Rotation and priority

  1. Prayer of Mending on the tank before the pull, recast as it expires
  2. Renew on the tank and anyone in melee
  3. Greater Heal for steady tank damage; Flash Heal for spikes
  4. Prayer of Healing when three or more in the group are hurt
  5. Holy Nova for packs in melee range
  6. Inner Focus with Greater Heal when mana is tight

Tips

  • Spiritual Guidance means Spirit is healing power: do not skip Spirit gear.
  • Shackle Undead and Fear Ward are your Scholomance and Stratholme value.
  • Smite and Holy Fire with Searing Light make leveling bearable until Shadow is cheaper.
