Damage over time, control and sustain. Consider wand use and Mana recovery during leveling and save crowd control for dangerous pulls.
Playstyle and priorities
Consider wand use and Mana recovery during leveling and save crowd control for dangerous pulls.
Healing, shields and wand usage offer different ways to reduce downtime. Your race may unlock distinct Priest-specific abilities.
Leveling 1–60: what to plan
Build around the abilities already unlocked at your current level. Keep your most important survival, control or recovery tools available and adjust your talent order for solo play versus coordinated dungeon runs. The full level-60 allocation can differ from an efficient leveling order.
