I myself leveled a Warrior Priest to 11 during the Preview Weekend this past weekend and although I don't really want to say it, it's kind of like playing a Paladin in WoW, just better.

@ Dassaace - Where the hell have you been? The graphical side of this game is above WoW, it has a much more realistic feel while WoW kind of teeters on the edge of a cartoonish look.

Also, the combat system isn't slow at all. Maybe in PvE when you are grinding mobs or what have you, but as soon as you get in the fray you will be lost in the flurry of weapons and bodies.

@Pingmeister - I really believe WAR is going to offer us quite a few things that are a few steps away from the "traditional healer," i.e. Even if you are playing a Warrior Priest, as it says in the original article...

"These headcrackers are far out in front when Empire forces go into battle, and all of their powers support that type of gameplay. "

With out using the talents at your disposal you are going to run out of Righteous Fury (RF), thus, you won't be able to heal anymore hm? So..you are still in the fray helping to put out some damage while you regen your Righteous Fury.


WAR looks promising, unfortunately we still have some time to wait before we can really get into the game :).
