    WoW Forever Priest talents at a glance

    Priests have 52 talents, five more than in Classic: 14 new and 30 changed. Nine Classic talents left the trees. Divine Spirit is one of them, because Blizzard’s BlizzCon deep dive says it is now baseline, and Lightwell is gone from Holy.

    The 31-point talents are Power Infusion for Discipline, the new Prayer of Mending for Holy and Shadowform for Shadow. The 16-point talents are Soul Warding, Binding Heal and Vampiric Embrace.

    Beta build 1.60.1.70425 removed Shadow Affinity and Improved Fade from Shadow and added Dark Inspiration. In Discipline, Mental Strength moved up from row 4 to row 2, Improved Power Word: Shield moved down to row 3 and Improved Mana Burn moved to row 4, column 2; in Shadow, Improved Mind Blast moved up to row 2.

    Discipline

    A WoW Forever Disc Priest spends most points in this tree. Discipline gets Penance as a 21-point talent, a channel that damages an enemy or heals an ally. Divine Aegis turns critical heals into absorb shields, Renewed Hope improves heals on targets with Weakened Soul, Soul Warding shortens Power Word: Shield and lowers its cost, and Twin Disciplines, Power in Light and Holy Precision support damage and instant spells.

    Holy

    A WoW Forever Holy Priest spends most points in this tree. Holy adds Binding Heal, which heals a target and you at once, Litany of Light, which restores mana when you alternate heals, and Prayer of Mending at 31 points, a heal that jumps between party members when they take damage.

    Shadow

    A WoW Forever Shadow Priest spends most points in this tree. Shadow keeps Shadowform at 31 points with a larger critical damage bonus. Improved Mind Flay makes each tick of Mind Flay hit up to 20% harder than the one before, Dark Inspiration raises your party’s Spirit by up to 15% after Mind Blast or a full Mind Flay, Devouring Contagion lowers Devouring Plague’s cost and spreads it when a target dies, and Early Demise raises Shadow Word: Death’s critical chance on low-health targets.

    Because Penance (21 points in Discipline) and Prayer of Mending (31 points in Holy) sit in different trees, a 51-point build cannot take both; plan the split in the calculator.
