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 — Season 4.

1.

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.

1.1.

Talents

You can easily import the talent tree below by clicking 'Copy Export String' and then importing it in-game.

  • BEQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQDAAAAAAAAoRChkIkkkIKJUAAAAAgkGaJBgIJhEJFQSCpA

The recommended build centers around filling between your short cooldown spells with Prayer of Healing Icon 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.

1.2.

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 Icon Flash Heal with Protective Light Icon Protective Light talented.
  • Fade Icon Fade with Translucent Image Icon Translucent Image talented.
  • Desperate Prayer Icon Desperate Prayer
  • Guardian Spirit Icon Guardian Spirit if not needed on a specific target.
  • Power Word: Shield Icon 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 Icon Healthstone and your health potion as needed to survive.
