Chakra

Chakras are a set of Holy priest abilities, available at level 56.

Chakras are mutually exclusive - only one can be active at a time. Each provides substantial improvements to a different area of the priest's abilities. In addition, each transforms [Holy Word: Chastise] into a different Holy Word, complementing the that chakra state. Each chakra is designed to help the priest to fulfil a specific role: damage-dealing, multiple-target and area of effect healing, and single-target healing. Chakras have a 30-second shared cooldown, but are not affected by the global cooldown, and persist through death.

[Chakra: Chastise]:
- Increases the damage done by your Shadow and Holy spells.
- Grants a chance for [Smite] to reset the cooldown of [Holy Word: Chastise].
- Reduces the mana cost of [Smite] and [Holy Fire].
- Transforms your Holy Word spell back into [Holy Word: Chastise].

[Chakra: Sanctuary]:
- Increases the healing done by your area of effect healing spells.
- Reduces the cooldown of your [Circle of Healing] spell.
- Transforms your [Holy Word: Chastise] spell into [Holy Word: Sanctuary].

[Chakra: Serenity]:
- Increases the healing done by your single-target healing spells.
- Causes your single-target healing spells to refresh the duration of your [Renew] on the target.
- Transforms your [Holy Word: Chastise] spell into [Holy Word: Serenity].
