Guardian Spirit is the 31-point Holy priest talent ability. A friendly target receives 40% more healing for 10 seconds. If the target dies while under the effect of the spell, the Guardian Spirit will prevent death by sacrificing itself and restore 50% of the target's maximum health.
Notes
- Any friendly target can only benefit from Guardian Spirit every 60 seconds (internal cooldown)
- Guardian Spirit prevents death, it will not reset a target's threat.
- The ability can be dispelled and is not affected by global cooldown.
- Guardian Spirit is able to heal critically.
- Guardian Spirit won't prevent death from fall damage.
- A paladin's [Ardent Defender] heal must be on cooldown before Guardian Spirit can be consumed.
- The maximum amount that can be healed by Guardian Spirit is 200% of the maximum health of the caster. Previously, it appeared to be roughly 100,000 health.
Tips and tactics
- This is the Holy priest's panic button when a party member is about to die.
- Casting Guardian Spirit on the tank will allow the priest to heal other party members, while the tank is safe.
- [Glyph of Guardian Spirit] can be extremely valuable in raids when used just before a boss' heavy damage ability, especially when the target survives.
- [Glyph of Desperation] allows the priest to cast Guardian Spirit (and Pain Supression) while stunned. This can often make a critical difference in PvP, effectively granting the priest an emergency 50% health instant heal when surprised by rogues, warriors, etc.
- Using a macro or addon to announce your target is recommended.
Patch changes
- Patch 4.0.6 (2011-02-08): The absorb/heal from this ability can now never exceed 200% of the maximum health of the target.
- Patch 3.0.3 (2008-11-04): A target may now have only one Guardian Spirit active.
- Patch 3.0.2 (2008-10-14): Added.
