IntroductionHow to Play Holy Priest in Shadowlands Pre-Patch

This guide is written and maintained by Jak, Healer for Lazarus Imperative on US-Illidan, author of the Holy and Discipline Priest Guides.

He is also the Host of the official World of Warcraft Mythic Dungeon International events. You can catch Jak on Twitter, Youtube and streaming on Twitch if you want to check out more of his content!

What has changed for Holy Priest?TalentsRaids Mythic+Shadowlands Leveling Perks
(52) - Reduces the radius that enemies will aggro you allowing you to move around enemies that would otherwise be blocking your path. This only works on Humanoids and Dragonkin type targets. It is easy to spam on multiple enemies so if you are fast you can provide skips for yourself and the group in key dungeons.

Casting on both enemies creates that Purple effect over their heads, reducing their aggro radius allowing you to slip by without drawing threat. Priest STEALTH......of sorts!Priest Covenant Abilities

Venthyr

is the Venthyr Class Ability for Priests. It is a 45 second cooldown that damages an enemy, reverses enemy damage to the group into healing on them, and returns mana to the caster. When a player receives healing via , they also receive healing as well. There are limitations to how much damage or healing will be reversed. For boss encounters dealing large aoe to the group, it will convert a small portion of that damage, not the entirety of it. In order to receive mana regen, you must reverse some damage or healing that the target produces. If a tank is kiting an enemy for example, you won't receive any sort of mana regen or damage reversal because the enemy is not actively engaging.
is the conduit that buffs . It's a simple boost that doesn't ask much of the player to maximize.
is the covenant signature ability and probably my favorite of all of the signature abilities that covenants offer. It has a 1.5 second cast that can take you up to 35 yards away. Priest is generally immobile and can struggle to cross vast distances quickly. This shores up that weakness extremely well and can be utilized for some easy skips in dungeons as well!

Kyrian

is the Kyrian Covenant Priest class ability. It features three parts. Your ability after casting immediately turns into the spammable , your converts into and each ability generates stacks, the former generates one stack per enemy hit and the latter generates 5 per cast. These stacks then explode at the end of their duration for . This ability is solid in a dungeon environment as it is deals good damage and is easy to rapidly build stacks for a burst of healing. The downside is dealing with enemies like Prideful which is one target and you cannot generate many stacks making it much weaker when you get into higher keys. In raids, there can be wide swings in how many stacks you can generate depending on the boss fight, meaning big variance in the .
is the covenant conduit. It has solid value in a 5 man environment where it is more consistent to maximize.
gives the which removes debuffs and is an additional heal. Its an excellent tool in dungeons where you are bouncing in between combat and frequently face certain debuffs that you cannot dispel as a Priest like Curses, Bleeds and Poisons.

Necrolord

Night Fae

is the Night Fae Priest covenant ability. It produces three fairies at once that can move to a new target depending on the spell cast. moves the Fairy that reduces a major cooldown on the target, applies 10% damage reduction and applies the final fairy that will regen mana if you are actively attacking the enemy. The cooldown reduction that Holy receives is toward which can have some value but can also have large downsides. If you are holding for specific events then this cooldown reduction could be irrelevant. In that case you could reduce the cooldown of a DPS and you're now in a covenant that increases others power at the expense of your own.
is the synergistic conduit for allowing you to cycle the buff on multiple allies. This conduit encourages you to reduce cooldowns for many targets which can be very costly mana-wise and has a large trade off of not running another potency conduit or covenant that would increase your throughput.
is the signature covenant ability and provides some strong movement speed which is generally a weak point for Priests. It can be utilized for quick bursts of movement but generally you won't be moving for so long that you get multiple blinks in, unless you're in a dungeon.

Choosing a covenantNecrolordNecrolordPriest Covenant abilityHoly Priest Soulbind PowersConduits

: Increases the healing by a sizable amount. Great to toss onto the tank or any allies who have bleeds or other debuffs to get them just that bit of extra healing instantly.
: Holy Priest loves Holy Words. More cooldown reduction to make your healing even more efficient.
: Increases duration and healing bonus of . Value is sizably increased in 5 mans if your tank is more self-heal focused (DH/Blood etc).
: Increases the healing of your next by a sizeable amount after casting any Holy Word, including .
: Is the covenant conduit for the Necrolord. Increases duration and damage.

: Fade damage reduction returns! And on-demand damage reduction is particularly sweet.

: While buffing is alright, raw damage reduction take a higher priority.

: Holy Priest isn't known for their shielding. While they could cast more of them in Shadowlands, the fact that there is no Holy Word synergy would put this very low on the priority.

Priest Conduit GuideHoly Priest Legendaries

: Buffs the healing of your like the azerite essence from BfA. Problem with this legendary is that there is such a long duration between each buffed that its nowhere near as consistent as the azerite trait it was made from.
: Causing to have multiple charges and to be improving your mobility. Fun legendary to utilize but not strong enough to see competitive play.
: Steadily nerfed over Beta to now be too weak to see competitive play.
: Allows you to share without losing out on the buff yourself. Solid in 5 mans to toss on to high powered DPS.

: So long as you're properly using and , you'll receive some good cooldown reduction over the course of raids or dungeons. Faster cooldown reduction on your and just means your healing becomes more efficient. Solid overall legendary for a variety of content
: Return of the "croak cloak" will revive you after entering with health depending on the amount you healed while in Spirit Form. Easy get out of jail free card for early progress, this is excellent for learning encounters without having to worry about costing the team a battle rez.
: Artifact trait turned legendary. Lives and dies by the tuning of the replicated healing that is provided.
: Good on paper, awkward in practice. Maintaining the stacks of the buff in dungeons is challenging with such a low duration. You're also less reliant on pure single target healing in dungeons anymore so there's more value in another legendary that increases your flexibility with more holy words. There is strong potential for this legendary thanks to the borrowed power between this legendary, and . Longer duration or making extend the duration would make this legendary much more consistent/potent.

Comentado por Wasselin"Holy Priest is one of the best healers to introduce to players new to the game or healing" Why though? They have the largest number of buttons for a healer and quite a few traps they can fall into.

Holy may have issues getting spots in mythic raiding/bleeding edge progression but we do fine in normal/heroic raiding. My guild has never asked me to switch and I won't as I don't like trying to heal as disc in a raid. I don't know what type of raiding you enjoy but if normal/heroic is fine then you may want to look for guilds like that and they do exist :-) good luckComentado por Acrivecif you're as good as Automatic Jak feel free to go holy.

However how is divine image going? I thought that maybe could have found some use in raids, but its not even mentioned. is it really that bad? I mean, is it because the proc rate, the healing it does...

good article :) I like to read that dungeons will feature more party damage tbh, most of the times in high bfa keys you are just spamming flash heals, because its high damage to 1-2 targets that other spells are not worth using xD so definitely this will feel good for holy priests

I really love this spec and I think its class design is great and hoping we can get to enjoy it in shadowlands m+ dungeonsComentado por WasselinOn beta I had a ton more fun in dungeons as holy priest than I did in BFA. I don't know if that's because of the AOE damage or just because the dungeons have a better design but I'm looking forward to it.

Harmonious Apparatus recipe is from the final boss in the raid. The only other legendary I'm considering is Xanshi. When I tested it Divine Image seemed too random and had a low price rate but it might be changed since then.Comentado por DugdogI am not sold on Focused Mending as it only increases PoM's total healing by like 18% at the max rank which isn't even attainable right now, and we will be looking at most at a 10% increase first tier. While with Emeri the option to exchange one potency conduit for a throughput trait doesn't really exist(or well haste% on defeating opponents is not really applicable) I am personally looking at both Theotar and Nadija for their respective final choice increases being potentially more interesting than the currently low rank conduits.

Also want to see for myself during leveling how much of an impact the travel time on the Necrolord ability makes, I am just not keen on an impactful heal having a chance to be dodged. Even if Venthyr throughput seems worse, as long as a targetable enemy who is dealing damage exists(and you usually need healing when you are being damaged :P) it will work, meanwhile I already see a few bosses where I will lose out on people hitting the boss or not even hit the boss with it as well as those who need healing and are taking damage not currently damaging the boss. Honestly Emeri's first trait turning it into a throughput CD seems more important that what the ability itself does, and is the main reason I am even considering it vs a proc based Mastery buff.Comentado por victoriawow

I've never seen him touch it on streamComentado por WasselinI don't ever catch Jak playing Holy anymore. I saw a video where he said he had fun with it in dungeons so I guess I just miss it.

I know one thing is for sure. No way am I going necrolord. I wonder what the overlap is between people who like the plague aesthetic and holy priest diehards?Comentado por DugdogI don't ever catch Jak playing Holy anymore.

I know one thing is for sure. No way am I going necrolord. I wonder what the overlap is between people who like the plague aesthetic and holy priest diehards?Comentado por SoifonHere is the thing that people need to understand and we need the help of streamers , too , that whenever this subject is brought up to tell them that most content is doable with their favorite spec. However , on the very top where competition is "fierce" and you need every advantage you can get and make the best out of it "meta" does exist for a reason. They are classes that can play around and within those tactics for fast clearing , skips and other tactics. People need to understand this because in an expansion or two this will become a bigger problem.

So , I repeat , as someone that played Warlock when it was very strong (Affliction , Legion) and when Warlocks werent the worst but 2nd to worst. You can do alot of the content. You have alot of streamers that played "non-meta" classes that pushed keys to 20s and way above. It can be done , however , what the non-meta classes cant do is compete with the "meta" at speed clearing the dungeons but it can be done in time.

I dont know how better to put it so I will say this. You can push as high as the meta classes and unless you want to win some competition finishing the key in time is enough. You can finish a 20+ if you play good enough with your favorite class.

I forgot the name of the streamer that played Discipline Priest with Andybrew and did 26s and 27s when they were really unpopular and people that were doing 15s or 16s and lower were dodging them when they were not bad. There are some very good players that stream and demonstrate that you can play your favorite class and spec and get very high.

Tl;dr: Unless you plan to get into a competition where how fast you can clear the objective you can do it if you are skilled enough with whatever class and spec.Comentado por AcrivecI don't ever catch Jak playing Holy anymore.
