1 To obtain Argent Elite Shoulders, you need to buy or craft
Argent Shoulders with Tailoring 300. Bring
Argent Shoulders, 3
Skin of Shadow from Scholomance, and 4
Corruptor's Scourgestone from Scholomance or Stratholme to Quartermaster Miranda Breechlock at 81.6 60.0 in Western Plaguelands.
2 To get Benediction, you need
The Eye of Divinity from Molten Core and
The Eye of Shadow from Elite Demons or Lord Kazzak. Equip
The Eye of Divinity and talk to Eris Havenfire at 20.8 18.4 in Eastern Plaguelands, to start the quest
The Balance of Light and Shadow. This quest will lead you to
Benediction.
3 Without Tailoring, you can’t wear the item Argent Elite Shoulders. Fall back to
Mantle of Prophecy as your shoulder item. You might want to consider equipping
Leggings of Transcendence instead of
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. 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,
Shamans 1, and
Paladins 1.
Use the following sources to increase your Fire Resistance to the required threshold:
Mark of the Wild (up to 27 Fire Resistance if improved, does not stack with
Fire Resistance Totem)
Lesser Arcanum of Resilience (Head & Legs Enchants,
Libram of Resilience)
Blessed Flame Mantle of the Dawn (Argent Dawn – Exalted),
Flame Mantle of the Dawn (Argent Dawn – Revered)
Hydraxian Coronation (Hydraxian Waterlords – Honored)
Juju Ember (
Shardtooth E'ko at 61.8 38.2 in Winterspring)
Magic Resistance Potion (does not stack with
Mark of the Wild or
Fire Resistance Totem)
Fireproof Cloak (Molten Core)
Miniaturized Fire Extinguisher (Demon Fall Canyon)
Tidal Loop (
A Hero's Reward)
Dragonslayer's Signet (
Head of Onyxia)
Water Treads (Hydraxian Waterlords – Honored)
Dragonskin Cowl of Fire Resistance (Upper Blackrock Spire)
Crimson Shocker (Molten Core)
Miniaturized Combustion Chamber (Gnomeregan)
Drakefire Amulet (Blackrock Spire)
Wildfire Cape (Upper Blackrock Spire)
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 is hitting the Fire Resistance threshold without
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 totems or
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 or Disc
Priests in endgame raids at level 60:
Flask of Unyielding Sorrow
Mageblood Potion
Smoked Redgill
Major Mana Potion
Demonic Rune
Holy Priest Stat Priority
As a Holy Priest you want to prioritize gear with the following stats:
- Intellect
- Spell Damage / Healing
- Mana per 5 sec (MP5)
- 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.
