Priest Guide: Equipment Update

What is best for a Priest

Gear and equipment choices are complicated for any class or situation. As a Priest though they are extremely complicated as you have two main roles and several different requirements, all of which drastically change the gear that you will be looking for. In today's update Byron "Messiah" Mudry looks at the numerous options open to a Priest and lays out some guidelines for choosing the best gear.

As a Priest the stats you require don't really vary on your build all that much, although the balance between the stats changes. The two main builds for a Priest are a Healing build (either based on Holy or Discipline) or a Shadow build for damage or PvP. As a Healing priest your main stats in order of importance are going to be Intelligence, Spirit and Stamina. While if you are a shadow priest you are going to pull aggro once in a while and need to take a few more hits, therefore the stats you want in priority are Intelligence, Stamina and Spirit.
