Introduction

Hey, I am Dana, I’m a multi class healer mostly playing Preservation Evoker, Mistweaver Monk and Priest. I am an analyst for Method and GM of the 2-day guild Drama on Tarren Mill.The guild has seen a steady incline in ranks, since being created in the first tier of Dragonflight, finishing our last tier around wr300.

As someone who doesn’t have a long standing decade history within the game myself, having to (re)learn how to play is something I have a lot of practice with. I’m very passionate about improving as a player and being competitive as a GM and pushing my guild. If you have any questions about the class, guide, getting (back) into PVE, running a guild, or healing in general, feel free to find me on my socials here:

Holy Priest

Holy Priest brings a lot of sustained healing throughput and can spot heal very well thanks to their Holy Words and Lightweaver. Their DPS is good, with easy-to-maintain spells and Power Infusion. It is slightly behind the other healers when it comes to defensives, but you can make some of this up by respecting mechanics and prepositioning in time. It brings a lot of good raid cooldowns in Symbol of Hope, Divine Hymn and Holy Word: Salvation.

For more information and active theory crafting, the Priest discord is a really helpful resource and a good platform for information, discussion, and questions: https://discord.com/invite/WarcraftPriests

What has changed

11.0.7 Holy Changes

There are no notable class changes for 11.0.7 besides the addition of the new ring Cyrce's Circlet. This ring is now BiS for everyone. There is a section under gearing to detail what gems we will be using in the new ring.

11.0.5 Holy Changes

Holy priest has had very little changes in patch 10.0.5. Dracthyr is now a playable race for priest which brings better tools for dealing with fights and better CC tools for mythic plus. There has also been a slight buff to Sustained Potency with it now pausing Apotheosis if you are not in combat.
