Learn how to play a Priest as a healing class in World of Warcraft. Level with a shadow build and dual spec to Holy for endgame.

Priests in World of Warcraft function as a standard healing class. While they are hybrid classes, it is strongly recommended that you prioritize healing in the late game. You can level using a shadow or disc build, and at level 80, you can almost guarantee finding many groups as a healing Priest. The strategy is simple: if you want to be a healer, level off a shadow build, then dual spec into any other specialization, making Holy your chosen tree. Damage dealers (DPS) are abundant, and your faction needs you as a healer.
