This mega is Priest Holy with Discipline on 1 PvE page for instance healing. You cover Barrow Deeps (10), Hyjal Summit (20) and Onyxia (40). Race matrix and Divine Spirit: Priest hub and Priest racials. Blizzard published the Priest talents on 30 September, and the 15 October notes let several Priests keep Renew on 1 target and widen Power in Light and Twin Disciplines. Ranks stay provisional (beta, 30 September 2026).

Holy and Disc on dungeon and raid nights

  • October 15, 2026 patch notes. Several Priests can now keep Renew on 1 target: the 15 October notes fix the bug where high ranks of Renew blocked it. Power in Light boosts Smite and Penance on targets with Holy Fire or Shadow Word: Pain, and Twin Disciplines covers Shadow Word: Death, Mind Flay, Starshards and Penance. Full list: October 15 patch notes. On our tier list Holy holds A for healers and Discipline holds S.

Holy and Disc spend for raid healing

Blizzard published the Forever talent trees for Priest on 30 September, and ranks stay provisional (beta, 30 September 2026). Milestone math lives on the calculator and the Priest hub. This page covers how Holy and Disc play in groups.

Holy, published 30 September. Binding Heal is the 16-point talent: it heals you and your target at once, tuned to match Flash Heal even when you need no healing. Prayer of Mending is the 31-point talent: it heals the next time its target takes damage, then jumps to a nearby ally, up to 5 heals. Litany of Light returns part of a heal’s Mana when you alternate spells, and Lightwell and Improved Prayer of Healing are gone. Discipline gets Soul Warding at 16 points, Penance at 21 and Divine Aegis, which turns critical heals into a short absorb shield. Since the 15 October notes Power in Light boosts Smite and Penance on targets with Holy Fire or Shadow Word: Pain. Twin Disciplines now covers Shadow Word: Death, Mind Flay, Starshards and Penance.

Baseline for every Priest. Prayer of Healing now heals the whole party of your target, and Renew from several Priests stacks on 1 target. The 15 October notes fix the bug where high ranks of Renew blocked it. Fear Ward and Devouring Plague come at level 20 for every race, Divine Spirit at 30 and Shadow Word: Death at 32. Dual Specialization opens at level 40, so Holy and Disc can share 1 character.

Early levels: Renew and Flash Heal while questing. Stay in Holy or Disc. Do not invent Shadow parses on this page.

Mid levels: Holy covers dungeon spikes. Blizzard named the Disc absorb talents but not their numbers, so call every absorb figure provisional.

At 60: finish Holy or Disc, then the Forever gold-medal talents. Do not invent a Classic 51-point total. Recheck after each beta build, since the Priest kit posted on 30 September.

Spirit and mp5 into the 9 December raids

Holy wants Spirit, mp5 and +healing. Disc wants the same until absorbs get published weights. Week 1 quest blues, then dungeons sets, then raid.

Week 1. Swap healer pieces every 5 levels. Week-1 healer gear.

Weeks 2 to 3. 1 full dungeons clear for quests, then open world. Pre-raid healer set.

From 9 December. Walk Barrow Deeps (10 players, 8 bosses), Hyjal Summit (20, 13 bosses) and Onyxia’s Lair (40). Blizzard has not announced the unlock hour. Replace slots from lockouts. Raid carries.

Every other spec, and the 18 tier 1 sets: BiS lists for every spec.

Open raid offer →Walk dungeon blues into Barrow Deeps with Holy already selected.

Raid frames for Holy and Disc

Healer raid tools. Battleground UI lives on Holy PvP.

  • Grid / VuhDo-style frames: Renew and shield icons on the raid.
  • Clique-style click bindings: Flash Heal without targeting lag.
  • DBM / BigWigs: damage windows from 9 December.
  • Mana tracker: long Hyjal pulls.

Damage meters belong on Shadow PvE. Quest helpers belong on the leveling guide.

Leveling hours and the 2 speeds

Holy quests on Renew and Flash Heal still finish 1 to 60 on the 150-hour board; since the 1 October beta build, dungeon quests pay 50% less bonus XP, so the route leans on open-world quests. 1 booster is $299 in about 14 days. 2 boosters in shifts is $420 in about 7 days. A human Pro plays your Priest in our own gaming hubs, on a PC dedicated to your account and a residential IP in your city, so the climb looks exactly like you playing from home. Preselect Human or Gnome. Route. Skip the grind.
