|
Good | ![]() |
Flame Leviathan — (10) Ulduar |

you get your best option.

19 x Emblems of Conquest |
While Sapphire Amulet of Renewal is your actual best in slot neck as it
has Spirit instead of Mp5,
Charm of Meticulous Timing is just as good and
will be much less contested.

Heroic: All Is Well That Ends Well |
Great | ![]() |
All Is Well That Ends Well |
Great | ![]() |
Freya — (25H) Ulduar |
Sunglimmer Cloak is your best cloak, but as it is from the
Heroic: All Is Well That Ends Well quest it is unlikely you will be able to get
it for a while till most of the DPS players have it.
Sunglimmer Drape
from 10 man is a close secondary option.
Chest
Rank | Item | Source |
---|---|---|
Best | ![]() |

Conqueror's Robe of Sanctification is the only listed chest as it can
be easily obtained and is needed to complete your 4-set bonus.

Rank | Item | Source |
---|---|---|
Best | ![]() |
XT-002 Deconstructor — (25H) Ulduar |
Great | ![]() |

Grasps of Reason are your ideal bracers, having a large stat-line and
an open socket.

Algalon the Observer — (25) Ulduar |
Great | ![]() |
|
Great | ![]() |
General Vezax — (25H) Ulduar |
You have a few options for your glove slot. Pharos Gloves are your

Algalon the Observer — (25) Ulduar |
Great | ![]() |
Flame Leviathan — (25) Ulduar |
Good | ![]() |
Malygos — (10) The Eye of Eternity |

Legs
Rank | Item | Source |
---|---|---|
Best | ![]() |
|
Great | ![]() |
Thorim — (25) Ulduar |
You will want to get your tier legs as soon as possible for your 2-set bonus.

Best | ![]() |
Flame Leviathan — (25H) Ulduar |

Yogg-Saron — (25H) Ulduar |

![]() |
Good | ![]() |
Freya — (25) Ulduar |
Boots of Fiery Resolution are perfect for a Holy Priest, with an
abundance of everything you need.
Spellslinger's Slippers are recommended
in the meantime till you can get yours.
Finger
Rank | Item | Source |
---|---|---|
Best | ![]() |
Mimiron — (25H) Ulduar |
Best | ![]() |
Freya — (10H) Ulduar |

Assembly of Iron — (25) Ulduar |
Good | ![]() |
Yogg-Saron — (10H) Ulduar |
Phase 2 brings a large selection of rings you can choose from. Your two best rings might take awhile to get, so grab any upgrades you can in the meantime.
Trinket
Rank | Item | Source |
---|---|---|
Best | ![]() |
Algalon the Observer — (10) Ulduar |
Best | ![]() |
Kologarn — (10) Ulduar |
Best | ![]() |
Yogg-Saron — (25H) Ulduar |
Great | ![]() |
Thorim — (25) Ulduar |
Good | ![]() |
Thorim — (10H) Ulduar |
Phase 2 brings many new trinkets to the table for you to choose from.
Spark of Hope is by far the best trinket available for pure mana sustain,
with
Meteorite Crystal being the second ideal mana regeneration
trinket. On shorter fights where mana is not a concern, you will want to wear
the high Spell Power or Haste options.
Main Hand Weapon
Rank | Item | Source |
---|---|---|
Best | ![]() |
Shared Drop — (25) Ulduar |
Great | ![]() |
Algalon the Observer — (25) Ulduar |
Good | ![]() |
Razorscale — (25) Ulduar |
Obviously Val'anyr, Hammer of Ancient Kings is your best in slot weapon,
but it will take awhile before you can get yours.
Constellus is a great
choice if you still want to wear a one-handed weapon and off-hand.
Off Hand Weapon
Rank | Item | Source |
---|---|---|
Best | ![]() |
Kologarn — (25) Ulduar |
Great | ![]() |
Maexxna or Gluth — (10) Naxxramas |
Good | ![]() |
Ignis the Furnace Master — (10) Ulduar |
Ironmender is your ideal off-hand if you are using a one-handed
healing weapon.
Matriarch's Spawn still remains a solid choice as well
till you can get yours.
Two Handed Weapon
Rank | Item | Source |
---|---|---|
Best | ![]() |
Assembly of Iron — (25) Ulduar |
Great | ![]() |
Hodir — (25H) Ulduar |
Good | ![]() |
Freya — (25) Ulduar |
Staves are a good option if you can not get your best main-hand and
off-hand combo. Picking up a Icecore Staff will last you a very long
time.
Wand
Rank | Item | Source |
---|---|---|
Best | ![]() |
General Vezax — (25) Ulduar |
Great | ![]() |
Freya — (10H) Ulduar |
Good | ![]() |
Heroics |
Wands are a bit awkward this phase for healers as they are mostly made for
DPS. Grab whichever you can get your hands on; if you can not get any new wands,
Wand of the Archlich remains a very solid option still.
