Playing solo, they're one of the slowest levelers in the game.
Once you're able to use the Looking For Dungeon system, you can level up pretty good as a healer.

Right so I'm new to his game, well will buy soon. But I want to level a priest and was just wonderig are they easy for a new player to level up sort of quickly. Answers would be greatly appretiated. Also if they are okay to level does anyone have a leveling video or guide thing of the right things to do and stuff.
Thanks
Deathwish
There are several guides in the "
Helpful Threads: Read Before Posting
" Section. In PARTICULAR, you may find the
Energizer thread
of interest. I'm leveling up another priest on a separate realm than my primary characters, and I will say from experience that the ideas in this thread are fantastic! I'm at lvl 38 and still going strong hardly OOMing!

Slowest to level? Really? Huh, guess someone forgot to tell me that...
After taking the time to READ the
Energizer thread
I'm absolutely flying through the levels. Don't waste your time going shadow until you at least get something you can spam - spec Holy and get
Glyph of Smite
. You can kill things quickly and efficiently and still heal (or dps) dungeons without any trouble at all.

'Slowest to level' is like saying 'cleanest dirt'. Leveling is pretty quick for all classes these days. Don't worry about playing a class that levels slightly faster, just pick one that appeals to you. Your first character will be slow to level anyways being that you're new.

Many are now leveling using the LFG system, which is clearly several times faster to queue as a healer or a tank. If you level this way, you can get queues much faster than as DPS. In this way, it can be one of the fastest leveling classes. :-)

by spec and !@#$ what do you mean :S means nothing to me ;P
When you reach level 10 you will be given your first talent point. Each level you gain after that will rewards you with another talent point. These points can be spent in any of your 3 talent trees. A talent 'spec' (or specialization) is the way you assign and configure those points into your available trees. The priest's three talent trees are Discipline, Holy, and Shadow. Discipline and Holy revolve mainly around healing, while Shadow revolves around increasing the amount of damage your shadow magic spells will do.
Spend your talents wisely, because it costs increasingly larger amounts of gold each time you reset your talents. A specialization is exactly what it sounds like, so you should max out each desirable talent instead of spreading your points thinly across all talents.
Plan ahead. Look at the Energizer guide for the points you will want to pick up
BEFORE
you start spending your points. Look at other talent specs to see what's popular and effective and
READ THE TOOLTIPS
so you realize
why
they're desirable.
Good luck! We're here to help if/when you end up buying the game.

Go level a warlock, paladin, or mage, and then tell me that priest levels faster...

My priest levelled much faster than my afflic lock. 3-shotting mobs with the energizer spec is fun!
