Levels 1-5
Initially, youre equipped with a ranged attack, Smite, and a healing spell, Lesser Heal. With money, you can learn your first buff, Power Word: Fortitude. Keep this active at all times, and feel free to cast it on others as a friendly gesture.
Begin combat at maximum range with Smite, spamming it until you run out of mana or the mob dies. Since Smite does not have a missile graphic, combat begins as soon as Smite is done casting. Your survival is heavily dependent on the amount of mana you have. For now, combat should always start at maximum health and mana. If you run out of mana, use melee attacks, but as soon as you can, get a wand, and then use your Shoot ability.
Also, remember that you have the ability to heal yourself and others, both in and out of combat. Keep in mind the amount of mana you have, allocating some for both DPS and healing. When grouped with others, its wise to play to your strengths and focus on keeping everyone healthy, as most other classes can deliver damage more efficiently and easily. As battles become more difficult, its essential that youre never hit or under attack, leaving you free to cast much-needed healing spells without interruption.
Also stock up on water when you can, as during these early levels you will need to drink after every one or two mobs.
At level 4, you can learn your first DoT, Shadow Word: Pain. Continue to open combat with Smite. But instead of spamming right away, walk backwards or strafe to create distance between you and the mob. While moving, you can apply the Shadow Word: Pain debuff to the mob. Keep this debuff active on your targets at all times. In unfortunate situations where you are fighting two mobs at the same time, keeping this DoT active on both mobs allows you to efficiently deal damage to both while addressing one mob at a time.
After the DoT is successfully applied, you can stop moving and go back to spamming Smite. For extra long battles, always remember to renew the debuff when it wears off.
Levels 6-10
At level 6, you can learn Power Word: Shield. Use it whenever you are under attack, or cast it upon yourself before combat begins. Either way, the shield should be up as often as possible, to help avoid damage and spell interruption.
Visit your class trainer for a quest at level 6.
At level 8, you can learn Renew, a healing over time spell, and Fade, which helps manage aggro. Keep renew on whenever you or someone else is under attack, as it heals over time, sometimes saving you the trouble of casting a bigger heal later on. When working with others, use Fade when you have aggro, to help avoid being hit.
Levels 10-15
At level 10, you can learn another ranged attack spell, Mind Blast, and Resurrection. Now would be a great time to start deciding what type of Priest youll play. See Leveling builds guide to help you decide where to put your first talent point.
At level 12, you gain Inner Fire that helps A LOT against melee enemies, boosting up your armor against physical attacks, and should be buffed upon yourself at all times.
At level 14, you can purchase Psychic Scream a must spell that will allow you to eliminate pursuit up to 2 mobs (5 at level 58). It is also a lifesaver when an add engages you while youre attacking a mob (it makes both of them run away for 8 seconds- enough time to kill one, shield/heal yourself and resume the DPS). Note however that the range of the spell is very limited as it will only affect mobs that are within 8 yards from where youre standing prior to unleashing the spell, making it mediocre at best while fighting 2+ ranged targets.
