Priest Builds, Updated For Patch 5.2
PriestBuilds.com is a site that lists different talent builds and information for priests of World of Warcraft. Many of these priest builds come from forums, elitistjerks, shadowpriest.com, email contributors, wowwiki, myself, etc. I hope you find the following priest builds and information useful.
Finding the right priest build that has been tested and work can save you a lot of gold and save you a lot of time figuring out a priest build that works for you.
The talent system has completely changed for all classes with Mists of Pandaria. We no longer can pick talents from trees we now pick on talent for each tier available to us. At level 90 we have talents from 6 tiers available to us to choose from to make our priest builds.
Other major changes in Mists of Pandaria include:
-Spell changes
-Level cap raised to 90
-A pet battle system added
-Changes to the gyph system that removes the primary glyphs.
-Many, many more changes..

News:Patch 5.2 has been released, here are some of the changes that directly effect priests:
-The amount of healing done by Flash Heal, Binding Heal, Renew, and Prayer of Mending have been reduced by 20%. -Spiritual Healing is a new passive ability obtained by Discipline and Holy Priests at level 10. This ability increases the amount of healing done by Flash Heal, Binding Heal, Renew, and Prayer of Mending by 25%. For Holy and Discipline Priests, there is no decrease to the amount of healing done by those four spells.
-Holy Fire is now an instant cast ability. -Power Infusion now increases the Priest's damage by 5% in addition to current effects. -Phantasm no longer makes the Priest untargetable by ranged attacks, and the movement impairing immunity effect is now 5 seconds (was 3 seconds). -Psyfiend belonging to an individual Priest will no longer cast Psychic Horror on the same target twice.
