I’ve Retired From The Hunter Pew Pew
Just weeks after gushing about the new Hunter loot I had acquired I’ve decided to put that character on the back burner and switch to my Priest full-time.
The Reasons
This happened for two specific reasons. Number one, I was just tired of playing a pure DPS class. At some point you reach a level of gear and proficiency with your rotation that things just become kind of boring. In the last few weeks, when playing my Hunter, each instance run has kind of felt like the same old thing run after run. I felt like a switch was necessary to maintain my interest in the game.
Number two, I joined a really cool guild that gives me opportunity to heal some Heroics from time-to-time. As the Priest, I can go Holy to heal or Shadow to DPS so there’s a variety there that I just didn’t get with the Hunter.
Gearing Up
My Priest was a strictly PvP character until I decided to put my Hunter on the shelf more often so it’s been a bit of a struggle to gear up to heal Heroics. I’m getting more Shadow drops than Holy ones it seems so I’ve basically been grinding for Emblems and praying for drops in Regular ToC.
Moving Forward
So you might see more Priest related posts here at Alterac Volley. I’ve been really swamped with work as of late (which is why you’ve seen a few guest posts over the last month) but I’m hoping to get back into the swing of things soon. Thanks for everyone’s patience.

My 80 is a hunter and I’ve also switched to leveling a priest. Now at 57 shadow/discipline I’ve been running AV the last few levels to learn how to heal, and I plan to push through Outland and Northrend soon.
I need some beginner priest info, what blogs/sites do you use most?

Nothing wrong with that.
Good luck with the Priest! Hopefully you have more luck with drops for your clothie than I did with mine.
