Wow, How much do Priests Suck?!

[ninbuddyja]

Ive botted quite a few different classes, most of them being an absolute pleasure once a little time has been spent to get them customized and running smoothly. But Priests, damn, where do I start. Priests are just about the biggest pain in the ass ever...lol. The combination of cloth and burning through mana like crazy has driven me to forget about mine for a while. Not worth the effort and frustration.

Anyone else feel the Priest pain before?

I did a priest once and it wasn't bad with shadow, spirit tap, and a lot of spirit gear. I don't know if that's still the case though.

 

[Scattered]

Actually my priest was good as gold levelling with ePriest and bliik Horde 1-60. There were a few profile issues but the CC was fine.

 

[ninbuddyja]

I suppose Im just biased considering Im comparing the priest to leveling a Hunter, Shaman, and Pally. All three of those classes never have to stop to rest, so I guess Im just spoiled...lol.

I am finding druid to be FAR less efficient that leveling a shadow priest. But, those are the only classes I've invested any real time with using Hb so far.

 

[exfelon]

all of those classes have to stop during there pre 60 levels. don't try and fool anyone. ok maybe not hunters. but who the fuck wants to play a hunter. sub 60 priests are slow but they rarely die. after 60 they only get faster and faster.

You haven't tried a Mage, have you?

Biggest pain ever. Had mine hit 60 then stoped

 

[ninbuddyja]

Hehe, no mage, I guess by your tone that its pretty bad. Thanks for the Warning!

Enhancement Shamans and both Ret and Prot pallys can both run indefinetly though from my experience. Hell Ive never even bought a single drink for my shaman, and I think the beverages in my pallys bag have probably gone Rancid! Hunters, welll, there a Hunter.

 

[exfelon]

lol funny thing is it gets better starting at 60. but yeah they're slow.

Priests are fragile and mana burners at low lvls

but in my opinion Mages are not worse

My lvl 44 priest kills very fast and doesnt rest at all, spirit gear + spirit tap makes it regen the mana he loses quite fast, maybe he will rest after pulling multiple mobs, but mob by mob he doesnt stop atm

Nice, there is hope! I might try stacking spriit gear, as I think i was trying for spell power and int if I remember right. I dont know though, I was so disenchted with the whole effort it might take a while to get the motivation to crank him back up again.

Priest Suck-O-Meter:
Bad||||||||||| Good
Conclusion: there's still room for improvements

 

[xopherw]

one of my main farmers is a spriest.
sure, they are hard to level but once you make it to 80
they can melt some serious face, and dont require tons
of drinks like mages do.

btw .. my Spriest is my main skinner and LW

I leveled my shadow priest to 60 manually, almost zero downtime. Once I started using HB at that level it was unreal how fast he leveled. At 72 I grouped him with prot pally and combat rogue and they leveled slow together so I put priest solo again, no downtime at all insane leveling rate.

Priest and DK are the only 2 I have seen so far with zero downtime and rapid leveling.

After lvl 75, the fastest i have ever seen was a elemental shaman, basically he would 2-3-4 shot any mob his level.

Ret paladin was fast too, but not as fast and it needed quite a bit of programming skills to get it to handle dificult mobs while keeping his mana up and hp up, like seal/judgement rotation, clever dispell/freedom logic etc.

Spriest atm is amasing (well mine is), still if he gets adds or doesnt crit as he normally does, he will need to slow down a bit if he is to keep a no-downtime run.

 

[awscissors]

i haven't botted a priest but my main is a priest and untill around lvl30-40 he was painfully slow and had a lot of problems with adds. Honestly, if u want a healer paladins/druids/shamans will be faster to level and shaman/druid healers are more in demand (my server at least). I don't really dps raids/pvp so idk how they compare in that aspect lol

 

[lynar]

I'm in to my second "mainaccount" aka no bot (except up to 80, hehe) with a priest as main.
My first one got banned because blizz detected a bot i used before i bought HB.

And YES, they are big hemoroids in the a-hole until 40 (shadowform).
But SPIRIT is your friend as a druid. All the way up to 80 and beyond that aswell

 

[mindtrapper]

Buy 2 accounts and level 2 paladins/warlocks/hunters to 60. Then level a "suck at low lvls class" to 30 and give it levels till 60 That's what i did with a druid.
