Holy Priest Healing Vault of the Incarnates Raid Guide — Season 4

This page assumes that you already understand most of the mechanics of each encounter. These can be found on the full Vault of the Incarnates raid guide, so what is contained here are details specifically tailored toward Holy Priest and what you can do to deal with each fight as best as possible.

All recommendations are progression-based tips and will not necessarily be the best for an overall HPS ranking.

You can easily import the talent tree below by clicking 'Copy Export String' and then importing it in-game.

The recommended build centers around filling between your short cooldown spells with Prayer of Healing for increased AoE healing. You should start with the above build, then, if needed, change talents for increased utility as discussed on the talents page.

Holy Priest has several defensive spells that you should plan to use and rotate throughout mechanics. A common mistake is to save the cooldowns for an emergency rather than using them liberally to counter large spikes of incoming damage.

• Flash Heal with Protective Light talented.
• Fade with Translucent Image talented.
• Desperate Prayer
• Guardian Spirit if not needed on a specific target.
• Power Word: Shield for a small absorb if nothing else is available.

You should utilize your personal defensives with usage of your healing consumables like Healthstone and your health potion as needed to survive.

• Eranog periodically casts Incinerating Roar dealing raid-wide damage, making it a great time to plan out using Divine Hymn and Holy Word: Salvation.
• Mythic: Leaping Flames should be dispelled as soon as possible with either Purify or Mass Dispel to reduce the damage it deals.

• While soaking the Rock Blast doesn't deal enough damage to warrant a raid cooldown, it is a great time for a Holy Word: Sanctify > Circle of Healing > Prayer of Healing combo to top the raid back up again. You can begin with the two instant-casts while moving out of the Rock Blast left on the ground.
• Pillars created by Awakened Earth pulse damage to the entire raid. The more pillars that are up, the more constant raid damage.
• Destroying pillars leaves a raid-wide DoT Seismic Assault and is a good time to use either Divine Hymn or Holy Word: Salvation

• Primal Blizzard deals a lot of raid damage, but due to how it applies stacks, you need to be careful when using Divine Hymn during it, and clear your stacks just before and after casting it, so you do not get frozen. Holy Word: Salvation doesn't require as much effort to use well, when countering the Primal Blizzard damage.
• Allies afflicted by Conductive Mark will take a significant amount of damage. You should keep them alive as they attempt to clear their debuff. Use Power Word: Life and Guardian Spirit on players near death to buy them more time to clear their Mark.
• Be careful not to Leap of Faith an ally with Conductive Mark, as it can spread the Mark to other raid members.

Spell ID	Name	Description
371624	Conductive Mark	Single target DoT dealing heavy damage to targets afflicted by it.

For more information, please refer to our The Primal Council guide.

• Try to save an Angelic Feather charge for when Sennarth casts Gossamer Burst or Repelling Burst.
• You can also use Leap of Faith to help prevent players from falling off the edge.
• Each time Sennarth casts Chilling Blast is the perfect time to use your Holy Word: Sanctify > Circle of Healing > Prayer of Healing healing combination to counter the burst of raid damage.
• When Chilling Aura starts to stack up is a great time to use Divine Hymn and Holy Word: Salvation to counter the stacking damage.

Nothing of note.

For more information, please refer to our Sennarth guide.

• Try to save a charge of Angelic Feather for when an add is about to die to help you get into position faster and prevent being knocked off to your death.
• Allies afflicted by Conductive Mark will take a significant amount of damage. You should take care to keep them alive. Use Power Word: Life and Guardian Spirit on allies near death.
• The casts of Cyclone are a great time for Divine Hymn and Holy Word: Salvation. You can also use your strong raid cooldowns to help top everyone up before a cyclone if the raid is low.

391686	Conductive Mark	Single target DoT dealing heavy damage to targets afflicted by it.

• The casts of Frost Bite and Biting Chill are a great time for Divine Hymn or Holy Word: Salvation.

• Use the sequence of Holy Word: Sanctify > Circle of Healing > Prayer of Healing to counter the damage from Absolute Zero.
