Priest Pre-Raid BiS in WoW Classic: gear before Molten Core
Vanilla WoW Classic 1.12 · x5 realm · wowx5.ruBefore your first raid (Molten Core), a Priest assembles pre-raid BiS — the best items from 5-man dungeons, crafting, reputation and world sources. On the WoW x5 server the grind is shorter thanks to x5 rates, but the list is the same. This guide is by slot and spec.

FAQ
How much +Healing does a priest need for MC?
Aim for ~400-500 healing power to comfortably heal your first raid; more is better and reachable via dungeons/craft on x5.
Is Shadow viable in raids?
Classic usually runs 1 Shadow priest (Shadow Weaving debuff). Shadow is great for solo/farm, but most priests heal.
Where to get Robe of the Void?
Drops in Scholomance — one of the best pre-raid healer chests.
