Holy Priest Healing Spec, Builds, and Talents — 12.0.5

The Raid Archon Lightweaver Build is centered around large Lightweaver and Surge of Light-buffed Prayer of Healing casts thanks to Spiritwell, alongside the consistent healing from Holy Word: Serenity, and Benediction. Halo should be paired up with Apotheosis or Divine Hymn for powerful raid healing whenever possible.

You can easily import the talent tree below by clicking 'Export Talents' and then importing it in-game.

The Holy Priest tree has several talent points or groups of talent points that can be moved around without affecting the core playstyle:

• Eternal Sanctity can be swapped for Divinity if you are unable to make use of the extra Apotheosis duration.
• Energy Compression gives roughly the same benefit as Sustained Potency and can be freely swapped depending on your preference, provided you can make use of the extended Apotheosis duration.
• Word of Supremacy can be swapped for Heightened Alteration if you can find a way to exploit the added duration with Restitution. If you do this, you should also consider taking Afterlife by dropping either Efficient Prayers or Renewed Faith.
• Seraphic Crescendo should be your default choice over Gales of Song going into every encounter. The only time Gales of Song is worth taking is if for some reason you have planned every single one of your casts more than 3 minutes apart.
• Holy Word: Chastise can be swapped for Prayers of the Virtuous to simplify your rotation and increase Benediction procs.

The Class Tree has some flexibility, and there are multiple different talents you can change around depending on the encounter and your personal preference. The following are all great candidates to be situationally removed without altering your playstyle:

• Improved Purify can be dropped if there are no diseases to dispel.
• Dispel Magic can also be dropped if there are no diseases to dispel and no magic debuffs to purge.
• Mental Agility can be dropped if the encounter doesn't have anything for Purify or Mass Dispel.
• Inspiration can be dropped if you really need another point, as it's the lowest value throughput talent.
• Angelic Bulwark or a point in Spell Warding are the lowest impact talents to drop if you need an extra point in the bottom third of the tree.

In place of them, there are several talents that are situationally useful and can be taken:

• Body and Soul can be taken for extra mobility and survivability on movement-heavy encounters.
• Phantasm to remove snares.
• Phantom Reach for more range.
• Psychic Scream for extra crowd control.

In general it is not a good idea to talent into Lightburst as it removes Holy Nova as a spammable filler spell.

The Raid Archon Easy Mode Build is very similar to the preferred raid build, without the added complication of managing Lightweaver stacks. It is centered around large Surge of Light-buffed Prayer of Healing casts thanks to Spiritwell, alongside the consistent healing from Holy Word: Serenity, and Benediction. Halo should be paired up with Apotheosis or Divine Hymn for powerful raid healing whenever possible.

The Raid Oracle Build focuses on maximising casts of Prayer of Mending through usage of Epiphany. This provides a lot of passive healing from associated talents and direct healing from Prompt Prognosis. You then fill in the gaps between all your short-cooldown spells and procs with either Prayer of Healing for group healing or Holy Nova and Smite to trigger Surge of Light.

Archon with Lightweaver is the recommended spec for Dungeons as it provides consistent bursts of healing with each Halo cast. The different talent choices are primarily to make use of Halo for both damage and healing. The additional Surge of Light procs are great for party triage and contribute to even more Holy Word: Serenity casts.

The Class Tree has limited flexibility without dropping important defensive and throughput talents.

The Holy Tree doesn't have many potential talent change options that don't affect your overall healing output and playstyle.

For Delves, we highly suggest you do them as Shadow instead of Holy due to the increased damage output as Shadow. If you still choose to do them alone as Holy, or are doing them in a group as Holy, then use this build. The most worthwhile change is for Delves, where you should drop Everlasting Light, or if solo, Leap of Faith, and then talent into Dominate Mind. Dominate Mind can be exceptionally useful in Delves to take control of an enemy to not only deal additional damage but also to absorb damage that would otherwise hit you and your allies.

Archon Easy Mode build provides similar output to the Lightweaver build without the hassle of tracking the buff. It provides consistent bursts of healing with each Halo cast and the additional Surge of Light procs are great for party triage and contribute to even more Holy Word: Serenity casts.

This is a viable alternative to Archon but with reduced burst healing potential. The main reason for going Oracle is a combination of personal defence, damage output and consistent healing.
