Leap of Faith is a priest spell, learned at level 85 for 28 20. It was introduced with Cataclysm and first announced in the Cataclysm priest review.
Leap of Faith pulls a party or raid member to the priest's location. Leap of Faith (or "Life Grip") is intended to give priests a tool to help rescue fellow players who have pulled aggro, are being focused on in PvP, or just can't seem to get out of the fire in time.
Improvements
- [Body and Soul] (Holy, Tier 5): When you cast Power Word: Shield or Leap of Faith, you increase the target's movement speed by 30/60% for 4 sec, and you have a 50/100% chance when you cast Cure Disease on yourself to also cleanse 1 poison effect in addition to diseases.
Tips and tactics
- Leap of Faith is great for assisting flag carriers in battlegrounds such as Warsong Gulch, Twin Peaks and Eye of the Storm.
- You must be facing your target in order to use Leap of Faith.
- Leap of Faith can be used in a variety of ways:
- To remove the target from enemy attacks. This can allow time to heal, for allies to arrive, or to escape altogether. The 40yd range places the target far beyond reach of melee types, and even casters will have to think fast to avoid being left behind. When assisting flag carriers, this can allow you to outstrip pursuers altogether. Pulling the target up on to a raised area (such as in the bases in Twin Peaks) can be especially effective.
- To expedite the target's travel. In battlegrounds this can allow you to capture the flag more quickly; pulling flag carriers across water can save even more time. You can also use Leap of Faith to draw an ally to your defence, or into combat. It can also draw the target up to a raised area they might otherwise be unable to reach directly. Pulling allies up from the graveyard in Warsong Gulch would be one example.
- To remove the target from fire, or other ground or AoE hazards.
- Leap of Faith (or "Life Grip") is the perfect complement to the death knight [Death Grip] ability. Timed correctly, either is capable of countering the other, although Leap of Faith's 40 yd range potentially removes the target beyond the 30 yd reach of Death Grip.
- Holy priests can use [Body and Soul] to confer up to a 60% movement speed buff upon their target. This further increases the usefulness of Leap of Faith, giving your target an even greater lead on their pursuers.
Patch changes
- Patch 4.0.1 (2010-10-12): Added.
