Holy Priest Gearing Guide

Tier Sets

Season 3 Tier Sets (Manaforge Omega):

Oracle:

• 2-set: Casting Prayer of Mending heals your target for X% spell power.
• 4-set: Casting Premonition of Piety or Premonition of Solace grants 2 stacks of Premonition of Insight at 100% effectiveness. Consuming a stack of Premonition of Insight increases your Haste by 1.0% for 10 sec. Multiple applications may overlap.

Archon:

• 2-set: Casting Halo reduces the cooldown of your Holy Word: Serenity and Holy Word: Sanctify by 5 sec and Resonant Energy additionally increases the healing of your Holy Words by 5.0%.
• 4-set: Casting While Power Surge is active, every 2 casts of Holy Word: Sanctify/ Holy Word: Serenity adds another Halo to the effect at 100% effectiveness, up to 2 times.

• Raiding
• Mythic+

Recommended Holy Priest Trinkets:

The current recommended trinkets are a mix of raid and dungeon trinkets.

1. Astral Antenna: This is a strong passive intellect trinket that also provides crit.
2. Diamantine Voidcore: Mastery trinket with an intellect proc that is especially strong in combination with the set weapon.
3. Loom'ithar's Living Silk: Trinket that applies a powerful shield. BiS Mythic+ trinket. Decent in raid but not BiS.
4. Signet of the Priory: Good 2 minute on-use trinket to use with cooldowns.
5. So'leah's Secret Technique: Good intellect trinket that grants an ally secondary stats.

Crafted gear comes with the benefit of being big item level upgrades but also embellishments.

Your best embellishment is crafting a two-handed weapon with Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension. This embellishment grants a lot of stats.

For raids you can combine this embellishment with the Writhing Armor Banding. This will double the power of your weapon embellishment. Don’t craft this without crafting the weapon embellishment.

Another good embellishment, which is arguably better for Mythic+ is Duskthread Lining: An embellishment granting you Versatility while above 80% health. A good effect, even though not very exciting, but still quite valuable (especially as a healer, since you’ll want to keep your health up as much as possible in any case).

The other pieces of crafted gear will mostly function to even out gaps for your stats and item level. Regarding the stats you want to have on your crafted off-pieces:

• For any raid craft, you’ll want to choose Crit & Mastery as secondary stats.
• For any M+ craft, you’ll mostly want to choose Haste & Versatility.

Reshii Wraps for Holy Priest

11.2 brought the addition of a new artifact cloak. This item is the only existing cloak this season and comes with a Fiber socket for extra stats. For Holy Priest I recommend using the Pure Precise Fiber (Crit). An alternative option is the mastery fiber. These fibers need to be crafted by a tailor or you can put in a work order to get it crafted.

Best D.I.S.C Belt & Miniature Titan Disc Effects

11.1.7 brought the addition of the new DISC belt. This belt is similar to the ring from 11.1.5 in that it brings special effects that can benefit your character. The item level is also higher than other items. This makes it an upgrade over using any other belt.

Unlocking the belt is done by running delves, these delves can be done on a lower difficulty and it should not take very long to get.

Recommended Titan Discs for Holy Priest:

• Raid: Critical Chain (or Electric Current).
• Mythic+: Critical Chain.
