[Legion] 7.3 Holy Priest Mythic+ Guide

[@djmaz6266]

If you have KJ trinket use the two stacks prior to the key starting, it resets the CD when it starts but you can have 4 for the beginning 2 minutes. Not much use but can save a life early on like that warrior, every second counts in high keys!

[@mmaza1818]

You sure about that? I remember doing that once and it reset the CD, but also took off the buffs.

[@Moleanimationchannel]

It certainly takes off the buffs

[@Philp4Pa]

Demon Hunters can still use metamorph pre-pull and keep their buff. So try it out, might work.

[@tobiasnerbring2046]

Great video as allways Jak and thank you for making me interested in Holy again. I played Disc almost exclusively and now i realize why I didnt like Holy as much, I didnt understand it! Definitely gonna try it out now again!

[@matthewcook4956]

Love your videos, Jack. Very informing and well explained. Thanks

[@Brelinka128]

Super helpful!! Thx Jak!

[@Sparkly_Mew]

i love you! really thank you for the upload!

[@vhan2902]

Great vid. Got tired of tanking so I leveled a Holy priest. Insta ques for everything and a ton of fun to play. This vid helped me out alot

[@leonardodavinci5902]

Hey Jak, How do you feel about archive of faith? I feel like I just can't bring myself to swap out DGD or archive for dungeons. The archive helps me save tank lives, and also helps me do more dps since I have (essentially) another serenity available t me. I Also feel like i can do *WAY* more damage as holy than disc. about 700+ on single target with apotheosis or sometimes upwards of 4mil on trash like imps where as disc i can't do more than 500k ever. My second question is 'how do you deal with things like mariner or Hyrja on high keys. This is where Disc seems to have the huge advantage. I can heal through one iteration of these things by using all my CDs, but as these mechanics tick 2 or 3 times i find myself straining to heal people.

[@chrisgamble3132]

Hello. I'm curious as to what your stat allocation is exactly, in raids and mythic+ seperately. As mastery is indeed of less importance in mythic+, im running with (crit/haste/mastery) 33/32/43 for mythic+ and 28/21/54 for raids. I'm 940 ilvl. What about you?

[@eljott9644]

I still play @medium high keys with circle of healing and enduring and binding, i think it works well, when you do not have to deal with that heavy burst dmg so for +16 and lower

[@Bone772]

What is your opinion on using the legendary helm, The Alabaster Lady, for the apotheosis procs and the legendary ring, Soul of the High Priest, for the surge of light procs instead of taking those talents for mythics?

[@AutomaticJak]

Too inconsistent and unpredictable. There are more reliable options to utilize

[@Kuehlschrank83]

Maybe its worth mentioning that the legendary cloak in m+ wont reset its debuff after death/wipe. 10 minutes after death not only the cloaks effect wont work but you cant go guardian spirit at all...

[@RayHikes]

Jak, have you tried using the wrists (muze's unwavering will) as disc? It's not as useful as some of the other disc leggos but it seems like it might be a decent DPS choice, if you can reliably get that cast time reduction of smite.

[@zachnadela4629]

Hey Jak, big follower! :) I push higher keys with my friends and I always have trouble saving people when DHT is over 15 on Tyrannical as Holy. It just seems they get one shot by Xavius on his channeled spell. Any tips on keeping them up? I've been using GS and KJ's, but I feel our group runs out of answers towards the end of the fight.

[@masteroshi999]

Seen a lot of people shit talking the talent ring legendary... is it that bad? Piety is an insanely strong talent since it gives you very mana efficient and time efficient extra cool down on HW sanctify BUT surge of light really fills the gap that holy priests have for M+. Velens is generally accepted as the go to 2nd legendary after prydaz but I'm really thinking soul of the high priest could be better... thoughts?

[@courtneyhudson88]

So, I've watched both holy and disc and play both in raid/mythic +...My question, which do you feel pulls ahead in mythic + as far as value to the group as a healer? So far for me, it has been my preference based on the tank (if they heal themselves a lot like a DK, I usually prefer to be disc so I'm pumping out consistent damage). Just thought maybe you have some input on value as a healer in higher keys.

[@gatetoasgard5820]

I like how in every new patch I think I know what I'm doing but I always end up doing something wrong 😂

[@zavodskylisa]

Weird qn but do you use surge of light or binding heal with T21 4 piece? I find the AOE healing from rotating BH and PoH amazing but then again, I only heal M15-18s. Not sure if SoL would help more for AOE healing since the free flash heal should theoretically empower my PoH and in turn increase my AOE healing.

[@AutomaticJak]

I generally go Surge as I often will need some hyper mobile healing here and there when pushing higher. Holy's resources on the move are pretty limited so Surge can help you get out of certain situations

[@zavodskylisa]

Automatic Jak Thanks for the insight :)

[@BloodElfB]

Quick question, does the Hallowed Ground relic trait stack (twice for example) and potentially decrease the CD of Sanctify by 26secs?

[@AutomaticJak]

All relics stack yes

[@BloodElfB]

Automatic Jak awesome thanks!

[@taom4itu]

I tried using the talent Shining Force after watching your video in a DHT 11. My party members almost left :D And I was so sure the mobs backs were on the wall :( I am sticking to Censure after this experience, safer ..

[@Hemestal]

that's because you don't just pop SF unless your tank is going to kite stuff, blasting the mobs away for no apparent reason can be more detrimental than helpful

[@mrBytemare]

what addons do you reccomend?

[@Semeyon]

Insanely usefull

[@xinganghuang8358]

Hi Jak. I have dis priest question. Do you know how to track amount of penance and shield cast in a single boss fight. Try to improve because didn't meet the minimum spell cast during boss fight.

[@djmaz6266]

Xin Gang Huang Do you use logs?

[@xinganghuang8358]

what log you asking? how you pull up logs?

[@jeffrodick7291]

Hey jak, I believe I'm the kind of person who does a majority of mythic+ over raids. I got the abalaster lady, al'meish the cord of hope, and muzes bracers. I almost always run with the brackets, but I'm not too sure which other of my legend aries would be more beneficial. Any tips? -Thanks

[@Ivan-ez3ps]

Do you use setpieces for higher mythics or focus mainly on your stats?

[@AutomaticJak]

Always 4pc for Holy M+. Its insanely strong

[@Chuck_Tarnish]

How do you set up your artifact???

[@NorwegianMetalFan]

Question, does Shining Force remove my party's DoTs like druids Mass Entanglement?

[@AutomaticJak]

NorwegianMetalFan nope! All dots remain

[@NorwegianMetalFan]

That's a relief :)

[@fumiko6491]

How do you feel about Piety + Benediction on easier runs?

[@AutomaticJak]

On easier runs you can run with whatever you prefer.

[@daniellin4974]

Whoa. What is that thing on the last boss that gave you options of food and like spiraled in.

[@AutomaticJak]

Addon called OPie! Its super helpful!

[@daniellin4974]

I got it and I LOVE the heck out of it. Use it for food mounts pots cooldowns etc. I probably use it for too much LOL. Also another question. What are best stats for m+ for holy and how did you get that bar off the buffs you had on each player?

[@Shocke89]

I'm running mythic plus without having his build just fine... folks binding heal is a beast because it is mana friendly... and it triggers for both your power words serenity and sanctify. use serenity for big single heal on dps that does not get out of stupid stuff... Binding heal instead of flash heal unless you have procs. sanctify for stacking up and healing large aoe damage. I tried this build and it really sucked. binding heal is really good now would suggest you try it.

[@AutomaticJak]

You don't need mana efficiency when you can stop and drink in M+

[@Hemestal]

absolutely. I'm a binding heal junky in H and M raiding, but binding heal just doesn't quite cut it in M+, specially in the higher keys when people are taking a lot of abuse, an instant cast from surge of light can be a life saver.

[@RexxyRobin]

I am sooo far from being able to fully utilize this, but awesome vid :D

[@WattaPork]

In case someone doesn't know, Binding Heal has insane synergy with Enduring Renewal - it refreshes Renews on ALL 3 targets. Literally first thing i tried when i first spec'd holy on my twink priest, but i havent seen this anywhere in guides..

[@AutomaticJak]

Its because its too high maintenance to easily perform and sustain. You end up playing a mini-game of refreshing renews instead of healing relevant damage. There's niche scenarios where it can perform well, but it is rarely ever worth to use in M+.

[@Hemestal]

Refreshing renews does absolutely nothing for you in high keys when people are taking 2m, 3m hits constantly, some times even higher dmg than that. That's why usually we focus on faster casting times and the burst potential of crit. Trail of light works wonders because 80% of the times, the dmg intake will come in the same succession hitting the same people (A.k.a melee), that way you can keep your tank up and the squishy melee up with ease, and finally, surge of light is awesome when your haste is high enough, even tho the proc isn't reliable, it'll save lives more times than it doesn't and gives you that edge in high mobility instances when you can't sit and spam BH. I'm a binding heal junky in Heroic and mythic raiding, it's really powerful, but really lackluster in anything above 14. but i'll admit i swap talents a lot. While i'll focus more on single target in most situations, BH comes super handy for example vs curator, which is a long ass fight with everyone stacked up.

[@Doctor_Tumnus]

Can I have that divine hymn macro? :)

[@lailam2083]

i dont play my holy priest anymore :c i mained resto druid/ hpalla they covered my funn in healers...and im glad xD tier 21 for holy priest looks like a joke D:

[@bestLetsplayer]

Time stamps please!

[@TheDietzmeister]

How to do M+ as Holy Priest, GO DISC... Got to 2200~ going ham at the beginning as Holy and now no one wants me because we are the handicap healer for M+. Feels bad man.

[@perbjorkhem]

Thanks but I would like to see you play. How do you heal, in what order do you click etc. All the guides on the net is just talk, talk, talk and no show.

[@AutomaticJak]

Per Björkhem did you watch the video? In the background is me playing, and in the top left it shows what I casted and who it casted on. I also stream every day doing keys almost every day when I’m not raiding

[@perbjorkhem]

Automatic Jak thanks. What I am looking for is a video where you comment what you are doing. I.e. "first i click prayer of h and then I renew etc etc." Its very hard for me as a noob to see whats happening in your video. Especially since you use an addon.

[@Farmhousehorror]

With the legendary ring Wichother 75 talent is better

[@MrAlexomagic]

Dead High delete the ring and when you realize you can't put it in your bank and never look back
