Great for a raids, but not very useful while leveling or in 5-man dungeons. Fear Ward: One-use ability that grants a friendly target immunity to the next fear effect used against them.It’s a great heal, and can easily save one’s life if one is low on mana and health.

Priests can kill things really fast, but if one spends twenty seconds drinking after every kill or two, one is not being very efficient. While leveling, one wants to be efficient, which most people interpret as “kill stuff as fast as possible.” What being efficient actually means is earning as much experience per hour as possible. The second issue is distinguishing the difference between DPS (damage per second) and DPM (damage per mana). However, there exists an amazing ranged weapon type called wands. The first issue I believe most people have is thinking that one has to spam spells to do damage, and priest spells – Mind Blast in particular – can be horribly mana-inefficient. Having leveled a priest in vanilla and once again on Nostalrius, I can say that, aside from hunters and warlocks, they are actually one of, if not the most efficient levelers. A lot of people have these tales about how terrible leveling as a priest is/was in vanilla.
