Priests have tons of unique skills and abilities. In World of Warcraft (WoW) every class can access their non-talent based skills whenever they meet the requirement for them. Usually it's a level, but sometimes it can be a quest or a skill obtained from an old tome of knowledge.

If you're looking for a list of all of the skills and abilities that Priest can access for all levels then click here to view all skills, spells, and abilities for the Priest class!

As a Priest unlike any other class your race determines some of your spells. Each race that can be a Priest provides you with two different racial Priest spells that you may learn. Each provides a different ability to the Priest and makes each races Priest play slightly differently. You gain the first racial spell at level 10 and your second at level 20. Each has levels that you can learn as you progress though the game.

Humans

Talent builds are something that are unique to each person. They also change patch to patch. That's why we give you the chance to submit your own Priest talent builds over at the Ten Ton Wiki.

Priests come in three basic types. Shadow for damage, Holy for healing and Discipline for a bit of everything. Each has their own special twist.

Talents are written out in much the same way as spells. Talents have ranks though so are listed as name, rank, talent, points required in tree, description.

A very important thing to note about talents is that you can currently unlearn them if you need to. This allows you to build your character one way for early levels and then change mid-way or even late game to a different style. This is a general tip and works for all classes not just priests.

To unlearn all your talents, the first time only costs 1 gold, the second time only costs five gold, and then ten gold and then goes up by 5 for each subsequent respec. This is a very nice bonus, it means you do not have to play your end-build from level 1 (well.. 10). The respec cost drops by 5 gold for every 30 days you have not respecced, down to 10 gold, so that it should never be that high to do.

For a complete listing and review of all the talents available to a Priest check out our Priest Talent Guide.
