Blizzard Entertainment

World of Warcraft Season of Discovery Phase 1 has a lot of things to consider regarding the individual strength of all of the classes, so we will examine the best options in terms of items, talents, and runes for DPS Priests given the current meta.

Although the devs have been quite quick to adjust imbalances in each class, this guide should help you get a general idea of how to best utilize the kits Priests have so you can mind blast your enemies in quick succession.

We will provide the best talents, runes, gear, etc. for WoW SoD Phase 1 currently so you can have an easier time clearing the new Blackfathom Deeps Raid and do PvP in Ashenvale like it's nothing. Let's get started!
