Holy Priest Healing Gems, Enchants, and Consumables — Battle for Azeroth (BfA) 8.3

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.

You should use Leviathan's Eye of Intellect in one socket, and Masterful Sea Currant (or the cheaper Masterful Tidal Amethyst) in all other sockets.

You should use Leviathan's Eye of Intellect in one socket, and Deadly Lava Lazuli (or the cheaper Deadly Amberblaze) in all other sockets.

Greater Flask of Endless Fathoms should be used for raids along with Potion of Replenishment as your potion of choice. You can also use Superior Battle Potion of Intellect to pre-pot at the beginning of the fight. Coastal 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 Replenishment.

Abyssal Healing Potion should be used alongside Healthstones for emergency healing.

You should eat from the Famine Evaluator And Snack Table when possible, and otherwise Mastery food ( Abyssal-Fried Rissole or the cheaper Sailor's Pie).

You should eat from the Famine Evaluator And Snack Table when possible, and otherwise Critical Strike food ( Mech-Dowel's "Big Mech" or the cheaper Honey-Glazed Haunches).

If you can afford it, you should use Battle-Scarred Augment Runes to increase your primary stat. Since there is a finite amount of these runes available, you should make sure to use them wisely and to stock up on them for when you need them.

Starting in patch 8.3 you can also use the re-usable Lightning-Forged Augment Rune to increase your primary stat by an equal amount.
