Guest Bis list Report post Posted August 12, 2019 BiS list doesn't take into account updated items, since phase 1 will be patch 1.12 item values. This means better items for leg slot and ring. And several other options that are better or equally good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Momo Report post Posted August 19, 2019 Is the bis list right? I've seen some other lists and they were very different compared to this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

genghisconn 0 Report post Posted August 22, 2019 Thanks for putting this together, Niphyr! I noticed a handful of the other guides have a 2nd or even a 3rd alternative for pre-raid BIS. Is there any way you could throw in a 2nd best for each slot? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadokugel 0 Report post Posted September 23, 2019 Thaurissan's Royal Scepter seems to be superior to Spirit of Aquementas for the pre-raid BiS. It drops from Emperor Dagran Thaurissan in BRD. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey Genghisconn, you'll now find multiple options in each slot for the phase 1 pre-BiS!

Hey, both of these items are listed, with Thaurissan's being listed first. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Krateros Report post Posted October 20, 2019 Isn't a "+42 Healing Spells" waist better than Whipvine Cord and thus best in slot? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Carldio Report post Posted November 17, 2019 "Mana igniting cord" you put a DPS item on your BiS list for healers. Whipvine Cord is pre-raid bis and straight better Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Komehonor - Westfall Report post Posted November 28, 2019 The talent tree part of this guide really needs improvement. Cast knockback resistance is pointless for the holy priest. If you're getting hit there's a huge problem. The BiS guide too is really weak. I wouldn't recommend this guide be used by anyone as of November 27th 2019.

MitchJC 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2020 (edited) Hi. First off, thanks for this guide, it got me through the early days of priest healing, having come from Pally healing (What do you mean I can't spam Flash Heal?!). In order to try and find out which are the best spells and talents for a priest to use, I created a spreadsheet which calculates what the most effective or efficient spells are, based on an individuals Healing Power and talents. What I found is this guide was only accurate for very low Healing Power. Increases in Healing Power have a massive effect on what spells become the most efficient. Anyway, I've tried to make it so that others can input their own talents/ Healing Power so they can use it too. All the values have been tested and are accurate to within 1 (Blizzard do some strange things when it comes to rounding).

MitchJC 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2020 (edited) Further Explanation of Priest Healing Calculator There's 2 key questions we're interested in when it comes to healing spells. What's my most powerful spell? This is the spell you cast that maximises your healing per second (HPS). If there's huge amounts of damage going off, this is what you want to be casting. It's usually accepted that spells like this often come at a cost and it cannot be sustained for long periods of time. What's my most efficient spell? In long engagements, these are the spells you want to be able to spam, to get the most amount of healing out of how much mana you have. Now as you can see from the tables above, the lowest rank Renews have outstanding efficiency, but, do very little healing. Therefore, it becomes a balancing act. You want to be able to use the most efficient spell that does the right amount of healing. This will come down to your own choices in terms of talents as well as how much Healing Power your gear has at the time.

Guest Orto Report post Posted March 3, 2020 There's another defensive consumable which doesn't share the cooldown with the potions: the flame-deflector It's crafted by engineers but doesn't require engineering to use it. You can use it infigt when the e.g. greater fire protection potion is used up and still have the CD available for a mana/healing/.. potion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mølsted Report post Posted March 30, 2020 i see that both Mitch and the author of this guide, agree that the Healing power modifier for PoH is set to 0,2857, but testing this with just above 700 HP it seemt that the benefit of healing power actually is higher, would you care to explain me that math that you have done ?

Guest Ebolarama Report post Posted May 7, 2020 To add to this, you also have yet to provide Powerweaving as the viable 3rd option for raid. Grabbing power infusion and shadow weaving for your warlocks. You won't top healing meters BUT your utility is great overall. Rank1 Mind Flay and Mind Blast to apply Shadow Weaving allowing your warlocks to go full DPS and provide raid healing. 31/0/20 You never focus as a tank healer horde/alliance as a Powerweaver, you're a spot healer at best in case things go south. essentially you SHOULD be 1 Powerweaver 3 Disc in a raid team as PI is too valuable even more so endgame to take holy over it. Speed runs with melee staking is different, especially with using only 1 warlock and 1 Mage, it's the only time you have a holy priest. ideally you'd run (horde) 1 Powerweaver 3 Disc 5 RShaman 1 Rdruid (swiftmend tank healer) Ideally you'd run (alliance) 1 Powerweaver 5 Disc 3 HPaladin 1 RDruid (swiftmend tank healer) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
