Dipping my toe into SOD

Hi guys.
Better late than never i suppose.
I’m planning on creating a priest in SOD but I have a few questions.
I want to create a Shadow Priest. Is the priest in SOD like in Era? Am i expected to heal? Is SPRIEST viable for levelling and endgame>

Thanks for reading

No, you’re not expected to heal. You can play whatever you want.

There was a cheese strat for raids where you just bring a bunch of s priests and 0 healers. Dunno if that’s still viable.

I am maining a spriest and we are very viable, we might not do top damage but its fun to play

Okay so I cant actually create a character on Wild Growth?
Apparently character creation is disabled

Yes, Blizzard are going through a merge atm and some servers are locked. Locking the only PVE server is a stupid move on their part, sadly you’ll just have to wait.
