Priest

Holy

healerrangedeasy difficulty

Playstyle

Reactive, sustained-throughput healer built on alternating Holy Word: Sanctify/Serenity with steady Prayer of Mending upkeep, reacting to Surge of Light procs for instant heals on the move. Called 'one of the easier healers to pick up,' though real optimization still requires juggling cooldown-reduction mechanics and adapting to varied damage patterns.
