Talent Build Guide | How to Build A Holy Priest
There are two main path for a priest build: Holy and Shadow Priest. Each path offer different talent build and playing sytle. This guide will talking mainly about Holy priest talent build.
If this is your first time playing a priest, know that there are few type of Priest: “Holy Priest” which is your conservative healing-focused Priest and ” Shadow Priest” which is focus on deadly skills. Note that while I can provide you with the talent build, the best ways to cover the other aspects of the game such as fast leveling and gold making is still by using a guide. Why? See the answer at World of Warcraft Strategy Guide.
Priest Talent Builds
First, you will want to invest on Healing Focus and Improved Renew. Put two points in Healing Focus and 3 in Improved Renew; it is important that you can heal more without interruption.
Your next tasks is get Spell Warding and Divine Fury to maximum level to raise your survivability. Add one point to Desperate Player, it will heal you instantly, also another skill to prolong your life.
Maxing Holy Reach will give you 20% extra range for six different spells, keep you in safe distance while maintaining the survivability of your group members. Improved Healing is need to be maxed as well since it will reduce the mana cost for five different spells.
Healing Prayers is another friend of your mana pool, max this talent to gain 20% reduction of two different spells. Spirit of Redemption will only useful if you die, which is the worst scenario for any group during battle, but by having this one you can save your group from total annihilation; so definitely invest one point here.
Obviously, you will not be the damage dealer when you are in a group, but adding 5 points to Spiritual Guidance is not a bad idea since it will give you fighting ability for unpredictable situations.
You might have read other recommendation about Surge of Light; in my opinion, take this talent only if you are going to use Smite and Flash Heal repeatedly later at higher level. As for Spiritual Healing, you definitely want this as a Holy Priest since it will increase your healing spells by 10%.
Having a Lightwell is an extra advantage for your group during a raid; they can click it for heal, so it will make your job easier. It is not instant healing, but it is a good way to keep your mana for more demanding situation.
Put two points in Empowered Healing to boost your greater healing and three in Serendipity to reduce your next spell casting; these will open the next talents.
These next three talents are very important for a Holy Priest; I suggest that you maxed all of them. Empowered Renew will make your Renew heal the target instantly; Circle of Healing allowing you to heal up to five friendly party or raid members within range; Test of Faith increase healing rate on a party members whose health below 50%, increase the probability to save him/her.
These two last talents have many variation in different Priest Leveling Guide, some will say to invest the rest of the points in the Discipline Tree, but for this build, I will include it as well. Put three points in Divine Providence to gain access to the next talent; three points will give you 6% boost in some healing spells. As for the last talent, Guardian Spirit; it will increase your tank’s survivability and make it easier for you to keep him/her alive during chaotic situation.
Being a Holy Priest, you need to have better survival rate yourself, so put the last 20 points in the Discipline tree. Keeping yourself alive comes first before maintain the others health and a group will be in a very disadvantage when their healer dies, so these are how to spend the rest of your points:
- Unbreakable Will; reduce the duration of various side effects, enable you to back into battle faster.
- Silent Resolve; make your helpfull spells and DoT spells become harder to dispelled.
- Improved Power Word: Fortitude; increase Fortitude and Prayer Fortitude by 30%.
- Martyrdom; gain Focused Casting effect for six seconds after getting hit by critical range or melee attack.
- Meditation; when you casting spells (which probably something that you will do at all time in battle), you still have 50% of your mana regeneration continues.
- Inner Focus; cut down the mana cost for your next spell by 100% and raising its critical rate by 25%.
- Improved Power Word: Shield; increase Shield word by 15%.
This priest guide is mainly about holy priest talent build; for leveling method, you can find a group to visit instances dungeon or doing quests all the way to level 80. Doing quests is more recommended since it will earn you proper gear so you don’t have to bought it and it is faster to reach level 80. Check the easy ways to do this at world of warcraft leveling guide.
Note: if healing and support is your favorite role, you may interested to play a Holy Paladin in PvP arena. This class has tremendous impact on the tide of the battle in the right hand. Check the build at Paladin PvP Guide.
