WORLD OF WARCRAFT: FOREVER · TALENT TREES
Priest Talents
Every talent compared with Classic: gold border = new, blue = changed, purple = moved, grey = unchanged. Click a talent for rank-by-rank tooltips and the Classic text.
Priests carry 13 new talents, most of them in Discipline, which is now a full healing tree rather than a place to spend leftover points: Penance sits at row 5, with Power in Light, Twin Disciplines, Soul Warding, Renewed Hope and Divine Aegis around it, and Power Infusion still at the top. Holy's capstone is Prayer of Mending; Shadow adds Improved Mind Flay, Devouring Contagion and Early Demise, which names the new Shadow Word: Death.
Devouring Plague is a normal Shadow spell now, not an Undead racial, and every Priest trains Fear Ward. Priest racial spells survive with two per race — see the Races page. Two Tier 1 sets: Vestments of Conviction for Discipline/Holy (its 5-piece shortens Penance and Prayer of Mending) and Raiments of Conviction for Shadow. Gnome Priests are new on the beta roster.
