Best Holy Priest PvP Races
Alliance
Night Elf
If you plan to choose Alliance as your faction for Holy Priest in Mists of Pandaria PvP, Night Elf is your best option out of both factions. Shadowmeld is very dynamic and provides a lot of uses when in PvP combat.
Immunity to Projectiles
Shadowmeld as a racial ability can immune any incoming projectiles, which includes abilities that require some travel time like Mortal Coil, and can even immune instant abilities such as Blind.
Dropping Combat
Shadowmeld has the ability to remove combat off of your character, which can grant the player an opportunity to sneak in drinks during games.
Target Dropping
When Shadowmeld has been used, it will remove you as the target or focus target to prevent players from either attacking or stopping casts immediately.
Quickness Racial
Night Elf also has the passive racial Quickness, which gives a 2% chance for spells to miss including CC.
Horde
Undead
If you plan to choose Horde as your faction for Holy Priest in Mists of Pandaria PvP, Undead is your best option to choose from. Undead provides the racial, Will of the Forsaken, which is treated as an additional Crowd Control break.
Will of The Forsaken Racial
The racial ability, Will of the Forsaken, allows for an additional Crowd Control break against classes such as other Priests and Warlocks with Fear. An internal cooldown of 30 seconds is applied on your Malevolent Gladiator’s Medallion of Tenacity, which means using this racial without caution can make you susceptible to swaps. This grants additional opportunities to finish games, save your teammates in crucial moments, and to apply Crowd Control, such as Psychic Scream, to shift the state of an arena match.
Alternative Holy Priest PvP Races
Alliance
Human
If you want an alternative race while playing as an Holy Priest in Mists of Pandaria PvP, Human is a solid pick to choose from. Will to Survive is used as a trinket players can use instead of using the original PvP trinket purchased from the PvP vendors for Season 12.
Substitute Trinket
Will to Survive as a racial ability has identical effects as the current Season 12 PvP trinket, Malevolent Gladiator’s Medallion of Tenacity, which removes your character from any Crowd Control you are in. Having this racial be your substitute PvP trinket offers the opportunity to use multiple PvP damage trinkets, granting you additional throughput during your burst windows to enemy targets.
