WoW Forever Holy Priest BiS at level 30
Summary
This is the site’s suggestion for Holy Priest at level 30, not an official list: we use our Holy stat weights to score every item a Priest can use with a required level of 30 or lower, and pick the best one for each slot. Level 30 is the current beta level cap.
Stat priority of the list, per point: Mana per 5 sec > Healing = Spell Power > Spirit. Percentage stats count too, per 1%: spell critical strike. Only wand DPS is scored; other weapons count by their stats.

Death Speaker Scepter - Wand:

6 of the 17 pieces are new in Forever and 16 have a known source.

More on Holy Priest
Reasoning: Pure healer: healing (and spell power) above everything, then mana per 5 s and spirit, which for Holy also adds healing through Spiritual Guidance. Intellect gives total mana and some crit; crit itself is worth it for Inspiration. Staff or one-hander + off-hand item, whichever adds up higher.
Heads up: the beta is capped at level 30 and the weights are indicative, tuned for level 60 with no simulations behind them. Sources come from the WoWSims Forever database and, for items that already existed in Classic, from the Classic 1.12 database (CMaNGOS Classic-DB, marked "Classic data": they may change in Forever); an item without a source may not be obtainable yet. Set bonuses and procs are not scored. Everything will change with each build.
Treat these lists as a starting point: your talents, enchants and play style may make another piece the better pick.
