Advanced Topics in Priest Play

Keep in mind the assumption of 10 points spent in the holy tree.  That's probably the difference in the numbers.  A priest without at least that minimum investment in the holy tree at level 60 should be immediately booted from any instance or raid party.

Ouch, that's pretty harsh.

I've been working my way through BRD in 5-man groups, as a level 57 Undead Shadow Priest. Now, my character is a pure PvP build. As in, not a single talent point spent in anything that has to do with PvE - no improved Fade, no aggro reduction, no healing talents.

I've tried my best to keep my healing abilities up to par. I keep two separate sets of eqiupment, one with +126 Shadow Damage and one with lots of +INT/+SPI. I keep heavy runecloth bandages around so that I still have some healing when OOM. That said, I don't pretend to be nearly as effective as a healer with healing talents.

But does this mean that every instance or raid party should immediately boot me? Ouch, you make me feel like a Rogue.

To be honest, I wish PvP Honor would get implemented quick, because then there would be a way to get cool items without having to raid instances all the time.
