TBC Classic Holy Priest Pre-Raid Gear
On this page, you will find the best pre-raid gear for Holy Priest in TBC Classic.
Holy Priest Pre-Raid Best-in-Slot Gear
In this section we will go over the different gear available for Holy Priests before entering raids. We will offer multiple different pieces as some can be rather expensive or very rare to find. It is also recommended as a Priest to avoid wearing too many pieces of gear with little-to-no Stamina, as you already have a low base health pool.
For the most part we will exclude PvP gear choices. While PvP gear can be a very powerful option for some slots, the gear will require many hours of battlegrounds or weeks of arena point farming to obtain while not being a "best" choice. We recommend only investing time into farming a couple of these pieces at most as the lack of fully PvE focused stats can leave you lacking in certain aspects (such as bonus healing or spirit).
