SoD Phase 4 Heal Priest BiS List

The following Heal Priest Priest BiS list contains the best items you can get in Phase 4 of Season of Discovery to heal in raids and dungeons:

1 To obtain Argent Elite Shoulders Argent Elite Shoulders, you need to buy or craft Argent Shoulders Argent Shoulders with Tailoring 300. Bring Argent Shoulders Argent Shoulders, 3 Skin of Shadow Skin of Shadow from Scholomance, and 4 Corruptor's Scourgestone Corruptor's Scourgestone from Scholomance or Stratholme to Quartermaster Miranda Breechlock at 81.6 60.0 in Western Plaguelands.
2 To get Benediction Benediction, you need The Eye of Divinity The Eye of Divinity from Molten Core and The Eye of Shadow The Eye of Shadow from Elite Demons or Lord Kazzak. Equip The Eye of Divinity The Eye of Divinity and talk to Eris Havenfire at 20.8 18.4 in Eastern Plaguelands, to start the quest QuestThe Balance of Light and Shadow. This quest will lead you to Benediction Benediction.
3 Without Tailoring, you can’t wear the item Argent Elite Shoulders Argent Elite Shoulders. Fall back to Mantle of Prophecy Mantle of Prophecy as your shoulder item. You might want to consider equipping Leggings of Transcendence Leggings of Transcendence instead of Pants of Prophecy Pants of Prophecy as your legs.
4 You can run 4 items of your tier 0.5 set for more sustainability together with Leggings of Transcendence Leggings of Transcendence. The performance in comparison to 6 set items form tier 1 (Molten Core) is very close and it comes down to personal preference. Learn where to get the tier 0.5 items in our pre-BiS list below.

Fire Resistance for Heat Level 2 and Heat Level 3

To raid the more difficult heat levels in Molten Core you need to hit Fire Resistance thresholds. For Heat Level 2 you need at least 96 Fire Resistance and for Heat Level 3 you need at least 226 Fire Resistance. To increase your Fire Resistance you can equip gear, utilize enchantments, use consumables, and get buffs from your Druids Druids, Shamans Shamans 1, and Paladins Paladins 1.

Use the following sources to increase your Fire Resistance to the required threshold:

Using Fire Resistance items often results in a DPS loss in comparison to your BiS list. After you’ve acquired new raid items recalculate your Fire Resistance and re-optimize your gear loadout.

🔥 Since the boss Garr from Molten Core can dispel magic effects, you should make sure your Priest Priest is hitting the Fire Resistance threshold without Mark of the Wild Mark of the Wild for that specific fight. This might require you to have some off-pieces for that boss fight.

1 For most guilds, it is not recommended to rely on Shaman Shaman totems or Paladin Paladin auras to hit the minimum Fire Resistance thresholds. If the aura or totem is out of range or the player dies, you will lack Fire Resistance. Use the totems or auras as additional mitigation, but calculate your Fire Resistance without them.

Healer Priest Consumables in SoD

The following list of consumables can be used by Holy Priests Priests or Disc Priests Priests in endgame raids at level 60:

Holy Priest Stat Priority

As a Holy Priest Priest you want to prioritize gear with the following stats:

  1. Intellect
  2. Spell Damage / Healing
  3. Mana per 5 sec (MP5)
  4. Spirit

The value of Spirit and MP5 decreases if you’re not running out of mana. Pure +Healing is generally less sought after in SoD compared to Classic Era. In Classic Era “+Healing” would allow you to downrank your healing spells. In SoD a lot of your healing power comes from runes and runes can’t be downranked, which makes Healing less impactful compared to Classic Era.

DPS Build for Shadow Priests in Season of Discovery

To play as a DPS-Priest Priest in dungeons and raids, use the WoW SoD Shadow Priest Spec. This spec is optimized to deal the maximum amount of damage.
