I suppose one of the biggest differences between PvP and PvE players would be wealth, at least from what I've heard from other PvP players.

Myself being a Holy/Disc Priest, I find myself being ganked and wasted much more often, with less living time on the battlefield. While I'm sure it's annoying as hell when I die that my Spirit of Redemption heals nearby party members, I'm by no means a Battle Priest. :(

I'm about to be a certified EMT, I like keeping others alive, and the party moving. Yes, CTF is ****ing awesome, but it's come to a point now where when you finally *DO* hit level 60, there's so many other good players out there it can really be daunting.

There's also tons of instances I have yet to do. I want to explore them all now that I've hit 60, take my time, and actually read the quests, not "OK, now I walk over to this thingy and do what again???".

For that reason, and for purposes of getting cash/mats to level my Engineering up to 300 (for repair bot/gadgets) I'm an instance-specced healbot.

Shadow Priests are pretty ruthless, and have some great abilities, but if I wanted to be a combat character, I'd pick a Shaman, or something that is a little more offensively specialized. :p

A little of both for me.

Mainly just some in Holy to boost my healing, and the rest in Retrib for Soc+Crit for PvP.

If your a priest, you are likely everyone target in PvP, "Take out there healer and their dead"

Don't worry though once you do explore mainly all the instances, it will sooner or later become, "Hey let's farm this place for my gear" or something similar.

If you are gonna try to give yourself a challenge and really enjoy the instance, I suggest getting some competent players in your party to enjoy it rather then have the urge to just hearthout.

PVP and im a disc/shadow priest thank you very much. And i was ranked 3rd in the 30s wsg under two warriors. Priests can be quite possibly the more powerful of the classes in pvp only if you have the will to go through with fighting day after day to see flaws in players' fighting styles.

That's because you probably kill low level people.

Two people in my guild are from PVE servers. They just simply hated end game stuff to do so they re-rolled on a pvp server and so far no complaints. Getting ganked puts hair on your chest.

... Or because you're not a Holy/Disc Specced Instance Priest? :rolleyes

I love people that think they're badass because they kill a Priest rezing a group that just wiped and is trying to retreat. So ****in cool. :angry
