The full talent tree confirms it: Mending Mist covers up to 8 allies in periodic healing, Shadra's Vigil rides every Serpent's Fang cast, and Mycelial Healing stacks that periodic output ever higher. Where Venom transmutes poison, Vizier simply soothes — the purest HoT healer in Conquest of Azeroth.
Serpent's Fang healing now applies Shadra's Vigil to the target: the next 5 instances of periodic healing on them are boosted by 10% of their value.
Vizier is closest to a HoT-and-cooldown healer like Restoration Druid or Preservation Evoker. Serpent's Fang blankets the group with Shadra's Vigil the way those specs blanket a group with HoTs, and the rest of the kit spreads rolling heals (Shadra's Prayer, Shadra's Balm, Green Salve) plus targeted charge heals (Alkahest) and a single-ally save (Shadra's Aid). Like Preservation, its power sits almost entirely in HoT timing and target selection rather than raw throughput, and it's weak on personal damage since its one offensive cast, Serpent's Fang, exists to heal allies rather than threaten anyone.
How is this number calculated?
Measured scope: Zul'Gurub, all difficulties — High Priest Venoxis, High Priestess Jeklik, High Priestess Mar'li, Bloodlord Mandokir, High Priest Thekal, High Priestess Arlokk, Jin'do the Hexxer, Hakkar, Gri'lek, Gahz'ranka.
These numbers come from Ascension Logs’ public combat logs, not an in-house guess.
The index compares each spec to the median player — the one sitting exactly in the middle of the ranking — on the same boss and the same group format: 1.00 matches that median player, 1.40 means 40% more damage than them. Only each player’s best fight counts, never their average — otherwise a player posting fifty fights would count as much as fifty different players, and averaging would mostly reward beginners still learning the spec rather than those who’ve mastered it. The comparison always happens on the same boss and the same format: a two-minute fight and a seven-minute one aren’t comparable, and a flex raid doesn’t give the same support as a 25-man.
Tiers (S, A, B…) aren’t picked by hand: the cutoffs are calculated from the real spread of every measured spec. A spec under 15 distinct players or 30 fights isn't ranked at all, rather than given a made-up grade. For healing specs, only fights where the player actually healed are counted — several healing specs are often played for damage, and counting those would unfairly drag their score down.
Ranking updated on August 12, 2026
Every ability targets allies rather than enemies, and Vizier Form directly benefits its HoTs from spell haste — haste-driven tick throughput plus mana sustain for a very expensive kit outweigh raw spell power or crit.
