How to play at level 60
Your combat loop
1
Direct healing
Use your trained heal and avoid unnecessary overhealing.
2
Renew
Use for continuing damage and allow mana recovery when the party is safe.
3
Flash Heal
Use when time matters; choose efficient direct healing when the target can wait.
4
Holy Binding
If talented, Flash Heal on an ally heals you too.
5
Prayer of Healing
Use for substantial party-wide damage. Keep Divine Spirit active.
6
Prayer of Mending
If talented, use for repeated incoming hits; confirm current behavior.
Levels 31–60 extend the level-30 class guides we draw on and have not been checked in play. Use trained spells and talents you chose. Talent milestones assume ordinary points; Legacy can move them earlier. Weights are editable MaxDPS estimates, not measured DPS or HPS.
Class-compatible weapons and armor. Class proficiencies are assumed trained. Lower armor tiers remain available.

New in Forever
Shared utility and earlier specialization tools
Fear Ward and Devouring Plague are available to every Priest race at level 20. Divine Spirit is trained at 30. Discipline can talent Penance; Holy can talent Holy Binding, which heals you when Flash Heal heals an ally. Keep their talent requirements separate from baseline training.
Gnome Priest is one of the new race and class combinations in Forever.
