Races & Racials

Undead is the most popular race for Holy Priest at 42%, followed by Night Elf (36%) and Void Elf (8%).

Undead at 42% usage is a clear favorite, largely thanks to Will of the Forsaken, which removes charm, fear, and sleep effects to counter Warlock and Priest CC.

Night Elf players bring Shadowmeld, which enters stealth to drop combat.

Gear Strategy

The preferred secondary stats are Versatility and Mastery, with Haste as a third option. Since the item level of PvP gear scales in PvP, the real gearing decision comes down to picking the right items for these stats.

Most top players are running the 2-piece tier set (Blind Oath's Burden) but skipping the 4-piece, opting for stronger individual items in the remaining slots.

Top players are doubling up on Blessed Pango Charm for both embellishment slots.

The most popular bloodstone is Cognitive Heliotrope (84%), and the most common secondary gem is Flawless Versatile Amethyst (50%).
