Priests lead the many faiths spread throughout the disparate lands of the world of Azeroth. In Kalimdor, Night Elf Priestesses revere the moon goddess Elune, while Dwarven priests in Khaz Modan deliver the message of the Light to their people. In the ruins of Lordaeron, the undead priests of the Forsaken, their faith twisted and tainted by their tortured existences, spread a dark interpretation of the Holy Light. Regardless of their faith, however, all Priests share in their ability to manipulate the minds of those who turn to them for spiritual guidance.
Priests are the forerunner in World of Warcraft when it comes to healing and buffing. In addition, they can use either Holy or Shadow Magic to affect the minds of their opponents with spells such as Psychic Scream, which will cause enemies to flee, Mind Soothe, which reduces the range at which the target will attack, and Mind Control, which allows the Priest to control a humanoid enemy. Priests will also be able to use "Words" which are instant cast spells. Shadow Magic and Holy Magic also provide various buffs and damage spells. Priests also have some very powerful heals and get the ability to resurrect players at higher levels. The only downside at present is the fact that they wear cloth armor.
Holy Magic |
Holy Magic is primarily used for healing and to increase characteristics like endurance and casting power, but also includes a damaging spell line. The Priest can use Holy Words, such as Shield, which absorbs damage to the target, and Fortitude, which increases stamina. Lesser Heal, Heal, Flash Heal, Prayer of Healing, Greater Heal, and Renew are all used for healing the Priest or his or her allies. The Priest also can cast buffs like Inner Fire, which increases attack power, and Holy Protection, which increases resistance to Holy spells. Holy Smite can be used to deal Holy damage to an enemy. Other miscellaneous spells include Resurrection, which brings players back form the dead, Nullify Disease, which cures disease and gives immunity, Shackle Undead, which shackles one undead opponent at a time, and Dispell Magic, which removes harmful spells from an ally or beneficial spells from an enemy.

Shadow Magic |
Shadow Magic is used mainly for offense. Spells like Mind Blast and Shadow Word: Pain, can be used to cause damage to an opponent. Mind Soothe, Fade, and Brainwash alter an enemy's threat level or attack distance, reducing the chance that it will attack the Priest. Other offensive spells include Psychic Scream, which causes enemies to flee, and Mana Burn, which causes damage and drains mana from an enemy. Shadow Magic also includes a buff, Shadow Protection, which increases resistance to Shadow Spells. Finally, a utility spell called Mind Vision allows the Priest to see through the eyes of his or her target. |
