Being a priest in World of Warcraft comes with a sense of grandeur, opulence, and understanding of the Light. Over the years, these ideas manifested in the various armor sets with shades of white and gold along with a dash of angelic halos. Priests have multitudes of options to choose from, be it classic sets from the vanilla days or the stunningly detailed options available now.
Many of the priest class’s best sets come from the old days, long before 3D assets began appearing. All the way back to the Vestments of Transcendence and its paper-thin design, the priest has always had beautiful armor to wear and choose from. Shadow, however, is the only spec players that have yet to see a good design for, and it requires a bit of creativity to transmog it right.
10 Avatar Raiment
In 2007, The Burning Crusade launched with an astonishing six raids, two of which drop tokens for one of the best priest sets in the game. Within Serpentshrine Cavern and The Eye are armor tokens for the Avatar Raiment, an angelic and very priestly outfit. It comes with a glistening, white hood with a glittering halo and golden wings on the shoulders. Turn the tokens into the Shatari Quartermasters in Shattrath City.
For the full look, go with the Belt of Divine Inspiration from Gruul’s Lair and the Boots of the Long Road from the Tailoring profession. The set matches perfectly with another piece of The Burning Crusade history known as the Staff of Immaculate Recovery. The top of the staff is the bust of a priest with a similar gear set and golden angel wings. The staff drops from Gurtogg Bloodboil in Black Temple.
9 Regalia Of The Exorcist
Those that favor less goodness and light in their priest transmogs might prefer the Regalia of the Exorcist from armor tokens within Throne of Thunder. It’s more of a dark and broody set with smoking candles melting into the shoulder pads and bells galore. Upon earning the tokens from the raid, turn them over to the Shado-Pan Quartermasters in Townlong Steppes or Isle of Thunder.
The full look includes Quet’zals Crackling Cord from the same raid and Falling Blossom Sandals from Tailoring. The belt comes with a 3D tome hanging from the side. For a staff to match, consider the Charmed Cierge from Naxxramas. It comes with three candles melting atop shrunken heads.
8 Soul Priest’s Raiment
Priests with a deeper connection to souls and the afterlife feel right at home in the Soul Priest’s Raiment. The shoulders are adorned with ghoulish faces that move and stretch as if trying to escape. They emit an eerie, blue mist which also sprouts from the helm and belt. Each piece of the set drops from various bosses within Blackrock Foundry.
Obtain the full look by combining it with Girdle of the Infected Mind from Highmaul and Cavedweller’s Climbers from Blackrock Foundry. It’s difficult to match this set with a weapon, but the effect is similar to that of the Mythic version of Spur of the Great Devourer. The tip of the staff appears to be moving, glowing vertebrae, similar to the spikes on the back of Gorefiend, the boss from which it drops. Find Gorefiend within the depths of Hellfire Citadel in Warlords of Draenor.
7 Ruthless Gladiator’s Satin Armor
Traditionally, PvP sets have always been known to be the edgier sets, filled with spikes and other sharp objects. Even healers get the same treatment, such as the Ruthless Gladiator’s Satin Armor for priests. The hooded helm comes adorned with giant spikes that surround the head. The shoulders and helm both emit a glowing, yellow smoke.
Ruthless Gladiator Quartermasters in both Orgrimmar and Stormwind sell the set. Additionally, it pairs with the Ruthless Gladiator’s Cord of Meditation and the Ruthless Gladiator’s Treads of Meditation, both of which drop in Baradin Hold. Not many weapons match the set, but the Staff of Draconic Pacification comes close with its color scheme.
6 Vestments Of Blind Absolution (Mythic)
One of the most iconic sets from The Burning Crusade, Absolution Regalia made a return in Legion with updated textures. While the all-new Vestments of Blind Absolution looks relatively identical, it includes many 3D pieces such as the gems on the chest and gloves. The Mythic version stands out the most as the faces on the shoulders cry out in holy light. It’s the first time the shoulders have been unchained, adding a powerful aura to the armor.
The helm includes a golden chain in place of the halo, appearing as an intimidating, holy punisher rather than an angelic being. The full set drops from various bosses in Mythic Antorus, The Burning Throne. The full set includes the Sash of the Unredeemed and Slippers of Enduring Vigilance, both from the same raid. It all combines well with the Goblet of Glittering Favor from Opulence in the Battle for Dazar’alor and the Warmongering Gladiator’s Endgame from PvP vendors in Stormshield.
5 Valorous Regalia of Faith
Those seeking a clean and less-extravagant set may find respite in the Valorous Regalia of Faith. It features a glowing, blue halo and shoulder pads with feint angel wings sprouting from them. Purchase the full set from cloth vendors in Wrath of the Lich King’s Dalaran with armor tokens from Naxxramas. Pair the set with the Boots of Forlorn Wishes from the same raid for the full look.
Beyond the halo and angel wings, the set shows its age. Spruce it up with the similarly-designed Antiquated Highborne Cinch from The Nighthold for an extra splash of 3D. The Staff of Restraint from The Obsidian Sanctum matches the color of the set fairly well.
4 Grievous Gladiator’s Satin Armor
One of the most menacing priest sets in World of Warcraft is the Grievous Gladiator’s Satin Armor. The color scheme changes depending on faction as Horde gets red effects while Alliance gets light blue. It comes with a dark hood and both shoulders a belt filled with glow holes and feathers. Every once in a while, the armor charges up in an eerie glow before sprouting large angel wings reminiscent of those from Diablo. When this occurs, the helm gains a spikey halo and the feathers around the set glow.
Obtaining the set is easy as the ensemble is purchasable from Acon Deathwielder in Kun-Lai Summit. The Grievous Gladiator Cord of Accuracy and Treads of Alacrity are purchased from the same vendor.
3 Vestments of Transcendence
The original sets from vanilla WoW are largely believed to be the epitome of Warcraft classes. The Vestments of Transcendence for priests is just that. It emits beaming light from the helm and shoulder pads. The shoulders also have banners that fall down over the chest. The design appears ancient in nature but doesn’t follow the same aesthetics as Ahn’Qiraj. Each piece drops from bosses in Blackwing Lair and Molten Core.
Being one of the classic sets, Transcendence encompasses all parts, including the often separate pieces of belt and boots. The set’s color scheme matches moderately well with Anathema, the priest class weapon that has the ability to change into Benediction. Unfortunately, the staff is no longer available, but the original priests who still have it know it makes for a unique transmog option.
2 Gilded Seraph’s Raiment (Mythic)
Few armor sets in World of Warcraft are as detailed, sophisticated, and regal as the Gilded Seraph’s Raiment. The Mythic version of the set is the most intricate with a golden crown, a large collar, and golden wings on the shoulders. The robe itself has golden feathers on the hips and shoulders as well as a large, 3D band around the forearms. There is even a 3D ring on the right hand.
Each set piece drops from various bosses within Antorus, The Burning Throne. It includes other pieces such as the Cord of Blossoming Petals and Sandals of the Reborn Colossus from the same raid. The set pairs moderately well with the Chalice of Light skin for Light’s Wrath. Pair this set with the priest mount from Legion and win any transmog competition.
1 Custom: Harbinger Of The Damned
Shadow priests need love too. Not all of the class sets evoke the sinister side of the priest class, so players have to get creative. The custom Harbinger of the Damned set takes cues from the warlock class to make a distinctly void look. The helm is an oversized hood with bony spikes and a violet glow. It also completely hides the face, evoking Pyramid Head from Silent Hill. The shoulders come with small skulls with purple feathers. As an added bonus, this full design includes two giant void eyes and a tentacle belt perfect for the spec.
This custom set includes the Slagbomber’s Hood from Blackrock Foundry, the Mantle of the Skyterror from Battle for Dazar’alor, and the Emberscale Gloves and Binding of Dark Heresies from Ny’alotha. The Kilt of Untreated Wounds comes from Heroic Icecrown Citadel and Shandai, Watcher of the Cosmos, comes from Mythic Ny’alotha.
