It’s easy for me to, while questing, have it make story sense as a class like a warrior or hunter, because a warrior or a hunter would go out and help others or fight things storywise. But how can you apply that logic to a priest? How would you make a priest go out and fight things and help others RP wise?
Because your deity said “go there and fight things”

That’s sorta the reason paladins were created, to be warrior priests that CAN go out and actually help people and fight.
but anyway, A wandering priest traveling the countryside offering prayers, funeral services, and other priestly duities to the peasantry is a good place to start. During their travels their compassion compels them to tackle any local problems with their divine gifts.

You could also approach it as the priest going out from their monastery - their houses of the holy - and venturing to be one with the world to experience it. They could be traveling to help others, like a wandering healer.
Could also look at it like this:

Visit distant towns and villages to offer succor and healing. (Perhaps a little bit of Mind control Void)

A priest going around helping those in need writes itself tbh. One of the easier ones to justify.
A dk or dh is where id struggle. Mainly because who would ever in ask one for help haha

for what it’s worth, i think a dh or dk may simply travel amongst the lands they once called home to feel a part of them again. rooting out the same evil that brought them their fate.

You are the Azerothian equivalent to the apostle Paul. You spread the good word, perform some miracles, and get heretics to be burned at the steak.

We are getting paid, heroes do good deeds for free.
In a way we are more like murder hobos who help others for payment to survive and sleep outside.
Murder homeless hobos for hire.
Stormwind had to do budget cuts, so your priest was the first one on the chopping block for layoffs. Now you wonder around doing deeds for chump change.
to gather knowledge of lands and their religions, to be a medic, to help heal the wounded, and most importantly to spread the faith.

I think you kinda do the witcher thing with them.
no one likes them, but when you have a coven of warlocks summoning demons you’re gonna begrudingly hire the guy who specializes in dealing with stuff like that.

It works for the bigger quests, but right now im levelling an alt and my quest im on is “thelsamar blood sausages” where ive been tasked with getting ingredients for the inn to makes some sausages.
But i could imagine a non serious rp being hilarious with a hulking monstrosity of death going round picking flowers and saving people kitties haha

Go around from town to town searching for mythical, potentially dangerous long-lost cures to illnesses that confound Azeroth. In your desperation, make a dark pact to cure one of your own illnesses/disabilities.

Could do something like a battle priest for the Church or a chaplain for a paramilitary organization, like some kind of mercenary’s guild.
