Level: 70

It is not recommended to level your Priest as a healer when playing solo, as this is a much slower playstyle than leveling as Shadow. If you do, however, want to do some dungeons, PvP, and leveling by yourself, Discipline is a good spec for you.

  2. Dispel Magic IconDispel Magic to remove any threatening debuffs on your allies, or buffs on your enemies.
  3. Prayer of Mending IconPrayer of Mending on your tank on the pull or if there is a lot of AoE damage.

Early on, healing does not leave you with many options. Try to avoid over-healing people, as you have a very limited Mana pool.

Holy Nova IconHoly Nova is nice for some early level AoE healing, and it even deals a bit of damage. Do not rely on this as a pure healing spell, as it heals for a low amount and has a high Mana cost.

By now, your Priest's healing kit is very well rounded, having many spells for all different situations. Flash Heal IconFlash Heal acts as your quick cast emergency heal, whereas Greater Heal IconGreater Heal is your long cast, big large heal. Utilizing the proper spell for each situation is what makes a healing priest great.

Pain Suppression IconPain Suppression is a great cooldown to save someone's life when they are taking massive amounts of damage.
