On this page, you will find out the best PvE talent choices and builds for your Priest Healer in WoW Classic.
Priest Healing Talent Builds for World of Warcraft: Classic
There are multiple builds for Healing Priests. Most of them revolve around utilising a similar set of base talents and then applying the remaining points, depending on the intended utility or role that is desired.
Holy Priest Talent Build
Holy Priest goes all out on maximizing your throughput as a healer. There are several variations you can make on this build and it is by no means the only viable build, but this serves as a good guideline.
Healing Focus — Whenever you are doing content where you are taking
any form of damage, this talent is absolutely crucial to have. Having your
spell casts delayed is annoying and, more importantly, very inefficient.
Spiritual Healing — Provides you with a flat 10% healing increase
when you spend 5 points on it. This is great for increasing your
throughput.
Spiritual Guidance — Allows you to convert up to 25% of your Spirit
into Spell Power, making it so that you get more value out of Spirit as a stat,
which is great when Spirit is a decent stat to get in the first place.
Inspiration — Wonderful talent that provides your tanks with a lot
of extra mitigation when your direct healing spells critically heal them.
Divine Spirit — It is important to have at least one Priest in the
raid get this, but not all Priests have to get it. Make sure to communicate with
your fellow Priests about who has to take it.
Inner Focus — Adds a lot of efficiency to your healing ability
every 3 minutes, both in terms of Mana efficiency and raw throughput.
Discipline Priest Talent Build
Discipline will focus more on your own damage and, most importantly, gives you the
option to pick 
Power Infusion. This build is not really recommended
early on, as you give up a lot of the healing benefits that going deep into Holy
provides. It also does not have a tremendous amount of flexibility in terms of
your talent choices. As you and your raid get more gear, this build becomes
stronger because you do not have to heal as much, which makes shifting the focus
to increasing the DPS of your raid more excusable.
Power Infusion - This is the biggest reason to consider this build.
Adding an extra damage cooldown to your raid makes it valuable for fights where
it is not so much about the healing, but the DPS required. Be prepared for
bribes from your raid to give them Power Infusion!- Divine Spirit - It is important to have at least one Priest in the
raid get this, but not all Priests have to get it. Make sure to communicate with
your fellow Priests about who has to take it.
- Inner Focus - This adds a lot of efficiency to your healing ability
every 3 minutes, both in terms of Mana efficiency and raw throughput.
