[Epic] A Guide to Priest Gearing

[Ferag]

Before I start anything, I searched "Priest" and found nothing so don't flame because of that.

Hey guys, Ferag here again with another sweet new guide dreamed up by me... I wrote this guide entirely on my own, nobody wrote any of it in any way, and you may not repost this anywhere without my permission or the permission of the Admins of MMOwned.com

Level 70 Priest Healing Gear Guide

I wrote this guide for my old guild to help them gear up their Priest toons once they hit 70. No, I have not leveled up a Priest myself. No, this is not all the best gear, but the best gear to get, judged on instance difficulty and level of gear. No, I do not want senseless flaming about me knowing nothing about Priests. Yes, I do want helpful, constructive criticism about my guide to make it better. Yes, I am Horde so I do not know the Alliance factions, nor do I care. I have based this whole guide on only a few hours of research about the Priest class so please, give me some lenience.

At the end of the guide I included a list of heroic keys needed as well as the instances you need to run for your first choice (the top selection on the gear part) and the second choice (the alternate selections). I also provided the enchants you can get (they may change situationally at later gear stages).

Always try to get the first choice, the alternate choices are usually not as good, unless I noted otherwise.

I tried to make the guide more interesting by adding multiple colours and spacing... wall o' texts aren't fun.
