Holy Priest

Picks up Binding Heal and Prayer of Mending; Lightwell does not survive the trip.

Holy changes

  • Prayer of Mending icon
    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.

  • Binding Heal icon
    NewBinding Heal

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

  • Searing Light icon
    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.

  • Inspiration icon
    ChangedInspiration

    Now triggers from any non-periodic critical heal.

  • Lightwell icon
    RemovedLightwell

    Removed, along with Improved Prayer of Healing.

Baseline changes — every Priest

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

  • Shadow Word: Death icon
    NewShadow Word: Death

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

  • Fear Ward icon
    ChangedFear Ward

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

  • Devouring Plague icon
    ChangedDevouring Plague

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

  • Divine Spirit icon
    ChangedDivine Spirit

    Baseline at level 30 instead of a talent.

  • Prayer of Healing icon
    ChangedPrayer of Healing

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

  • Renew icon
    ChangedRenew

    Multiple Priests can keep Renew on the same target simultaneously.

  • Fade icon
    ChangedFade

    Threat reduction doubled.
