Holy Paladin

Introduction

Holy paladin is a relatively simple, fast-paced healer where the majority of your skill expression comes down to snappy decision-making.

The gameplay is primarily a builder-spender playstyle focused on building Holy Power through casting Holy Shock and Flash of Light while spending them on Light of Dawn and Eternal Flame/Word of Glory.

Priority system

Holy paladin doesn't follow a strict rotation, instead you'll be looking at a priority list of what spells will generally do more healing.

  • Your foremost priority is to not overcap holy power

Your spenders are your strongest heals, wasting holy power means favoring weaker heals and losing out on potential strong heals. A double edged sword of inefficiency.

In raids you will primarily spend holy power on Light of Dawn since that will do the most healing.

As healer your job is to keep people alive, so obviously if someone is about to die spend the holy power on an Eternal Flame and save them.

Make sure you're at or below 2 holy power and don't currently have a Divine Purpose proc ready.

Divine Toll is a massive source of Holy Power which - as explained above - is your most efficient source of healing. At the same time they allow you to put out Dawnlight on people which is a great little heal over time that along with Sun's Avatar does a good amount of healing.

Holy light is an incredibly strong spell, but it also eats your mana so hard you can notice each cast on logs.

Try to cast as many as you can afford, but don't overdo it. Rather have mana at the end of the fight than spend 2-3 minutes without any.

You will mostly be spending these on Flash of Light, though if no one needs healing you can spend them on Judgment instead.

This is just a decent way of generating more Holy Power.

If none of the above are possible, you can freely choose to generate more holy power with unbuffed Flash of Light casts and spending Holy Power on Light of Dawn
