Talent improvements[]

Holy tree talents:

  • Holy Specialization, increased critical strike chance with all Holy spells by 1/2/3/4/5%.
  • Divine Fury, reduces the cast time by 0.1/0.2/0.3/0.4/0.5 seconds.
  • Searing Light, increases the damage by 5/10%.
  • Holy Reach, increases the range by 10/20%.
  • Surge of Light give you a chance on every spell critical to make your next Smite spell an instant cast, have no mana cost, but be incapable of a critical hit. Essential to a smiter talent build.

Discipline tree talents:

  • Inner Focus, the spell costs no mana, and increases it's critical strike chance by 25%.
  • Focused Power, increases damage done by 2/4%.
  • Enlightenment, increases haste of all spells by 2/4/6%.
  • Focused Will, increases critical strike chance of all spells by 1/2/3%.
  • Power Infusion, reduces casting time and mana cost of spells by 20% for 15 seconds.

Tips and tactics[]

  • Because Smite is a Holy spell, it is unaffected by player resistances, offering reliable damage against all players.
  • With the three-piece-bonus from the Priest's Zul'Gurub set, Smite's range can be increased to 42 yds.
  • Circle of Healing on a group almost guarantees a critical hit on a group member, giving a good chance for Surge of Light to proc.
