As priests are mana based spell-casters, their abilities vary greatly. This is dependent on choices of specialization and tree selection. For instance healers focus more on healing, protection, buffing and the removal of harmful buffs, wheres Shadow priests are experts in direct and damage over time, as well as indirect healing.

A codex is an [[item]] that can teach a new or specific rank of a learned ability to a priest. Previously, these abilities used to be available only via codices; [[Patch 2.1.0]] made them available via trainer as well. [[Patch 4.0.1]] fully depreciated the codex system; they now appear as grey items with the note: "This item appears damaged by the elements and no longer readable."

== Racial abilities ==

=== Realm First! Professions ===
  
  +
Prior to [[patch 3.0.2]], priests got two additional spells according to their race, first at level 10 and then at level 20. In [[Wrath of the Lich King]], the [[racial]] system was revamped, standardizing the racials across all classes. Many of the old Priest racials were removed, while others became spells available to all priest (ex. [[Desperate Prayer]]). The table below outlines the racials prior to Wrath of the Lich King.

Burning Crusade PvE progression saw its share of guilds come and go. Four Horde guilds (Cynosure, Epidemic, Valence, and Lok Tar), and one Alliance guild (Bloodsky) would clear Black Temple prior to patch 3.0.2(Echoes of Doom, a.k.a. the WotLK patch). Bloodsky would disband prior to the release of WotLK. No guilds of either faction would clear SWP prior to the patch, with Cynosure being furthest progressed (M'uru killed). Following the patch, many guilds that were previously unable to push into MH/BT would find success with the major nerfs to the endgame content. The following is a list of important dates in BC PvE progression: <br>

== Brief History ==
  
−
The server has seen some tough times. The first four months are still remembered fondly by the oldtimers, with all the activity presented by reroll guilds competing for server firsts when Altar of Storms first opened. The population exploded to a "High" status very quickly. But with a cap on incoming transfers that lasted too long, and the lowbie [[alt]] that couldn't transfer their main characters here, players started looking elsewhere to transfer. By September and October 2006, the reroll guilds started transfering off. By late October, Altar of Storms' population was so low that it received the notorious label of a "Recommended" server. Since then, even though the population has rebounded, and progression is happening, because progression has happened at too slow rate a rate for many hardcore members of this realm, the old forum trolls have dubbed AoS a "Dead" server since September 2006.
 
−  
−
In spite of the past history, new players to Warcraft, casual players, and hardcore players from servers in worse shape appear to believe the server is fine, using the lively forum discussion and entertaining forum PVP the [[Forum_troll|forum trolls]] participate in as evidence. The early server struggles forged a close bond between the players. Former players who have transfered still lurk and post on the forums, swapping stories about that first summer when everything was new, or goading and joshing the new players about how no guild compares when giants such as <Hate Plow> and <Mindtrip> walked the realm. "Grats, DS!"
  
−  
−
Ever since Patch 2.3 was released in November 2007 with [http://www.wowwiki.com/Patch_2.3#Leveling%20Improvements Leveling Improvements] many players have started re-rolling new characters, and experimenting with different classes, giving the low level maps — especially the Alliance's [[Elwynn Forest]] and [[Westfall]] — a wave of tremendous activity. Alliance players will get their first introduction to the opposite faction, the Horde, who are quite active in the [[Moonbrook]] section of [[Westfall]]. The Horde routinely run Deadmines, and put hits out on the [[Defias Messenger]], [[The Defias Traitor]], and any Alliance member who dares engage them in combat. Likewise, low-level Horde players are often visited by Alliance players who spontaneously organize raids on their Trade channel to the [[Crossroads]] via the [[Booty Bay]] ferry in [[Stranglethorn Vale]] and [[Ratchet]]. The Undead starting realms are always being invaded by Alliance members who raid [[Brill]], sometimes taking potshots at the questgivers on their way to the [[Scarlet Monastery]].
  
−  
−
Regarding progression: Hordeside, '''Cynosure''' paved the way by killing [[Illidan]] just before Christmas 2007, and '''Bloodsky''', Alliance-side, has killed [[Mother_Shahraz]] and is working their way to [[Illidan]] for the first kill Alliance side and the only guild currently in Hyjal and [[Black Temple]].
 
−  
−
Numerous casual guilds are having a blast simply kicking around in [[Karazhan]], wiping on [[Zul'Aman]], and dreaming of [[Gruul's_Lair]]. Like duelling? For the Alliance, go to Ironforge, and right in front of the bank, you'll always find people dueling, saying hello to their friends, then kick their butts and ribbing them about it, publically. For the Horde, outside Orgimarr is a popular destination for the serious duelist. Many a casual Orgrimarr raid of Alliance players have been smashed by them.
 
−  
−
But all in all, Altar of Storms is a realm to see more world PvP than PvE. But, still you may catch a break and get a /wave by an ally instead.

== World PVP ==
  
−
World PVP does occur on Altar of Storms, and consists more than the random skirmishes while leveling up in [[Stranglethorn Vale]] or [[Tanaris]], or questing near [[Halaa]]. It can be a dangerous place, not knowing if the player of the opposite faction is simply trying to grind out levels, or is looking for a bit of fun. Guilds have to stick together, don't you know. Now that you can level quicker, that lvl 30 up ahead just might have a lvl 70 main character, so it is best to be cautious. Many a victim of a [[Gank|ganking]] has voiced his or her outrage, only to be met with an unsympathetic ear. PVP simply happens. When doing your daily quests. When you are strolling along Stormwind. When you are in Orgrimmar. Who knows if a rogue is waiting behind you? Things can get a little ... tense.

As priests are mana based spell-casters, their abilities vary greatly. This is dependent on choices of specialization and tree selection. For instance healers focus more on healing, protection, buffing and the removal of harmful buffs, wheres Shadow priests are experts in direct and damage over time, as well as indirect healing.

Codex abilities

A codex is an item that can teach a new or specific rank of a learned ability to a priest. Previously, these abilities used to be available only via codices; Patch 2.1.0 made them available via trainer as well. Patch 4.0.1 fully depreciated the codex system; they now appear as grey items with the note: "This item appears damaged by the elements and no longer readable."

Racial abilities

Prior to patch 3.0.2, priests got two additional spells according to their race, first at level 10 and then at level 20. In Wrath of the Lich King, the racial system was revamped, standardizing the racials across all classes. Many of the old Priest racials were removed, while others became spells available to all priest (ex. Spell holy testoffaith [Desperate Prayer]). The table below outlines the racials prior to Wrath of the Lich King.
