Tier Sets
Season 1 Tier Set (Nerub’ar Palace):
- (2) Set Bonus: Serendipity is 10% more effective.
- (4) Set Bonus: Heal, Flash Heal, and Prayer of Healing have a 50% chance to cast again at 35% effectiveness.
The 2 set bonus is a very simple bonus, quite minor by itself, but which will increase its value with the 4p.
The 4 set, a pretty strong bonus, for both single target & raid-wide healing. Do note that the additional cast will proc Serendipity by itself at a halved effectiveness, thus increasing the value of the 2p at the same time.

Trinkets
Recommended Holy Priest Trinkets:
- Unbound Changeling: This trinket is back from Shadowlands, reclaiming it’s BiS spot once again. It uses food buffs to change stat buffs, for Holy you will want to go with either Crit or Mastery.
- Creeping Coagulum: An on-use trinket that redirects a part of your healing to feed the coagulum. When it is fully stacked it does a burst of healing.
- Empowering Crystal of Anub’Ikkaj: A pretty solid stats trinket thanks to its great uptime.
- Gale of Shadows: A pretty strong stat trinket (especially in M+).
Embellishments
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.
Cyrce’s Circlet
Patch 11.0.7 brings a new ring, Cyrce's Circlet, similar to the Onyx Annulet from Dragonflight patch 10.0.7. It is a ring with no secondary stats but extremely high item level (658 item level) when it is fully upgraded after 6 weeks. This makes it a really big upgrade for everyone. The ring comes with 3 slots for special gems that have different effects on them.
For Holy we’ll be looking at using the following gems:
- Singing Thunder Citrine: Stormbringer's Runed Citrine
- Singing Sea Citrine: Fathomdweller's Runed Citrine
- Singing Wind Citrine: Legendary Skipper's Citrine
