Hey I am making a holy priest(starting out with shadow until lvl 30) and I wanted to know which combination of BoA items I want to obtain b4 I get the wrong ones, so far I see that the best combo is the sunderseer mantle, blessed hammer and dreadmist robe

Essentially, my tips for levelling as holy are as follows:

Don’t.

I really don’t have the patience to do it myself, really. I’d rather level as a warrior, and I loathe levelling as a warrior.

Good luck with the priest! My priest who was not my first toon soon became my favorite. Instances were actually a challenge as a priest/healer. I routinely find myself almost bored with being DPS because all you have to do is pew pew. I’m sure a scan of my brain would so much less is being used when I DPS than when I heal. I think the added challenge of healing is what makes it more fun and keeps it interesting.

I still love my DPS classes and sometimes they are a nice break, but I find healing much more satisfactory!

And Nance, you are absolutely correct, running instances is about the best thing you can do as a holy or disc priest. Not only do you fine tune your healing skills, but as a priest, it’s the fastest way to gain the XP.

After getting three dps’ers to 80 and clearing the content, I went back and dusted off my Priest. She was 61 and in Hellfire. I bought her the shoulders and staff, and respecced Disc/Holy – and I am having a blast.

Still new to healing and not nearly as confident with the class, it’s a whole new ball game watching your party bars instead of dps’ing mobs.

Excellent tips, I am actually leveling a priest myself right now and did not even consider the BoA items since I thought of them as PvP gear only. Thanks :)
