Best Gems for Holy Priest

We suggest using Elusive Blasphemite Icon Elusive Blasphemite instead of Insightful Blasphemite Icon 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 despite not stacking with Angelic Feather Icon Angelic Feather. Should you not want the additional movement speed, Insightful Blasphemite Icon Insightful Blasphemite is a perfectly good replacement.

1.2.

Best Enchants for Holy Priest

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.

As a raiding Holy Priest you will want to use Leech enchants when possible as it provides the most defensive benefit. The avoidance enchants are a bit more unreliable but still a suitable alternative.

The best weapon enchant for Holy Priests is Enchant Weapon - Council's Guile Icon Enchant Weapon - Council's Guile, which has a high variance in proc rate. Enchant Weapon - Authority of Fiery Resolve Icon Enchant Weapon - Authority of Fiery Resolve is a close second and is often a more reliable bonus as it triggers much regularly.

Should you find a specific encounter or dungeon has hefty movement requirements, you can also opt for numerous Speed boosts to assist. These include:

  • Wrist - Enchant Bracer - Chant of Armored Speed Icon Enchant Bracer - Chant of Armored Speed
  • Cloak - Enchant Cloak - Chant of Burrowing Rapidity Icon Enchant Cloak - Chant of Burrowing Rapidity
  • Boots - Enchant Boots - Scout's March Icon Enchant Boots - Scout's March
  • Epic Gem - Elusive Blasphemite Icon Elusive Blasphemite

Holy Priest Consumables Explanation

Flask of Tempered Aggression Icon Flask of Tempered Aggression should be used in raid and mythic+. Flask of Alchemical Chaos Icon Flask of Alchemical Chaos is a close second when using Tempered Potion Icon Tempered Potion as your potion, but is a much less reliable throughput increase.

For Mana return, Algari Mana Potion Icon Algari Mana Potion and Slumbering Soul Serum Icon Slumbering Soul Serum should both be kept available depending on the situation. While Slumbering Soul Serum Icon Slumbering Soul Serum is preferred; there are situations where you can not spend 10 seconds channeling and should instead use an Algari Mana Potion Icon Algari Mana Potion.

Tempered Potion Icon Tempered Potion is your recommended potion for burst healing throughput when mana potions will not be required as it shares a cooldown with mana potions.

Algari Healing Potion Icon 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 Healthstone Icon Healthstones do not share a cooldown with other healing consumables.

If available, Feast of the Divine Day Icon Feast of the Divine Day / Feast of the Midnight Masquerade Icon Feast of the Midnight Masquerade is your food of choice for some additional Intellect, or The Sushi Special Icon The Sushi Special for additional secondary stat. Your personal food of choice is Hearty Salt Baked Seafood Icon Hearty Salt Baked Seafood for the additional Mastery and Critical Strike. For a cheaper alternative, you can use Beledar's Bounty Icon Beledar's Bounty, Empress' Farewell Icon Empress' Farewell, Outsider's Provisions Icon Outsider's Provisions or Jester's Board Icon Jester's Board.
