Priest at level 60: Holy healing
At 60 most priests heal with Holy: the widest set of heals in the game, group healing, and Discipline support for mana. This is a starting point: Forever has no raid results yet, so treat the build as preliminary. Leveling first? See the Shadow leveling guide.

Key talents. Holy Specialization adds critical heals, and Divine Fury shortens Heal and Greater Heal. Twilight Focus is new in Forever and protects all your casts from pushback. Improved Healing makes your main heals cheaper, Spiritual Guidance turns Spirit into healing, and Spiritual Healing raises all healing. Spirit of Redemption keeps you healing for a few seconds after death, and Lightwell gives the raid extra healing to click. From Discipline, Meditation keeps mana flowing while you cast, Inner Focus gives a free spell, and Improved Power Word: Fortitude strengthens your Stamina buff.
Healing priorities
- Heal or Greater Heal at the right rank for the tank; downrank to save mana.
- Flash Heal only when someone will die before a slower heal lands.
- Prayer of Healing when a group takes damage together.
- Renew and Power Word: Shield on targets taking steady damage; Inner Focus before an expensive heal.
- Dispel Magic and Cure Disease when your raid leader asks.
Stats
Healing power and Intellect first, then Spirit (Spiritual Guidance and Meditation make it worth more for Holy) and mana regeneration. Stamina enough to survive area damage.
In the group
Keep Power Word: Fortitude on everyone, watch your mana, and do not overheal. Fade drops threat if you pull healing aggro. Holy priests are usually given group healing or a tank.
The build is checked against the Forever client files (build 1.60.1.70790); priorities and stats follow the original game and will be revised with Forever raid results.
