Holy Priest Healing Gear and Best in Slot - Season 4 (2024)

Last updated on Apr 22, 2024 at 12:50by Niphyr45 comments

Due to the wide variety of gear providing secondary stats that are all veryclose in value for us and augments such as sockets or tertiary stats, there isno certain Best in Slot list. This page aims to guide you toward the bestpossible items, particularly in Trinket slots.

For regular item slots that are not used by tier or trinket/weapon effects,you will want to focus on item level while keeping the following in mind:

• Socket — Around 10 item levels.
• Leech — Around 15 item levels. **
• Avoidance — Around 5 item levels. ***

** Note: The value of leech drops off the more you get. It is quitevaluable up until you reach 4-5 items with it; then, the value can drop off quitesignificantly. Focus on prioritizing item level if you reach this much leechfrom your gear.

*** Note: The value of avoidance depends heavily on the encounter. Itis often much more valuable in Mythic+ as it can save you from many abilitiesthat deal a large amount of damage. In the Raid, it varies from encounter toencounter, and its value could range from 0 item levels up to 10.

To learn more about stats and how they affect your gearing, check out theHoly Priest Stats page linked below.

Season 4 offers a way to target specific, powerful items with the new Antique Bronze Bullion.Here are the best items to spend your Bullions on in Dragonflight Season 4.

• Ominous Chromatic Essence (If others in your group are using it)
• Whispering Incarnate Icon (If others in your group are using it)
• Rashok's Molten Heart, Screaming Black Dragonscale or Broodkeeper's Promise if your group aren't running either of the above trinkets. **
• Dreambinder, Loom of the Great Cycle, if still missing a weapon.

** Note: Rashok's Molten Heart, Screaming Black Dragonscale and Broodkeeper's Promise are extremely close in value and which one youdecide to use is personal preference.

The following is a ranking of trinkets aimed at use in a raid environmentunless mentioned otherwise. These rankings are formulated with all trinkets atthe same item level. Due to how close in value most trinkets in each tier are,generally, it is the higher item level that will decide which one isoptimal.

The trinkets you will want to focus on enhance your performance byincreasing your stats. You will typically want to avoid trinkets that provide ahealing or shielding effect as they do not scale as well as the stat trinkets.If you are not great at using "on-use" trinkets, feel free to opt for a morepassive option that is easier to use, as you will likely get much more benefitfrom it.

You should aim to acquire two S-Tier trinkets eventually. Trinkets from the A tierin particular are strong enough to still perform well until you can get yourhands on one of the top tier trinkets.

• Ominous Chromatic Essence (Aberrus).
• Whispering Incarnate Icon (Vault of the Incarnates).
• Screaming Black Dragonscale (Aberrus).
• Rashok's Molten Heart (Aberrus).
• Broodkeeper's Promise (Vault of the Incarnates).

• Neltharion's Call to Suffering (Aberrus).
• Pip's Emerald Friendship Badge (Amirdrassil).
• Ruby Whelp Shell (Ruby Life Pools).
• Smoldering Seedling (Amirdrassil).
• Emerald Coach's Whistle (Algeth'ar Academy)
• Spoils of Neltharus (Neltharus).

• Alacritous Alchemist Stone (Alchemy).
• Sustaining Alchemist Stone (Alchemy).
• Idol of the Lifebinder (Jewelcrafting).
• Idol of the Spell-Weaver (Jewelcrafting).

Due to the large number of trinkets available in Season 4, only thoseconsidered B-Tier or higher have been listed.

The tier bonus for Season 4 is passively applying Renewthrough using your existing talents, Holy Word: Sanctify, and Holy Word: Serenity. These Renews periodically trigger a powerful buffwhich prevents your next cast of a Holy Word from consuming a charge. You shouldprioritize obtaining your 4-set bonus as soon as possible. Which 4 slots youobtain does not matter; it is only important that you have the bonus.

• 2-set: Priest Holy 10.2 Class Set 2pc - Holy Word: Serenityapplies 14 sec of Renew to its target. Holy Word: Sanctify applies 5 sec ofRenew to allies it heals.
• 4-set: Priest Holy 10.2 Class Set 4pc - Renew's healing has achance to cause your next Holy Word: Sanctify or Holy Word: Serenity to notconsume a charge when cast and cost 50% less Mana, accumulating up to 2charges.

Neither of the set bonuses changes how we play. It is important to understandthe renews provided from regular Prayer of Mending casts, as well as the2-set bonus Priest Holy 10.2 Class Set 2pc provide enough renews to generateall of the 4-set procs. You should not be casting Renew despite the setbonus appearing as though it rewards it.

We suggest you aim for the following Embellishments when crafting your gear:

1. Elemental Lariat - This neck has a unique Embellishment, providing astrong secondary stat bonus, increasing with the number of sockets on your gear.
2. Allied Wristguards of Time Dilation - These bracers provide not onlyyourself, but some nearby allies with increased Versatility.

Undulating Sporecloak had all of its effects heavily reduced in patch10.2 and is no longer recommended. Magazine of Healing Darts is apotential replacement if you are unable to craft either of the two recommendeditems.

The remainder of the embellishments provide much less value and should beavoided where possible.

There are no specific Necklaces or Rings which you should be aiming for. Whenchoosing between your Jewellery items, try to keep in mind the stat priority foryour preferred mode of content to help decide which stats to prioritize.

There are no specific Weapons you should be aiming for. Try to obtain thehighest item level Staff or Main-hand and Off-hand combination that you can,regardless of their secondary stats.

The Valor Upgrade system is gone in Season 2 and is replaced by a new systemthat allows for item upgrades to be obtained from a wider variety ofcontent.

Dragonflight Season 2 introduces two new currencies: Flightstones andShadowflame Crests are both obtainable from practically all forms of content in thegame. They can be used to upgrade gear up to Item Level 441, which isentry-level Mythic Raid Item Level. They can also upgrade Crafted Gear up toiLvl 447, which is late-Mythic Item Level.

You should aim to upgrade weapons and trinkets first, then your chest, helm,and legs.

For more information on the new Gear Upgrades system, check out our dedicatedpage for it below.

As with Valor, the cost to upgrade scales differs per slot but now alsoincreases quickly as item levels go up.

Once you have obtained a piece of gear containing a prismatic socket orneeding to be enchanted, you will need to know how to modify it. Details aboutthese tweaks can be found on our dedicated gems, enchants, and consumables page.
