Holy Priest PvP Stat Priority, Gear, and Trinkets (Season 4)

The stat priority for Holy Priests in PvP is as follows:

1. Intellect;
2. Versatility;
3. Mastery;
4. Haste;
5. Critical Strike.

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, reducing the damage you take. Though, you want to be around 30% Versatility and not overcap it since it will start to diminish from there on. Mastery will increase your overall healing output from Mastery: Echo of Light. Haste is a good 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.

Note that the Season 1 Tier set bonuses are all nerfed by 50% in PvP scenarios. 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: Mask of the Furnace Seraph
• Neck: Draconic Gladiator's Pendant
• Shoulders: Devotion of the Furnace Seraph
• Cloak: Draconic Gladiator's Shawl
• Chest: Vibrant Wildercloth Vestments Embellishment 1 Blue Silken Lining
• Wrists: Draconic Gladiator's Silk Armbands
• Hands: Grasp of the Furnace Seraph
• Waist: Vibrant Wildercloth Girdle Embellishment 2 Precognition
• Legs: Breeches of the Furnace Seraph
• Feet: Draconic Gladiator's Silk Treads
• Ring 1: Signet of Titanic Insight - Crafted with Versatility and Mastery on it
• Ring 2: Draconic Gladiator's Signet
• Trinket 1: Draconic Gladiator's Medallion
• Trinket 2: Draconic Gladiator's Insignia of Alacrity
• Weapon 1: Draconic Gladiator's Scepter.
• Weapon 2: Scalewarden's Flame.

Note: It is essential to be wearing 2 PvP trinkets. This will give you a Stamina and stat boost that will increase your survivability.

As noted above, acquiring both your 2-set and 4-set bonus is crucial. It is also important to note that ALL tier sets are nerfed by 50% in PvP. Although this nerf is significant, tier sets are still important to acquire to maximize your chances of winning. For Holy Priest, this is your tier set:

• 2-set: Holy Word: Serenity applies 14 sec of Renew to its target. Holy Word: Sanctify applies 5 sec of Renew to allies it heals.
• 4-set: Renew's healing has a chance to cause your next Holy Word: Sanctifyor Holy Word: Serenity to not consume a charge when cast and cost 50% less Mana, accumulating up to 2 charges.

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
• Waist: Shadowed Belt Clasp
• Legs: Temporal Spellthread
• Boots: Enchant Boots - Plainsrunner's Breeze
