Played Rogue as a main TBC, WoTLk, and during Cata I switched to Priest and played the priest mainly as shadow in cata and Mop. Haven’t played since MoP. Really enjoyed both and do not have time to play both so I’ve got to get it right the first time.
I have very little experience in classic. I was actually leveling a hunter during classic and stopped at around level 30 and rerolled to rogue right before TBC.
Hoping maybe someone could help convince me which to go with as I’m just so unsure. I am leaning towards alliance at this point.
Dwarf Priest. You will never lack for groups or raids. (Or BG pre-mades, for that matter.)
Priest. Rogues without the bc talents make me a sad fox.
Vanilla rogues were devastating…
Meh, felt frustrating, but I only tried it on a crappy private server. Regardless, I’m all about that s priest life. Mained a rogue bc, a priest during wotlk.
Yes but then you have to be a dwarf.
You will not find a spot as a shadow priest in raids, but they are god damn face-melters in PvP (as long as you dont need mana for more than 1-2 people). Rogues pull the big sexy DPS numbers in both PvP and PvE, but everyone and their mother will also be rolling a rogue for those 1337 crits, so competition is gonna be fierce.
want to play solo and wpvp? rouge
want to actually be wanted and invited to everything? priest
Ask yourself do you want to DPS or heal. Priest are great in solo PvP and semi ok in raid situation. If you already have a raid spot as shadow then it would be fine. Finding a raid that wants a shadow Priest is a bit tougher. Later expansions shadow became great in all situations, but you lack a lot in Classic.
Rogue is also top tier dps and great in PvP, but with different specs. You can make easy gold just pickpocketing in dungeons. Also a tad harder to find groups or a raid spot since you compete with tanks for gear and a lot of players will roll Rogue.
If you have any intent on healing at all I would go Priest. If you want to compete at the top of meters and show others you are the Rogue to pick up for runs. Then go Rogue. Priests are still really fun in Pvp as shadow, but you will be asked to heal a lot.

This right here. Don’t make a Priest unless your top priority is healing. Shadow in vanilla is relatively boring. I couldn’t imagine leveling a Priest of all things to 60 with the focus on just being shadow.
