----- Modified Prayer of Preservation build I reached rank 1 m+ & several RF kills with on Thrall-----
This is a detailed guide of my version of PoP and how I play it and some tips and tricks
Step 1. Get a UI like elvui or Vuhdoo to track your Preservation buffs from your PoP. twitch.tv/ahmrila type !ui and !wa in my chat to get my profiles
Turn on Friendly mouseover casting in interface
Below are quickcast for Prayer of Preservation.
#showtooltip Prayer of Preservation
/cast [@cursor] Prayer of Preservation
#showtooltip Halo
/cast Divine Illumination
/cast Power Infusion
/cast Avenging Wrath
/use ‘’Insert Trinket Name’’
/cast Halo
#showtooltip Divine Sacrifice
/cancelaura Divine Sacrifice
/cast Divine Sacrifice
The order is correct, just press it twice for it to get the effect you desire.
Step 2. Spell-kit & Playstyle
Prayer of Preservation: Your main tool, read the LRE if you are unsure what it does.
Flash of Light: Your main ability to proc Preservation buffs.
Holy Shock: Use this ability when u have to move to be able to heal + proc preservation buffs on the run. Also a good tool in m+ to pull packs/mobs if your tank isnt able to
Circle of Healing: Your main AoE heal, I prefer to use this during AoE heavy fights right after a PoP cast to proc a Preservation buff + huge heals
Light of Dawn: Strong AoE heal due to it being able to proc a Preservation buff, prefer to use this after a PoP for huge heals if Circle of Healing is on CD
Divine Star. A good filler heal, most usage in raids
Prayer of Mending: Good filler heal, strong usage before aoe damage due to its continuation in healing even after cast together with other heals
Divine Illumination: Good CD. Check macro at the start
Power Infusion: Either macro it together with Divine ill + Halo, or use it on a spellcasting DPS
Efflorescence: Since you’re all gonna be stacked, this is a great tool before heavy AoE to get 18% Increased Healing, just 1 min CD.
Avenging Wrath: Really Strong CD
Step 3. Talents & Abilities
Elemental Oath (Does not stack with Moonkin Aura)
Holy Reach Talent (Better in raids, can be good in m+ aswell)
Swap out Feign death + invisibility to Divine Sacrifice if you plan to raid with PoP.
Some people like to use Tame Dragonkin in every raid spec, but I prefer to not use pets and spend my Talent + ability essence elsewhere.
Step 4. Gearing & Statweights
Haste > Spell Power > Crit > Int
Haste = Faster spell casts = More Preservation Procs = Less CD on PoP = More healing
Consumables: I use mainly Haste + SP food & flask.
To avoid confussion, your primary stat should be Spirit (Not on gear, but as in the spec itself)!!
Step 5. Skillcards & Draft
This is mainly my preference and opinion on whats good to card/Hard to roll, and I prefer as many abilities close to 70 due to increased chance during draft to get other abilities from lucky cards thats lower level req.
Starter Abilities: Healing Touch (Due to Overflow being superior in prestiging), Mage Armor Mastery, Life Tap, Blessing of Wisdom.
Normal Skill Cards: Mass Dispel/Avenging Wrath/Invisibility (Invis only required for M+)
Golden Skill Cards: Earthliving Weapon, Prayer of Mending
Normal Lucky Skill Cards: Cleansing Totem, Tremor Totem, Light of Dawn/Feign Death/Cleanse
Golden Lucky Skill Cards: Halo, Avenging Wrath, Beacon of Light/Divine Sacrifice (Dsac if you plan to make it a raid spec)
Other good lucky cards is also: Dispel Curse, Divine Illumination or any of the missing epics from the build.
I don’t recommend PoP in TBC, its generally not as good in TBC as in Vanilla, also got hit by a lot of nerfs since my Rank 1 entry on Thrall Vanilla M+ as well as the healing squish.
