spect into shadow. Not once. I was a healer through and through. I used to see people going for rank 14 asking for a heal bot. I on the other hand, had my group of kill bots. I was nobodys heal bot. I had players that knew if I died, they died. When a hunter or warrior would focus on me, my kill bots stopped what they were doing and got them off my ass.
y, i have leveled 4 priests myself, been rank 12 Marshal, gladiator & done raiding. Even i still learned alot from this vid. Props to lezonta for being so knowledgable
53:25 You only need fear ward if you are going to be assign or the raids main tank healer or the off tank healer. For general group healing human healer is the bomb.

I’m warrior tank and the wife is priest heals and we duo level for quests while we aren’t running dungeons for the guild. It seems we’re getting a lot of exp from the dungeons early on at least which is cutting into finishing quest lines and such... which doesn’t really matter for those but it still feels good to actually finish what we can in a zone. I might just switch over to dungeons since it’s no wait for us.
@@countryboygsp1222 no it's pretty much correct... sure some values might be different from private servers. But if you're so sure his info isn't correct how about you make a correct video about it :).
leveld my priest to lvl 18 now heading on to wc - feeling great, i specced spirit tap first its a joke how you can spare so much water and be so efficient + with troll racial - now getting wand 5/5 and i'm hyped for SWP! healed rfc easy peasy with a lvl 13 tank with rank 1 Heal giving his whole hp bare back so this was my last resort button and little damage healed with lesser r2 and 3 for medium towards half HP dmg - and keep wanding +swp
What happened to traditional "i do quests, but also dungeons when possible" way of leveling?) In that situation i want to be able to solo mobs AND be some sort of reliable healer...
I'm a little confused here. You mentioned that private servers didn't factor in the 5-man bonus percentage and elites were generally harder, but how does that impact dungeon levelling being faster than question when classic releases in 12 days? If dungeon levelling back in Vanilla was slower than questing, what has changed now?
1.12 dungeon leveling was faster than traiditonal questing for some classes back in vanilla, but because of the lack of group coordination tools and overall knowledge that we have today, people didnt know it. Hope that helps!
Is there a +Healing lvling guide like when is +healing on gear useful and how much should we be looking to get based on each lvl zone and based on each lvl what rank healing spells should we be using considering base stats don't effect healing.
I'm disappointed that he didn't even address the discussion about wand-spirit tap order, or going for shadow weaving before 40. I'm with him on weaving but prio 3/5 spirit tap
Tips can you please make a “Juggling WoW with RL” video, where we see a day in your life, and how you keep healthy and on top of things while having so much time to passionately invest into WoW? Would be so awesome
I watched this live on twitch, and it actually made me try a priest in the stress test. Becuase of that im now rolling priest as a main lol (for the horde btw)
I'm glad you corrected him on designer's pantaloons, they were an upgrade they used to be pure stats but they'll be available in p1, and as blizzard keeps stating, all items will be in 1.12 states, hence +40 healing.
You earnt a sub from me, and also one of the first people i've ever clicked the bell icon. Shit loads of effort has gone into this, Great personality. Good luck going into the future.
Now that I've played Retail, then a little bit of private, then Classic and now back to private, the community and overall enjoyment is much better on private.
I'm just a noob, but when Lezonta dismisses the Lightwell for Warlock group, he argues that it would decrease the DPS of warlock (sine they would have to move to the lightwell - they wouldn't be castic spells), but isn't the whole point of lightwell for warlocks to increase the DPS? I'm mean ok, they have to move, but in return they can spam life tap to get mana so they can spam more nukes. What am I missing?
1:18:00 Spirit of Redemption is super good. If you are oom, just ask for SS then die. Heal for the duration, then ress. Chug a pot and Rune if they are off cd now, then die again when/if you go oom.
Why more than 3 points in Shadow focus? In Kargoz' priest leveling guide he mentions that "6% into shadow focus is gonna cap you out against mobs that are two levels higher than you"
@@Breadman-k6dI feel like Kargoz knows more about talent-theorycrafting than this guy. Lezon also seemed to forget his own rule to get the spirit buff with the 20/31/0 build.
Maybe I was just to dumb to know any better, I level 1 to 60 pugging Dungeons as a Holly/Dis Priest during Vanilla. I new the Meta was that most level as Shadow but left most having to learn how to group heal Dungeons and Raids after 60. So was kind of surprised to here Dungeons Leveling talked about as this new thing. My Plan is quest for specific Items and spend most of my time leveling/Farming Dungeons for good loot gear. 9:04 So, kind of interested to here thoughts on Dungeon leveling.
Why choose dwarf for Ally? Can you please give more details? I saw only stone form for Pri but as human you can get spirit bonus as well. I'm planning to play as Human for PVE.
Because in Vanilla each eligible race had their own priest spell and Dwarves had Fear Ward which was the best out of all of the spells. Buffing a party or raid member to become immune to fear is really good in PvE and in PvP. That's why they are the top pick for both PvE and PvP. Humans are second best and then Night Elves.
Only played a priest to about level 32 during early vanilla. Though a friend did have a level 60 shadow priest with decent gear. I would actually pvp with his shadow priest once in a while and did rather well.
Shadowguard procs blackout and it also causes pushback on cast which in itself its crazy. I've always made undead priest but I'm gonna roll a troll this time around if I play horde
Not only that, but troll recial is great in dungeons also; when ever the tank pulls i dot all the mobs with rank 1 shadow ward pain and watch as they get 3-5 second stunned. you are essentially mitigating damage to the tank with the troll racial as a healer.
Actually yes, no one has covered it specifically but depending on your profession you could profit a lot as well as the rare drops that do occur. They cover it near the end of the video but don't go in great depth
Im the shadow priest for my guild, when im not doing raids or pvp im farming Demonic runes. You can always find me in Felwood or Azshara. :D Thanks for the tips Lezonta.
I've been advocating Troll Priest over UD for a long time, ppl think WotFS is so godly and DP is OP but both are overrated. 1. Alliance have fewer PvP Warlocks, always has been this way. 2. Alliance has fewer Priests as healers or Spriest in PvP, because of Paladins. As a horde PvPer, you get feared much less frequently than you expect, particularly in group pvp (Shaman Tremor). DP can be removed by Paladins, Priests and Jungle Remedy (super cheap on AH or farm from lvl 30 mob in STV), and importantly, by Dwarf Stoneform. There's going to be a lot more Dwarf Warriors, Rogue, Paladins and Priest this time around because ppl realize how strong Dwarf racials are. Finally, Shadowguard scales 100% spell dmg like Lightning Shield. With +500 spell dmg, it starts to hit like a truck each proc, and ofc, shadowing weaving, blackout and vampiric embrace triggers too. Works against spell casters, and knocks back their spell casts when it procs. Cheap to cast, no cooldown (important!). Hex is very useful in group pvp on multi targets since Paladins and Priests can't remove it.
They are both good. Just be thankful horde has two solid choices, where as alliance needs to deal with one clearly better choice that nobody wants to roll.
on pservers, priest where easie capable of diremaul east lasher farming with holynova and making some decent gold/h. no idea if this is the case in official. just google dme priest lasher farming.

Thank you man!!!
Can someone tell me which one of those or link me a guide to a priest build that is useful for running SM spellcleave groups please !
This guy is amazing. He is so comfortable talking about every aspect of priest playstyles.
To activate Spirit Tap, you must deliver the killing blow to a mob. Spirit Tap will not function in dungeons if you are the healer, but you can experiment with it yourself.
When you get more experience you’ll understand how to get it and when you need it.
When mobs are dying try to snipe it with your wand. Its normally pretty easy since people change target when the add is about to die.
Lmao when he said, “The problem with Night Elf Priest is it’s not Dwarf.” Best quote of the interview!
I fucking hate Dwarf animations in classic it looks like they are hook shotting daintilly when they cast! HORRIBLE! Not mention that running gait! EWW.
Shadowmeld NE Shadowpriest has a lot of power in classic.
I played in Vanilla undead priest.
When I chose that it was just for the irony of being undead casting holy spells.
From level 1 to 60, from dungeons to raiding and rank 14 High warlord pvp I never spect into shadow. Not once.
I was a healer through and through.
I used to see people going for rank 14 asking for a heal bot. I on the other hand, had my group of kill bots. I was nobodys heal bot. I had players that knew if I died, they died. When a hunter or warrior would focus on me, my kill bots stopped what they were doing and got them off my ass.
I come back to this video all the time, really comprehensive talk!
This interview was ridiculously informative for a returning player thank you
y, i have leveled 4 priests myself, been rank 12 Marshal, gladiator & done raiding. Even i still learned alot from this vid. Props to lezonta for being so knowledgable
Lezonta is such a sweet dude, really solidifies my choice to play priest :3
how about troll vs dwarf tho? for shadow priest I mean in pve + pvp
I really wanted to hear more about Priest dungeon leveling.

What happened to traditional "i do quests, but also dungeons when possible" way of leveling?) In that situation i want to be able to solo mobs AND be some sort of reliable healer...
go smite spec b4 lvl 40 - it is a fair trade to do both, after 40 you can go shadow or develop holy talents (harder leveling, easier healing in 5 man)

Playing night elf because of the nostalgia of what I did when I originally played haha
at level 40, you need to time 2 things:
a. get to undercity, get your mount
boom, UDs are the best :P

i noticed that night elves are the most relaxed players. very chill except for druids ig
Where is that pvp deep dive? Couldnt find it somehow
This video is why I went priest in classic. Still playing priest in classic WOTLK, although it’s an alt.
Much better than the shaman guide
yesh the shaman one was crap the guy telling the information had no idea what he was talking about and didnt pay attention half the time
Great video Tips and Lezonta. Could we get some gear planner links in the description? Seems like many other pre-bis lists are outdated.

What a great video. My fav part was the gun show Tips treated us to on his Twitter page.
I think Hydramist makes more sense on the leveling stuff but still nice to have different opinions of course.
is there an updated pre raid list somewhere for example the shoulder slot has better options also that are not boe and cost alot
Wheres the link to the pre-raid-bis? Thanks
What talent spec is best for dungeon lvling?
Isn't dungeon lvling very bad gold wise? Would you be able to even afford your mount at 40 if you do this meta?
Or have any meaningful gold at 60?
Actually yes, no one has covered it specifically but depending on your profession you could profit a lot as well as the rare drops that do occur. They cover it near the end of the video but don't go in great depth
if you power level to 60 through dungeons you will have other ways to make money in zones most people cant go to yet.
i really enjoy all your deep-dive!
Any shot we could get some tips on the 5 man leveling group. I know there are videos but it can’t be as easy as it sounds
