Not re-verified for Season 2. This ordering was checked for patch 12.0.7. Patch 12.1 raised max-level player health and creature damage by 25% and deliberately moved power out of cooldowns into steady-state damage, either of which can move secondary weights. Open question: no Season 2 sim source has been checked, so the order below is last season's and is shown unchanged rather than guessed at.

Stat priority and consumables

Item level and effect strength still matter. Use this ordering to break close choices, then re-check it after major gear swaps.

1. 1.Item Level / Intellect›
2. 2.Raid: Critical Strike›
3. 3.Raid: Mastery›
4. 4.Mythic+: Haste›
5. 5.Mythic+: Versatility / Critical Strike

Raid starts Critical Strike > Mastery > Versatility > Haste. Mythic+ starts Haste > Versatility = Critical Strike > Mastery to support damage, survivability, and faster reactions. Mastery is excellent when its Echo of Light does not overheal, but its value falls in movement-heavy keys. Reassess close upgrades against your content and current gear.

Priority order is from patch 12.0.7 and has not been re-derived for 12.1. Individual lines naming an ability that 12.1 removed or redesigned are annotated above; lines that 12.1 only retuned are unchanged, because a damage number moving does not by itself reorder a priority list.

Opener and priority

Use these as decision priorities, not a rigid cast sequence. Re-evaluate whenever targets, resources, procs, or mechanics change.

Import strings were built for patch 12.0.7 and have NOT been re-verified for 12.1. Nobody authoritative publishes import strings, so none was rewritten here rather than invented. Patch 12.1 moved or removed talents in several trees, so a string may import a build that no longer exists. Check the listed key talents against the 12.1 changes above before importing.

Talents and hero trees

Use Oracle for the single-target profile below and Archon when cleave or adds make its toolkit more valuable.

Recommended starting profiles

Single-target: Oracle

Oracle doubles down on Prayer of Mending bounces and passive throughput.

• Oracle hero tree
• Stat priority: Intellect > Haste

Multi-target: Archon

Archon is the preferred tree, pairing Halo and Apotheosis; Ultimate Serenity keeps Prayer of Healing for AoE in Mythic+.

• Archon hero tree
• Prioritize AoE and add-swap talents

Season 1 acquisition targets, not re-verified for Season 2. The rows below name Season 1 items at their Season 1 item levels and are accurate as that; they are not Season 2 recommendations. Season 2's raid is The Venomous Abyss (8 bosses, Nek'zali the Soulcoiler through Ula'tek). Confirmed Season 2 raid item levels run 279 (Raid Finder, first boss) to 344 (Mythic, last two bosses and Very Rare drops), with Normal 292-302, Heroic 305-315 and the Great Vault paying 292/305/318/334 by difficulty. Open question: per-slot best-in-slot for Season 2 needs a sim source, and none was reachable.

Season 1 acquisition targets, not re-verified for Season 2. The dungeons named below are the Season 1 pool and are not in Season 2 rotation. Season 2 runs Altar of Fangs (new in 12.1), Murder Row, Den of Nalorakk, The Blinding Vale, Voidscar Arena, Temple of Sethraliss, Kings' Rest and Ruby Life Pools. Confirmed Season 2 keystone item levels: +2 through +3 pay 295 end-of-run and 305 in the vault, rising to 311 end-of-run and 318 in the vault at +10 and above. Open question: per-slot best-in-slot for Season 2 needs a sim source, and none was reachable.

Utility, defensives, and movement

Your Priest toolkit is part of the rotation whenever it prevents lost uptime, lethal damage, or an enemy cast.

Mass Dispel and Power Infusion are premier raid utility every roster wants.

Interface and macros

Use interface changes only when they expose a decision sooner: resources, procs, defensives, dispels, interrupts, and encounter assignments.

Written for patch 12.0.7. Patch 12.1 increased max-level player health and creature damage by 25% and made crowd-control diminishing returns reset after 20 seconds instead of 16, so defensive timing and crowd-control advice on this page is the most likely to have moved.

What improves results

• Keep Prayer of Mending bouncing and never waste its second charge
• Pair Halo with Apotheosis - both gain from the combination, and Halo's Surge of Light procs heal for more
• Hold a capped Holy Word only for a known imminent event
• Save Divine Hymn and Salvation for scripted spikes
• Shadow Word: Death instantly frees a Polymorphed ally - any damage breaks the sheep, so a quick SW:D bails out a mis-sheeped or CC'd teammate

Common mistakes

• Sitting on Prayer of Mending or Holy Word charges
• Ignoring the Oracle versus Archon Surge of Light priority
• Saving big cooldowns too long
• Ignoring Prayer of Mending uptime
