Holy Priest PvP Stat Priority, Gear, and Trinkets (Dragonflight / Patch 10.0.7)
Choosing your gear carefully is important for your Holy Priest in PvP. We give you a stat priority to help you choose items with the right stats, followed by advice on how to choose the rest of your gear and your trinkets.
This page is part of our Holy Priest PvP Guide.
Stat Priority for Holy Priests in PvP
The stat priority for Holy Priests in PvP is as follows:
- Intellect;
- Versatility;
- Haste;
- Mastery;
- Critical Strike.
Gear Recommendations
Intellect is the best stat in all situations. Versatility is the strongest
secondary stat at all times due to it increasing the damage/healing you do and at
the same time reduce the damage you take. Haste and Mastery are both equally valuable
stats for Holy Priest. Haste is an amazing stat as it reduces your
global cooldown, increases your cast and channel speed and reduces the cooldown of
important spells, such as Prayer of Mending. Mastery will increase your
overall healing output from
Mastery: Echo of Light. You should try to aim
for a mixture of both stats.
General Guidelines
You want to use PvP items as much as possible since they have increased item level in PvP combat. This is what your final gear should look like, including set pieces and crafted items :
- Head:
Draconic Hierophant's Archcowl (
Crimson Gladiator's Silk Guise if you do not have that set piece)
- Neck:
Crimson Gladiator's Necklace
- Shoulders:
Draconic Hierophant's Wisdom (
Crimson Gladiator's Silk Mantle if you do not have that set piece)
- Cloak:
Crimson Gladiator's Drape
- Chest:
Draconic Hierophant's Vestment (
Crimson Gladiator's Silk Robe if you do not have that set piece)
- Wrists:
Crimson Gladiator's Silk Armbands
- Hands:
Crimson Gladiator's Silk Gloves
- Waist:
Infurious Binding of Gesticulation (
Crimson Gladiator's Silk Cord if you do not have that crafted item)
- Legs:
Crimson Gladiator's Silk Leggings
- Feet:
Crimson Gladiator's Silk Treads
- Ring 1:
Crimson Gladiator's Ring
- Ring 2:
Crimson Gladiator's Signet
- Weapon:
Crimson Gladiator's Staff
Recommended Trinkets
Note: it is essential to be wearing 2 PvP trinkets. This will increase your
Agility and Stamina, as well as reducing the duration of any incoming
CC on you by 10%. This effect jumps to 15% if you have the correct crafted item,
in our case Infurious Binding of Gesticulation.
Crimson Gladiator's Medallion is a mandatory trinket to have
equipped at all times. This allows you to remove any crowd control on yourself.
You will use this trinket if you are stunned and will die in this stun, or on
any form of CC if one of your teammates will die and you can save them.
Crimson Gladiator's Emblem increases your maximum health when used.
This gives you an additional defensive when you are the target. The significant
health increase will often save your life if you use it when
the enemy team is bursting you down.
Crimson Gladiator's Insignia of Alacrity is a good sustained damage and
healing trinket. It will randomly give you a main stat buff. It is usually a good
default pick when you don't need the Emblem to survive.
Crimson Gladiator's Badge of Ferocity is a powerful burst trinket. It
gives you Intellect and has a relatively short cooldown, but is generally not as
useful as the previous trinkets.
Gems and Enchants
Here are the best enchants and gems for a Holy Priest:
- Cloak:
Enchant Cloak - Homebound Speed
- Chest:
Enchant Chest - Reserve of Intellect
- Wrists:
Enchant Bracer - Devotion of Speed
- Legs:
Temporal Spellthread
- Boots:
Enchant Boots - Plainsrunner's Breeze
- Rings:
Enchant Ring - Devotion of Versatility
- Weapon:
Enchant Weapon - Sophic Devotion
One of your gems should be Resplendent Illimited Diamond, and all your
remaining gems should be a combination of Versatility and Haste/Mastery gems, depending
on your current stat distribution. The gems are
Stormy Malygite,
Energized Malygite
and
Zen Malygite.
