Holy Priest PvP Stat Priority, Gear, and Trinkets — 12.0.5

The stat priority for Holy Priests in PvP is as follows:

1. Intellect
2. Versatility
3. Mastery
4. Haste
5. Critical Strike

Intellect is the best stat in all situations. Versatility is the strongest secondary stat at all times due to it increasing the damage/healing you do and, at the same time, reducing the damage you take. Though, you want to be around 30% Versatility and not overcap it since it will start to diminish from there on. Mastery will increase your overall healing output from Mastery: Echo of Light. Haste is a good stat as it reduces your global cooldown, increases your cast and channel speed, and reduces the cooldown of important spells, such as Prayer of Mending.

In general, Holy Priests want to get trinkets that increase their overall healing output. These trinkets can have a passive or on-use effect. The stats you want to be increasing are Versatility and Mastery. You want to use PvP items as much as possible since they have increased item level in PvP combat. This is what your final gear should look like, including set pieces and crafted items:

• Head: Thalassian Competitor's Cloth Hood - Crafted with Versatility & Mastery
• Neck: Thalassian Competitor's Amulet - Crafted with Versatility & Mastery
• Shoulders: Blind Oath's Seraphguards
• Cloak: Galactic Gladiator's Shawl
• Chest: Blind Oath's Raiment

Note: It is essential to be wearing two PvP trinkets. This will give you a Stamina and stat boost that will increase your survivability.

It is important to note that ALL tier sets are nerfed to 33% effectiveness in PvP. Although this nerf is significant, some tier sets are still important to acquire to maximize your chances to win. For Holy Priests, this is your tier set:

• 2-set: Casting Benediction has a high chance to summon a Divine Image.
• 4-set: Divine Image lasts for an addition 3 seconds and its healing and damage is increased by 30%.

In general, it is recommended to get both 2-set and 4-set for Holy Priests

Embellishments are bonuses that can be put on crafted gear. These affects can have a drastic impact on the game. You are only allowed to have 2 Embellishments equipped at the same time. Here are the recommended Embellishments for Holy Priest:

• Blessed Pango Charm gives your healing spells a chance to grant Versatility to your target. This is great for increasing the survivability of your team. Craft this on both rings or a ring and a neck.
