World of Warcraft - Priest

Priests are devoted to the spiritual, and express their unwavering faith by serving the people. For millennia they have left behind the confines of their temples and the comfort of their shrines so they can support their allies in war-torn lands. In the midst of terrible conflict, no hero questions the value of the priestly orders.

These masters of the healing arts keep their companions fighting far beyond their normal capacities with an array of restorative powers and blessings. The divine forces at the priest’s command can also be turned against foes, smiting them with holy fury.

As light cannot exist without darkness, and darkness without light, some priests tap into shadow to better understand their own abilities, as well as the abilities of those who threaten them.

PRIEST INFORMATION

Priests use powerful healing magic to fortify themselves and their allies. They also wield powerful offensive spells from a distance, but can be overwhelmed by enemies due to their physical frailty and minimal armor. Experienced priests carefully balance the use of their offensive powers when tasked with keeping their party alive.

  • TYPE: Healer, Ranged Magic Damage Dealer

  • STANDARD BARS: Health, Mana

  • AVAILABLE ARMOR: Cloth

  • AVAILABLE WEAPONS: Daggers, One-Handed Maces, Staves, Wands

PRIEST FEATURES

HEALING

Priests utilize their holy powers to restore their health and that of their comrades.

RANGED DAMAGE

Priestly Shadow magic can deliver great amounts of immediate damage, or wracking pains that punish foes over longer periods of time.

POWER WORDS

By calling on mystic shielding and holy empowerment, priests can prevent incoming damage and improve their defenses and those of their allies.

MIND CONTROL

Priests’ connection with the minds and spirits of living beings allows them to control and manipulate others.

PRIEST TALENTS

Priest talents can strengthen their ability to heal the wounded, endanger their foes with the power of Shadow, or empower themselves and others with protective prayers.
