Guardian Spirit

Guardian Spirit is the 31-point Holy priest talent ability. 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.

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 useful when a Boss' heavy damage phase is on a predictable timer that is less then three minutes.
 * Glyph of Desperation allows the priest to cast Guardian Spirit (and Pain Supression) while stunned. This can often make a critical difference in PvP, effectively granting the priest an emergency 50% health instant heal when surprised by rogues, warriors, etc.
 * Using a macro or addon to announce your target is highly recommended.
