Introduction
This guide was written by Heregellas.
Heregellas, or Alisza on his priest, mostly plays disc/holy priest or resto druid during progress. He previously raided in From Scratch, and in Impact as an officer & raid leader before joining Method.
Holy Priest brings a lot of sustain healing throughput and can spot heal quite nicely thanks to Holy Words. Their DPS is pretty good, with easy-to-maintain spells and, of course, the Power Infusion.
They don’t bring any damage reduction, though, and won’t be able to burst heal during regular windows, which their other spec will cover: Discipline.
What has changed
Changes to Holy Priest for The War Within
The new addition in The War Within is the set of Hero Talents; each spec will have access to another small special tree, shared with another spec, that will grant the player a new set of 10 points (+ the base one) that you’ll be able to take through leveling.
All 10 points will be granted to the player. The choices players can make will revolve around 4 of these points, being dual-talents nodes, in addition to the whole set of Hero Talents, since you’ll be able to choose between two of them.
For Holy Priests, you’ll have access to the Archon set (shared with Shadow), or the Oracle one (shared with Discipline).
