Holy Priest: Rotation

Client build 1.60.1.70425 · updated

The Holy priorities, top to bottom: use the first one that applies.

Healing priority (level 30)

  1. Renew on the tank before the pull and on anyone taking steady damage.
  2. Heal your main heal for steady damage: the most healing per mana.
  3. Binding Heal when you and your target are both hurt, or as a low-threat Flash Heal.
  4. Flash Heal when Heal would land too late.
  5. Power Word: Shield on a target about to spike.
  6. Prayer of Healing when three or more in one party are hurt; target someone in that party.
  7. Holy Nova when the hurt party stands within 10 yards of you. No threat, but costly.

Group damage

  1. Prayer of Healing aimed at the hurt party.
  2. Holy Nova in melee range of the group, for no threat.
  3. Renew rolling on several targets; Renews from two Priests now stack on one target.
  4. Prayer of Mending from 40, on the tank on cooldown so it bounces through the party. Unconfirmed

Cooldowns and emergencies

While leveling

  1. Power Word: Shield before the pull.
  2. Holy Fire to open from 20 (3 s with Divine Fury); Smite before that.
  3. Mind Blast next; every Priest has it.
  4. Shadow Word: Pain on mobs that will live through it.
  5. Wand to finish. Holy Nova for packs while farming, if mana allows.
