Holy Priest Healing Gear and Best in Slot — Battle for Azeroth (BfA) 8.2

1. Trinkets for Holy Priests

The following is a ranking of trinkets, aimed at use in a raid environment. These rankings are formulated with all trinkets at the same item level. Due to how close in value most trinkets in each tier are, generally it is the higher item level that will decide which one is optimal.

Can't see a trinket in the list below? You can view more detailed trinket rankings on the Holy Priest Spreadsheet on the Trinket Ranks tab.

The ranking system is as follows.

1. S Tier: the strongest and most generally useful trinkets; these are always good choices.
2. A Tier: these trinkets are either slightly weaker than the S Tier traits, but are still solid choices.
3. B Tier: a below-average trinket that should be picked only in the absence of an S or A Tier trinket.
4. C Tier: a weak trinket that provides very little healing output or other utility and should be avoided if possible.

Any trinket not listed in one of the above tiers provides no increase in healing output, or significant utility, though some may increase damage dealt.

2. Benthic Gear

Of the Benthic gear available to healers, none of the bonus effects are particularly strong. It is suggested that you focus your upgrades on improving your item level in low item level slots, and on your Benthic items with sockets and/or Leech. Both sockets and Leech add significant value to the item slot, usually 5-10 item levels or more each.

3. Best in Slot List for Holy Priests in The Eternal Palace

Due to the introduction of Mythic+ providing high item-level gear, and Titanforging on both Mythic+ and raid gear, Best in Slot lists are now a thing of the past.

The following list is provided to guide you on the most ideal items in each slot you can obtain from The Eternal Palace and help make you aware of the potential loot available.

The trinket selections are present to give you an aim within the raid, a full list of trinket rankings can be found further up on this page.

Initially you should be using your bonus rolls on the bosses that drop Weapons, Azerite items and desired trinkets. Once you have obtained those items, start using them to fill in the rest of the slots you can obtain item-level upgrades in.

Several new items were added in The Eternal Palace with special effects on them. Information on how valuable these additional effects are will be added soon once we can see them in action.
