Deli's priest guide (3 videos)

    Hey guys,
    I wanted to make a special tread for this so beginner priests can find this guide easier,
    but you can still find my usual instances guides on my other tread:
    Deli's video guides



    I have to say right away that Im not an expert or MissKnowItAll, but I got few requests on my videos to make an updated priest guide, since most of them are 2 or even 3 years old, so... I wanted to give it a try! Please keep in mind that this is my own way of playing a priest, but it works for me so I wanted to share it.
    When I first started to make a first part I was like.. oh sht, this gonna last for an hour, and I hate my guides to be long and boring, so I split them into 3 parts.
    I also wrote subtitles for them since my English skills + bad microphone aren't the best combination, so click on CC button if you have troubles understanding me.


    First part is about priest skills, and my own way of using them:



    Second part is about glyphs, stats on the gear and consumables:



    Third part is about priest gameplay, and what to do when things go wrong:



    I hope this gonna help someone out, if you are just starting to play this amazing class. Just dont be discouraged if your start is bad and your parties are raging at you.
    It takes some time to get used to healers class, and dont let anyone bring your spirit down!
    You might get kicked or wipe your party few times, but these are all the steps that will help you get better, so try to learn from your mistakes and dont be mad at yourself!


    Hugs for all and have fun playing your priest!!


    :elin37:

    Mana glyphs are actualy quite useful for ghilliglade i think? I didnt dps on my priest for long time, maybe something changed but i remember i had to mana charge every cooldown to dont run out of mana.


    About gear: what about succoring and pvp defense vyrsk/zyrk?
    You didnt say anything about crit resistance which is very important for PvP.
    Didnt mention the decrease stun effects roll on earings which are essential for PvP.


    But in general pretty good guides.


    I also highly recommend watching this:

    Heh good old HiveLeaders guide, I LOVE THAT VIDEO xD


    I did mention that I am not that experienced in PVP aspect of priest gameplay, I am more focused towards PVE, but I did share what works for me (bare in mind my PVP knowledge only comes from Corsair). I used to use PVP defense zyrks for ages, and I loved them a lot, but I changed all of my PVP crystals on HP for some reason and I love this setup too. I guess it depends on personal preference and what works for you :).


    I am not 100% sure that crit resistance is more useful than other crystals you can use, unless you have entire set of gear/jewelry especially for PVP rolled for crit resistance + decreased stun effects. Reason is that your enemies mostly go for crit build, and most of classes have increased crit chance on hard hitting skills, so I dont know if crit resistance can counter that. I hope some priests that are really experienced in PVP can answer this question for us ^_^.


    Also I dont think you should waste your glyph points for reducing mana on skills. I would always rather go for increased dmg/decreased cooldown glyphs on my attacks, and then use Mana charge/Divine Infusion to cover up my mana, while I deal more damage. But again... thats my personal preference.


    I hope more priests gonna share their way of playing so we can all learn new things from each other :thumbsup:

    That's exactly why you go for crit reduce... Except static crit chance on some skills which is pure bs (like brawler autocrits, reapers retribution- though that one isn't such huge damage, and some other skills)

    DPS spreadsheet~


    Cleared data due to new patch, not playing much myself so data will rely on whatever people send me.
    (Full screenshot so I can see which instance and boss to avoid cheating + see consumables used. Last time got data from some boss when people claimed it was another, max hp gave it away)

    I feel lucky with so much information available here, that is so very well displayed! Thank you for the video`s! I will add them to my video list to watch them back many times when I get stuck with my priest. ^^

    I was reading some forum posts on the web yesterday; and I saw multiple people telling that priest have more skills than some other classes? If I may ask, is it true that the Priest has more (way more) skills than other classes? Or is this difference negligible? :love:

    Well I cant say for all classes, since I played only few, but it is true that we have more skills than for example reaper or gunner (those are the ones I played).
    I just cant wait for the buff merge patch, 3 free spots on a skillbar!! Yay :thumbsup:
