Best Gems for Holy Priests
The gems you will use depend on the content you are primarily focusing on.
If you find yourself swapping between both dungeons and raids regularly and want to optimise for both with the same set of gear, we suggest going with Critical Strike gems and enchants on any items you share between both activities. Critical Strike and Mastery both have similar value in a raid environment, but Critical Strike is superior in dungeons.
Raiding
You should use Masterful Jewel Cluster (or the cheaper
Masterful Jewel Doublet) in all
sockets.
Dungeons
You should use Deadly Jewel Cluster (or the cheaper
Deadly Jewel Doublet)
in all sockets.

Consumables for Holy Priests
Best Flasks and Potions for Holy
Spectral Flask of Power should be used for raids along with
Potion of Spiritual Clarity as your potion of choice. You can also use
Potion of Spectral Intellect where mana isn't needed to contribute to both healing and damage.
Spiritual Mana Potion can also be used once per fight as an instant Mana
restore if the fight does not allow for usage of
Potion of Spiritual Clarity.
Spiritual Healing Potion should be used alongside
Healthstones for emergency healing.
Best Food for Holy
Raids
You should eat from the Feast of Gluttonous Hedonism when possible,
and otherwise Mastery food (
Iridescent Ravioli with Apple Sauce or the cheaper
Meaty Apple Dumplings).
Dungeons
You should eat from the Feast of Gluttonous Hedonism when possible,
and otherwise Critical Strike food (
Spinefin Souffle and Fries or the cheaper
Butterscotch Marinated Ribs).
Other Consumables for Holy
Make sure you apply Embalmer's Oil to your weapon at all times for extra healing
and
Heavy Desolate Armor Kit to your Chest armor for extra survivability.
