Holy Priest Healing Amirdrassil Raid Guide — Dragonflight 10.2.7
On this page, you will find tips, tricks, and strategies tailored to your Holy Priest for each boss of the following raid: Amirdrassil. All our content is updated for World of Warcraft — Dragonflight 10.2.7.
Introduction
Below, you can find class and spec-specific advice for every fight in Amirdrassil. If you are looking for a general overview of the Raid that is not spec-specific, check out our dedicated Amirdrassil, the Dream's Hope guides.
On this page, you will find Holy Priest specific information to deal with each boss in the Amirdrassil raid. These are not complete encounter guides but specific tips for doing the bosses as a Holy Priest.
This page assumes that you already understand most of the mechanics of each encounter. These can be found on the full raid guide, so what is contained here are details specifically tailored toward Holy Priest and how you can deal with each fight as best as possible.
All recommendations are progression-based tips and will not necessarily be the best for an overall HPS ranking.
Talents

The recommended build centers around filling between your short cooldown
spells with Prayer of Healing for increased AoE healing. You should
start with the above build, then, if needed, change talents for increased
utility as discussed on the talents page.
General Defensive Usage Notes
Holy Priest has several defensive spells that you should plan to use and rotate throughout mechanics. A common mistake is to save the cooldowns for an emergency rather than using them liberally to counter large spikes of incoming damage.
Flash Heal with
Protective Light talented.
Fade with
Translucent Image talented.
Desperate Prayer
Guardian Spirit if not needed on a specific target.
Power Word: Shield for a small absorb if nothing else is available.
You should utilize your personal defensives with usage of your healing consumables like
Healthstone and your health potion as needed to survive.

Divine Hymn and
Holy Word: Salvation are great counters for the periodic heavy raid damage dealt by

Fyrakk the Blazing
Tips
Be sure to be dispelling players on high stacks of Aflame regularly.
You can also use
Mass Dispel when the raid is grouped to dispel multiple
allies at once.
When healing the Spirits of the Kaldorei, using
Holy Word: Sanctify and
Circle of Healing along with other healers
helping should be enough. Triage any that aren't being healed like you would any
injured ally, using
Power Word: Life if one is very low and
Holy Word: Serenity to finish off any that need it.

Aflame (417807) - DoT that gains increasing damage until dispelled.
