Anyone else only been seeing priests while leveling? I’ve spotted about 3 or 4 shaman and a hunter but everything else has been priests.
I’m also leveling a priest. I think that spriest will fall short in SL by the second raid (maybe sooner) as the secondary power progression systems for priest kinda blow. FotM spriests beware.
I’m leveling yet another priest who I have aptly named Smolears. She serves a greater purpose though. I haven’t seen too many other priests.
Ran through Exiles Reach 4 times and have not seen a single priest…
Confirmation bias probably. I am leveling a lock and a mage.
Fotm spriest everywhere, @blizzard we need spriest nerfs so they all waste their time! Also make sure to do it the last second right before launch day so they have to start at the back of the bus !
They’re the new hotness.
No new class, but spriest is essentially a new spec.
Side note: I’ve been doing LFR on mine just to get a feel for it in a raid environment, and i’ve barely seen others.
Priests still only have one DPS spec so I’m not too interested in leveling one at the moment.
I am currently leveling a Shaman and a Rogue! 
Can’t blame people. I intentionally shelved leveling my priest until the squish. The changes to Shadow just sweetened the deal.
I already have a 120 priest but leveling another one on a different server with the old Sargent title. Always wanted to, but my priest army has been benched since Legion for obvious reasons…
Shadow priest is OVERPOWERED at the moment
I would like to try a range spec and I’ve always liked shadow priest but never had the nerve to level one. This is as good a time as any.
Just a bit.
I was only dethroned on the dps charts by a warlock o-o
Scary thing about leveling a spriest for dps is you have only ONE spec to chose from!
I’m absolutely terrible at disc priest. Which leaves only Holy Priest as a back up. And even then, you might be forced into a healing role despite that not being something you desire.
I love the changes to spriest. Very nicely done. But I’m skeptical to hop aboard the hype train?. Nerfs and other changes may be handed down in the adjustment prepatch period. I have no clue what to play in SL, but spriest in its current form is high on my list!
I have characters on Area 52 and I noticed plenty of new priest leveling. 
I have seen a few Priests out there leveling around the same area as me.
I’ve had a lot of disc healers. I’m actually considering leveling my new healing priest disc instead of holy (and making my current you level priest holy instead of disc)
