Interested in figuring out how to level a Priest? Well, before we go into that, its good to know what the Priest is all about first.

Not everyone will enjoy playing a Priest, but if you want to be considered a valuable asset to any group due to a powerful ability to heal, the Priest is your guy. The Priest at the same time though can dish out serious damage with their Shadow tree.

If you’re curious about how to level a Priest, it’s important to know that you’re in for quite the challenge. It’s a challenge that few people see to the end as well, it’s really tough up until level 20. Even from level 20 on it’s tough, however if you can stick around to level 40, things improve.

Now as we were saying before, the Priest can also dish out a lot of damage if they choose to go with the Shadow tree. This tree is made specifically for pure damage dealing and can make the Priest a significant threat on the battlefield. The good thing about going this route though is you can still be useful to groups for your buffing and de-buffing.

The Priest is quite a versatile class and is much sought after. If you’re very much into team play and being the center of attention, the Priest is a good choice to make.

Switching gears, when it comes to how to level a Priest, you’re going to start off in your early levels with Smite, then Mind Blast, Shadow Word: Pain and finally Power Word: Shield.

Once you progress past level 20, you should change this though to a sequence such as Smite, Mind Blast, Shadow Word: Pain, Power Word: Shield and Devouring Plague.

Once you reach the very late game which is basically level 60-80, you will need to change your rotation once more to the following: Power Word: Shield, Vampiric Touch, Mind Blast, Vampiric Embrace, Shadow Word: Pain, Devouring Plague and Mind Flay.

That should be enough to get you going with leveling your Priest, if you need more than that, you may need a more in-depth guide.
