Best race for Priest in WoW Forever

Gnomes join the Priest roster, and every race now learns Fear Ward and Devouring Plague at 20. Each race still has two unique priest spells.

PvE pick
Human / Troll

The Human Spirit (+10% Spirit) and Troll Berserking (10% cast speed for 15 s) are both strong for healing and Shadow.

PvP pick
Undead / Gnome

Will of the Forsaken for Horde; Gnome Escape Artist and the new Eureka! (10% cheaper, 10% stronger non-periodic abilities for 8 s) for Alliance.

Leveling pick
Troll

Rapid Regeneration lets a Shadow Priest skip drinking after most fights, and Berserking shortens Mind Blast casts.

Alliance

Warrior, Paladin, Hunter, Rogue, Priest, Mage, Warlock
  • Ruthless. Increases your critical strike chance with all spells and attacks by 1%.
  • The Human Spirit. Spirit increased by 10%.
  • Perception. Instant, 3 min cooldown. Dramatically increases stealth detection for 20 sec.
  • Will to Survive. Instant, 3 min cooldown. Instantly removes all Stun effects.
Dwarf
Warrior, Paladin, Hunter, Rogue, Priest, Shaman
  • Find Treasure. Instant. Allows the dwarf to sense nearby treasure, making it appear on the minimap and sometimes increase treasure found. Lasts until canceled.
  • Stoneform. Instant, 3 min cooldown. Instantly removes and grants immunity to all Bleed, Poison, and Disease effects, and reduces all Physical damage taken by 10% for 8 sec.
  • Artisan's Precision. Increases hit chance with spells and attacks by 1%.
  • Big Game Hunter. Damage dealt versus Beasts increased by 5%.
Night Elf
Warrior, Hunter, Rogue, Priest, Druid
  • Shadowmeld. Instant, 10 sec cooldown. Activate to slip into the shadows, reducing the chance for enemies to detect your presence. Lasts until cancelled or upon moving. Using this ability in combat discourages enemies from attacking you, but increases the cooldown to 2 min.
  • Quickness. Dodge chance increased by 1% and movement speed increased by 2%. Night Elf Rogues and Druids are harder to detect in Stealth as if they were 1 level higher.
  • Wisp Spirit. Transform into a wisp upon death, increasing movement speed by 75%.
  • Elune's Light. Instant, 3 min cooldown. Increases your critical strike chance with all spells and attacks by 10% for 15 sec.

  • Expansive Mind. Maximum Mana, Rage or Energy increased by 5%, whichever your class uses.
  • Engineering Specialization. Your gnomish ingenuity reduces the rate of engineering devices failing or backfiring when you use them by 20%.
  • Eureka!. Instant, 2 min cooldown. For 8 sec, your non-periodic damaging abilities cost 10% less (Mana, Rage or Energy) and deal 10% more damage. For Priests, your non-periodic damaging or healing abilities cost 10% less Mana and do 10% more damage or healing. Periodic effects get nothing from it; a channeled spell is not periodic. The Mage's own tooltip is the one that leaves out non-periodic.
