Holy Priest Healing Gems, Enchants, and Consumables — The War Within (11.1.0)
On this page, we list the best gems, enchants, flasks, potions, and food you can get for your Holy Priest, based on your stat priority. We also give budget alternatives. This page is updated for World of Warcraft — The War Within (11.1.0).
If you were looking for WotLK Classic content, please refer to our WotLK Classic Holy Priest gems and enchants.
Best Gems for Holy Priests
The gems you will use depend on the content you are primarily focusing on. We
suggest using Elusive Blasphemite instead of
Insightful Blasphemite, as the value from the Insightful gem is quite
small. The added bonus from an increase in movement speed is much more impactful
to our throughput and survival. Should you not want the additional movement
speed,
Insightful Blasphemite is a perfectly good replacement.
Raiding
The Raid gemming prioritises Critical Strike and Mastery.
You should use Elusive Blasphemite in one socket. Ensure you
have one gem of each type in other sockets to max out the effect of the gem, ideally
Deadly Emerald/
Deadly Onyx/
Deadly Sapphire/
Masterful Ruby. Fill in remaining sockets with
Masterful Ruby.
Dungeons
The Raid gemming prioritises Critical Strike and Haste.
You should use Elusive Blasphemite in one socket. Ensure you
have one gem of each type in other sockets to max out the effect of the gem, ideally
Deadly Emerald/
Deadly Onyx/
Deadly Sapphire/
Quick Ruby. Fill in remaining sockets with
Quick Ruby.
Best Enchants for Holy Priests
Slot | Enchantment |
---|---|
Weapon | ![]() |
Cloak | ![]() |
Chest | ![]() |
Bracers | ![]() |
Legs | ![]() |
Boots | ![]() |
Rings | ![]() |
Neck & Rings | ![]() |
As a Holy Priest, stats are so close together for healing that you are largely free to use other stat enchants on rings if you prefer them. Mastery for Raiding and Haste for Dungeons are also good alternatives.
Should you find a specific encounter or dungeon has hefty movement
requirements, you can also opt for numerous Speed boosts to assist. These
include Enchant Bracer - Chant of Armored Speed to Wrist and the
Elusive Blasphemite gem.
Consumables for Holy Priests
Best Flasks and Potions for Holy
Flask of Tempered Aggression should be used in raid and mythic+.
Flask of Alchemical Chaos is a close second when using
Tempered Potion as your potion, but is a much less reliable throughput
increase.
For Mana return, Algari Mana Potion and
Slumbering Soul Serum
should both be kept available depending on the situation. While
Slumbering Soul Serum is preferred; there are situations where you can
not spend 10 seconds channeling and should instead use an
Algari Mana Potion.
Tempered Potion is your recommended potion for burst
healing throughput.
Algari Healing Potion acts as your healing potion. Each use will
incur a 5-minute cooldown, but multiple can be consumed in an extended boss
fight. In addition, a Warlock's
Healthstones do not share a
cooldown with other healing consumables.
Best Food for Holy
Your personal food of choice is Hearty Salt Baked Seafood for the additional Mastery and Critical Strike.
Alternatively, if available,
Feast of the Divine Day /
Feast of the Midnight Masquerade is your food of choice
for some additional Intellect.
Weapon Runes
You should apply Algari Mana Oil to your weapon.
