Healer · DPS

Priest BiS checklist

Healing is the stable role and the easiest way into groups. Shadow is the solo spec — it wants hit gear before it feels good.

Holy

Healer

Healers are always in demand. Spell power, spirit, and the cheap trinkets carry you through pre-raid and into MC.

Shadow

DPS

Shadow is a solo and PvP spec first. Take the shared caster pieces, but do not outbid real healers in raids until you are committed.
