Holy spend for focus healing

Named ranks stay provisional (beta, 24 September 2026). Milestone numbers live on the hub and the calculator.

Leveling in PvP: heal yourself, Fear packs, keep moving. Do not spec full Shadow on this page.

At 60 the beta read is Holy throughput plus optional Disc shields. Exact absorb numbers stay off this page until Blizzard posts them.

Will to Survive and Will of the Forsaken live on the racial table: Priest racials.

Healer honor through focus brackets

Holy honor pieces want +healing and survivability. Early quest greens only plug holes.

Bracket start. Quest healer slots before rank pieces. Early healer PvP pieces.

Climb weeks. Push mid then high brackets on the live PvP book while you heal focus fire. Rank 14 offer.

After raids open. Take a raid healer drop only when +healing clearly wins. Raid carries.

Gadgets that save focused allies

Focus rooms want Engineering peels and Tailoring cloth. The live PvP Ultimate card is Engineering with Tailoring. Open a card to preselect Holy on a contested realm.
