Method Holy Priest Guide - Stats Races And Consumables

Stat Priorities

In general, you want to have as many stats as possible, no secondary is worth dropping item level for. At equal item level in general you prefer intellect, mastery and crit while trying to avoid haste.

Stat Ranking

Intellect > Mastery >= Crit > Versatility > Haste

Stat Outline

Intellect: Increases your spell power which boosts your abilities throughput.

Mastery: Echo of Light - a % of your direct healing is repeated over 6 seconds. Very powerful throughput when it does not overheal. It ticks every 3 seconds, and is NOT affected by haste.

Critical Strike: Increases your chance to crit. Mastery can’t crit by itself, but since the healing is based entirely on the healing done by the spell that proc’ed it, the HoT will be stronger if the initial heal is a crit.

Versatility: Flat out increases damage and healing done, while decreasing damage taken.

Haste: increases casting speed, reduces the global cooldown and reduces the cooldown of Prayer of Mending and Circle of Healing.
