Torn on the final 3Follow

I'm kind of torn on where to put my last 3 talent points as holy. As of now I have my build to work out as 14/54/0 When I hit 77(in two levels).

But I am really unsure as to where to put the final 3 points.

Test of Faith, Surge of Light, Healing Prayers?

Test of Faith seems a bit questionable. The added healing seems decent, I mean if you get a greater heal off for 9k that would add an extra 540 healing. The 6% increased crit chance is nice to have as well, but the under 50% health makes it somewhat situational to be spending 3 talent points on. It seems like an overall good talent to get, but is it worth 3 whole points?

Surge of Light is another questionable one. I mean instant cast flash heals would be great. The questionable part of that is the inability to crit.

Healing Prayers is a static. 20% decrease in mana cost for prayer of mending and healing. Level 79 prayer of mending costs 15% of base mana, at 80 what would that be, like 7k~8k mana? So it would cost roughly 1125, this talent would reduce that cost by 225 mana.

I guess if you don't have mana issues, Healing Prayers would be the lowest on the totem of priority to get. But from what I have witnessed with the new instances is that a lot of people take large chunks of AoE damage, but it doesn't require the use of an instant Circle of Healing. I've used Prayer of Healing quit a bit because of this, but the mana cost is kind of hurting. On the other hand an instant free of charge flash heal could be extremely useful all the time. Then test of faith.

I really don't know where to put these 3 points, any advice would be helpful.

Well, it depends on what you like most, I'd say. If you find yourself healing people <50% hp a lot, you'd want to pick up Test of Faith. If you like me prefer procs, go for Surge of Light. If you have some mana issues, go for Healing Prayers.

That said, from a 'scientific' point of view; With Circle of Healing you don't need Healing Prayers for Prayer of Healing, so it basically only affects ProM. While -20% mana isn't bad, Surge of Light is technically better; you will use ProM a fair amount, but you won't be chain casting it. In a general raiding fight you can easily have 5+ Surge of Light procs, which give you an instant on demand fair heal. Test of Faith basically means you'll have an easy time healing up anybody who drops <50%. I reckon Healing Prayers and Test of Faith somewhat tie. I myself would go for Surge of Light hands down, because I'm a fan of procs (to make healing more interesting). I literally get a kick when stuff like that procs and I throw down an instant flash heal (or even smite in 5-mans).

To summarize; I'd pick Surge of Light and Desperate Prayer (Another plus, they also help a lot in the occasional BG) as a first choice. My second choice would probably be Healing Prayers, since without Surge of Light Test of Faith loses a lot of its use.



Boy, I hope that made sense, it's nearly 4 over here.

Last 3 points could also go to Improved Inner Fire. It is likely it will be up for the whole duration of the fights (pve), and it will add (54?) spellpower for free...

If not, i'd go with surge of light (and with CoH / glyphed holy nova, you'll get a lot of it) and desperate prayer.
