Guardian Spirit is a talented priest ability available at level 60, after spending 50 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
- 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.
- 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
- 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 to announce your target is recommended.
Patch changes
- Patch 3.0.3 (2008-11-04): A target may now have only one Guardian Spirit active.
