I find Priests to be fun, all three specs actually. In WoD, Shadow's gonna be an insane-reaper-of-death-and-other-shadow-pewpew-madness

@OP, Priests are fun. The class has a large toolkit for healing, and a very decent DPS spec - if you like playing a DoT class, that is; though in WoD there is gonna be the option for a more instant cast/on the move spec; which i really really enjoyed in the Beta

But if you're not gonna heal on your Priest, i'd look into other classes - since you'd be missing out on 2/3 of the class!

Priests fall into the category of flashy gratifying classes along with Paladin, Mage, Warlock and DK. The class may not be for you because of mechanics, but your spells look cool, the toolkits are broad and your armor looks cool. I love to heal and melee dps so I will be dual maining Priest and DK. Basically exact opposites. If they remake Blood Elves soon enough my priest will be Blood elf, right now its tauren (tauren look cool even if cloth isn't meant for them).

I main a priest (seeing this is a priest forum), but I only do that because my raid leader wanted me to go priest. I have always had all healers at 90 and played with all of them. Each have their own charm. It's fun to shield ppl and prevent deaths, it's fun to see your Prayers of Healing upping the heath bars, it's fun using Healing Rain & Chain heal and basking in the randomness of the graphic, it's fun playing paladin and getting hyped by the spell names, it's fun weaving mists, it's fun seeing numbers everywhere and feel that you are healing as efficiently as possible as a druid.

I've never been able to pick a favourite healer, but that may be because I like all healers and all kinds of healing. I can't remember disliking ANY kind of healing in ANY game I've played and I've played a lot of them. With that said, I feel like if you closed your eyes and picked a random healing spec in WoW, you would never be disappointed from your result.

DPSing with a high ilvl and AS is the most fun I have ever had playing shadow. If they don't nerf it, high ilvl AS is easily going to be one of the highest skill caps this game has ever seen on a multi dot fight. I'm so pumped for warlords.

You have a good point but.... What are you doing here??? Go play more Overwatch!!!

Priest is very fun. They took away alot of our flexibility (hello dispell removing 2 buffs/debuffs, and manaburn), but even without these things you have alot of nice things to offer to a group. Shields and heals from both healing specs are very potent, pulling people out of danger is an often very underrated spell, which can save ppl in pvp and prevent possible wipes in pve when someone messed up.

Shadow is a very interesting spec ever since vanilla wow. It has always been a bit of the red headed stepchild, but the flexibility to use very quick casts to dps or support your team with some off healing shouldnt be underestimated. Especially now with WoD it could turn out to be one of the better classes in pvp once again, due to the increased mobility you will gain from clarity of power, which has been the thing that was lacking the most on the spec. And even right now you can surprise most people in battleground play when you drop them from 100-0 in less than 10 seconds with mindspikes and instant mindblasts that hit like a truck when mastery stacked, and all that with not much of a rotation to look after. My only fear right now for the future of SP is that some people in the pve camp will complain ALOT about clarity of power and probably also about "having to spam mindspike" and not having an overly complex rotation when using that playstyle, thus Blizzard changing it into some bandaid trash again, that will probably pull decent numbers in pve by pushing button xyz in the right order, but turn it to shit for pvp

You will find very few people that hated Cataclysm's Mind Spike rotation as much as I did. CoP is not entirely like it. I actually ended up liking both Dotweave and CoP lite, and I really don't expect we'll end up being forced to play dotless CoP at all.

Yeah thats true, it will be an option. But if it turns out to become very strong and maybe at some point the go-to style. People might start to complain, I just hope that this wont happen, because I like having options, but you know how easily it can go to "oh no, I am now FORCED to play this and that style because it deals 0,01% more damage on damage parsing tools!". And fools like that usually are the first to cry on the forums that they want it changed.

Have to do something while waiting in line!

Depends entirely on the encounter, all classes and specs have been cut down much too much for my tastes.

I adore the priest class. Specifically Shadow and Holy.
