'''Spirit of Redemption''' is a tier 4 Holy priest talent. In addition, upon [[death]], the [[priest]] becomes the Spirit of Redemption for 15 sec. The Spirit of Redemption cannot move, attack, be attacked or targeted by any spells or effects. While in this form the priest can cast any healing spell free of cost. When the effect ends, the priest dies. Upon death you take on the appearance of a [[Spirit Healer]] hovering above your crumpled body.

==Notes==
  +
Only pure healing spells can be cast while Spirit of Redemption is active, which means that many defensive spells (including [[Dispel Magic]], [[Resurrection]] and [[Power Word: Shield]]) are disabled, as well as [[Holy Nova]], which is also a damaging spell. However, there is no connection to a specific school or tree.

Spirit of Redemption does not reset any cooldowns, including those caused by [[interrupt]] effects. This is commonly considered a bug, whereas, in fact, it is not.<ref>{{ref web

In some cases, an [[oom]] priest can sacrifice themself to activate the Spirit of Redemption and prevent a full wipe. For example, in long, chaotic, or mana-intensive fights such as against [[Blackheart the Inciter]], when coupled with a soulstone it allows the priest to save the group from a wipe as he uses all his mana while alive, gets free heals as the spirit, uses the soulstone to resurrect and heal some more, and again gets free heals as the spirit.

Spirit of Redemption is a tier 4 Holy priest talent. In addition, upon death, the priest becomes the Spirit of Redemption for 15 sec. The Spirit of Redemption cannot move, attack, be attacked or targeted by any spells or effects. While in this form the priest can cast any healing spell free of cost. When the effect ends, the priest dies. Upon death you take on the appearance of a Spirit Healer hovering above your crumpled body.

Notes

Only pure healing spells can be cast while Spirit of Redemption is active, which means that many defensive spells (including Spell nature nullifydisease [Dispel Magic], Spell holy resurrection [Resurrection] and Spell holy powerwordshield [Power Word: Shield]) are disabled, as well as Spell holy holynova [Holy Nova], which is also a damaging spell. However, there is no connection to a specific school or tree.

Spirit of Redemption does not reset any cooldowns, including those caused by interrupt effects. This is commonly considered a bug, whereas, in fact, it is not.[1]

Tips & tactics

While the priest is in Spirit of Redemption form, any healing spell is free of cost, which makes highly effective and expensive spells (such as AoE spells) especially useful. It is advisable to use spare time by casting preemptive spells like Spell holy renew [Renew] and Spell holy prayerofmendingtga [Prayer of Mending].

In some cases, an oom priest can sacrifice themself to activate the Spirit of Redemption and prevent a full wipe. For example, in long, chaotic, or mana-intensive fights such as against Blackheart the Inciter, when coupled with a soulstone it allows the priest to save the group from a wipe as he uses all his mana while alive, gets free heals as the spirit, uses the soulstone to resurrect and heal some more, and again gets free heals as the spirit.

In PvP, it is almost always worthwhile (if possible) for surviving players to remain within healing range of the Spirit of Redemption while it is in effect, as the priest is capable of providing an endless amount of healing during this time. Unfortunately many ailing players seem to be unaware of the Spirit and/or its function, and stand, flee or fight just out of range, leaving the priest unable to provide healing.
