安抚心灵 (52) - Reduces the radius that enemies will aggro you allowing you to move around enemies that would otherwise be blocking your path. This only works on Humanoids and Dragonkin type targets. It is easy to spam on multiple enemies so if you are fast you can provide skips for yourself and the group in key dungeons.

Casting 安抚心灵 on both enemies creates that Purple effect over their heads, reducing their aggro radius allowing you to slip by without drawing threat. Priest STEALTH......of sorts!

Venthyr

控心术 is the Venthyr Class Ability for Priests. It is a 45 second cooldown that damages an enemy, reverses enemy damage to the group into healing on them, and returns mana to the caster. When a player receives healing via 控心术, they also receive 精通：圣光回响 healing as well. There are limitations to how much damage or healing will be reversed. For boss encounters dealing large aoe to the group, it will convert a small portion of that damage, not the entirety of it. In order to receive mana regen, you must reverse some damage or healing that the target produces. If a tank is kiting an enemy for example, you won't receive any sort of mana regen or damage reversal because the enemy is not actively engaging.
破碎认知 is the conduit that buffs 控心术. It's a simple boost that doesn't ask much of the player to maximize.
暗影之门 is the covenant signature ability and probably my favorite of all of the signature abilities that covenants offer. It has a 1.5 second cast that can take you up to 35 yards away. Priest is generally immobile and can struggle to cross vast distances quickly. This shores up that weakness extremely well and can be utilized for some easy skips in dungeons as well!

Kyrian

晋升者之赐 is the Kyrian Covenant Priest class ability. It features three parts. Your 晋升者之赐 ability after casting immediately turns into the spammable 晋升新星, your 惩击 converts into 晋升冲击 and each ability generates stacks, the former generates one stack per enemy hit and the latter generates 5 per cast. These stacks then explode at the end of their duration for 晋升爆发. This ability is solid in a dungeon environment as it is deals good damage and is easy to rapidly build stacks for a burst of healing. The downside is dealing with enemies like Prideful which is one target and you cannot generate many stacks making it much weaker when you get into higher keys. In raids, there can be wide swings in how many stacks you can generate depending on the boss fight, meaning big variance in the 晋升爆发.
骁勇晋升 is the covenant conduit. It has solid value in a 5 man environment where it is more consistent to maximize.
召唤执事者 gives the 静谧之瓶 which removes debuffs and is an additional heal. Its an excellent tool in dungeons where you are bouncing in between combat and frequently face certain debuffs that you cannot dispel as a Priest like Curses, Bleeds and Poisons.

Necrolord

Night Fae

法夜守护者 is the Night Fae Priest covenant ability. It produces three fairies at once that can move to a new target depending on the spell cast. 快速治疗 moves the Fairy that reduces a major cooldown on the target, 真言术：盾 applies 10% damage reduction and 暗言术：痛 applies the final fairy that will regen mana if you are actively attacking the enemy. The cooldown reduction that Holy receives is toward 神圣赞美诗 which can have some value but can also have large downsides. If you are holding 神圣赞美诗 for specific events then this cooldown reduction could be irrelevant. In that case you could reduce the cooldown of a DPS and you're now in a covenant that increases others power at the expense of your own.
法夜延音 is the synergistic conduit for 法夜守护者 allowing you to cycle the buff on multiple allies. This conduit encourages you to reduce cooldowns for many targets which can be very costly mana-wise and has a large trade off of not running another potency conduit or covenant that would increase your throughput.
灵魂变形 is the signature covenant ability and provides some strong movement speed which is generally a weak point for Priests. It can be utilized for quick bursts of movement but generally you won't be moving for so long that you get multiple blinks in, unless you're in a dungeon.

专注愈合: Increases the healing 愈合祷言 by a sizable amount. Great to toss onto the tank or any allies who have bleeds or other debuffs to get them just that bit of extra healing instantly.
圣言演说: Holy Priest loves Holy Words. More cooldown reduction to make your healing even more efficient.
延续之魂: Increases duration and healing bonus of 守护之魂. Value is sizably increased in 5 mans if your tank is more self-heal focused (DH/Blood etc).
共鸣圣言: Increases the healing of your next 快速治疗 by a sizeable amount after casting any Holy Word, including 圣言术：罚.
溃烂灌注: Is the covenant conduit for the Necrolord. Increases 邪恶新星 duration and damage.

共鸣圣言快速治疗圣言术：灵愈合祷言

通透影像: Fade damage reduction returns! And on-demand damage reduction is particularly sweet.

圣光鼓舞: While buffing 绝望祷言 is alright, raw damage reduction take a higher priority.

慷慨之魂: Holy Priest isn't known for their shielding. While they could cast more of them in Shadowlands, the fact that there is no Holy Word synergy would put this very low on the priority.

Priest Conduit GuideHoly Priest Legendaries

审慎沉思: Buffs the healing of your 快速治疗 like the azerite essence 虔诚之灵 from BfA. Problem with this legendary is that there is such a long duration between each buffed 快速治疗 that its nowhere near as consistent as the azerite trait it was made from.
天堂之跃: Causing 信仰飞跃 to have multiple charges and to be improving your mobility. Fun legendary to utilize but not strong enough to see competitive play.
烧灼暗影: Steadily nerfed over Beta to now be too weak to see competitive play.
双子太阳女祭司: Allows you to share 能量灌注 without losing out on the buff yourself. Solid in 5 mans to toss on to high powered DPS.

谐律装置: So long as you're properly using 治疗之环 and 愈合祷言, you'll receive some good cooldown reduction over the course of raids or dungeons. Faster cooldown reduction on your 圣言术：静 and 圣言术：灵 just means your healing becomes more efficient. Solid overall legendary for a variety of content
萨什，大主教本尼迪塔斯的归来: Return of the "croak cloak" will revive you after entering 救赎之魂 with health depending on the amount you healed while in Spirit Form. Easy get out of jail free card for early progress, this is excellent for learning encounters without having to worry about costing the team a battle rez.
神圣镜像: Artifact trait turned legendary. Lives and dies by the tuning of the replicated healing that is provided.
快速专注: Good on paper, awkward in practice. Maintaining the stacks of the buff in dungeons is challenging with such a low duration. You're also less reliant on pure single target healing in dungeons anymore so there's more value in another legendary that increases your flexibility with more holy words. There is strong potential for this legendary thanks to the borrowed power between this legendary,共鸣圣言 and 光明尾迹. Longer duration or making 治疗术 extend the duration would make this legendary much more consistent/potent.
