Hi all,
I don’t normally post in the forums, but playing holy priest again this patch after a good amount of years, I just can say it’s flat boring, dull and repetitive. No flavour at all, uninteresting mechanic, mastery or CDs.
Regardless how good or bad its performance might be, there is anything attractive in it. I find that sad bc it was my first healing spec back in TBC and the following expansions.
This is just my opinion and I know Blizzard wouldn’t care less about it, but I hope at some point this spec get redone and fine a new inspiration, becuase its lack of personality make it the least interesting amoung of the healing spec in the game.
Hallowfall showed us that Blizzard can make Light visual appealing and interesting, and no just “cast heal + holy word” in a monotunous yellow light.
I would like your opinion about it and what could be a good direction for the spec in your opinion.

What makes a healer interesting? I would argue that, mechanically, Holy Priests aren’t any less interesting than other healers.
What other healers have you played and what makes them more appealing in your opinion?
Well, thematically, Holy Priests are meant to be light-wielders, same as Holy Paladins. I’m not really sure how this aesthetic could be improved.
The “cast heal + holy word” is a kind of a builder-spender mechanic that is present in other healing specs as well. It doesn’t really bother me because core mechanics of other healers are also kinda “boring,” it’s the sauce around it that makes it interesting.
One of my issues with the spec is that most of its cooldowns are mid to bad.
- Guardian Spirit is ok.
- Censure is ok.
- Symbol of Hope is meh.
- Divine Hymn is so archaic it shouldn’t be in the game.
- Lightwell isn’t worth the talent point.
The only worthwhile cooldown is Apotheosis.
The spec has just had a rework and the only notable thing that came out of it is the significant CD reduction of Sanctify. It seems really half-baked honestly.

It’s just heavily outshined by disc these past two seasons, disc is absolutely bonkers right now.
Bring back Renew in to the game at that it refresh when you heal people with any holy spell.
Make Renew a better spell fresh up the system make renew give Holy mastery and heal the people with instant heals when you put renew on them. bring back Hot’s holy.
Also make so Prayer of healing gives everyone Renew.-
Delete Prayer of healing or Buff it by 500 % because now it is Littarly Useless
