as of next patch, undead priests will not be feared
ever
I had to re-read that several times before I realized you meant that fear just wouldn't work on undead priests, rather than "nobody will be afraid of undead priests."
I think, depending on how that new dwarf/draenei racial pans out, every alliance race that can roll a priest (not gnomes ) has something worthwhile that they bring to the table. I think I'd personally roll Human if I were seriously doing a reroll, just to cut down on rep grinding bullshit, and the 10% spirit buff is supposedly pretty good for priests.
I kind of feel for people who didn't really want to roll a dwarf priest, but got pressured into it so their guild/pvp group/friends/whatever would have fear ward.

They still have the best priest ability.
A holy gouge? That's pretty potent.

Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
Draenei or Dwarf, depending on if that stun is cool or not. Or you can go with human to kinda annoy enemy casters, almost to the point that they notice it. Almost.
Fixed.

The priest becomes surrounded with anti-magic energy. Any successful spell cast against the priest will burn 165 of the attacker's Mana, causing 1 Shadow damage for each point of Mana burned. Lasts 15 sec.
The real kick in the teeth is that this is the new improved version. It used to be a weapon melee enchant!
Also I just looted an oxymoron. [Flawless Wand of the Whale]. If it was flawless it wouldn't be of the whale now would it?
So, the WoW Realm forums aren't quite as stupid as General, or the the other, larger forums, but at the same time never get attention from the moderators. Sargeras has recently had a troll that does nothing but insult people (Poorly too, not a good troll at all). https://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=2766082494&pageNo=2&sid=1#24

Yup, when you come through from Stonetalon Mountains, just stay close to the hill to the north, there is an opening flanked by pillars. If you reach the Satyrs, you have gone too far.
Does anyone know what the easiet/fastest character class is to level? My own research around the interwebs is leading me to believe that a Beast-spec hunter is the fastest and easiet. Is this an accurate statement? Or are there a few classes that are roughly comperable in speed and lack of headaches? The reason I ask is that I'm starting on a new server (pvp if that matters), and I'd like to not go through the torture that was raising a pally to 65 (the highest I've ever leveled a character). So, uh, comments? Suggestions? Swearwords?
I can say that levelling as an Affliction Warlock is pretty straightforward and quick, with the added bonus that you also get to be a Warlock.
I don't think that it can possibly compare to the ease and speed of levelling a BM hunter though. Hunters have a bunch of random bullshit hoops you have to jump through (having to buy ammo, devoting a bag slot to a quiver or ammo pouch, having to devote some of the remaining bag space to pet food, training your pet, needing to stable your real pet every so often to tame a different one to learn new pet skills, etc.) but once you're past that, actual combat is super easy and is just a matter of sending in the pet, getting some shots in, and collecting your loot. You can even screw that much up and you'll still rocket to 70, because the hunter class will not let you fail.
Rogues are pretty straight-forward for gameplay. They might not always have it as easy as a hunter, but they are fast levelers, good dps, and don't have a huge spellbook of abilities to learn how to use.
You could practically spam 22222+3 all the way to 70.
Of course, adding human intelligence to this mix certainly helps.

That's actually a damn good racial for arena. Every team worth mentioning will have at least 2 casters on it, even if one is just to dispel. If you pop that at the right time when everything is getting spammed you can burn ~2k mana without actually having to do anything yourself. And that's if the other team only has 2 casters.
In regards to the feral druids, just a warning, they don't pick up at all until 20, and they do slow down a bit from maybe 40-50 until you pick up mangle, at which point they catch back up, and they don't really peak until 61 IIRC, when you can have mangle and OOC up at the same time.
I think a BM hunter or affliction lock would still be pretty far ahead of them in sheer ease.
The upside of doing the druid is that once you get to 70, you have the option of being a tank that can also do decent dps, a ranged caster that plays a lot like a mage, or a great healer, wheras with a lock or hunter you're stuck being a lock or hunter. Also you don't have to deal with the BS of managing soul shards or ammo/pet food/etc, and you get stealth, which is a great plus.
But at the cost of 705 mana of your own, which is pretty shitty. Maybe if it was FREE like fucking new Starshards. :S
Devouring Plague is still 1.1k mana and can easily be countered with a disease cleanse. Feedback is a self buff that will wreck anyone targeting you, at a pretty cheap price all things considered. In 1v1 and late matches feedback is far and away the better racial against casters.

So, who's on Moonglade EU and wants to give me 1.5k gold for my epic flyer?
1.5k is really not that much to farm. A weekend is enough, and the benefits of doing it are worth it. You get extra daily quests, a lot less travel time (trust me, you'll love this), recoup some of the gold on the initial quests, and if you are a gatherer, a lot, lot more nodes.
Go hit legion hold warlocks, AH the sargeras and fel armaments, turn the cloth into heavy bandages, vendor the the green weapons, DE the rest. Depending on class/gear, up to 200g/hour is possible.
... I love you. I made 150g in about 20 minutes of grinding level 67 mobs which go down in about 3 seconds fighting me (A badly geared fury warrior). Maybe I was lucky with drops (5 Fels, 60 Marks, 4 greens and a crapton of cloth) but grinding there is amazing.
night elves have had the shitty end of the priest stick for quite some time now
I know I made two night elf priests and I felt ripped off with starshards, playing a priest has been a lesson in sadsim for me.
Now that I have a draenei priest with symbol of hope it's a fun racial.
The new starshards is a tiny regret of mine
OH GOD IVE BEEN EXALTED WITH VE SINCE THE BEGINNING OF JUNE DROP ONE OF THE FOLLOWING:
1) A healing mace, any healing mace, even a random blue essence focuser would give hope
2) Tryptawha? Oh more rogue shoulders? Another Crappy neck?
3) I hear rogues complain about no spiteblades? Im sorry, your kidding right? He drops healing belts?
3) Hey another dagger from illhoof! Thank goodness lurker in SSC was kind!
im bitter... so very bitter... im going with alt guildy runs ~.~
I have you beat but then it's quite pathetic
I log on my warlock
"Anyone interested in doing a heroic or any other instance?"
At the same time I place myself in the lfg channel
Nothing for hours as I go about doing my dailies and farming for junk
I get on my warrior
Want to tank shattered halls?
I don't have the gear or level for it
WE have a really geared out priest
I am still wearing valor
We really need a tank
My gear sucks and I am level 67
and it goes on from there
$25 is allot of money and because of my alt problem it now costs $125

I don't know...the new Starshards has insane scaling....
Dwarves still have stoneform though, which is fucking great in arenas.

This seems to be a common thing.
Hardcore hordies always say "Fucking gnomes and fag Night Elves...
...Dwarves are pretty metal, though."
But for me, Dwarf, Human, and female Draenei. Because the men look goofy.
Also :winky:

You quit too easily
frequently
And no, there were none for sale in the AH. If there were, they'd probably be way too much, anyhow.

This was on my Rogue. I was killing them so fast that Stealth wasn't even off of cooldown between mobs.
Sometimes, you just ain't got luck on your side!
I think everyone factors in things like: vendor items/cloth/motes/other stuff. Or maybe they're all just raking in that much coin.
