WotLK Classic Holy Priest Gear and Best in Slot

In this guide we go over the different gear available for Holy Priests in Phase 1 of Wrath of the Lich King Classic. We will offer multiple different pieces as some can be expensive or very rare to obtain. Some slots have multiple "best" items that can change depending on your other gear choices.

This is a recommended list of full best in slot gear choices. You should be changing your gear often depending on the encounter, so not everything shown below will be used on every fight. Change your gear accordingly based on the battle, what gear you have in other slots, your buffs and so on. This list is to simply show you one of the many full best in slot setups.

Rank	Item	Source
Best	Crown of Luminescence	Mimiron — (25H) Ulduar
Great	Conqueror's Cowl of Sanctification	Thorim — (25) Ulduar 58 x Emblems of Conquest
Good	Lifespark Visage	Flame Leviathan — (10) Ulduar

Crown of Luminescence is your best helm choice as you do not need your 4-set bonus. Conqueror's Cowl of Sanctification is still a great option till you get your best option.

Rank	Item	Source
Best	Sapphire Amulet of Renewal	Assembly of Iron — (25H) Ulduar
Best	Charm of Meticulous Timing	XT-002 Deconstructor — (25H) Ulduar
Great	Watchful Eye of Fate	Assembly of Iron — (10H) Ulduar
Good	Evoker's Charm	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.

Rank	Item	Source
Best	Amice of Inconceivable Horror	Yogg-Saron — (10H) Ulduar
Great	Conqueror's Shoulderpads of Sanctification	Yogg-Saron — (25) Ulduar
Good	Mantle of Wavering Calm	XT-002 Deconstructor — (25) Ulduar

As you don't need your 4-set bonus, you will want to grab Amice of Inconceivable Horror as your best in slot choice.

Rank	Item	Source
Best	Sunglimmer Cloak	Heroic: All Is Well That Ends Well
Great	Sunglimmer Drape	All Is Well That Ends Well
Great	Drape of the Sullen Goddess	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.

Rank	Item	Source
Best	Conqueror's Robe of Sanctification	Hodir — (25) Ulduar 58 x Emblems of Conquest

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	Grasps of Reason	XT-002 Deconstructor — (25H) Ulduar
Great	Unsullied Cuffs	Sartharion — (10) The Obsidian Sanctum

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

Rank	Item	Source
Best	Pharos Gloves	Algalon the Observer — (25) Ulduar
Great	Conqueror's Gloves of Sanctification	Mimiron — (25) Ulduar Emalon the Storm Watcher — (25) Vault of Archavon
Great	Handwraps of the Vigilant	General Vezax — (25H) Ulduar

You have a few options for your glove slot. Pharos Gloves are your ideal choice as they have a nearly perfect stat-line for Holy Priest.

Rank	Item	Source
Best	Starwatcher's Binding	Algalon the Observer — (25) Ulduar
Great	Embrace of the Leviathan	Flame Leviathan — (25) Ulduar
Good	Leash of Heedless Magic	Malygos — (10) The Eye of Eternity

It may take awhile before you can get your best belt as it will be highly contested. You have a couple of great options in the meantime till you get yours.

Rank	Item	Source
Best	Conqueror's Leggings of Sanctification	Freya — (25) Ulduar Emalon the Storm Watcher — (25) Vault of Archavon
Great	Leggings of Lost Love	Thorim — (25) Ulduar

You will want to get your tier legs as soon as possible for your 2-set bonus.

Rank	Item	Source
Best	Boots of Fiery Resolution	Flame Leviathan — (25H) Ulduar
Great	Treads of the False Oracle	Yogg-Saron — (25H) Ulduar
Great	Spellslinger's Slippers	Spellslinger's Slippers — Tailoring
Good	Boots of the Servant	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.

Rank	Item	Source
Best	Conductive Seal	Mimiron — (25H) Ulduar
Best	Fire Orchid Signet	Freya — (10H) Ulduar
Great	Starshine Signet	All Is Well That Ends Well
Good	Radiant Seal	Assembly of Iron — (25) Ulduar
Good	Signet of Soft Lament	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.

Rank	Item	Source
Best	Meteorite Crystal	Algalon the Observer — (10) Ulduar
Best	Spark of Hope	Kologarn — (10) Ulduar
Best	Show of Faith	Yogg-Saron — (25H) Ulduar
Great	Scale of Fates	Thorim — (25) Ulduar
Good	Sif's Remembrance	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.

Rank	Item	Source
Best	Val'anyr, Hammer of Ancient Kings	Shared Drop — (25) Ulduar
Great	Constellus	Algalon the Observer — (25) Ulduar
Good	Guiding Star	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.

Rank	Item	Source
Best	Ironmender	Kologarn — (25) Ulduar
Great	Matriarch's Spawn	Maexxna or Gluth — (10) Naxxramas
Good	Igniter Rod	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.

Rank	Item	Source
Best	Icecore Staff	Assembly of Iron — (25) Ulduar
Great	Staff of Endless Winter	Hodir — (25H) Ulduar
Good	The Lifebinder	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.

Rank	Item	Source
Best	Scepter of Lost Souls	General Vezax — (25) Ulduar
Great	Petrified Ivy Sprig	Freya — (10H) Ulduar
Good	Wand of the Archlich	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.
