Holy Priest Midnight Stats, Races and Consumables Guide

Stat Ranking

Item level is by far the biggest upgrade, especially early on in the tier, as it increases your intellect. After that you can balance it out more by following this priority:

• Raid: Crit > Mastery > Versatility > Haste
• M+: Haste > Versatility = Crit > Mastery

The Mythic+ stats are aimed at improving your DPS & survivability, which are both key in dungeons. Our mastery is very powerful in raid but not so much in M+ so you’ll want to prioritise other stats.

Stat Outline

Intellect: Increases your spell power, which boosts your abilities healing and damage.

Mastery: Echo of Light - A % of your direct healing is repeated over 6 seconds. Very powerful throughput when it does not overheal. It ticks every 3 seconds, this isn’t affected by haste. Also increases the healing of Renew.

Critical Strike: Increases your chance to crit. Mastery can’t crit by itself, but since the healing is based entirely on the healing done by the spell that proc’ed it, the HoT will be stronger if the initial heal is a crit.

Versatility: Flat out increases damage and healing done, while decreasing damage taken.

Haste: Increases casting speed, reduces the global cooldown and the cooldown of Prayer of Mending.

Dracthyr is the strongest option for both Alliance and Horde. It provides improved movement, which Priests always need, and adds extra crowd control.

Alternatives:

• Horde: Goblin for the extra mobility from Rocket Jump.
• Alliance: Void Elf for the extra mobility from Spatial Rift.

Healing and damage output will be very similar across all races, so the utility is what really sets them apart.

On progress encounters where you’re in danger of getting one shot you would want to default to avoidance. Avoidance will make it safer to take big hits, while leech will help you get topped faster and provide a bit of extra throughput.

Weapon: Enchant Weapon - Acuity Of The Ren'dorei

Head: Enchant Helm - Hex Of Leeching / Enchant Helm - Rune Of Avoidance

Chest: Enchant Chest - Mark Of The Worldsoul / Enchant Chest - Mark Of The Magister (Extra Mana)

Shoulder: Enchant Shoulders - Silvermoon's Mending / Enchant Shoulders - Amirdrassil's Grace

Legs: Arcanoweave Spellthread

Boots: Enchant Boots - Lynx's Dexterity / Enchant Boots - Shaladrassil's Roots

Rings: Enchant Ring - Nature's Fury - Ring enchants will be dependent on the content you do and on the rest of your gear. They are good for balancing out your stats.

Unique Gem: Telluric Eversong Diamond. The extra mana can come in handy on longer fights.

After that you follow your stat weights:

• Raiding: Flawless Masterful Garnet / Flawless Deadly Amethyst
• M+: Flawless Deadly Peridot / Flawless Versatile Peridot

Health Potion: Silvermoon Health Potion

Flask: Flask Of The Shattered Sun / Flask Of The Magisters

Food: Feasts / Royal Roast

Weapon Oil: Thalassian Phoenix Oil

Augment Rune: Void-Touched Augment Rune

Mana Potion: Lightfused Mana Potion (Instant Mana Potion) or Potion Of Devoured Dreams (Channeled Mana Potion)

Potion Of Devoured Dreams provides more mana than an instant potion, but it can be hard to find a window to fully channel it during high-movement fights. If you don’t need the extra mana, you can also use Potion Of Recklessness for more healing and damage.
