Holy Priest PvP Best Arena Compositions — Midnight Season 1
Team composition in 2v2 or 3v3 Arena is very important, because not all classes work well together. Here, we give you the best compositions you can have for your Holy Priest (i.e., the best classes to pair with it).
This page is part of our Holy Priest PvP Guide.
2v2 Arena
As a Holy Priest in 2v2, you want to play as aggressively and proactive
as possible to close out the game victorious. That will allow you keeping
the pressure on your team high and will give you even more globals to deal
damage or purge the enemy, as you will not need to hard cast heals. Try to
synchronize your Crowd Control with your partner. If you play with a
Rogue and they use
Kidney Shot on the enemy dps; try to
aim for a
Holy Word: Chastise on the enemy healer, followed by a
Psychic Scream. While doing that, contribute to doing damage to the
enemy dps to secure a kill. As a Priest, your mobility is not the
greatest, so watch out for your positioning and try to mitigate Crowd
Control whenever you can. Also, you need to pay attention to the enemy
cooldowns since you have to react properly with your own cooldowns to save
you or your teammate. Lastly, try to fake or bait interrupts. Since Holy
has two different castable schools of magic, you can bait kicks by casting
Mind Control to get interrupted on 'shadow school' and start casting your holy spells. You can also fake your holy casts in a more traditional way by just canceling your cast.
Here is a list of the best team compositions for 2v2:
3v3 Arena
The core concept for Holy Priest in 3v3 is similar to 2v2 Arena. The
main difference is that there is way more damage coming in, which forces
you to play a bit more defensively. You will have fewer globals to use
aggressively because the main priority is to simply not let your team die.
Then, whenever the game allows, try to purge as much as possible. Try to
weave in
Holy Fires to reduce the cooldown of your Holy Words and to establish more pressure for your team. Do not hesitate to use your defensive cooldowns whenever the enemy team uses their offensive cooldowns. Positioning becomes even more important than in 2v2 arena because now you have to deal with an additional enemy target. Try to go for coordinated Crowd Control setups on the enemy team to generate pressure.
