We suggest using Elusive Blasphemite instead of Insightful Blasphemite, as the value from the Insightful gem is quite small. The added bonus from an increase in movement speed is much more impactful to our throughput and survival despite not stacking with Angelic Feather. Should you not want the additional movement speed, Insightful Blasphemite is a perfectly good replacement.

As a Holy Priest, stats are so close together for healing that you are largely free to use other stat enchants on rings if you prefer them. Mastery for Raiding and Haste for Dungeons are also good alternatives.

As a raiding Holy Priest you will want to use Leech enchants when possible as it provides the most defensive benefit. The avoidance enchants are a bit more unreliable but still a suitable alternative.

The best weapon enchant for Holy Priests is Enchant Weapon - Council's Guile, which has a high variance in proc rate. Enchant Weapon - Authority of Fiery Resolve is a close second and is often a more reliable bonus as it triggers much regularly.

Should you find a specific encounter or dungeon has hefty movement requirements, you can also opt for numerous Speed boosts to assist. These include:

• Wrist - Enchant Bracer - Chant of Armored Speed
• Cloak - Enchant Cloak - Chant of Burrowing Rapidity
• Boots - Enchant Boots - Scout's March
• Epic Gem - Elusive Blasphemite

Consumable	Best	Alternative
Flask	Flask of Tempered Aggression	Flask of Alchemical Chaos
Potion	Algari Mana Potion Slumbering Soul Serum	Tempered Potion
Healing Potion	Invigorating Healing Potion	Algari Healing Potion
Feast	Feast of the Divine Day Feast of the Midnight Masquerade	The Sushi Special
Personal Food	Hearty Salt Baked Seafood	Beledar's Bounty Empress' Farewell Outsider's Provisions Jester's Board
Weapon Rune	Algari Mana Oil	—
Augment Rune	Crystallized Augment Rune	—

Flask of Tempered Aggression should be used in raid and mythic+. Flask of Alchemical Chaos is a close second when using Tempered Potion as your potion, but is a much less reliable throughput increase.

For Mana return, Algari Mana Potion and Slumbering Soul Serum should both be kept available depending on the situation. While Slumbering Soul Serum is preferred; there are situations where you can not spend 10 seconds channeling and should instead use an Algari Mana Potion.

Tempered Potion is your recommended potion for burst healing throughput when mana potions will not be required as it shares a cooldown with mana potions.

Algari Healing Potion acts as your healing potion. Each use will incur a 5-minute cooldown, but multiple can be consumed in an extended boss fight. In addition, a Warlock's Healthstones do not share a cooldown with other healing consumables.

If available, Feast of the Divine Day / Feast of the Midnight Masquerade is your food of choice for some additional Intellect, or The Sushi Special for additional secondary stat. Your personal food of choice is Hearty Salt Baked Seafood for the additional Mastery and Critical Strike. For a cheaper alternative, you can use Beledar's Bounty, Empress' Farewell, Outsider's Provisions or Jester's Board.
