TBC Classic Holy Priest Rotation

TBC Classic Holy Priest Aldor or Scryer

We recommend going Aldor as a Holy Priest in TBC Classic. The Aldor shoulder enchant,
Greater Inscription of Faith
, is considerably stronger than the Scryer
Greater Inscription of the Oracle
. Scryer does provide an early weapon, the
Seer's Cane
, but it falls behind in the long run.
