General Information

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 (11.0.5).

If you were looking for WotLK Classic content, please refer to our WotLK Classic Holy Priest gems and enchants.

1.

Best Gems for Holy Priests

The gems you will use depend on the content you are primarily focusing on. 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. Should you not want the additional movement speed, Insightful Blasphemite Icon Insightful Blasphemite is a perfectly good replacement.

1.1.

Raiding

The Raid gemming prioritises Critical Strike and Mastery.

You should use Elusive Blasphemite Icon 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 Icon Deadly Emerald/Deadly Onyx Icon Deadly Onyx/Deadly Sapphire Icon Deadly Sapphire/ Masterful Ruby Icon Masterful Ruby. Fill in remaining sockets with Masterful Ruby Icon Masterful Ruby.

1.2.

Dungeons

The Raid gemming prioritises Critical Strike and Haste.

You should use Elusive Blasphemite Icon 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 Icon Deadly Emerald/Deadly Onyx Icon Deadly Onyx/Deadly Sapphire Icon Deadly Sapphire/ Quick Ruby Icon Quick Ruby. Fill in remaining sockets with Quick Ruby Icon Quick Ruby.

Best Enchants for Holy Priests

Slot Enchantment
Weapon Enchant Weapon - Authority of Fiery Resolve Icon Enchant Weapon - Authority of Fiery Resolve
Cloak Enchant Cloak - Chant of Leeching Fangs Icon Enchant Cloak - Chant of Leeching Fangs
Chest Enchant Chest - Crystalline Radiance Icon Enchant Chest - Crystalline Radiance
Bracers Enchant Bracer - Chant of Armored Leech Icon Enchant Bracer - Chant of Armored Leech
Legs Daybreak Spellthread Icon Daybreak Spellthread
Boots Enchant Boots - Scout's March Icon Enchant Boots - Scout's March
Rings Enchant Ring - Radiant Critical Strike Icon Enchant Ring - Radiant Critical Strike Magnificent Jeweler's Setting Icon Magnificent Jeweler's Setting (adds up to 2 sockets to a Ring or Neck)

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 Icon Enchant Bracer - Chant of Armored Speed to Wrist and the Elusive Blasphemite Icon Elusive Blasphemite gem.

Consumables for Holy Priests

3.1.

Best Flasks and Potions for Holy

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.

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.

3.2.

Best Food for Holy

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.

3.3.

Weapon Runes

You should apply Algari Mana Oil Icon Algari Mana Oil to your weapon.
