The set below is what the gear search picked from items a priest can collect before the first raid opens. It counts only items whose Forever stats are published: dungeon bosses, quests, professions, reputations and vendors. It comes to item level 60.5 on average. Healing power and mana drive it.

Night Elf · the set the search found among the known items · item level 60.5 · next best: the set with that item instead · item policy

Next to every pick are its nearest alternatives and the HPS each would cost on this fight. A cost marked "level" is too small for the sim to tell apart, so either item will do.

Weapons

Charstone Dirk is the main hand of every pre-raid set: a dagger with 116 healing from Princess Theradras in Maraudon, which binds when picked up. Switching to its nearest rival costs 15.5 HPS over three minutes.

On one minute the set holds Lei of the Lifegiver. The two- and three-minute sets list Lapidis Tankard of Tidesippe there for a drink our simulator lets you take in combat, which the game doesn't.

Trinkets

Talisman of Ascendance comes from an Eastern Plaguelands quest. Once a minute, each of your next five heals within 20 seconds adds a stack of 75 healing, and the next trinket costs 41.6 HPS. Part of that lead is our model's. The item's buff ends after six spells, while the simulator keeps the stacks for all 20 seconds and adds one for each of Penance's three bolts, so in game the gap will be narrower.

The other slot goes to one of the two trinkets Pix Xizzix sells in Stranglethorn Vale: Serenity Field (42 healing, and 72 Spirit for 15 seconds on use) or Weakness Analyzer. On this fight the set takes Weakness Analyzer, and the next best costs level. The Analyzer's use (5 % crit until your next crit) is missing from our model, so it is a bit better than its number.

Chest and back

Truefaith Vestments is a priest-only Tailoring craft that binds when picked up, so it needs the profession: 73 healing and 16 Spirit. Without it you lose 10.0 HPS on three minutes. Hide of the Wild is in every set. It is a Leatherworking craft that binds when equipped, so you can buy it, and the next cloak costs 11.7 HPS.

Reputation pieces

Both factions' gloves are Exalted rewards in The Barrens: Horde priests take Raider Handwraps (Darkspear Raiders), Alliance priests Theramore Handwraps (Theramore Expeditionary Force). The legs are battleground rewards, Outrider's Silk Leggings and Sentinel's Silk Leggings, and Vigilant Watcher's Signet needs The Watchers at Exalted. The reputations take longest of anything here, so begin them first.

Enchants

  • Head: Arcanum of Focus. Legs: Arcanum of Focus. The search trades Arcanum of Focus (8 healing) and Lesser Arcanum of Voracity (8 Intellect) from fight to fight, a sign the two are close.
  • Neck: Healing Power. Necklaces take enchants in Forever.
  • Wrists: Healing Power. Chest: Mystic Rugged Armor Kit.
  • Hands: Minor Haste. Feet: Mystic Rugged Armor Kit.
  • Main hand: none in our sets. The weapon Healing Power formula comes from Molten Core, outside the pre-raid pool. Once you can get it, it adds 55 healing.

Consumables

Bring mana first: Major Mana Potion (4.7 %), Demonic Rune (1.2 %) and Flask of Distilled Wisdom (6.6 %). Potions and runes are on separate two-minute cooldowns, so use both. Our simulator gives each its average, 1,800 and 1,200 mana, where the game rolls a range. The rune also costs 600 to 1,000 health, which matters only when you are the one taking damage.

The rest are smaller. Brilliant Wizard Oil on your weapon is worth 1.8 %, Cerebral Cortex Compound 0.3 %, Mageblood Elixir 0.0 % and Runn Tum Tuber Surprise 0.2 %. On one-minute fights the flask is the top consumable (6.6 %): a bigger pool is the one mana source that is there from the first second.
