Human (my classic choice)
Draenei (my TBC + choice)
Dwarf. Didn’t dwarf priests have the best ability in Classic, fear ward or something like that. Either way, I just now associate Dwarves with priests, especially female Dwarves because their braids flip around while they cast which looks iconic.
Female nelf.
Undead.
Priestess of Elune.
draenei feels the most priestly to me. (female, not a fridge boi)
looks like the votes so far are:
human: 7
forsaken: 7
draenei: 3
nelf: 3
troll: 2
dwarf: 2
velf: 1
dracthyr: 1
panda: 1
goblin: 1
belf: 1
(i think i counted them all?)
You forgot 50 points to Gnomendor.
Draenai- they look really nice.
Those guys are scary the Shadow Priests. The sort you go “Waitaminute… do I really want to mess with them?”
I’ll say female nightborne because the arcane pulse racial looks very good on the action bar next to all the other shadow priest purple spells. Plus purple puffy shadowform looks good on nightborne.
Lightforge Draenei and Human imo, i don’t think of any other races.
Now I kinda wish I’d race swapped my priest instead of deleting, since that’s actually kinda true.
Of course lore wise it’s a weird class - astromancer fits a more “secular” version of the old moon priesthood (same as for blood elves who ironically enough had astromancy as a named kind of quasi-priest first) I guess especially without the ability to make a balance druid instead.
Human, Dwarf, and Blood Elf scream Priest.
On a more literal note, most other races wouldn’t even call their “Priests” Priests. Except maybe Draenei? But their usage of Priest is far more broad.
Priest units in Warcraft 3 were blood elves. So blood elf.
Unfortunately, the Priest class doesn’t offer anything that resembles Voodoo.
Funnily in the Blood Elf heritage quest their name tag is “light mage”
Male Human, just kidding, my priest is nightbourne, female.
Update: Made my human priest. Spent 45 minutes picking a name as usual. The priest mogs do look great on human.
What race says Priest?
Any of them, if you ask the right question.
forsaken is best for priest if you play disc or shadow. holy makes more sense for human (ew sry), Draenei, and female Nelf.
