What is currently the best spec for leveling a priest? Also what talents should i use for that spec.
For the most part, holy/disc will be your best bet until you get to around 90. Then I believe disc’s damage takes off a bit more as holy is a bit lackluster in the last couple xpacs for mob damage. You will survive and kill anything, just takes a bit longer due to having less damage spells.
As for talents, spec into all the survivability/dps/ensnare talents you can. But they dont generally make too much a difference in levelling until 110, as up till that point you should have BoA gear will burn through most of the content fairly quickly with the xp boosts.
Either Shadow or Disc for solo leveling/questing. Both are good but Shadow obviously does more dps while Disc has more survivability.
Then queueing dungeons just make sure to have either Holy spec or Disc spec setup and ready to go and queueing as healer will put you automatically in that spec I believe.
As for talents, check out Wowhead and Icy Veins. They’ll give you a nice breakdown of what talents are good in various situations and you can decide for yourself what to go with.
Personally I’d go with Shadow for solo leveling since it’s faster until 110ish at least, then whatever you want from there. As for which spec to heal with, that’s just personal preference. They’re both good.
id say it wouild depend on what you plan to do at end game. always good to learn your spec thru and thru while leveling. it takes a lil longer if your spec isn’t powerfurl at low level or isn’t a tank or healing spec. but it will pay dividends in the end when your muscle memory is built in. having said that disc is fun to level with. ive been mostly dungeon leveling but once you are able to do damage and that damage healz your peeps its some real fun and quick

Go Disc. Unless you really go full idiot you can’t die. You can queue for dungeons or pvp and be fine.
For talents, make selections blindfolded, it doesn’t matter which you choo-choo-choose when leveling.
