Is it worth burning a 58 boost on a 2nd Priest just to go Dwarf? Does it really make that huge of a difference in PvP?
If its the difference between surviving a Rogue/Mage opener, and dying in a Rogue/Mage opener, I think that alone could be worth it… but I’m not sure just how much it helps in those scenarios.
Play what ever you like, its a video game. Ive been a worgen lock since they came out and hit 2300 every season. Stop being a slave to people telling you what and how you should play. Be an Alpha!
human has perception which is huge
Nelf has shadowmeld which can have some niche use
Dwarf has the poison resistance which is so so
Honestly I would just boost something else as human racial is really strong in arena
Play what you like
STOP being a META slave
you will spend 1000+ hours looking at your guys butt
better be one you like to see!
Haha, ok thanks guys for the replies
Not as important in classic. Really for any spec of priest will want to be a space goat or a night elf with starshards. As for pvp night elf is really fun and while a priest can’t shadowmeld charge they can defend a flag well due to shadowmeld. Dwarf priests are good in classic due to fear ward, In tbc, not as important or optimal though aside from some immunities. But play what you want but be warned, people might check gear of freshly boosted characters and not just let you raid.
Fear Ward is given to all priests in 2.3.0, so realistically you’ll have that which was/is the main reason to go dwarf priest in Classic.
Personally I like the human racial the most, Perception. Timed properly, this can give you a great opportunity to break the enemy rogue out of stealth which has led to me winning a ton of games (on the current pserver I play on).
Also you get the 10% rep bonus which is just really nice for TBC with all the rep grinds.
Finally, if you plan on playing into WotLK Classic you’ll get Every Man for Himself, which is the reason to go Alliance in PvP.
So yeah, IMO it’s not only worth it to stick to human but it’s extra not worth it to use your one boost on a different race.
Perception is just okay, unless you’re a human rogue then its much better. Dwarf is best for disc pvp by far. For shadow pvp theres a little more room to choose race, but dwarf is still good for them. Stoneform is going to be really strong to get rid of viper sting and wound poison, chastise (will break shadowform since its holy) and desperate prayer all too good.
Not really worth entirely re-rolling though unless you want to be minmax super try hard sweaty in arenas specifically
Not really, I just want to hit 2050 for the weapon and I’m fine. I’ll stick to my human and will make the best of it. At least I have Desperate Prayer!
In Classic you are wanted for fear ward. I am unsure how important this is in tbc but honestly, Unless you’re gonna be the top 1% sweats, play what you want. Most people don’t care.
