I wish I could make a poll here. <cry>
Anyway, are Priests any good in PvM or PvP? I would like to hear your opinions on Priests.
I currently have a 13 Dwarf Priest and his damage is really beyond terrible. I am grinding my ass off to get him to 14 to upgrade Smite, but oh my god it is really hard. One monster per regen. Lame. ;/
I am wondering if I should keep going. Will it get any easier at high levels? I'm still rather new to this game and have a lot to learn.

Level as shadow or Disc. Makes life a lot easier. Priests were never claimed to be easy to level either.
And since you're asking in the PRIEST forums, I think most of us will say that we like priests... I do, or I wouldn't have played one for the last 5 years.

gets easier after 20. as far as oom after one pull... dude smite pull pain shield yourself (forget when you get it.) then wand. first points of talent should go into spirit tap. no more mana problems. i stress shield is your FRIEND and so are wands...i miss the old wand spec in disc it was pretty cool back in the day amirite?
edit to add: early on priest is ok pvp with enough stamina. pve wise priest realy becomes amazing depending on your leveling preference. shadow can make solo fast and can still heal any dungeon. even through outlands.
Ok, I will get spirit tap first thing when I level up. Thanks. So far I've put all my talent points into twin disciplines (4 points iirc). I was going to use
this
as suggested for Holy Priests and it says no points in spirit tap. <shrugs>
best class ever imo...
if u can keep on lvling until shadowform without bailing out (or even faster).. u wont regret it
Hmm, that's good to know. I certainly can keep going, I do have a lot of patience.
What about Holy Priests? Are they any good? I was going to go this route but now I don't know.

Heh you're right, I didn't think of that (about posting it in priest forums) but I didn't know where else to post that would be more appropriate. What forum would you suggest? :P

I tend to stay to the class forums really myself, I don't know about the other readers/writers here on WoWhead. I do think, however, that the general forums or the "pve" form would be an appropriate place to ask what other classes think of us as priests and leveling.
Since you're only at level 13, I wouldn't think it would be that hard to switch to another class. Also, remember that everyone is biased toward what they play. ha.

I like them, however low leveling is painful, and the spirit's regen nerf has hurt our low level regeneration by a lot.
Once you get higher and higher, you will see what the priest class is truly like. With meditation, shadowfiend and any other spec only regen tools (dispersion for example) then mana shouldnt really be an issue.

P.S. If you like reading, we got a old dusty topic with a lot of tips:
Do priests usually die alot at lower lvls?
The main points: Spec dps, keep a good wand and fight mobs 2-3 levels below you.
At level 80 being a priest is amazing and unique. I love it and have been priest for like two years. ^^

That's great to hear! :D
As for dying, so far I have zero deaths. ^_^ I had a few close calls, but no deaths so far. Most of it is due to my potions which I get from herbalism + alchemy. Those potions are awesome.
I will read that topic. Thank you.

Yes, WoW is very hard , that is, compared to watching TV.
If you're under level 30, you regen your mana so fast and can heal yourself so easily it's not even funny. Once you get shadow form, it gets "easier" but if you can't tough out the teenage years, you probably need to play a hunter to end your tears.
You took my paragraph out of context. Good job! (not)
I am way past my teenage years, btw.
I have never played a hunter and probably never will because practically
everyone
has one.

Yeah I love my priest:) and I think you should continue lvling your priest, because its an amazing class. I recommend getting a wand like said above and spirit tap. Priests can be pretty hard to lvl at first but it gets much better at lvl 20. Any spec can solo just pick up spirit tap for less downtime, my fave spec is disc simply because I love penance, and use my shield like crazy so I’m better going disc for a improvement on my favorite move, healing, and the other disc goodies I wanted to lvl as shadow at first but disc was just more of my taste:)
I never had a good time in pvp but I suck at pvp on every class its just not for me, I like raids/dungeons much better. I know there are a lot of priest who are great at pvp though i can't say anything about pvp I’m the worst at it even on my death knight /cry.
And I agree with nitefoxxy the wowhead priest community is great.

I rofl'd my ass off when I read this reply, because you have just confirmed everything Abzoloot was implying...
Just lol.
Anyways, priests are brilliant because of two spells...which happen to be the best spells in the game:
Mind Control
Mind Vision
