Priest
General Tips-
- Remember Power Word: Shield. It can stop a teammate from dying long enough for you to get a heal to them.
- Buff everyone with Power Word: Fortitude. Extra stamina is always good, and it lasts for 30 minutes.
- If there is a backup healer in the group, Mana Burn caster monsters. They¡¯re physical attacks are weaker than melee monsters. This is also useful for monsters that heal themselves, which can turn an easy battle into an extended drain on the group.
- Shadowform allows you to do very high damage, but you cannot heal. Make sure the group knows if you plan on using Shadowform.
- Coordinate with any backup healers you may have. Usually, a backup healer will heal the main healer. Another common strategy is to eliminate downtime by having the two healers rotate battles.
- Shackle Undead will completely remove an undead target from battle for up to 50 seconds. Its mana cost is low, so you should use it even if you are healing.
Aggro Management-
- Priest healing draws a lot of aggro. Try to use Renew to keep the party near full.
- Greater Heal should only be used in emergencies, or if the tank has a lot more aggro than you.
- Fade can be a lifesaver, as well as prevent wipes. It¡¯s also useful to use Greater Heal, and then Fade.
- If you¡¯re taking damage, try to resist the urge to heal yourself. If there is anyone else in the party that can bandage or heal you, let them. Healing yourself can create an endless loop of aggro.
