Holy Priest Healing Gear and Best in Slot — The War Within (11.1.7)

Due to the wide variety of gear providing secondary stats that are all very close in value for us and augments such as sockets or tertiary stats, there is no certain Best in Slot list. This page aims to guide you toward the best possible items, particularly in trinket slots.

For regular item slots that are not used by tier or trinket/weapon effects, you will want to focus on item level while keeping the following in mind:

• Socket — Around 9 item levels.
• Leech — Around 12 item levels. **
• Avoidance — Around 6 item levels.

** Note: The value of leech drops off the more you get. It is quite valuable up until you reach 2-3 items with it; then, the value can drop off quite significantly. Focus on prioritizing item level if you reach this much leech from your gear.

To learn more about stats and how they affect your gearing, check out the Holy Priest Stats page linked below.

Overall List for Holy Priest

This list contains the Best in Slot Gear for Holy Priest in The War Within Season 2 from all sources, including Raiding, Mythic+, Delves, The Great Vault, and Crafted.

Note that this BiS List is for items from the Raid. We are separating the BiS lists by gear sources. This is what you send to your Raid Leader/Loot Council when they ask you what your BiS gear is from the Raid.

Note that there is no such thing as a singular, all-encompassing "BiS". The best items vary per character and situation, and there are many items that are essentially equivalent in terms of HPS, namely when we are just shuffling secondary stats around. We will list one "BiS" item per slot, sometimes two if we feel there is a significant difference, but ultimately, BiS lists are not very practically useful. Nonetheless, there is a huge demand for this, so here it is for your perusal.

There are two notable mentions of multiple options from the table below. The first is weapons, where multiple 1-handed available are almost identical in value. The second are the very rare items, which have alternatives listed due to how difficult it can be to obtain the very rare items.

Durable Information Securing Container is a new Delve-related belt introduced in Patch 11.1.7 which is the Season 2 equivalent to Cyrce's Circlet, serving as a new source of player power and easy catch-up for alternate characters. You can obtain it through the new Overcharged Delves.

For more information on how to acquire or upgrade the belt, make sure to inspect our dedicated Overcharged Delves guide!

You should equip this belt as soon as you are able to obtain one of the below powers, as it is better than anything you can obtain during Season 2.

• For Raid: Electric Current or Cauterizing Bolts.
• For Mythic+: Critical Chain (healing) or Charged Bolts (damage).

While Cauterizing Bolts is a strong option, at Mythic Raid levels of healing it is outpaced by Electric Current and Critical Chain.

The War Within Season 2 offers a way to acquire specific items from Liberation of Undermine and Mythic dungeons through the new Puzzling Cartel Chip.

We have compiled a list of high-value items that you should prioritize with your Cartel Chips in The War Within Season 2 as Holy Priest. This list is not exhaustive or in order of priority, the best pick will depend on the gear you already have available.

1. Mister Pick-Me-Up - This trinket provides a large amount of healing and damage passively during a raid fight. It is worth noting that this trinket drops off a slightly earlier boss in the raid, and that it will not be contested by DPS or tank players, meaning it may be easier to loot naturally. That being said, this trinket is currently our best for raid and is also incredibly solid for M+ and should be prioritized.
2. Signet of the Priory / Mug's Moxie Jug - The 2-minute cooldown on the Signet of the Priory aligns perfectly with Apotheosis, providing your highest secondary stat and making it an excellent trinket choice. If you'd prefer a passive trinket, Mug's Moxie Jug is very close in value.
3. The Jastor Diamond - This ring provides a large amount of stats in addition to its normal stat budget, making it the BiS ring for raiding. Combined with the fact that this is a rare drop from the last boss of the raid and is contested by a large number of classes/specializations, it is a very good choice for a Cartel Chip.

1. Mister Pick-Me-Up - This trinket's main stat buff alongside the passive healing and damage make it a very good choice for M+, and has the bonus of also being great in raid. It is worth noting that this trinket drops off a slightly earlier boss in the raid, and that it will not be contested by DPS or tank players, meaning it may be easier to loot naturally.
2. Signet of the Priory - The 2-minute cooldown on the Signet of the Priory aligns perfectly with Apotheosis, providing your highest secondary stat and making it an excellent trinket choice.
3. Gallagio Bottle Service - This trinket can be a bit more niche, but it provides a very powerful healing cooldown which can be helpful in keys where you feel like your current cooldowns feel stretched.
4. Burin of the Candle King - Like the Bottle Service, this trinket is more situational but offers a strong external healing option on a relatively short cooldown. It's worth picking up if you feel you need the external cooldown.
5. The Jastor Diamond - While many players avoid Mastery in M+, this ring's bonus effect provides a large stat increase on top of it's normal budget and is worth noting as a good option if you do not need the trinkets listed up above.

• Eye of Kezan - While this trinket is quite strong, it does require you to be in combat for a long time before it is able to come up to full power, and will be outclassed by other trinkets on shorter fights, or on fights where the damage is very frontloaded, like Gallywix.
• Carved Blazikon Wax - A solid choice for throughput if you don’t have access to any raid trinkets.

With the release of season 2, this ring should be worn until you either have a Heroic The Jastor Diamond, Heroic Crit-Heavy or Mastery-Heavy Miniature Roulette Wheel, or a Mythic item level ring.

Cyrce's Circlet ring was introduced in Patch 11.0.7 and is acquired by completing several activities on Siren Isle. The ring has 3 sockets, which can fit a different kind of gem each. There are four different gems available for each of the three sockets, for a total of 12 gems, so there is quite a bit of choice on what to socket.

The following gems are recommended when utilizing Cyrce's Circlet:

• Stormbringer's Runed Citrine
• Fathomdweller's Runed Citrine
• Windsinger's Runed Citrine

Some alternatives to the above gems are available. Roaring War-Queen's Citrine can be run over Stormbringer's Runed Citrine in a situation where you are willing to give up power of your own to give more power to your group. Just be aware that running more than one of these in a group can have lesser results.

For more information on how to get the ring, as well as acquiring all of the different gems that you can possibly socket into it, check out our Cyrce's Circlet guide below!

Our BiS crafts are pretty straightforward. We eventually want Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension on the Vagabond's Torch off-hand and Writhing Armor Banding on the Consecrated Cuffs bracers.

The crafting order is only complicated for your first few crafts, where the immediate power increase of a 2-hander can be a better choice for your initial 2 sparks. Below is the crafting advice if you have a raiding focus.

1. Vagabond's Bounding Baton (Early craft, costs 2 Sparks) — This item is not our long-term BiS, but if you are wanting the strongest immediate power increase, then the sheer item level value of a weapon is going to exceed the value of the best embellishments. As for embellishment, you should apply Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension.
2. (BiS, 1 Spark) — Consecrated Cuffs — We choose bracers with Writhing Armor Banding here because they have the lowest item level budget, meaning that the 3 iLvl cost of using crafted bracers over a pair of 639s will cost us less than for other slots. In the early short-term, this is actually a disadvantage, but it is the best choice in the long run when chasing a BiS setup.
3. (BiS, 1 Spark) — Vagabond's Torch — Once you obtain a high item-level main-hand weapon, you should craft Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension on and off-hand to go with it.
4. Next, chase item level where needed, preferring Weapon > Helm/Chest/Legs (though these are likely occupied by tier) > Boots/Belt > Rings/Necks > Cloaks.
5. At this point, you are mostly done crafting. You can spend future Sparks on off-spec items, alternative stat crafts for different situations, and so on.

If you are focused on Mythic+ content, you should look to craft Vagabond's Bounding Baton with your first 2 sparks as it provides the largest immediate power increase. For your embellishments, craft Binding of Binding alongside Dawnthread Lining on either Wrists, Waist or Cloak.

The Tier Set is comprised of 5 items, all carrying the Confessor's Unshackable Virtue moniker. The tier bonus for Season 2 is primarily a passive buff that encourages regular usage of Holy Words, and utilising Apotheosis well.

• Confessor's Unshakable Halo
• Confessor's Unshakable Radiance
• Confessor's Unshakable Vestment
• Confessor's Unshakable Mitts
• Confessor's Unshakable Leggings

• 2-set: Priest Holy 11.1 Class Set 2pc - Your healing spells have a chance to apply Insurance! to their targets that heals them over 15 sec. Insurance! is consumed if an ally drops below 40% health to heal them.
• 4-set: Priest Holy 11.1 Class Set 4pc - Holy Word: Serenity and Holy Word: Sanctify apply Insurance! for 10 sec to one target while Apotheosis is active. Your healing is increased by 1% for each Insurance! active on allies.

While the set bonus doesn't change how we play, it emphasises playing well. The more you are in Apotheosis and the more Holy Words you cast during Apotheosis, the more benefit you will get from Tier.

You will be able to upgrade your items via Crests such as Gilded Undermine Crest. Once you have upgraded a slot to a certain item level, upgrading other items of that slot to that item level is free.

When you upgrade with Crests, you should think of it as upgrading slots and not items.

Additionally, since Crests are a limited resource, you will want to obtain the highest item-level possible before upgrading a given slot, as this means you will spend fewer Crests on that slot in total. If you are at all capable of doing a +9 Dungeon, for example, it would be a VERY bad idea to upgrade an item from a +8 Dungeon, as those are wasted Crests you may not get back for a very long time.

We see a ton of players, even at a high level, mess up their upgrade priorities, and upgrading prematurely. Getting this right will put you far ahead of most players.

Below is the slot priority you should upgrade your items in. If you ever want to deviate from this, you should have a very good reason.

1. Weapons
2. Trinkets
3. Helm/Chest/Legs
4. Shoulders/Gloves/Belt/Boots
5. Rings and Necks
6. Cloaks and Bracers

Note that exceptions are possible, such as special items that have more Item Level scaling than their slot would imply.

While your playstyle contributes the most to your performance, and there is no way to "sim" healing, there are still tools available to help make informed decisions about which items to wear. Simply wearing your best item-level items gets you most of the way there, but to assist with evaluating similar item-level items or items with additional effects, you can load your character into QE Live to view some comparisons of your top gear.
