Guardian Spirit is a talented priest ability available at level 60, after spending 31 talent points in the Holy tree. 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 Edit

• 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 appears to be roughly 100,000 health. This includes players and NPCs.

Tips and tactics Edit

• 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.
• Using a macro or addon to announce your target is recommended.
