Gear Set Breakdown

Healing spells never miss, so there is no hit cap to build for — throughput comes from healing power, haste, MP5, and Spirit, traded per assignment rather than toward a fixed cap.

Stat totals are unbuffed — gear, gems, and enchants only. No consumables, talents, racials, or group buffs.

Full Gear List — BiS and Alternatives

Neck
Nadina's Pendant of Purity BiS Black Temple — Mother Shahraz
Lord Sanguinar's Claim Quest — Kael'thas and the Verdant Sphere (Tempest Keep) Keep for healing power and MP5 while improving more consequential slots.
Shoulders
Skyshatter Shoulderpads BiS Black Temple — Mother Shahraz (tier token)
Amice of Brilliant Light Black Temple — Shade of Akama Keep as a healing-stat fallback while you prioritize more substantial upgrades elsewhere.
Living Earth Shoulders Crafted — Leatherworking Use for faster healing casts when your mana can support the extra throughput.

Back
Shroud of the Highborne BiS Black Temple — Illidan Stormrage

Chest
Skyshatter Chestguard BiS Black Temple — Illidan Stormrage (tier token)
Cataclysm Chestguard Tempest Keep — Kael'thas Sunstrider (tier token) Keep if it preserves your Tier 5 bonus while you assemble the next set; replace tier pieces together.
Wrists
Howling Wind Bracers BiS Hyjal Summit — Rage Winterchill
Bracers of Martyrdom Hyjal Summit — Rage Winterchill A raw-healing fallback; prefer MP5 for casting sustain rather than relying on its Spirit.
Bracers of Renewed Life Crafted — Leatherworking Use for crafted healing haste when you can sustain the faster casting; these can be bought without being a Leatherworker.
Wraps of Purification Serpentshrine Cavern — Hydross the Unstable Keep for reliable healing power and MP5 while you improve the rest of your set.
Hands
Botanist's Gloves of Growth BiS Black Temple — Teron Gorefiend
Spiritwalker Gauntlets Black Temple — Shade of Akama Use for faster healing casts when your mana can support the extra throughput.
Worldstorm Gauntlets Tempest Keep — High Astromancer Solarian Use when you need more steady mana regeneration from this slot.
Skyshatter Gloves Hyjal Summit — Azgalor (tier token) Use to move the four-piece Skyshatter Raiment bonus into this slot and free another tier slot for an offpiece.
Waist
Naturalist's Preserving Cinch BiS Black Temple — Supremus
Belt of Primal Majesty Black Temple — Gurtogg Bloodboil Use for faster healing casts when your mana can support the extra throughput.
Girdle of Fallen Stars Tempest Keep — trash drop Use when you need more steady mana regeneration from this slot.
Belt of Divine Guidance Black Temple — High Nethermancer Zerevor Use for healing power when your casting mana sustain is covered elsewhere; this belt has no MP5.
Legs
Skyshatter Leggings BiS Black Temple — The Illidari Council (tier token)
Leggings of Eternity Hyjal Summit — Archimonde Use when you need more steady mana regeneration from this slot.
Cataclysm Legguards Serpentshrine Cavern — Fathom-Lord Karathress (tier token) Keep if it preserves your Tier 5 bonus while you assemble the next set; replace tier pieces together.
Feet
Boots of the Divine Light BiS Hyjal Summit — trash drop
Boots of the Long Road Crafted — Tailoring Use for steady MP5 and Spirit when mana sustain matters more than additional sockets.
Ring 1
Band of the Eternal Restorer BiS Reputation — The Scale of the Sands (Exalted)
Blessed Band of Karabor Black Temple — trash drop Use when haste improves your healing assignment and your mana can support it. A second copy can be equipped.
Ring 2
Blessed Band of Karabor BiS Black Temple — trash drop
Coral Band of the Revived Serpentshrine Cavern — Lady Vashj Keep for healing power while upgrading the rest of your set; its Spirit offers less casting sustain than MP5.
Ring of Flowing Light World boss — Doom Lord Kazzak Consider for more healing power per cast; compare sockets and mana stats before swapping.
Trinket 1
Essence of the Martyr BiS Badge of Justice — G'eras, Shattrath
Scarab of the Infinite Cycle The Black Morass — Aeonus Use when faster healing casts help your assignment and you can afford the extra mana spend; the haste proc is not on demand. Change the other slot too if it already holds this item; only one copy can be equipped.
Lower City Prayerbook Reputation — Lower City (Revered) Use for repeated healing casts during its active window; it reduces mana cost and provides passive healing power.
Darkmoon Card: Blue Dragon Quest — Darkmoon Beast Deck turn-in A situational regeneration option only if your Spirit-based regen is substantial; steady MP5 is more predictable for normal casting.
Trinket 2
Scarab of the Infinite Cycle BiS The Black Morass — Aeonus
Lower City Prayerbook Reputation — Lower City (Revered) Use for repeated healing casts during its active window; it reduces mana cost and provides passive healing power.
Eye of Gruul Gruul's Lair — Gruul the Dragonkiller A mana-saving option for sustained healing when extra throughput is less important than stretching your mana pool.
Main hand
Crystal Spire of Karabor BiS Black Temple — Illidan Stormrage
Hammer of Atonement Hyjal Summit — Kaz'rogal Use as a healing main-hand when its crit suits your assignment; compare it together with your off-hand.
Lightfathom Scepter Serpentshrine Cavern — Lady Vashj Keep as a healing main-hand when you value its sustain; pair it with a healing off-hand or shield.
Vengeful Gladiator's Salvation Season 3 arena reward — available September 1 Season 3 option, available September 1. A weapon option if you already earn arena points; compare the full weapon pairing before buying.
Merciless Gladiator's Salvation PvP — Season 2 arena reward (discounted arena points in Season 3) Use when this weapon pairing improves your healing or mana sustain; compare the main-hand and off-hand together.
Off hand
Bastion of Light BiS Hyjal Summit — Anetheron
Felstone Bulwark Black Temple — Supremus Use when this weapon pairing improves your healing or mana sustain; compare the main-hand and off-hand together.
Light-Bearer's Faith Shield Badge of Justice — G'eras, Shattrath Use when this weapon pairing improves your healing or mana sustain; compare the main-hand and off-hand together.
Tears of Heaven Badge of Justice — G'eras, Shattrath Use with a one-handed healing weapon when you want healing power and MP5 rather than shield armor.
Ranged
Totem of Healing Rains BiS Karazhan — Maiden of Virtue
Totem of Spontaneous Regrowth The Slave Pens — Mennu the Betrayer Use for Healing Wave-heavy tank healing; it adds healing to Healing Wave rather than reducing its mana cost.
