Priest Leveling Spec – The Best Talent Spec For Leveling a Priest in Cataclysm
Most priest leveling spec has some advantages. Many people will say that the Shadow Spec is the best, because of its high damage output capabilities. This is mostly true, However, this is not true from levels 10-49 especially in WoW 4.3.4 going forward. The shadow build does become very powerful, but only at level 50 going forward. So the fastest priest leveling spec is in my experience: from 10-49 as a Holy Priest, from 50-85 as a Shadow priest.
Levels 10-49 use this Priest leveling spec
Holy Talent Tree
Healing Focus 2/2
Improved Renew 3/3
Holy Specialization 5/5
Divine Fury 5/5
Desperate Prayer 1/1
Holy Reach 2/2
Searing Light 2/2
Spiritual Guidance 5/5
Surge of Light 2/2
Shadow Talent Tree
Spirit Tap 3/3
Discipline Talent Tree
Twin Disciplines 5/5
Martyrdom 2/2
Levels 50-80 (Re-Spec Shadow)
Shadow Talent spec
Spirit Tap 3/3
Improved Spirit Tap 2/2
Improved Shadow Word: Pain 2/2
Shadow Focus 3/3
Improved Psychic Scream 2/2
Improved Mind Blast 2/5
Mind Flay 1/1
Shadow Reach 2/2
Shadow Weaving 3/3
Silence 1/1
Vampiric Embrace 1/1
Focused Mind 3/3
Mind Meld 2/2
Improved Devouring Plague 3/3
Shadowform 1/1
Shadow Power 2/5
Discipline and Holy tree should stay the same as above.
To get the most out of this priest leveling spec the spell rotation should be:
From 10-49 as Holy Spec it would look like this:
Smite -> Mind Blast -> Shadow Word: Pain -> Power Word: Shield -> Devouring Plague
Then from levels 50- 80 the Shadow the spell rotation is:
Power Word: Shield -> Vampiric Touch -> Mind Blast -> Vampiric Embrace -> Shadow Word: Pain -> Devouring Plague -> Mind Flay
I was leveling about 3 times faster after watching the video just below here. Zygor’s has the best in-game WoW leveling guides and is a must have. I use this guide to level my toons at lightning speeds. Get all your tunes to level 85 before “Mists of Pandaria” is released! Click the link below the videos for a special promotional 40% off. This is the #1 purchased leveling guide on WoW for a reason.
Haven’t seen enough yet? Here is the latest video with must see information about the changes made to the new WoW guides




Hi there!
Kevin here, thanks for stopping by my site on priest leveling. I live in the northern US and have been playing WOW for about 3+ years now. I have played many different classes in that time and have tried many different guides and specs for those classes. My priest was actually my very fourth I built and still one of my most favorite characters to play (especially PVP). I hope you find the information here useful in your efforts to level up your priest. If you wish to email me, click on the contact me tab.
Healthy and speedy leveling to you, fellow priests!!!
