Holy Nova
Causes an explosion of holy light around the caster, causing 26 to 30 Holy damage to all enemy targets within 10 yards and healing all party members within 10 yards for 50 to 57. These effects cause no threat.
Holy Binding
Each time you heal a target other than yourself with Flash Heal, you are healed for 50% as much. This healing generates no threat.
Spirit of Redemption
Upon death, the priest becomes the Spirit of Redemption for 15 sec. The Spirit of Redemption cannot move, attack, be attacked or targeted by any spells or effects. While in this form the priest can cast any healing spell free of cost. When the effect ends, the priest dies.

When the heal occurs, Prayer of Mending jumps to a party or raid member within 20 yards. Jumps up to 5 times and lasts 30 sec after each jump.

Point commitments
Rows require five points per preceding row in the same tree. A row-seven talent therefore needs 30 earlier points, plus the point spent on that talent. A 31-point main tree leaves 20 points from the level-60 budget for other choices. Named prerequisites must also be fully ranked.
Changes since September 26
New names: Holy Binding, Dark Inspiration.
Names absent from the latest import: Binding Heal, Shadow Affinity, Improved Fade.

Priest talent FAQ
Which Priest data version does this page use?
Our November 3 revision combines the November 2 client export with Blizzard’s later launch notes. Supplied ranks include client tooltips and patch-note summaries. Exact new values absent from the notes are identified as unspecified. Old builds require review before migration.
Is this an official WoW Forever calculator?
No. Forever Talents is an independent fan tool using attributed community beta records. It is not affiliated with Blizzard.
Why is a talent locked?
The planner requires five points per earlier row and maximum ranks in any named prerequisite. Points in another tree do not unlock this tree. These are the planner’s current model rules.
Does this tell me the best build?
No. It helps organize an allocation, not simulate damage or rank builds. Beta values may change. A valid allocation does not simulate talent interactions or prove a build is strongest.
Where are my saved builds?
Only in this browser on this device. Clearing site storage removes them. Share links let you keep a portable copy without an account.
