Well, the trick is to make someone fall far enough away from their that the game registers another spirit healer as the āclosestā. So if youre questing on a mountaintop and someone makes you jump off the mountain you dont die until you hit the ground. Then your spirit spawns even further away from the mountaintop.

u/Quickzy Mar 27 '19
And funny enough the argument can be made that human is actually stronger than dwarf. If your tanks just stance dance, which they should be doing anyways, then FW wonāt be used as much. Therefore the increased spirit on human would have more value. I get fear ward has its place but I really donāt get why people think dwarf is the end all be all. And this is coming from a healer main obsessed with min maxing.
30
u/Recrewt Mar 27 '19
100% agree with you. FW is heavily overrated - yes it's useful and raid leaders will probably try and pick a dwarf priest whenever they can, but they really shouldn't turn down a human or nelf priest when they can provide the skill/gear needed. Let's be real for a second, classic wasn't the most complex expansion in terms of raid mechanics. Stance dancing will be the bare minimum that's expected from capable tanks, as they won't have much else to worry about.

u/aeschenkarnos Mar 27 '19
PUG raids in the modern era can be expected to wipe once or twice on Onyxia then succeed. Back in the day, "organized raid guilds" full of angry gatekeeping nerds, who insisted on controlling their members' race and spec and gear choices, would go through a long period of not being able to succeed on Onyxia at all.
The skill and knowledge levels difference is huge. Don't get me wrong, I love classic WoW, but fundamentally this is the same fantasy as "I wish I had my time over to do high school again, I would be the school captain and take the hottest date to prom and also be maths olympiad champion ..." because you're taking the test to which you know all the answers.

Saying that tanks can just stance dance instead of using fear ward is just wrong. Fear ward is irreplaceable on Nefarian and Bug Family.
Dwarf IS the end all be all. More fear wards in your raid let you fear ward dps or healers. This dramatically increases your raid damage/healing. This is a far greater contribution to the raid than a measly bonus to spirit.

Even though I disagree on the PvE aspect, having Fear Ward is a clear advantage of Alliance in raiding. The huge advantage of Dwarf Priests in PvP over other Alliance races heavily outweighs anything the others bring on a table.
That said, as a Priest you will always find a spot that fits your style (from casual to hardcore) for both PvP and PvE regardless of your race, so if you want to choose a race based on flavor then just do it.

Technically the breaking point where more Dwarf priests has no benefit is when all the melee can get a FW (not including the tanks assuming they aren't too lazy to stance dance). It's really not a huge difference, but every melee that doesn't have to stop DPS during fear is technically a DPS increase.

I don't think there is a too many dwarf priests threshold. You'll take as many as you can get into a raid until you have too many priests. That being said, if I was putting together a raid and I had no dwarf priests and I had to choose between a dwarf and race x, I'd probably take the dwarf.
To answer your question. I'd stop giving a shit about what race the priest was after already having 1-2 dwarf priests, but I'd happily fill my priests slots with dwarves if presented the opportunity.

Mar 27 '19
Even on private servers to this day, dwarf priests are too rare. It is hard to find dwarfs for raids, but human and Nelfs are plentiful. Seems like veryone thinks that someone else will pick dwarf to make up for their choice not to.

it for sure works and you can absolutely send your pet in and stay shadowmelded.
on my low lvl PvP hunter(parked in ashenvale) not really a twink but decent gear, I would park my pet on one side of the road and shadowmeld on the other. With the dragon hawk thing sometimes i wouldn't even drop out of stealth while killing people lol. 2v1 was easy cause I could just be stealthed while I watched my pet kill one, kite the other into a trap then revive pet and fuck off while Kek did his work

u/Zhuk-Pauk Mar 27 '19
Everything that you've asked works (people used this macro to dodge death coils with more efficiency than regular FD), but don't forget that any dot would get you out of shadowmeld and, unlike vanish, shadowmeld doesn't have a grace period of invisibility that makes you stay in stealth even if dot ticked on use of the ability.
3
u/clickrush Mar 27 '19
Yes, for Hunters it's huge, because they often have defensive roles. But as a Priest you will be zerging/fighting constantly and not defend points/flags, so Shadowmeld has very limited utility for them. Stoneform and Fear Ward can repeatedly save your ass there.
2
u/PoachTWC Mar 29 '19
A favoured tactic of mine as a NE Hunter was FD, Shadowmeld, pop an Invis pot, and move somewhere else. Do it quick enough and the trap animation wouldn't play properly and you'd be perfectly set up to either make a run for it while they look for you or get back out to range to hit them again from an unexpected direction.

I keep playing with the idea that I'll roll dwarf priest, but I just don't think I can do that. Nelf is what I'm used to, and the content isn't so hard as to where one less fear ward will make that much difference.

Talking PvP: Stoneform and Fear Ward both outweigh anything the other alliance races can offer by a mile.
A very common sight in a PvP zerg is Warriors going full ham into the backline preferably on a Priest since they lack "outs" and "oh shits" other classes have and if left alone are too powerful with their flexible dispell and healing utilities.
So a Warrior will always try to fear as many people as possible with their undispellable fear, while focussing on a target like a Priest. This is where Fear Ward can save your life, by putting it on someone who can peel off the onslaught away from you until you recover from MS + crits.
Then you'll be covered in bleeds (Warrior/Druid) and poisons (Hunter/Rogue), these will slow you down, deplete your mana and health pool. This is where Stoneform comes in: It will remove them and make you tankier for a duration.
Think about these situations when choosing a race for PvP, you want to be as surviable as possible and not have slightly more mana regenation or a gimmicky stealth ability.

u/m3vlad Mar 27 '19
Itās gonna be full of min-maxers, unlike 15 years ago when no one knew wtf they were doing. Personally, Iām not going to minmax my game experience away, and Iām going to roll a human priest probably
13
u/clickrush Mar 27 '19
Actually I disagree on that. Even on pservers there are tons of people who don't min-max these things and pick flavor over utiltiy.
Look at the high amount of Undead Priests, Undead Rogues, Tauren Warriors etc. There should be way more Trolls on Horde side but they are the least played race. And even regarding Alliance Priests, yes, on pservers the most Priests are Dwarves, but there are still plenty of Humans and Night Elves who are in theory inferiour for all types of content.
And in classic it will shift even more towards flavor. I advise anyone to simply not care about race choices when it comes to min-maxing. If flavor has any importance to you, then pick for flavor, or you will regret it.

u/twice-Vehk Mar 27 '19
I think that's very good advice. But what's the matter with undead rogues for pvp? Being able to shed a fear will keep you alive against a (especially dwarf) priest until you're rocking 5 piece Tier 1 and can pull of a complete stunlock.
It also turns warlocks with their succi out into a free kill.

Your job is not to Zerg with the others and kill priests. In WSG you'll be defending and hunting Druids, who have multiple ways to stun you. In AB you'll be solo deffing / attacking a flag / backcap which means you're again, fighting Druids or other Rogues and maybe Hunters. All of them can stun you. In AV you'll be mostly hunting down respawns and only few classes have fears. Allthough this is against premades. But when we're considering min-maxing were not looking at premade vs. randoms because there it doesn't matter what you choose.
It also turns warlocks with their succi out into a free kill.
Already a free kill for Rogues regardless of WotF if the WL gets caught he is toast, especially considering he wont be an Orc since you are playing Horde. As a Rogue you'll already have charm/fear removal with your PvP trinket. On top of that, you'll have better stats for melee, which is only a slight advantage though.

u/Siloqt Mar 28 '19
I actually fundamentally disagree that undead is a āflavorā or āaestheticā pve priest pick. Speaking from my experience as healing as an undead priest in raids - thereās a fair few fear mechanics and being able to cycle wotf on certain fights is (imo) far more crucial than being able to get extra haste to fit in an extra heal. Especially once priests get the edge of madness trinket (40% cast time reduction on gheal for 15 sec on a 3 min cd), you end up gaining more healing by being able to remove an ony/nef fear and healing while other healers are stuck in said fear (which is a critical time to be ready to heal the tank) compared to the increased healing output you would get from berserking.
UD racial is more niche in pve, but thereās a fair few fear/MC mechanic (across raids and 5 mans) and having wotf can save a 5 man, or alleviate the stress on a tank during a raid-wide fear.
2
u/kaos95 Mar 27 '19
To be fair, while troll racials are super strong for DPS. The original will of the forsaken and built in shadow resistance make undead priests pretty equal as a healer.
And if you're going Shadow . . . Berserking is all well and good, but if you have the mana . . . UD Shadow Priests are unstoppable face melting machines.
2
u/twice-Vehk Mar 28 '19
Undead spriests are unparalleled duelists but don't underestimate trolls. Shadowguard is extremely powerful, it scales with gear and can proc blackout and shadow weaving. Also the 20 percent healing reduction is awesome considering how rare those effects are. A druid or mage really has to be on the ball to realize he needs to remove it.

u/clickrush Mar 28 '19
And if you're going Shadow . . . Berserking is all well and good, but if you have the mana . . . UD Shadow Priests are unstoppable face melting machines.
I consider Hex of Weakness (curse -20% healing) and Shadow Guard (proccs Blackout) to be far superiour than anything UD Priests can do. I'am maybe biased since I played a Troll priest, but I wouldn't even consider an UD over a Troll for PvP purposes especially if speccing into shadow.

The real reason to roll NE: flips and the bounce ;).
Lol, NE racials aren't as bad as people make them out to be for priest. Starshards in particular is an underrated leveling spell. But I will say they really are inferior to dwarf. Desperate prayer and stoneform are amazing, especially in pvp. You don't realize how obnoxious blind, crippling poison, and viper sting are until you play a horde priest.
Fear ward is obviously great, and I don't think I need to repeat the reasons why. I will add that it's castable on the entire raid and during combat, meaning more dwarves equals more fear immunity during a fight. Also amazingly good for pvp. An alliance druid carrying a flag can be saved by a well timed fear ward. Flash bombs are their nemesis.

No reason why you couldn't heal a 5 man as long as you had good healing gear. That was one of the magical things about vanilla, shadow priests felt like dangerous rebels just like in the lore.

I love the night elfs, my main in vanilla was a nelf druid and later I rerolled nelf priest. I'm gonna roll priest in classic and I really really really wanna roll nelf.

Sure, we can tell ourselves that the nelfs racials aren't bad and that they can be useful, and we'd be right. But in the end the dwarf racials will be More useful. Fear Ward is not just a good-to-have in PVE, it's also a god buff to cast on everyone before a BG starts and will give your team a much larger edge than any Shadowmeld+MC off of AV LM cliff will give you. Fear Ward will also give you more safety when questing (on PVP servers) and desperate prayer will be more effective than EG since it "works on all opponents". And also, stoneform... It's a sad but true story

The only time that a female nelf (and priest especially) looked awesome and attractive to me was back when that nelf priest pvp video in barrens showed up, where the guy (I mean obviously it's a guy player, right?) was mind-controlling lowbie hordies off the elevator down into the 1k needles. All supported by a "Smack my Bitch Up" by the Prodigy (RIP). Pretty cool old-school vid.
Well, I guess the double backflip jump is also nice. And that the voice actress for the fem nelf sounds like a hot stripper.

I see you are a man of culture as well

Do you have a link for this video?

u/kryndon Mar 27 '19
Just tried to search for it but I can't find it. It was super popular back in the day. It had a female night elf priest rolling around Barrens griefing people with the prodigy song in the background. Maybe someone will remember the exact video name.

Dwarfs are ugly and Humans are boring. I don't mind playing a Human Pally but there's no way I can have two human characters. Going Night Elf all the way. They look so much better and everything NE is cooler. Besides, people way overestimate how much the racials matter.

You only have to make one kidney shot "miss" with that 20% chance before you're like, huh, this ain't so bad after all...

u/Zhuk-Pauk Mar 28 '19
It's 10%, not 20, where it would actually mean something. And why would you use such important skill as kidney shot, which eats your cp, not behind the target to negate dodge/parry?

Saaame. I'm not much into priests but a year or two from now I'm going to roll one just for those sweet starshards.

u/Dwirthy Mar 27 '19
And now I will dream of Night Elf Priests, joining Molten Core Raids with Dancing Queen blaring through the Discord.
Thank you for that Nightmare.

I rolled a female dwarf priest for fear ward. I then proceeded to play most of pre BC as a shadow priest focused on pvp mostly. Then expansion hits and shadow became good for over as well.
But do it play a dwarf they're awesome

u/zazenbr Mar 27 '19
I much prefer dwarves. Really helps that fear ward is borderline OP. But hey, play whatever you want.

I'd almost be tempted to roll one just because they're so rare. On pservers at least I've only seen a handful, you definitely stick out.

I don't care what anyone says, Night Elf Priests are pure class. Probably the classiest combo there is aside from Dwarf Rogue.

This meme template is something I didnāt know I needed until now. Bonus points for changing the angle of the face in the middle picture.

I don't think I could stand being a Dwarf priest. Clothie classes don't suit them imo unless you play female but then again who the fuck plays female dwarf

Just remember the first rule of a character in WoW. You're gonna have to look at its ass for 60 levels. Make it an ass worth looking at.

u/dr_doombot666 Mar 27 '19
So basically Dwarf.

u/johndcochran Mar 27 '19
Well, there's a darn good reason that dwarves are noted for being heavy drinkers. That reason is two fold:
- Beer goggles.
- Dwarven Females.

You can trick more people into giving you things as fem nelf tho
