Holy Priest Healing PVE Guide – WotLK

Welcome to the PVE Holy Priest Healing Guide for World of Warcraft Wrath of the Lich King!

This guide will teach you how to play a Holy Priest Healing in a raid. It covers talents, glyphs, gems, enchantments, rotation, and gameplay tips.

One of the advantages of being a Holy Priest is your ability to adapt to every situation. You can modify your rotations based on the circumstances. The Holy Priest’s arsenal encompasses a variety of spells: HoTs (Heal over Time), single-target and AoE (Area of Effect) spells, as well as instant spells and heals.

There are some variations in talents. Blessed Resilience is taken when you have good gear – that 3 % will make a difference, otherwise, take Improved Healing.

Lightwell is a good skill though a lot of people don’t use it. You can take a point off from Blessed Resilience or Test of Faith to unlock it.
