What is the best race for Priests?

For both Alliance and horde, which might be the best race for each corresponding faction in your Opinion?

Survival hunter or any rogue.

Oh , i mean best race for priests, haha.

Alliance: Humans.

Horde: Orcs.*

*-After 10.0 when Orc Priests become an option.

Pandaren master priest race

Otherwise undead since warlock meta
Night elf alli most likely

Is pander an really good for priest?

Yeah, I’m actually about to race change to them lol. Their racial adds an extra four second cd that doesn’t dr with anything in our toolkit if I’m not mistaken. Pretty OP

not with chastise?

Ah yeah I think you’re right on chastise. I’m spriest though so I don’t care :smiling_imp:

I think for holy, forsaken is best to help with cc vs locks and I’d go with night elf on alli for shadowmeld. Both effectively help prevent / remove cc

Horde: Undead.

Alliance: Human.

Nevermind. Night Elf has higher high MMR representation for Alliance than Human.

If ur playing with a mage or hunter u go undead but everything else u should go panda for the 16 second solo cc chain

Horde:

  • Orc in 10.0
  • Undead
  • Panda
  • Tauren

Alliance:

  • Night Elf
  • Human
  • Panda
  • Dank Iron
  • Gnome

1 of my priest is a panda. So much fun to incap someone into a fear… since I went back disc.

There’s only 2 real choices right now. Undead for Horde and Night Elf for Alliance. Human sounds nice, but it’s bait since you can’t really play relentless as a healer with the current pace of the game. Orc will probably be best overall in Dragonlands if they don’t change Hardiness racial.

Wrong.

Panda can be better than undead depending on comp

Play a vulpera for big Dam racial!

Not sure that you making a circumstantial addition makes him “Wrong.”
You’re just like “that’s completely incorrect. There’s one possible situation in which that’s incorrect.” Pretty inconsistent language there, bud.

You just necroed a year old thread

So no-one cares about Void Elves immunity to spell pushback? Is that because Power Word: Shield prevents it anyway and Priests have many instants?
