Instructor Razuvious 25 man requires 2 priests to properly perform the fight. This presents some challenges that the current playerbase may not be able to overcome.
- Multiple disc priests really do not stack in a raid well similar to how multiple resto druids did not back in classic.
- Shadow is weak dps and other classes bring the same utility, not a whole lot of people out there playing them.
- Holy is about the same as a resto shaman healing wise but you would be more likely to bring a resto shaman in that spot to be the lust bot.
Now for the biggest issue. You are required to have 8% of your raid as a priest for 25 man naxx. The current world population for 71-80 is sitting right at 8% for priests. I highly doubt priests are more or less likely to raid than any other class. That means, week in and week out priest is the only class that can not miss a raid or the group can not clear the easiest raid in the expansion.
TLDR: 25 man naxx needs MC orbs for Raz.

What?
It’s not hard to get two priests in your raid, just tossing together everyone whom was 80 for a unoffical fun guild run we were able to do Razuvious 25 just fine. The priests needed a little practice, but that’s not a big deal since they’d never done the fight.
Shadow does fine damage wise, and there’s nothing wrong with having a holy or a disc priest.

Doesnt change the fact that there simply are not enough priests to go around. It was night 1, of course it was easy to find them. There simply is not a large enough population of priests to be sustainable.

Funny. no one had an issue with it in the 40 man version, nor the original wrath.
It’s seriously not that hard.

Priests were also the strongest healer in classic and with 40 people you had room to take 5 of them

So…? I don’t see what that has to do with anyhting.
Disc Priests are pretty strong, and holy’s just fine.
Shadow does plenty of damage for Naxx…
Unless your actively gatekeeping and physically purposely discouraging people from playing priests, there’s seriously no reason to have an issue here.

Go troll somewhere else… You are required to use 2 priests on that fight. There is exactly 2 to go around. If a priest can’t make your raid then your guild isn’t clearing that week. That is not acceptable. No other class is like this. If a tank can’t make it then have any of your plate dps or druids OS for the night. If any other healer can’t make it you can do the same. If a mage can’t make it who cares. But someone can’t just “respec priest”.
This is seriously proof that half you people will literally argue with anything on these forums. This is actually an issue.

That then need 100% attendance and literally every priest must raid 25 mans to fill rosters. No casual priests allowed. Unacceptable

Thousands of guilds handled it just fine in vanilla Naxx and original Wrath.

Thats not the game we are playing right now, in case you were not aware.
Pretty sure I’m playing Wrath classic, which has a raid that functions the same mechanically as it did in actual Wrath.
So…?

Just get a couple of priests. Hardest part is getting them to hit 80.

Different population completely.
On Eranikus in the last 4 days there has been zero english speaking, unguilded priests interested in doing anything other than being casual or gdkp only on the alliance side. 77-80 the population is below the threshold to supply 2 per raid by quite a few. 71-80 its just under enough to supply 2 per raid. Who’s going to break the news to priests that they literally can not have a night off for the next 6 months?
