Classic WoW Advice
So I'm going to be playing Classic WoW as a priest with 4 other friends being Alliance side and on a PVP server.
I've played multiple private realms so I know what I'm in for with classic.
I have a raiding background but I'm not going to be spending enough time to be doing any top tier raiding.
I'm planning to do PVP, run high-level dungeon content and some minor raiding.
I'm pretty torn between whether to play Human or Nightelf
My argument for Night Elf is that some of the players in my group haven't played since Cata or have only ever played for a short time, they get the general hang of it but there will most likely be some accidental pulls here and there.
I want to be ready for any possible wipes with Meld and ress,wether out in the world or in the dungeons.
For Human I like their tasty 5% spirit, desperate payer is sweet too - but I really don't want to be kicking myself every time we have to do a run back to our corpses.
Let me know what you think :)

Let me light the way.
Personally, if you're never doing end content and you want pvp then play the best pvp priest in the game, undead.
They're the only ones with access to Devouring Plague which makes such a massive difference in pvp it's borderline cheating.
If you're sticking with alliance then NE is a good choice, the shadowmeld talent is great for keeping hidden whilst defending flags in AB, for example. I would go human, not for the spirit buff but for perception which is great for detecting those sneaky rogues / druids.
I'd go Human tbh; Perception is way too good in PVP! Of course, the Spirit is also insanely awesome to have, and if you want to rep grind for any of the other faction's mounts, Diplomacy will certainly help you out there with that 10% passive boost.
You've also got better Priest spells as a Human if you want to stay alive. Desperate Prayer is an instant heal (though 10-minute cooldown does suck) that will recover tons of health. Feedback will help screw over enemy casters, burning their mana and causing damage.
You're far more likely to not need to run back to your corpse in the world if grouping with other people btw, it would only really be dungeons and even then, maybe only the early ones. So far, even grouping with people that very clearly have zero clue of what is going on, stuff is dying too fast to wipe us in dungeons, including some crazy pulls I initially thought were going on do so.
You may not want to discount Dwarf though. Like humans, they also get Desperate Prayer, and then their unique ability is the fantastic Fear Ward! Stoneform is also excellent for PVP since it will give you some extra armor and make you immune to Bleeds, Poison, and Diseases - and an easy way to cleanse yourself of those currently on you.
Really though, horde for life =)
