Season of Discovery Holy Priest Healer Guide

Master of both the Void and the Light, Holy Priest offers you a ton of different ways to play one of World of Warcrafts most iconic healers. Holy Priest excels in not only group healing but is one of the best single target healers as well. Priest is widely regarded as the most universal healer as its massive toolkit allows you to react to almost any healing related situation as long as you've got a comfortable knowledge of your abilities and how they function. Holy Priest also provides the massively important Power Word: Fortitude and Prayer of Shadow Protection buffs.

While certainly benefiting from being in a party finding groups as a healing Priest is likely never to be an issue as their massive healing output, powerful buffs and countless emergency buttons will make you extremely valuable not only for Dungeons and Raids but also any PvP Content be that Battlegrounds or open world combat.

Strengths

• Powerful combination of both single target and group healing
• Scales incredibly well with gear
• Powerful buffs

Weaknesses

• Extremely Mana dependent
• Limited soloing capabilities
• Vulnerable to crowd control/slowing effects
