'''Divine Hymn''' is a [[priest]] ability learned at level 78 for {{cost|20|40}}. Like the [[priest talents#Holy|Holy]] talent ability [[Circle of Healing]] it 'smart-heals' by selecting the 3 party or raid members within 40 yards with the lowest health, and channeling a very substantial amount of healing to them over 8 seconds (1 tick every 2 seconds). In addition, it grants a 10% increased healing buff to those targets for 8 seconds.

  +
* Divine Hymn offers the highest mana efficiency of any priest ability in the game except [[Lightwell]], with twice the HPM of [[Penance]] and more than three times that of [[Greater Heal]].
The '''"Gigantique" Bag''' is a 22 slot [[bag]] that is sold by [[Haris Pilton]].
 
  +
* The maximum 12 heals are easily achieved with 3 targets, and once they have been granted, the priest can break the channel early without loss. Haste will cause the heals to be granted more quickly, and so allow the priest to break the channel sooner.
 
  +
* Haste will make the spell tick faster, increasing the rate at which the healing occurs, but unlike with other HoTs (such as [[Renew]]), once the spell's maximum 12 heals have occurred, will not add ticks or increase the amount of healing granted.
 
  +
* By increasing the speed at which ticks occur, when cast on less than 3 targets, Haste will still cause the amount of healing that those targets receive to be increased.
== Notes ==
 
  +
* This ability can easily turn any wipe around, although its 8 minute cooldown means it may be saved as an 'emergency' heal.
* This is the first purchasable bag in the game to be of {{quality|epic}} quality. It is also the first 22-slot bag.
 
  +
* Divine Hymn will proc the Holy [[Mastery]] [[Echo of Light]], and can crit, procing [[Divine Aegis]].
* It was the third bag in the game to be of {{quality|epic}} quality, the others being the {{loot|epic|Core Felcloth Bag}} and {{loot|epic|Pit Lord's Satchel}}.
 
  +
* For [[Priest talents#Holy|Holy]] Priests: Holy priests will get the most throughput out of Divine Hymn, as they generally have the highest [[spell power]] of any type of priest.
* Equipping this bag fulfills {{achievement|My Sack is "Gigantique"}} achievement.
 
  +
* For [[Priest talents#Discipline|Discipline]] Priests: If paired with a [[Power Infusion]] or the [[Borrowed Time]] talent this spell will apply its healing much more frequently, ensuring that the maximum number of heals allowed is reached and permitting the priest to break the channel early without losing healing.
  +
* For [[Priest talents#Shadow|Shadow]] Priests: Particularly useful in PvP, this is one of the few ways a Shadow Priest can effectively heal themselves and their group. In raids, a shadow priest's Divine Hymn would be unexpected and welcome help for overburdened healers at the end of a particularly difficult encounter.

Divine Hymn is a priest ability learned at level 78 for 20g 40s. Like the Holy talent ability Spell holy circleofrenewal [Circle of Healing] it 'smart-heals' by selecting the 3 party or raid members within 40 yards with the lowest health, and channeling a very substantial amount of healing to them over 8 seconds (1 tick every 2 seconds). In addition, it grants a 10% increased healing buff to those targets for 8 seconds.

Notes

  • Divine Hymn offers the highest mana efficiency of any priest ability in the game except Spell holy summonlightwell [Lightwell], with twice the HPM of Spell holy penance [Penance] and more than three times that of Spell holy heal [Greater Heal].
  • The maximum 12 heals are easily achieved with 3 targets, and once they have been granted, the priest can break the channel early without loss. Haste will cause the heals to be granted more quickly, and so allow the priest to break the channel sooner.
  • Haste will make the spell tick faster, increasing the rate at which the healing occurs, but unlike with other HoTs (such as Spell holy renew [Renew]), once the spell's maximum 12 heals have occurred, will not add ticks or increase the amount of healing granted.
  • By increasing the speed at which ticks occur, when cast on less than 3 targets, Haste will still cause the amount of healing that those targets receive to be increased.
  • This ability can easily turn any wipe around, although its 8 minute cooldown means it may be saved as an 'emergency' heal.
  • Divine Hymn will proc the Holy Mastery Echo of Light, and can crit, procing Spell holy devineaegis [Divine Aegis].
  • For Holy Priests: Holy priests will get the most throughput out of Divine Hymn, as they generally have the highest spell power of any type of priest.
  • For Discipline Priests: If paired with a Spell holy powerinfusion [Power Infusion] or the Spell holy borrowedtime [Borrowed Time] talent this spell will apply its healing much more frequently, ensuring that the maximum number of heals allowed is reached and permitting the priest to break the channel early without losing healing.
  • For Shadow Priests: Particularly useful in PvP, this is one of the few ways a Shadow Priest can effectively heal themselves and their group. In raids, a shadow priest's Divine Hymn would be unexpected and welcome help for overburdened healers at the end of a particularly difficult encounter.
