Every Priest in WoW Forever learns 
Fear Ward and 
Devouring Plague, which only Dwarves and the Undead had in Classic. 
Divine Spirit and 
Lightwell move out of the talent trees as well, 
Shadow Word: Death arrives at level 32, and 
Prayer of Fortitude and the other group buffs now reach your whole raid.
Discipline becomes a healing tree built around 
Penance and 
Power Word: Shield. Holy keeps most of what it had and ends in 
Prayer of Mending, with 
Binding Heal added along the way. 
Shadowform halves the mana cost of your Shadow spells and no longer stops you casting Smite and Holy Fire.
Gnomes can be Priests now, and every race's Priests learn two spells of their own, listed at the end of this guide.
