Holy Priest

Holy changes

• 
  NewPrayer of Mending

  31-point talent behind Spirit of Redemption. Heals when the target next takes damage, then jumps to up to five allies within 20 yards.

• 
  NewBinding Heal

  16-point talent. Heals you and your target at once, 1.5-second cast, no cooldown.

• 
  ChangedSearing Light

  Redesigned: increases all Holy damage and gives Holy Fire a chance to make your next Holy Nova free.

• 
  ChangedLitany of Light

  Refunds mana when your healing spell differs from the one you cast before it — a direct nudge away from spamming one button.

• 
  ChangedInspiration

  Now triggers from any non-periodic critical heal.

• 
  RemovedLightwell

  Removed, along with Improved Prayer of Healing.

Baseline changes — every Priest

These apply to Holy too, regardless of where talent points go.

• 
  NewShadow Word: Death

  Baseline at level 32. Instant Shadow damage; if it does not kill the target, you take 10% of your maximum health.

• 
  ChangedFear Ward

  Available to every Priest at level 20. Previously a Dwarf racial — one of the oldest balance complaints in vanilla, now gone.

• 
  ChangedDevouring Plague

  Available to every Priest at level 20, no longer Undead-only.

• 
  ChangedDivine Spirit

  Baseline at level 30 instead of a talent.

• 
  ChangedPrayer of Healing

  Heals the target’s party and their pets, rather than only your own party.

• 
  ChangedRenew

  Multiple Priests can keep Renew on the same target simultaneously.

• 
  ChangedFade

  Threat reduction doubled.
