If this has been answered already please forgive me. Title is the question, basically gonna happen or not?
The priest is the class, so aren’t all the spells class specific?
Of course that’s going to happen.

This will definitely be as it was in Vanilla.

No. Each priest race had a few unique abilities. That’s what he’s referring to.
Edit: oh I see. He said it funny.
Y’know … I didn’t think about this during the Demo, but I don’t remember my night elf priest having Starshards available. Weren’t those learned pretty early on, like level 10?
Yup Starshards Rank 1 was learned at level 10. Stuff like Devouring Plague and Fear Ward were learned at 20.
Yeah, I remember that now - never played a priest so I was confused.
I meant race specific priest spells, some people knew what i meant but it wasn’t worded properly. I’ll fix it

I like the flavor this adds but hate the incentive it provides. Fear ward is much better than starshards but dwarves are ugly and I would hate to play one. Decisions…

Play human instead. They are prettier than dwarves (and look beautiful in t3) and have arguably the best racial. 5% spirit is better than fear ward if you’re tanks are actually good.

Fear Ward is really overrated for PvE but it is way better than Feedback in PvP. I do agree that humans look nicer in priest gear, the females do at least.
That’s very true. I was talking from a pve perspective. In pvp I would definitely prefer fear ward and stoneform
Fear Ward. All day.

My tanks back in the day were VERY good. The thing about vanilla raids is that we had some of everything. We had human, nelf, and dwarf priests in our raids. There were several bosses where an FW on the tank was just an excellent utility…and I have always loved dwarves.
Each racial added something, and though fire mages were almost mandatory in my guild, I was the lone frost holdout (my main was a frost mage), and having me there with my improved blizzard came in very handy on several occasions.
The priest racials were part of the flavor, and I loved my Fear Ward. I want it back.
But every class and race will have a place in end game content. Our guild was a BWL/AQ on farm guild, and we didn’t have ridiculous “you can’t be this race/class combo” restrictions. People played what they wanted to play, and if they were good at it, there was room for them in our raids.
Some of us really regret the removal of fear ward. (Human priests got it also in BC, and then it went to all priests before the removal - some of us really liked the utility of it and quite frankly, timewalking BC really sucks without it).
Classic priestess is going to be a dwarf for the racial priest spell even though my retail priestess is a human.

They may not have put it in for some reason. Hopefully they will.

I can’t speak on behalf of Blizzard but I’d be shocked if they weren’t in the game…
For me, I know people like the Dwarf racials, and feedback is a bit meh, but I like the spirit and perception, so for my purposes I don’t think I have a choice! That and I prefer old Human models vs Dwarf models, and at least for me, aesthetics count!
