WOTLK Classic: Priest Leveling Guide (Talents, Tips & Tricks, Rotation, Gear)

all right guys so welcome to another video going to give you my wrath of the lich king priest leveling guide this is going to be relevant for people doing the low-level content on fresh servers but also people jumping straight into northrend he's going to be short and sweet like a rogue video guys because the pre-patch is literally coming out in 15 hours as i'm making this video this has been like a three month long project to get all these leveling guides off every single class in the game ready for the raffle king pre-patch well fortunately you know irl stuff gets in a way but nonetheless i'm going to give you all the essential information that you need to know just in a shorter space of time and much more snappier with less power pointy cool stuff so we're going to cover the most important topics as always first of all the best leveling talents we'll cover your play style what you're gonna do on your day to day how to be most mana efficient how to keep yourself alive and how to just kill enemies extremely efficiently and fast then i'll give you some sneaky cheeky tips and tricks to speed up your leveling and lastly we've got weapon progression what i mean by that obviously when it comes to the priest is its caster weapon one hands and staves and also your ones you don't really use the wand as much like you did in tbc and classic anymore because you are free to use your abilities more now in rough of the lich king although to be honest early level you still use your one from time to time so it is important to keep everything like that upgraded now i have actually made a huge weapon progression list for every single spec in the game for fresh servers you want to check that out or subscribe to the channel go to my channel page in the description of that video you get all your sub free content which obviously includes the weapon progression list so let's jump in straight away with talents and explain why i like to go for these talents by first of all explaining what is the play style like very briefly honestly guys most of the time you can just run around dot everything up and keep on running exactly like you play the affliction warlock but it's definitely nowhere near as good as the affliction warlock because it's very mana hungry normally you just don't as many mobs as you can until your mana runs out you keep running around until the dots finish them off and they go bob's your uncle so you know we don't really care about increasing the crit chance on abilities like mind blast mind flay shadow word death because we just barely use them we also don't care about reducing the cooldown on mind blast because you can just never use it to be honest i mean you will use it from time to time when you're taking on a single enemy obviously if you're pushing your efficiency to its maximum potential you're going to be taking on multiple enemies at once and you can do this pretty much as soon as you unlock vampiric touch until you unlock vampiric touch you are much more single target focus which means yeah fair enough you may want to go for talents like improve mind blast and shadow power instead but when you get vampiric touch you want to definitely respec to just favor the dot and run the play style spirit tap and improve spirit type are definitely mandatory over very very good at increasing your mana efficiency by continuing yourself to allow your mana regeneration to continue to regenerate while you're casting that's very complicated but basically long story short it's more mana have a point when you get improved vampiric embrace that's when you pretty much become just immortal the amount of healing you get with that combined with devouring plague is just immense you never have to break shuttle form to cast a renewal anything like that because you just heal so much when you get this cheeky glitter power chill you get 20 percent of the absorption effect as a heal too at the point where you do get to our own playground shadow form that is when you can probably take on two enemies at once because you're gonna devour and play one target with shadow word pain eventually pain and mind flare the other one but yeah when you give vampiric touch that's when you just run around and do everything and you're fine i also like the utility of having silent sounds as a very very useful ability while leveling up and so his psychic horror of the extra cc is also going to be really good on pvp servers and when you spec down into meditation at around about level 73 you're going to unlock this so this is when you jump into northrend when you get that 50 extra mana regeneration continued while casting when it stacks with spirit type and everything like that that is when especially if you've got spirit gear i would recommend by the way when you are leveling to try and get decent spirit and spell power gear combined that's the best way to go in my opinion especially as with the twisted fave talent a portion of your spirit is converted into spell power so it's not exactly a loss when you stack spirit over a bigger spell power piece that's when not only is your health basically nothing to worry about but then your mana is also nothing to worry about although to be fair because of a nature have a spruce works you will still run out a man and have to drink pretty much all the way up to level 80 so always stock up on your water when it comes to glyphs in the pre-patch you can't get really good glyphs to be honest so really you're going to get glitter shadow where pain one percent of your mana back whenever it dot you know ticks and then glitter powered show is also quite nice because it will heal you for twenty percent of your absorption amount video if you're leveling in raffle lich king later in its lifetime after the pre-patch you definitely want glyph of shadow this is very very good your crits have a chance to increase your spell power 30 of your spirit for 10 seconds you can get that level 20 so that's quite nice so let me go through all the different play styles depending on what level you are so when you're very low level up until level 21 when you unlock mindfully what you're gonna do it's quite simple you shadow word pain squeeze in a mind blast with a target to get us into combat of you you should also have a power shield on the target and then you just want and that's it and this is an extremely mana efficient way to play early game because my mana has started fully regenerating round about now because i'm front loading all my damage you can squeeze another mind blast if you want but i prefer to just let the one take on the enemy take down your enemy your power word shield will prevent you from taking too much damage and you shouldn't have had that much down time as you can see there i've got spirit tap ticking away giving me low dildo mana back between all of my pulls now when you do unlock mine flightcheck changes just a little bit you know you pull shadow word pain then mindfully because what mindfully does it does actually slope a target so you want to do that squeezing a mind blast and you probably do you can probably mindfully to be honest until the target is dead but if your power shield drops off it probably won't go you the tiger will probably just get absolutely owned then you get your spirit tap it's a bit more manner intensive but you kill the mobs faster so it works out fine then when you get divine plague you can start to pull more than one enemy so you know shadow word pain of iron plague on the first target i'm going to pull the next target and mine fly it remember to keep your power word shield up obviously squeezing a mine blast and your dot should finish off the first enemy and you'll be able to just face tank him down and then when your powered shield obviously falls off you start wanding because you don't want your castings you know affected by that until you get the shadow form talent here the improved shadow form talent then you can start hard casting where mobs are attacking you but until then you're very off just wondering when mobs are attacking you then when you unlock vampire touch it becomes much easier now i'm going to show you a big pull this is what you kind of kind of only can do when you've got a good amount of spell power but you know when you get vampiric touch you can easily pull three to four enemies at ease you just gotta practice it a little bit so the only issue is you do have to hardcast a vampiric touch i'm not gonna lie you can't run around like the affliction warlock but it's not a massively huge issue these mobs are unfortunately undead which makes it a bit more difficult because uh what you can obviously do is put mobs in a fear too which helps but uh i shouldn't uh be really at any risk here we'll we'll soon find out anyway i'm going to power shield and i'm going to reapply it there and as you can see like my health is not dropping at all i can carry on doing this basically until around i've basically run out of mana now so you know when you run out of mana malware it's a good tongue twister that and that's when you can stop and kind of like start doing mindfully and start wanding and these mobs should be able to okay one of them survived but you know i can shut the word death it and you know finish it off bob's your uncle so i killed like you know about five mobs there at absolute ease health didn't drop that much you know when you're recording you obviously don't play as well when you're not recording and yeah as you can see it's an absolute doddle once you unlock vampiric touch vampiric shadow word death is definitely enough to take an enemy down so you can just run around dial up and well i don't say it enough really do i bob's your uncle fanny's your aunt now let's cover some little tricks that i can give you you know first of all when it comes to using psychic scream you know you can use it to reduce a lot of damage on you like i'm gonna use it now these mobs will run away and i'm safe from those mobs very good on neutral mobs by the way because obviously they're not gonna pull any more mobs so yeah you psych extreme where it's safe to do so we're not gonna pull any more mobs if you need mana remember your shadow fiend as well keep it on a high level target it will automatically start attacking new targets but it always be better to just like have it automatically on a target with a lot of health so it's going to return a lot of mana to you if you're wondering what leveling guide i have on the screen right now this is rested xp definitely the best leveling guide that you can get right now is made by the best speed levellers in the game and obviously it is totally updated for rough of lich king you'll find a link to that in description it massively helps the channel another thing you can do obviously is prepare 25 quests now i've got a video for people who have already been playing tbc and have a lot of quests already completed because mostly focused on daily quests so absolutely everyone can do that guide and get you just under 400k xp straight away in the space of about 20 minutes and alternatively i've got a really big behemoth guide which is more tailored for people putting on fresh servers who have a totally fresh character or people boosting a character and you can get 1.7 million experience points that's basically an entire level straight away level 71 in under an hour before you jump into northrend but you can find those videos on my channel i will put in the description of this video if i haven't remembered then obviously do remind me in the comments section apart from this guys you know obviously fully consume up get your spell power consumes get spell power food your weapon oils are still useful if you're using them on tbc weapons and around about level 77 from quetta awards then they'll stop working on those items but yeah they are still useful up until then if you've got a really good somewhere weapon obviously you can just keep that weapon all the way up to a level 80. so you know bob's your uncle on that one anyway guys that's going to be ended here the end of the video there my name is matt goblin until my next video ciao [Music] you
