Thats the spec i tend to use when i play with my friends and single target heal with group heals form time to time which is y the Glyph is there
Most of the time i use crack servers to play so i played around with a ton messing with talents and suprisingly this worked at least it did for me

I’m desperately trying to become a better healer. I know all my weakness is in my armor and talent points (they are missaligned completely). I really would like to find a talent point tree to follow; i’m dual spec so if you have DPS too that would be great.

Finally, I’m being told everwhere that I need two sets of armor (which makes sense), but I honestly don’t fully understand the difference between healing gear and dps gear…if both use Spell. Is the difference in the amount of intellect and spirit?

Please help. My guild deserves better and I appreciate your time.

i’m just wondering, is Test of Faith a must have? my build:

http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#bVcbhZcxtccMqih0euNo

it’s actually specced that way because of my lack of spirit. i tried to put points in everything that reduced mana cost. my main spec is shadow priest and i stacked up in crits rather than spirit. but i’m hitting 80 and a lot of the gear that i piled up are 80 pvp gears… without spirit. i recently joined a guild that raids a lot though, so i don’t wanna fail too hard at healing. D: i am aware that i’ll need to get spiritful gear, but until then, i need to get a good spec.

so on that note, is Test of Faith really necessary? i was thinking of using the extra points to complete Divine Providence and throw one in Inner Focus.

@Theressa: Surge of Light is an absolute must have talent for Holy Priests. As you start developing your gear more and ranking up on the crit, the odds of Surge of Light proccing become higher and higher.

@Moantez: I suggest to:
– drop points from holy spec (into healing focus and holy reach)
– move 1 point from empowered healing into circle of healin (the minor loss is acceptable for the AoE gain)

You build has:
– the strongest single target heals
– the biggest stat gain, and consequently the best regen (not including rapture)

In gear I suggest:
– drop crit, you have little to no synergy with it and it is not a good throughput stat nor a decent efficiency stat
– stack haste as your best bet on throughput
– stack base stats (int spirit)
– Glyph of Renew, FHeal, Holy Nova

It’s an endurance build. However, in 3.1 pure builds have gained a lot of ground:
– you do not have the MT healing capacity of a disc priest
– without serendipity you do not have the best AoE healing of the holy priest.
– your strength will lie in endurance and not in burst healing
At best you can provide a support role throughout the entire run, rather than provide a burst-type healing but you won’t rock the world with that build. It was good in 3.0… but 3.1 has surpassed it.

@borgadril

Since Penance is a pretty cheap spell, unless you’re having extreme mana problems I’d still choose the crit in Focused Will over the 10% price reduction of Penance

Anyone as unimpressed with the Glyph of Guardian Spirit as I am? If the fight relies on using cooldowns on the tank, then the glyph is useless because GS will have been triggered. So basically, it’s only useful to you if you’re doing a lot of guesswork with your GS, which happens, but not frequently enough to justify a major glyph slot imo.
