The Priest is one of those classes that's favored by the developers itself.

It's a class that's seen very few to never any nerfs, and buffs are often applied to this class across the board so that you can not do anything wrong with this.

It's 1 out of the 3 healing classes this game has to offer and has a unique gameplay compared to the other 2 healing classes. Shields.

The shields the Priest applies makes the class shine on players that are experienced in combats that know what's coming and are able to anticipate, applying shields before the damage is done.

The Priest is the best healer class to play for PvP as well as for Mazes.

In mazes, demons exploding dealing damage is absorbed largely by its shields, where are other healers have to just heal the players back up.

In PvP, shields are quite annoying to get through for the enemy because their Brutality is less effective that way.

The amount of shields the Priest has acces to even on DPS aspect is ridiculous also. So even on a DPS aspect, its great utlity toolkit offers a lot to the team.

Have I mentioned yet 2 death breaking abilities that literally cheat death on certain game mechanics?

Yeah, the Priest is a class that should be in every group and raid.
