The Best Holy Priest Healing Gear
December 2, 2008

Last updated: 12/02/08.

-

This is a list of the best holy priest healing gear from Wrath of the Lich King.  It includes all gear obtainable from pre-TBC, TBC, and WotLK, and gear from all sources (BoE, crafted, raided, quested, PvP’d, etc.). For simplicity’s sake, DPS gear is not listed unless it is a set piece better than its healing counterpart.  Hit gear is not listed.

The items are scored according to their stats.  The higher the score, the better.  Anything within 2.5 points of something else is more a side-grade than an upgrade.

Item procs are taken into account.  Item set bonuses are listed at the end (and not added into the rankings individually).  Best gems are considered.

More information about the list can be found at the end of the post.

More About This List:

This list was created using stat weight of all priest healing stats and summing them to get the item scores.  Items were then ranked according to their scores.

Here are the stat weights used:

0.74 Intellect
0.54 Spirit
0.35 Haste
0.15 Crit
1.00 MP5
0.60 Spellpower

Lootrank was used to compile much of the information.  It is a great tool.  If you want to tweak the stat weights to come up with your own list, you can start by clicking here.

Gems, especially meta gems, played a large role.  Best gemming is assumed in the gear rankings.  Just because an item is ranked highly, especially a PvP item, doesn’t mean it is better if it’s not optimally gemmed for healing.

Stamina isn’t taken into account. It doesn’t directly affect your healing.  It is your responsibility to ensure that you have enough stamina to survive the encounters.  Keep higher stamina pieces around for when you need them.  For the most part, you won’t have to go much out of your way to worry about stamina.  The Northrend gear has plenty.

This list is just a list a suggestions – a set of guidelines, if you will. A (slightly outdated) overview of the math used to come up with this list can be found in this post.  If you have a vastly different playstyle, raid composition, talent selection, gear, etc., your results may vary.  This list is aimed at the typical raiding holy priest.

Updates to this list will be here, and here only. Bookmark and come back to it to stay updated.  Please do not post this list elsewhere on the web!
