I don't have her but the only time I met her, she spawned useless legendaries with good stats and she was dead the next turn. Ysera is way more powerful
I would only craft her if you are not missing any staple legendary cards for the other classes that you play (i.e. Grom, Antonidas, Tirion, Vol'jin, etc). I would craft those first.
Paletress isn't that great. 100% an RNG card. Fun card. However, she's definitely not a "must have" in any priest deck and you'll do fine without her.
Personally i use her in my Dragon priest along with Ysera (dropped Nefarian). As others have said, Paletress is a heavily RNG card and i think that is the way you should look at her. It's a 9 drop that can turn the tide of the battle in your favor (or, sometimes, against you). There are two scenarios where i use her (turn9+) over Ysera: When i see opponent has no obvious way of removing her (so the board is empty usually). That way i can force a hard removal on her, which is good since it usually means Ysera goes uncontested next turn. Plus i might possibly get a good legendary. Or the second, more fun scenario: i see that i will lose very soon, because my opponent is ahead and Ysera accomplishes nothing on the turn she is played. I had games where she summoned Tirion/Bolf Ramshield against face hunters having me at ~8 hp. Of course there were games where she gave me Lorewalker Cho or Stalag or something like that. But would Ysera help? Nope, i would be dead anyway. Oh and did I mention the times where she summons Ysera? The VALUE :)
And there is of course the fun aspect. She is way more fun to play than Ysera i think. If you are looking for some serious ladder climbing i would probably not run ther (or swap her in/out based on matches i get). But if you are looking to do your dailies and have some fun, i definetly recommend her. She is quite good even at slightly higher ranks (5-6ish).

I have to say she is 70% of the reason I usually concede when i see the priest portrait swim onto my screen. if you have at least one cabal, and one twilight and ysera then go for it imho. there are so many matches I spent working my way around everything including the bullshit steals just to go nea rinto fatigue and out pops that bitch whent here is nothing i have left to do about her. she is a win condition, that you won't always use, but IMHO she is as good for priest as justicar is for warrior if you plan to wait out the apocalypse through board control and fatigue.if you have other important priest cards, or you have a deck built around board control and building up a card advantage then she is icing on the cake. she won't win every match for you, but the close matches she can be what tips the game in your favor once you have exhausted your opponents resources.under those conditions playing against it feels outright unfair to be honest about it.
Edit: I have a question about her myself, as I never played priest and used ot be more of a hunter guy and then mage after hunter nerfs once I had an antonidas. back to hutner for facehunter to farm gold though, but anyways. I used to have a cabal or 2, but dusted them over a year agao and since gvg I haven't been getting classic packs usually so i still need to craft at least one of those. I only have one twilight, and no chillmaw. but i do have ysera, no alex though. but I have justicar, boom and sylvanas. along with the adventure wing dragons. cabal is vital for priest along with the shrinker but even without on occasion depending on who you face imho. so I will need to wait for one of those or maybe dust a few epics i don't plan to use like recruiter to make one if i do craft confessor. last week i had a dream that i pulled confessor from a pack and had a blast with her in spite of losing sometimes while trying to feel out the timing with her situational use. this told me upon awakening with the warm and fuzzy that I had that as much as i came ot loathe the card in others' hands... I desired to use it myself and could not deny it. would it be worth crafting her, with so few staple priest cards that i own? I don't even think I have that new 3 cost yet that docks a mana off each draw... but had been thinking about playing around with that one also and could dust nozdormu potentially if it meant getting that or being able to craft 2 cabal or 1 cabal and a second twilight along with her. I have none of the othe rpriest legendarie,s used to have a gold voljn or whatever but dusted it to make a different one since I was never into priest and his use was extremely situational at the time.
I'd say 1 Cabal is good, I crafted 2 and was disappointed later on, since I ended up removing both of cabals in my dragon priest. If you plan on playing control priest, then 2 Cabals are actually staples vs current meta.

ah that's good to know. I decided to try priest in the arena once, and it was after tgt release actually. i wound up drafting a cabal and a shrinker, and they were mvp in most of the matches I won lol. I held off on them till the right time to tip the board in my favor. I also had a mind control tech in that run iirc. but having the one cabal was pretty impacting, especially with all the low and mid minions I saw in the arena. laying down a cabal, shrinker, And adding a mechanical yeti to my side while removing it form the enemy's was pretty much game changing since there aren't a lot of removal for it except for flamestrike and consecration in arena. I think i wound up with 6 wins in that run, which isn't my usual that would be 3 or 4. not the most wins i had ever, but still above my typical especially when too lazy to use heartharena to guide my picks.
1 cabal does seem to be a staple card though these days. I also need 1 lightbomb and achenei. I have 4 or 5 legendaries and most of the epics I wanted from tgt but still plan to buy those packs for a while. so i think i will dust the less attractive epics from the set or some older ones i don't use like mini mage if I need to for remaining dust along with noz. bliz patches noz tricks so quickly these days and ninjas the patches so I know I won't ever get the 1600 dust off him lol that'll never be offered so he's not worth holding onto unless I begin facing a billion bots and ropers.
perhaps I'll enjoy priest enough with confessor and a cabal and lightbomb that I won't mind grinding out the second twilight with it for a while and it might get me higher ranks finally. I plan to use sylvanass with it, boom is still worth a slot in the priest deck? and one mind control and shadow madness. madness for agro and sledge. and against other twilights. iirc it 1 turn steals 3 attack and below. and i saved one of those from back in the day. plus i would like to imagine hobbs saying holy nova while I play one as a priest so i think I'm about to fire the game back up and craft a confessor. I am a sadist sometimes so eventually I'll figure out an extremely frustrating deck for people to play against which will motivate me to play rank more ha ha.

Not all who wander are lost.

"That belongs in the Hall of Explorers!"
Ysera is usually better than Palestress. Imagine that Priest vs CW games and how easy it is to destroy Palestress.
Palestress is just inconsistent and i regret crafting her. She could be ok for the Priest deck including both Ysera and Confessor.
One of the best priest players Zetalot always switches between her and Ysera in his control priest. Sometimes he runs both, but rarely.

My battlefield mechanic concept.
My best and worst HS moments after TGT launch!
I'm playing confessor in my dragon priest, and truth to be told you get great value 8/10 times. So I would highly suggest crafting her.
