MoP Classic P5 Holy Priest Guide
Choose Chakra by combat type, Prayer of Mending and Circle of Healing for sustained raid damage, Serenity/Sanctuary by single-target or grouped scenarios.
Core resource:Mana
Core Rotation
- Chakra: Serenity serves single-target; Chakra: Sanctuary serves grouped raid damage; switch before the pressure window.
- Use Prayer of Mending on cooldown on stable damage takers; use Circle of Healing only when enough targets are hit.
- Serendipity stacks speed up Prayer of Healing/Greater Heal; schedule Divine Hymn during sustained raid damage.
Mechanics and Opener
- Chakra：Chakra determines single-target or AoE spell enhancement; switch proactively when the damage model changes; do not lock one for the entire fight.
- Holy Word：Changes function with Chakra; short CD high-efficiency tool. Delaying one use often cascades into losing multiple later uses.
- Renew and Lightwell：Sustained healing requires pre-coverage and depends on allies/positioning. They should serve predictable damage, not exist during no-damage periods.
- -10 sec｜Choose first phase Chakra; place Lightwell at the gathering point：First match the damage model and raid movement.
- -4 sec｜Pre-hot Renew on first wave of sustained damage takers：Have HoTs already ticking when damage arrives.
- 0 sec｜Maintain Renew/Prayer of Mending rhythm in low-pressure phases.：Don't waste high-mana AoE heals.
- Before raid damage｜Put Prayer of Mending on targets about to be hit：Ensure jumps occur immediately.
- Damage lands｜Holy Word + Prayer of Healing/Circle of Healing：Use high-efficiency short cooldowns first, then fill group gaps.
Common Mistakes and WCL Review
- Hard-casting in the wrong Chakra loses both efficiency and mana.
- Place Lightwell where players can easily click and mechanics won't cover it.
- Whether Chakra choice and Holy Word usage match the damage pattern.
- Prayer of Mending bounces, Circle of Healing hits, Serendipity stacks, and Divine Hymn coverage.
