Tier Sets
Season 2 Tier Set (Liberation of the Undermine):
- 2-set: Your healing spells have a chance to apply Insurance! to their targets that heals them for (1023.68% of Spell power) over 15 sec. Insurance! is consumed if an ally drops below 40% health to heal them for (614.25% of Spell power).
- 4-set: Holy Word: Serenity and Holy Word: Sanctify apply Insurance! for 10 sec to one target while Apotheosis is active. Your healing is increased by 1% for each Insurance! active on allies.
The 2 set bonus revolves around the new Insurance! effect. This bonus is the same for all healing specs.
The 4 set is a pretty strong bonus, for both single target & raid-wide healing.

Embellishments
Crafted gear comes with the benefit of being big item level upgrades but also embellishments.
Your best embellishment is crafting a two-handed weapon with Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension. This embellishment grants a lot of stats.
For raids you can combine this embellishment with the Writhing Armor Banding. This will double the power of your weapon embellishment. Don’t craft this without crafting the weapon embellishment.
Another good embellishment, which is arguably better for Mythic+ is Duskthread Lining: An embellishment granting you Versatility while above 80% health. A good effect, even though not very exciting, but still quite valuable (especially as a healer, since you’ll want to keep your health up as much as possible in any case).
The other pieces of crafted gear will mostly function to even out gaps for your stats and item level. Regarding the stats you want to have on your crafted off-pieces:
- For any raid craft, you’ll want to choose Crit & Mastery as secondary stats.
- For any M+ craft, you’ll mostly want to choose Haste & Versatility.
Cyrce’s Circlet
In patch 11.1, this ring is still going to be worn due to its high item level and throughput effects. Until it sees nerfs it will still be used. There are no changes to the bis gems for Holy Priest.
Patch 11.0.7 brought a new ring, Cyrce's Circlet. It is a ring with no secondary stats but extremely high item level (658 item level) when it is fully upgraded after 6 weeks. This makes it a really big upgrade for everyone. The ring comes with 3 slots for special gems that have different effects on them.
For Holy we’ll be looking at using the following gems:
- Singing Thunder Citrine: Stormbringer's Runed Citrine
- Singing Sea Citrine: Fathomdweller's Runed Citrine
- Singing Wind Citrine: Legendary Skipper's Citrine
