Theyāre buffing our already strong single-target healing instead of addressing our complete lack of multi-target healing in m+. Itās time to just reroll.

I love my Holy Priest so much that i cannot change even spec.8 years I am playing Holy Priest,i can play other classes but Priest is my baby.
Holy
- Holy Word: Serenity healing increased by 30%.
- Flash Heal healing increased by 40%.
- Holy Word: Salvationās cooldown is now reduced by 15 seconds (was 30 seconds) by Holy Word: Serenity and Holy Word: Sanctify.
- Symbol of Hope now restores 10% of missing mana (was 15%).
- Symbol of Hope recovers 40 seconds of cooldown for a major defensive ability (was 60 seconds).
- Holy Word: Sanctify now heals up to 5 allies (was 6).
- Divine Star healing decreased by 25%.
- Halo healing decreased by 15%
All in all its probably a net positive for M+, with trail of light and mastery, 2 charges of serenity you can do quite a lot of aoe healing on a party.
They are weird changes though, its make holy priests strengths stronger, not addressed its weaknesses and then theyāve just nerfed random things like symbol of hope because nerfing PI, mass dispel, mind soothe etc wasnāt enough.
Feels like they picked them out of a hat, while drunk.

@Dejarous thanks for your info.This changes can work very nice into m+ as far i see.
I feel like holy priest was already bad in mm+ and like āāok goodāā in raidā¦ and now they nerf all the utility nerf what make the holy priest good in raid and doesnāt care about mm+ā¦ it feel so sad to see all of that :c (and sorry for my bad english ;-; )
huge buff on the serenity with occasional renew ticks supplying you with 2x āfree chargesā on serenity but like elahri say nothing on the multi-target
on the meantime druids set make the broccoli lil bros now cleave
Restoration
(2) Set Bonus: You and your Grove Guardianās Nourishes now heal 2 additional allies within 40 yds at 40% effectiveness.
(4) Set Bonus: Clearcasting now causes your Regrowth to also cast Nourish onto a nearby injured ally at 200% effectiveness, preferring those with your heal over time effects.
it looks as broccoli is back on the menu 
well they always said they double down on strength instead of fixing the weaknessesā¦ maybe they are back to that mentality 
It could also be that the new dungeons dont have the requirement for constant and massive aoe heals as S2 did
Itās waycrest.
Itās atalādazar.
The Salvation change is devastating.
Iām not fond of these changes, as Deja said, some of them seem just blind malice.
they had some heavy aoe burst dmg but if i remember correctly this didnāt happen like every 20s like we have now.
wat holy priest only saw disc
weāre back

The tree boss in waycrest is gonna be borderline unhealable as a holy priest unless they give us more aoe healing once you go higher. It pulsates every second for high amounts of damage to the whole party when you clear stacks.
You can cheese it to a certain level by having the tank take massive amounts of damage because your single-target healing and the tank can handle it to a certain point but when the damage on the tank becomes overwhelming, you need to clear stacks and then the party damage happens, which holy priests likely will struggle with because itās gonna be big damage and itās gonna happen every second. If you cheese it this way, better hope you can burn the tree before you have to clear stacks.
I donāt trust them at all to get the tuning right. I think weāre gonna see a repeat of early season 1 for holy priests in 10.2 where we will struggle to heal heal certain fights once you go higher because thereās party wide damage that happens too fast to triage it with single-target heals and we have no aoe healing.
PoH needs to be made worth pressing, not a 12k heal per individual. It really needs to actually fill peopleās health bars up when you use it rather than healing not even a fraction of the damage that happens. Itās not even worth picking our spammable aoe heal in m+ because itās so weak. Like my flash heal on average in a dungeon heals 39k normal right now, crits on average 72k and then trail of light cleaves it to someone else, so I can heal roughly the same amount in one cast of flash heal as a prayer of healing does, even though poh is party-wide. One cast of prayer of healing does roughly 12k per individual, totalling like 50k healing on the party.
Flash heal is getting buffed by 40% in 10.2. My flash heal on the PTR heals for, according to the tooltip: ~49k, then 35% of that cleaves with trail of light. My prayer of healing: ~12k on 5 targets.
Itās better to just triage with flash heal than casting a poh, 12k heals arenāt gonna keep people alive when people are losing several percentages of their health every second, it would need to heal like 30-40k per individual at current gear levels to be worth speccing into and pressing rather than triaging with single-target healing. Them buffing our single-target only makes this even more of a thing, it was already strong and it gets even stronger in 10.2.

looks like our aoe heal will consist of getting lucky serenity resets lol
I mean prayer of healing is crap, holy word sanctify is crap and circle of healing is also crap, even with 50 stacks.
It is actually crazy how 4 of the aoe heals we have are so bad haha
ok in raid are u for real? They where one of the best healers in Aberrus Top 3 tbh, in m+ i dont see any problems tho as holy u have alot of ST heals where u dont need alot of AoE tbh. If there is heavy AoE dmg owkey could be a problem but stil. Now the mass dispell nerf its a huge one but a very well needed one. The symbols of hope nerf thats abit weird tbh. The PI will not change a thing for holy priests.
Maybe you donāt see any problems because you havenāt gone high enough for it to become a problem.
Edit: After checking you up - of course youāre someone who buy boosts, lol.
euhm correction Elahri I never have buyed a boost for an M+ dungeon ON MY HOLY PRIEST. for raiding ofc i do i am not going to clear a raid on MY ALTS.
also i have been with u in M+ before and yeā¦
Thereās quite a lot of AOE damage in waycrest.
No, you havenāt, lol.
You probably canāt even name my character that I supposedly played in the supposed run.
Iām gonna put a big fat:
