How much health does a level 30 Priest have in this gear?
A Dwarf Priest has 772 health and 352 armor with 1487 mana; a Undead Priest has 762 health and 356 armor with 1472 mana. That is Classic's level 30 base stats plus the selected gear, including random suffixes, with no enchants, buffs or talents.
