Holy: battleground healer20/31/0Hybrid without Shadowform: Penance and Silence30/0/21Niche: Smite and Holy Fire31/20/0Shadow: duels, world PvP and random battlegrounds 20/0/31
The successor to Classic's Shadow PvP build. Forever fits the entire Shadow PvP toolkit into exactly 31 points: Blackout, Scream every 26 seconds, Silence, Embrace and Shadowform. The remaining 20 points go into Discipline survival: shorter control, stronger shields, more armor and 
Inner Focus burst. Its weakness is cast pushback without a shield; in form, your sustain is limited to shields, Plague and Embrace.
Shadow for battlegrounds and caster matchups 8/12/31
A new option unavailable in Classic. Battlegrounds expose you to several enemies at once, many casting spells. Forever's 
Twilight Focus protects every cast from damage pushback, not just healing, allowing Mind Blast, Flay, 
Mana Burn and 
Mind Control to finish under pressure. 
Spell Warding reduces magic damage by 10%; 
Silent Resolve shortens control chains; 
Devouring Contagion spreads Plague from a dead enemy to two nearby targets. The price is a weaker shield and no 
Improved Inner Fire armor or Inner Focus, so standard Shadow is better against Warriors and Rogues one on one.
Discipline: healer and duelist 34/17/0
The successor to the deep Discipline build veterans considered Classic's best PvP healer. Shields without a cooldown, 
Power Infusion and strong pushback protection combine with Forever's new talents into a cycle: shield, two or three heals, shield again. 
Penance heals or damages, giving this healer respectable dueling ability. It lacks 
Spiritual Healing, 
Prayer of Mending and 
Spirit of Redemption, so total healing is lower than Holy's.
Holy: battleground healer 20/31/0
The successor to Classic's 21/30/0. This offers the most healing: Prayer of Mending jumps through team fights, 
Binding Heal heals both you and your target, Spiritual Healing adds 10% to all healing, and Spirit of Redemption provides another 15 seconds of free healing after death. It is the weakest Priest duelist, but the most useful in large flag fights.
Hybrid without Shadowform: Penance and Silence 30/0/21
For players who prefer control to damage. Discipline provides cooldown-free shields, Penance, 
Renewed Hope and shields from critical heals; Shadow adds Blackout, Scream every 26 seconds and Silence. Without Shadowform you deal less damage, but are hard to kill while silencing and fearing enemies.
For a Mage or Warlock partner, replace Silence with Power Infusion (31/0/20). They cannot fit together because that requires 52 points. Choose Silence for duels against healers and casters, or Power Infusion for a caster duo. Open the variant in the calculator →
Niche: Smite and Holy Fire 31/20/0
An unusual build requested on beta forums: deal damage with Smite, Holy Fire and Penance, with Discipline supplying shields and Power Infusion. However, Forever's highest Smite rank deals less than half the damage it did in Classic, so this is a fun build rather than a win-at-all-costs choice.
