Holy Priest Healing Gear and Best in Slot — Shadowlands 9.2

Holy Priest primarily uses Flash Concentration in Raid and Mythic+. There are a few alternatives that can be used. Check out our dedicated Legendary page to help you choose which ones to craft and wear.

Introduced in Patch 9.2 are tier items, with 2-set and 4-set bonuses.

• 2-set Holy Priest 2-Piece — Your Holy Words begin Divine Conversation, increasing the cooldown reduction of your next Holy-Word-affecting spell by 15 sec.
• 4-set Holy Priest 4-Piece — Divine Conversation increases the effectiveness of your next Holy-Word-affecting spell by 60%.

You can obtain the set items from the Sepulcher of the First Ones raid, or craft them using Creation Catalyst.

The tier set does alter how you play, with an emphasis around which spells you use to consume Divine Conversation to maximise both the extra healing they do, but also the additional cooldown reduction they provide to their associated Holy Word. The Holy Priest Rotation page has detailed information on the best ways to utilise the Divine Conversation buff.

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.

The trinkets from Sepulcher of the First Ones are fairly underwhelming and trinkets from other sources should be considered if available to you at a similar or higher item level. You should ideally aim to use Unbound Changeling from Ingra Maloch in Mists of Tirna Scithe alongside either So'leah's Secret Technique from So'leah in Tazavesh, the Veiled Market or Elegy of the Eternals from Prototype Pantheon in Sepulcher of the First Ones

S Tier: the strongest and most generally useful trinkets; these are always good choices.

• Unbound Changeling from Ingra Maloch in Mists of Tirna Scithe — Another base Intellect trinket with a Haste effect, this is an all-around solid trinket with a pretty reliable proc that will provide good value over the course of the encounter. You can change this effect from Haste to Critical Strike or Mastery by eating the appropriate Shadowlands stat food.

A Tier: these trinkets are slightly weaker than the S Tier trinkets, but are still solid choices.

• So'leah's Secret Technique from So'leah in Tazavesh, the Veiled Market — Solid passive stat boost. Simple and effective.
• Elegy of the Eternals from Prototype Pantheon in Sepulcher of the First Ones — Another solid stat boost trinket.
• Inscrutable Quantum Device from Dealer Xye'xa in De Other Side — a unique trinket that changes its effect depending on the situation around you. The value of this trinket can range from really good to average depending on the situation.
• Cosmic Gladiator's Badge of Ferocity — a PvP trinket with an on-use effect granting a large amount of Intellect. This trinket should be used during periods of high healing where possible.
• Auxillary Attendant Chime from Vigilant Guardian in Sepulcher of the First Ones — provides really competitive healing for most people. It will get out-scaled by stat trinkets at higher gear levels.

B Tier: a below-average trinket that should be picked only in the absence of an S or A Tier trinket.

• Soulletting Ruby from Kul'tharok in Theater of Pain — The only downside to this Intellect and Critical Strike heavy trinket is the travel time of the soul, which can feel like an eternity if your target is a long distance from you. Once it reaches you though, you are provided a strong Critical Strike effect, especially if you can find a low-health enemy to use it on.
• The Lion's Roar from Anduin Wrynn in Sepulcher of the First Ones — This can be difficult to use, but provides competitive healing when the absorb can be fully utilitsed.
• Spiritual Alchemy Stone from Alchemy and upgraded to 262 through Crafter's Mark of the Chained Isle — A very solid Versatility, Intellect and Mana bonus that is a good choice for its item level.
• Cosmic Gladiator's Insignia of Alacrity is a PvP trinket with a passive Intellect proc and high base Haste. Despite the Haste, this is a great option if you don't want the hassle of an on-use trinket and struggle to obtain other trinkets.

C Tier: a weak trinket that provides very little healing output or other utility and should be avoided if possible.

• Boon of the Archon
• Carved Ivory Keepsake
• Darkmoon Deck: Repose
• First Class Healing Distributor
• Lingering Sunmote
• Overflowing Anima Cage
• Reclaimer's Intensity Core from Halondrus the Reclaimer in Sepulcher of the First Ones
• Siphoning Phylactery Shard
• Sunblood Amethyst
• The First Sigil from Prototype Pantheon in Sepulcher of the First Ones
• Tome of Insight
• Vial of Spectral Essence
• World Quest trinkets

As you gear up in Sepulcher of the First Ones you will slowly replace your Sanctum of Domination trinkets. You should look to replace trinkets as you gain access to other trinkets in the same or higher tier at a better item level.

S Tier - Titanic Ocular Gland A Tier - Shadowed Orb of Torment B Tier - Resonant Silver Bell B Tier - Carved Ivory Keepsake C Tier - Scrawled Word of Recall

If you are just starting to gear up, Spiritual Alchemy Stone can be created at 262 item level and is an exceptional entry-level trinket for both raiding and Mythic+ if you're an alchemist. Tome of Insight from Korthia world quest and event rewards is also a decent entry-level trinket and is fairly easy to obtain. Good starter trinkets from dungeons include So'leah's Secret Technique from So'leah in Tazavesh, the Veiled Market, Unbound Changeling from Ingra Maloch in Mists of Tirna Scithe, and Soulletting Ruby from Kul'tharok in Theater of Pain.

World Quest Trinkets — There is a wide variety of world quest trinkets, everything from stat-sticks to healing and absorb procs. These are great entry level trinkets to provide you with something to use until you get a higher item level trinket from Mythic+ dungeons or raid. When using these trinkets on a character that is gearing up, focus on those which have either an Intellect or Secondary Stat proc, as they are much more reliable than the healing/absorb effects.

You are able to upgrade gear obtained from Mythic+ with Valor points. We recommend starting with trinkets and weapons where possible, otherwise target your lowest item level items first when upgrading. You can learn more about this system on the dedicated Valor page.

Due to the introduction of multiple gear acquisition methods outside of raid that also provide competitive items, Best in Slot lists are now a thing of the past.

When gearing your Holy Priest, you should be focusing on item level as a priority and then, in the situation where you have two available items of the same item level, pick the one with the preferred secondary stats. Due to all of our secondary stats being so close in value, there is no reason to drop item level just to change the secondary stats. You can read more about secondary stat priority on the stats page.

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

For your 5th slot you can use an off-set item below, there is no stand-out specific slot you should look to have as your off-set slot.

• Helm — Ephemera-Charged Thinking Cap from Lihuvim, Principal Architect
• Hands — Bindings of the Banished One from The Jailer
• Helm — Ancient Materium Tassets from Vigilant Guardian

As you obtain new items, you should gem and enchant them as soon as possible to get the full benefit out of them.

The following list is provided to guide you on the most ideal items in each slot you can obtain from Mythic+ and help make you aware of the potential loot available. The focus of this list is on the dungeon stat priorities, which varies a bit from raid. Mythic+ is also a great place to gear for raid, however if raiding you will want to also look for items properly itemised for raid.

As of Patch 9.2 Domination Shards no longer function in Sepulcher of the First Ones or Mythic+ and should be replaced with higher item level items in those slots as possible.
