Planning a TBC Priest build
Many builds put 41 points or more into one tree to reach its deepest talent, then spend the remaining 20 points on the strongest talents near the top of a second tree. Points in the first few tiers are cheap and often give flat bonuses, so "dipping" into another tree is usually better than spreading points evenly.
If you are levelling, check the required level in the summary bar: it tells you the level at which the build is complete (your number of points plus 9). Use Copy build link to save the build, and plan a second one for another role.

Frequently asked questions
How many talent points does a TBC Priest have?
A level 70 Priest in The Burning Crusade has 61 talent points: the first at level 10 and one more each level after that.
What are the Priest talent trees in The Burning Crusade?
The Priest has three trees: Discipline, Holy and Shadow. The deepest talent of each is Pain Suppression (Discipline), Circle of Healing (Holy) and Vampiric Touch (Shadow), and each needs 40 points spent in its tree first.
Can a Priest take two 41-point talents?
No. Reaching a 41-point talent uses 41 of your 61 points, which leaves 20 for the other two trees. That is why most TBC builds are one deep tree plus a few useful talents from a second tree.
How do I share my TBC Priest build?
Click "Copy build link" above the trees. The link stores every point you spent, so it opens the same build for anyone. Your last Priest build is also kept in your browser.
