People tend to overthink secondary stats a lot when choosing gear. It's important to remember that item level is always king due to how strong main stat is. 9 times out of 10 you should be choosing your highest item level gear, regardless of what secondary stats it has. My rough rule for Leech/Avoidance/Sockets is that they're generally worth ~6 item levels. Below you'll find a breakdown of our stat priority for Mythic+ and raid.
Let's start with the basics






For the second season of The War Within, Liberation of Undermine is bringing us a tier set that focuses on Divine Toll and provides some nice safety healing via the Insurance! HoT all healers are getting from their 2-set:
2 Set: Your healing has a chance to apply Insurance! (a HoT) that is consumed and heals your ally when they drop below 40% health.
4 Set: Divine Toll applies Insurance! to allies it heals for 8 sec. Divine Toll's cooldown is reduced by 1 sec each time you spend Holy Power.
This tier set will have a major impact on our playstyle in Mythic+ but a relatively minor one in raid, placing more importance on using Divine Toll and building/spending Holy Power. It's more important then ever that you use Divine Toll aggressively this season in raid and never sit on it for more than 10 or so seconds. When it comes to Mythic+, the key to our healing here comes from building and spending fast enough that we can get Divine Toll down to a 30 second cooldown, allowing us to use it with every other cast of Beacon of Virtue. Alternating each virtue cast with either DT or Holy Prism will provide us with huge AoE and spot healing bursts every 15 seconds. As for insurance, I wouldn't recommend putting any thought into tracking it, just enjoy the free passive healing and safety!




This customizable ring introduced in patch 11.0.7 will still be your BIS ring up until you get at least a 672 ilvl ring in Season 2. These three gems: Stormbringer's Runed Citrine, Fathomdweller's Runed Citrine, and Windsinger's Runed Citrine will be your BIS combo for all content.


















With The War Within you'll see the return of many familiar enchants, oils and armor kits as well as interesting new ones! Before every dungeon or raid boss you'll need to make sure you have everything reapplied to your armor so I suggest getting a weakaura like this as a reminder.
