If you often lead parties, particularly instance groups, some experience in knowing how to play the priest class can be extremely helpful. Among newer players, however, this class is often enormously undervalued relative to their importance within a group. In a group, a Priest will generally be expected to fill a healer role, or act as a back-up healer if things go wrong. They will also be expected to buff and dispel others. If you're considering playing a priest, you'll want to ask yourself a few questions first: * Do I mind generally (and often being expected to without even being asked) taking the healer role in a group? * Do I mind playing a class which requires me to learn both damaging abilities and group tactics with healing abilities? * If I'm going to do PvP, am I comfortable with the pressure of frequently being the primary target? * Can I think quickly, and handle a large number of very different abilities in the process of getting my job done? * Do I mind the pressure of being the most indispensable member of a group? * Do I like to melt faces? Being a priest has a number of advantages, including your immense popularity when setting up a group (this could also be the peak of your popularity, by the way, as if the group wipes you may get the blame), and a lot of respect from experienced players if you play your character well. At higher levels, priests can become enormously powerful. A Shadow spec priest with Vampiric Embrace and Vampiric Touch is able to passively regain health and mana for his entire party while he himself deals a lot of damage, making the class an incredibly valuable to any group, while a Holy or Discipline spec priest is an astonishingly powerful healer. Even at early levels, the priest gets abilities like Power Word: Shield and Power Word: Fortitude and become able to resurrect other characters.
