When to use this Spec

This is the default loadout going into any dungeon. You need to adjust class talent tree based on the utility needed for the affix and dungeon combo. To make your life easier, Dungeon specific talent loadouts are available in the Dungeon section.

Gameplay Altering Talents

Discover all talents that significantly alter your gameplay within the Spec and Class Talent trees. This section gives a concise overview of these talents and their applications but for a more detailed look check out the Rotation and Deep Dive sections below.

Spec Tree

  • Voice of Harmony
    • This crucial talent restores harmony to the flow of your healing rotation as it allows Prayer of Mending and Holy Fire to reduce the cooldown of your Holy Word spells, exactly like all your other core rotational spells.
  • Lightweaver
    • This talent changes your rotation in a way that you are casting Heal as an emergency spell, as it does the most healing and has a short cast time.
  • Trail of Light
    • An important talent to utilize, as it introduces a new mechanic to the class by turning your Flash Heal and Heal into multi target spells. You need to think about whom you target with your Flash Heal and Heal, and in which order, as they also heal your previous target.
  • Empyreal Blaze
    • The talent significantly increases the amount of Holy Fires you can cast during a dungeon and offers a way to keep up your damage while moving, since the extra Holy Fires are instant.
  • Burning Vehemence
    • Transforms Holy Fire into your most powerful damage spell in any scenario, allowing you to add meaningful damage in AoE pulls.
  • Miracle Worker
    • Enables you to prepare effectively for critical moments by granting you an additional charge of your healing Holy Words. This greatly enhances the value of the Holy Priest's core cooldown reduction mechanic, as you can now retain one charge for emergencies.
  • Guardian Angel
    • Enables you to use Guardian Spirit more frequently, greatly easing difficult encounters.
  • Divine Image
    • Rewards you for planning ahead with your Holy Words. The Naaru is empowered by each Holy Word you cast, but the empowerment only lasts for a short duration.

Class Tree

  • Phantom Reach
    • Increases the range of your spells to 46 yards, giving you a significant advantage. This allows you to outrange certain Mythic+ mechanics or continue healing your teammates even if the party spreads out.
  • Surge of Light
    • This talent significantly helps with mana management and mobility, providing you with an additional recovery tool while on the move.
  • Twins of the Sun Priestess
    • You also gain the effects of Power Infusion when you cast it on an ally.
  • Protective Light
    • In combination with Binding Heal and Surge of Light, this talent provides you with an easily accessible 10% damage reduction.
  • Translucent Image
    • Adds a new but weak defensive ability to the Priest class toolkit. However, when combined with Protective Light, it could save your life!
  • Rhapsody
    • This talent turns Holy Nova into a small AoE damage cooldown, but it requires you to be in melee range, so use it cautiously.

Hero Talent Tree

  • Incessant Screams
    • Your Fear recasts after a short duration stopping all casts again.
  • Word of Supremacy
    • Only Increases the amount of stamina you gain from your Class buff.

Rotation

Patch 11.1.5 - Nightfall
Holy Priest

Tier Set

  • 2-Set: Your healing spells have a chance to apply Insurance! to their targets that heals them for (1023.68% of Spell power) over 15 sec. Insurance! is consumed if an ally drops below 40% health to heal them for (614.25% of Spell power).
  • 4-Set: Holy Word: Serenity and Holy Word: Sanctify apply Insurance! for 10 sec to one target while Apotheosis is active. Your healing is increased by 1% for each Insurance! active on allies.

Priority List

For Healing

  1. Cast Prayer of Mending on Cooldown.
  2. Cast Heal if Resonant Words and Lightweaver are active.
  3. Cast Holy Word: Serenity if at 2 charges and you do not have Resonant Words active.
  4. Cast Holy Word: Sanctify on Cooldown if there is AoE healing to be done, people are stacked, and you do not have Resonant Words active.
  5. Cast Flash Heal to generate Lightweaver stacks.
  6. Cast Holy Word: Serenity if people require enough single target healing and you do not have Resonant Words active.
  7. Cast Holy Nova if you have 15 or more stacks of Rhapsody and there is AoE healing to be done and people are stacked.
  8. Cast Heal to reduce the Cooldown of Holy Word: Serenity.
  9. Cast Renew on movement globals. (Skip this if you run into mana issues)

For Damage

  1. Cast Holy Fire on Cooldown
  2. Cast Holy Word: Chastise on Cooldown
  3. Cast Holy Nova if at max stacks
  4. Cast Holy Nova if 5 or more targets.
  5. Cast Smite
  6. Multi-DoT with Shadow Word: Pain on movement globals

Cooldowns

Halo

  • As archon holy priest Halo becomes your main cooldown make sure to position properly and always be aware that you need to take advantage of the massive damage this spell does as well.

Divine Hymn

  • With the recent changes to Divine Hymn scaling within dungeons, it has become a potent cooldown. Maximizing this cooldown is all about making use of the increased healing taken buff on the group afterwards!

Apotheosis

  • Apotheosis is your biggest output cooldown for both damage and healing. Use it as often as possible to reset the cooldowns of your Holy Words and save Mana. During Apotheosis, prioritize casting Flash Heal, as it reduces the cooldown of Holy Word: Serenity the most.

Deep Dive

Patch 11.1.5 - Nightfall
Holy Priest

Lightweaver

  • Properly minmaxing this talent increases not only your direct healing output but also the amount of Holy Words you can cast over the course of a dungeon. Try to make playing this talent a habit of yours, so you don't have to constantly think about it since this is a pretty simple talent.

Optimizing Power Infusion

  • While Power Infusion is your spell, the optimal usage is to prioritize your teammates' benefit over your own. To achieve this, track your party members' offensive cooldown uptime. It is recommended to use addons or WeakAuras for this, as discussed in the Addon section, or simply communicate with your teammates and ask them to request it at the exact time they need it.

Understanding Mechanics

Rotational min-maxing is just one aspect of mastering a specialization, but there are numerous other key mechanics that influence your performance. Use the following guides to improve them.

Stat Priority

Patch 11.1.5 - Nightfall
Holy Priest

Understand your secondary stat priority and the tertiary stats needed for optimal performance during Mythic+ dungeons as a Holy Priest. For more detailed information, visit the Stats and Attributes guide.

The conclusion here is that you want to equip the highest item level generally.

All secondary stats are affected by diminishing returns. Click here to learn more!

Tertiary

  • Avoidance - Reduces damage taken from AoE effects.
  • Leech - Returns a portion of your damage and healing done as healing to you. (Excludes self healing)
  • Speed - increases movement speed. (Does stack with other movement speed abilities)

The only time you should think about picking a lower item level is if it has Leech or Avoidance. Speed is nice to have, but you should generally ignore that stat.

Here is a showcase of how powerful Leech is for a Healer:

Farmable Alternatives

Due to the way stat weights work for Holy Priests, there isn't a strict best-in-slot list. Although it is theoretically possible to obtain items with all the correct Tertiaries, doing so requires extraordinary luck or several human lifespans because of the weekly reset system in World of Warcraft.

Trinkets

Below you can find active and passive alternatives to our recommended trinkets. Do note that some trinkets are better than others depending on the dungeon.

Passive Trinket alternatives

  • Mister Pick-Me-Up
    • A strong passive healing option.

Embellishments

  • Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension
    • Very strong stat stick that gives you a high amount of a random secondary stat that changes every 8 seconds.

Remaining Sparks

  • Crafted items are 636 item level and regular items are 639 on max item level, therefore, it's not beneficial to equip crafted items outside of your 2x embellishments unless you don't have access to other high item level gear on that slot.

Races

Patch 11.1.5 - Nightfall
Holy Priest

For min-maxing a Holy Priest in Mythic+ Dungeons, different racial traits can provide a tremendous benefit to your characters. If this is not your top goal, picking a race that fits your style works just as well.

  • Is very valuable because you can dispel yourself or remove dangerous bleed effects.
    • Removes all magic, bleed, poison, and disease effects and reduces physical damage taken.
  • Shadowmeld -- Night Elf
    • Turns you invisible, any action, taking damage, or moving breaks this effect.
    • Use-cases:
      • Run past basically any mob and then cast Shadowmeld to make them reset. Even works on mobs that have stealth detection if you get enough distance before you Shadowmeld.

Recommendation

It is highly recommended to play a Dwarf this season! The higher the keys you run, the more essential Stoneform becomes in certain dungeons, such as Siege of Boralus and others.
