Best Holy Priest PvP Talents
This new talent system is dramatically different from our original Cataclysm talents. Now players are given way less options in terms of talent selection, and can even change their talents in the starting gate using Tome of the Clear Mind.
Here we have your default talents for Holy Priest. Let’s break down why these talents are so promising in MoP, and any alternatives you can select depending on the composition played or up against.
Hard-Locked Talents:
Divine Star is your only hard-locked talent here, and is quite convenient to deal damage and heal with thanks to its short cooldown and it being instant cast. Not to mention it’s on the Holy and Arcane school, giving you a button to press when you are locked out on your heals.
Soft-Locked Talents & Alternatives:
Psyfiend helps you land fears at a ranged distance without needing to cross the map.
Alternative: Dominate Mind is recommended to play with only in 2v2 as long as you are playing with another class with a lot of control. This includes Mages, Hunters, or Rogues.
Angelic Feather gives you a lot of mobility, allowing you to cross the map at ease in order to land Psychic Scream on the enemy team.
Alternative: Phantasm is picked if you are certain that you are the kill target against melee cleaves.
From Darkness, Comes Light provides you instant cast Flash Heal procs, which is a huge part of min-maxxing your burst healing.
Alternative: Mindbender is suitable in a 2v2 environment, but only if you are playing with a spec that can avoid damage well. This ability can deal a lot of damage and can help you score kills during offensive setups.
Spectral Guise is key to your bread and butter CC combo, and can even be used defensively as a vanish when paired with Power Word: Shield.
Alternative: Angelic Bulwark should be picked if you are lacking survivability and need some extra defensive bulk.
Twist of Fate helps you recover a bit faster at low HP, and can even be min-maxxed in terms of its uptime by keeping enemy pets at low health.
Alternative: Power Infusion is best in 2v2 as a heavy CC oriented composition. Although your damage as a Holy Priest isn’t very strong, this spell can help us pump out Smites during setups.
