Best Race

Shadowmeld can immune incoming projectiles like Mortal Coil and Chaos Bolt, drop combat to drink, and remove yourself as the enemy's target. Extremely versatile defensive racial.

Will of the Forsaken removes Fear CC effects and puts your PvP Medallion on a 30 second cooldown. Essential against Warlock and Warrior compositions that rely on Fear effects.

Stat Priority
Mastery: Echo of Light > Versatility > Haste > Critical Strike

Mastery: Echo of Light provides healing over time after your direct heals, making it your best secondary stat for sustained throughput. Versatility increases your healing and reduces damage taken, essential for PvP survivability as a healer. Haste reduces cast times and GCD, providing faster healing response in emergencies. Critical Strike is the lowest priority as Holy relies more on consistent healing rather than burst healing.
