Best Consumables for Healing Priests
Maximizing your performance in WoW Classic is all about consumables. There are a lot of them, usually they stack, and using them all can have a bigger impact than a full tier of gear upgrades.
Despite this, getting all of the consumables we will mention is extremely expensive, and as such, you should only use as many as you feel comfortable with.
Consumables come from a variety of sources, though the most common ones are crafted with Alchemy, or are creature drops and quest rewards. There are various types of consumables:
- Flasks — Persist through death and last a very long time, with only one flask able to be active at a time. Typically quite expensive to craft.
- Elixirs — Typically last a shorter duration than flasks, however, they disappear when you die. Elixir effects can be stacked except for with different ranks of the same elixir, or class buffs.
- Potions — The most commonly used consumable which can be used multiple times during or before a fight. These typically restore some resources or provide a powerful but short-duration buff.
- Food — Some food grant temporary buffs that disappear on death, much like Elixirs.
- Items — Items from various sources can provide elixir or food style effects.
- World Buffs — Many of these are typically quite powerful yet difficult to come by and should not be relied on, however they do provide a nice boost when they are applied.
