Healing spell efficiency %?Follow
12 posts
I was wondering if anyone had a rundown of the efficiency of healing spells in percentage form like the pve shadow priest guide? I played a priest years ago pre-bc and have a 2000+ healing flash/crit pally right now. I'd like to try my hand at the priest again though since pally healing is mostly slammin on flash as much as I can. I have a general idea, but just wondering if anyone had the hard numbers behind them? Thanks alot.
Well, they differ depending on your +healing.
For a general idea, just divide the amount of an avarage heal trough the amount of mana a heal costs. The number you get is the heal per mana done, the higher the better.
Using this technique I worked out for myself that Greater Heal (which was sitting at ~5 hpm at 67) is the most mana-efficient. Holy Nova is only effective (read: more effective than Greater Heal) if you heal ánd damage at least 3 targets. Flash heal I recall as being a bit less effective as Greater Heal (~3 hpm), my renew was quite high (~7 hpm) and when I calculated the whole bunch I didn't have PoM yet.

At lvl 70 with no talents (of course they improve things) this is the way it breaks down (for the spells that count at 70):
Circle of Healing .91 hp/mana Instant
Greater Healing 2.9 hp/mana 798.6 hp/sec
Prayer of Healing .99 hp/mana 415.3 hp/sec
Flash Heal 2.34 hp/mana 734 hp/sec
Binding Heal 1.47 hp/mana 694.6 hp/sec
Renew is a constant. The stats are irrelevant. Just do it.
Prayer of Mending, same as Renew.
Also, all spells are based on lowest possiable heal casted eg,
Greater Heal Rank 7 for 2396 to 2784 the math up above is based on 2396 heals. Same for all spells.
The talents that make a difference specifically to spells are Divine Fury (less cast time), Empowered Healing (improved Flash and Greater) and Improved Healing (less mana).
Hope this helps.

Priest Healing Calculator, this so rocks. Thanks. A barrel of rum for you!
Keep in mind healing/mana can be deceiving. Throw on 2300 +healing and numbers look a hell of a lot different than they did before.
Another thing to keep in mind is how goddamn much regen a priest can get even with a few seconds of spare time abusing Clearcasting + Inner Focus, especially with Bangles or Earring of Soulful Meditation. I have priest friends who, using that, can boost themselves to over 500 mana regen every tick.
