## Summary

Plan WoW Forever Priest talents across Discipline, Holy and Shadow and see what changed from Classic.

## 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.

## Save and share a WoW Forever Priest build

Every point you spend is written to the page address, so a WoW Forever Priest build is saved the moment you make it. Copy the build link to post it in your guild chat or a guide; opening it restores the same points, level and Legacy Talented rank. Your last Priest build also stays in this browser, and the [Legacy talents planner](/tools/legacy-talents) works the same way for your account perks.

## Runs in your browser

The calculator runs in this browser tab. Your build lives in the page address and in this browser's local storage; nothing is sent to a server.


## How to use the Priest Talent Calculator

- Set the level you want to plan for; the Priest trees keep the build inside that many points.
- Spend points from the top of Discipline, Holy and Shadow. Each row needs five more points above it in the same tree.
- Follow the lines between icons; a linked talent opens only when the talent above it is at max rank.
- Turn on Compare to Classic to see which Priest talents are new, changed or moved.
- Copy the build link to share your Priest talents.

Discipline gets Penance as its 21-point talent: a channeled Holy spell with a 12 sec cooldown that hits three times, instantly and then every second for 2 sec, either damaging an enemy or healing an ally. Divine Aegis turns critical heals into shields, and Power in Light raises Smite and Penance damage on targets with your Holy Fire or Shadow Word: Pain.
