Holy Specialization Holy Specialization

Priest · Holy · Row 1 of 7 · 5 ranks

Holy Specialization sits in row 1 of the Priest Holy tree. A talent tree is simply the grid of talents for one class role. It can take up to 5 points. Max it fully, or put in a few points just to open the rows below.

What Holy Specialization does at each rank

A rank is one level of a talent. Every rank makes the effect a bit stronger. The list below uses the exact wording from the beta client, word for word.

  1. Rank 1: Increases the critical effect chance of your Holy spells by 1%.
  2. Rank 2: Increases the critical effect chance of your Holy spells by 2%.
  3. Rank 3: Increases the critical effect chance of your Holy spells by 3%.
  4. Rank 4: Increases the critical effect chance of your Holy spells by 4%.
  5. Rank 5: Increases the critical effect chance of your Holy spells by 5%.

How to reach Holy Specialization

Row 1 opens after you spend 0 points in the earlier Holy rows. Level 10 is the earliest you can pick up Holy Specialization.

Is Holy Specialization worth the points?

Every rank makes the effect stronger, so putting in a few points while leveling is totally fine. Max it when the final rank is the heart of your endgame build. And if you only need it as a stepping stone, no shame in stopping early.
