Holy Paladin

This is a healer whose primary stat is Intellect. In combat, they use a one-handed sword and shield (there are build variants using a two-handed intellect weapon, but they are less popular due to the rarity of such weapons and the inability to use certain abilities that require a shield). The distinctive feature of this healer is the Holy Power accumulation mechanic used to cast abilities.

Strengths

Weaknesses

  • Healing depends on the rotation, as main healing abilities require the Holy Power resource.
  • Low mobility.
  • Must choose between dealing damage and healing.

Leveling Process

The basic health restoration abilities will be available to you at level one. Use spell_holy_searinglightHoly Shock and spell_holy_flashhealFlash of Light to restore health to yourself or group members.

As you level up, you will gain new abilities. We recommend following the ability priority from the rotation section.

Useful Tips for Mythic Keystones

1

Since healers no longer have an interrupt ability, use spell_holy_sealofmightHammer of Justice to stun/interrupt a single target's cast and ability_paladin_blindinglightBlinding Light for AoE interrupts.

2

Some slowing/rooting effects can be removed not by dispelling, but with the spell_holy_sealofvalorBlessing of Freedom ability. This allows you to both help a group member and save your dispel for more important debuffs.

3

If a group member dies during combat and you urgently need to resurrect them, use ability_paladin_intercessionIntercession to bring them back into the fight. > Combat resurrections have a global cooldown of 10 minutes. Charges accumulate every 10 minutes, and the longer you are in the dungeon, the more charges you will have. You can resurrect multiple allies at once if you have enough charges.
