Horde Priest Race

[justgive]

Title says it all, best racial for a horde priest?

 

[Caulfield]

Belfs and forsaken are coolest, imo.

 

[The Unspeakable]

I think Tauren are a pretty solid race choice for priest nowadays. The stomp can buy you a clutch flash heal, and give you a little interrupting power at 19 to boot. Given how much less of an issue mana is nowadays, I'd say that the extra utility of a stun is worth more than the bit of mana from torrent.



Trolls are an excellent choice, as well, for the insane throughput potential of berserking/lifeblood. They also look really cool, too.



While the goblin racials are pretty universally useful, they don't compliment casters the way they do melee.



Overall, yeah, Tauren is my pick.

 

[ceruleus]

for looks - undead

for racials - tauren, goblin, belf, troll. in that order



imo

blood elf silence isnt affected by gcd, is instant and restores 6% mana. the interrupt lasts the same as warstomp and can be used on the move.



*boggle* also id much rather take the arcane resistance from poly / CS over nature res.

trolls be flippin' out mon.

 

[Curley]

trolls or Belf best O priest imo and Tauren best D

 

[Lawlpurge]

You guys are obviously being silly..... if you want to look COOL, go troll. The best racial is belf, hands down, no contest. Plus, tauren just look retarded as priests and pallies, I'm sorry, they just do.

Belf is obviously the best on O and obviously Tauren on D

/agree, arcane resistance is OP. Ive resisted 3 polys in a row b4

 

[Evade]

what curley said. however if you are running shadow, and depending on your O comp. I'd go troll

 

[pilgrim]

BElf's arcane resist is such a piss off as an arc-mage too. Poly resist has saved my enemys team over and over in the big mid-field clashes. Plus being able to stop an important spell when you have to can be just as good as resisting it.



I would guess that goblins can be very good in pug's where you might not have the support you need all the time. Jumping away or throwing a ranged rocket blast on an EFC seems pretty good.



Forsaken have a nice edge on troll and tauren with the trinket like ability, stunning an opponent is not as helpful as dropping a poly or fear and healing your team.

 

[Sargentfc]

Well I disagree with the majority I say Goblin (1% spell speed boosts + rocket belt) then Belf, then Tauren. If you roll a Holy Priest, chasity them then rocket belt away heal etc.

 

[Lawlpurge]

Don't be fooled by the flashy rocket jump, it's just a gimmick on a 2 minute CD. In the other two minutes, you're running around worse than other classes. Belfs can use racial, then they still have passive arc. resist.

Thanks for the input, but yeah I went with Belf, the arcane resist is amazing to avoid CS's and sheeps. I don't know how many times I have raged on my mage will trying to a CC belfs.
