i want a shadow priest

Lucky you. Everyone else has to kite the monsters or use PW:S to get the full effect of mind flay. Also note that it doesn't get interrupted, just the time remaining gets reduced.

Im aware of that, I've just never had a problem with it I guess. I still believe intel is better than spirit if you are shadow. I got stam and intel on my priest and he was able to level quickly, and survive pvp situations with ease. Maybe its just me but I would rather have the stamina to survive a long fight rather than have the spirit to regen mana while im already casting. Of course I was also alchy so I would pop potions constantly =/ I guess it really just depends on the play style.

I'd rather play an easier class, but thats just me.

The plus side of playing a priest is that it's easy to get into instance groups. Pretty much, the easier it is for a character to solo, the higher the chance that you're not needed...

Definitely make sure you enjoy healing, and try it in a Raid environment before fully committing yourself to your Priest is my only advice.

I levelled a Priest to help with our guild progression at one point, and got stuck with it for a year until I could feasibly switch from it to something I enjoyed.


As a Shadow Priest, you may not go the raiding route, but there's only so far you can currently go without a Raid guild. Hopefully, the Burning Crusade will give some more options than just strictly grinding raid content in roles that people may not necessarily enjoy.

Oh, definately. If you're not the healer type, then Priest or Druid isn't the class for you, but don't go rogue or hunter unless you just can't stand the other classes. In my guild, mages and warlocks seemed to always be in pretty short supply, though that may not happen universally; I know that guilds are full on rogues and hunters, though, because even PUG UBRS raids get broadcast as "LFM UBRS, full on hunters and rogues" . . .

It's Warriors on our server. Warriors and Rogues, but Hunters aren't really in short supply. We've got an asston of Mages in our guild, but I don't think that's very common Hordeside...

Warlocks aren't too common, though. Whatever you pick, I would recommend really reading up on it to maximize your performance. That's what guilds look for, is talent and ability to follow directions.

Priest 4tw. I just cant seem to play anything else. I find healing the most exciting thing for me right now. Then again im also class leader so maybe its because I get to yell at people.. Well anyway, hunters and rogues are usually the most common because.. Well everyones loves rogues... And hunters are the fastest levelers IMO. Also you can just autoshoot and go afk on a hunter and still be doing a nice ammount of damage... But I wouldnt recomend that.
