Hero Talents
Holy Paladin
- Herald of the Sun focuses on healing and Cooldown strength, while Lightsmith focuses on survivability and damage done.
- In a Raid environment Herald of the Sun outperforms Lightsmith in any scenario. Therefore this Guide focuses solely on the better option.
Herald of the Sun
Lightsmith
- Casting Avenging Wrath, Avenging Crusader or activating Awakening applies Dawnlight to nearby allies. While Avenging Wrath or Avenging Crusader is active you are linked with beam lines to all targets with Dawnlight healing/damaging anything crossing them.
- After using Holy Prism you can apply 2 more Dawnlight with your Holy Power spenders.
- While Dawnlight is active your Holy Power spenders are 5% stronger thanks to Gleaming Rays.
- With Solar Grace your haste is increased while Dawnlight is active. This effect stacks.
- Your core spec abilities are enhanced by the following nodes:
- Word of Glory is replaced by Eternal Flame making it even stronger with extra HoT effect on top.
- Holy Shock and Light of Dawn are empowered with:
- Luminosity that increases critical strike chance by 5%.
- Sun Sear which procs on critical strikes.
- Second Sunrise giving 15% chance to cast again at 30% effectiveness.
- Casting Holy Prism procs Divine Purpose.
- Holy Armaments rotates between Sacred Weapon and Holy Bulwark allowing you to buff both yourself and your target with current Armament.
- While wielding Sacred Weapon your spells and abilities have a chance to deal extra damage or healing.
- With Holy Bulwark up you get 15% max health absorb and an extra 2% absorb every 2 seconds.
- Divine Inspiration, Forewarning, Laying Down Arms and Valiance allow you to have higher uptime on Armaments.
- Activating Avenging Wrath summons another Sacred Weapon. While Avenging Wrath is active Sacred Weapon echoes your Holy Power spenders.
- Your active aura is 33% stronger on allies with Armaments thanks to Shared Resolve.
- While wielding an Armament the duration of Fear effects is reduced due to Fear No Evil talent.
- Few abilities are enhanced by the following nodes:
- Divine Guidance makes Consecration stronger with each Holy Power spender.
- Hammer and Anvil triggers a small burst of damage/healing around your target when Judgment critically strikes.
- Rite of Sanctification increases your armor by 5% and primary stat by extra 1% while imbued on your weapon.
Talents
Holy Paladin
Avenging Wrath
Avenging Crusader
When to use this Spec
This is the default loadout going into any boss unless specified otherwise. You have to adjust the class talent tree based on the utility needed for the encounter. To make your life easier, boss-specific talent loadouts are available in the Nerub-ar Palace section.
Gameplay Altering Talents
Discover all talents that significantly alter your gameplay within the Spec and Class Talent trees. This section gives a concise overview of these talents and their applications but for a more detailed look check out the Rotation and Deep Dive sections below.
Spec Tree
- Beacon of Virtue or Beacon of Faith
- Beacon of Faith is the default choice as it is easier on mana and does not interfere with your rotation. Beacon of Virtue is still a very strong option and has massive throughput potential on heavy healing fights but might not be playable if the fight is too long
- Holy Prism
- On its own it is not as strong as it used to be in the last 2 seasons of Dragonflight but as Herald of the Sun it gives access to Dawnlight which makes it very important. On top of that it procs Divine Favor and Divine Purpose on use. Ideally you want to use it with Avenging Wrath or Awakening proc in order to get 2 more Sun's Avatar beams.
- Divine Favor
- Divine Favor provides big chunky Holy Lights which helps with spot healing. It procs passively now on Holy Prism cast which is a nice quality of life change.
- Awakening
- Helps a lot with Avenging Wrath uptime. Pair this with Divine Toll and Holy Prism.
- Blessing of Summer
- Going into the new expansion Blessing of Summer got reworked so that it can be used either for extra healing or damage. You use it on the strongest healer in the raid during their cooldowns to maximize its damage.
- Light of the Martyr and Bestow Light
- Light of the Martyr got reworked and now makes your Holy Shock even stronger. Unfortunately, it comes at the cost of a healing absorb on every Holy Shock usage, including Divine Toll. Watch out for your health bar after Divine Toll as you have a massive healing absorb to top off before any other damage.
- Rising Sunlight
- Very strong talent that makes your cooldown windows even better. Watch out to not overcap your Holy Power with Holy Shock!
Class Tree
- Sanctified Plates
- A talent that makes Paladins super tanky even without a defensive cooldown up.
- Divine Toll
- The main cooldown that you want to use inside Avenging Wrath. Provides a good chunk of burst healing on short cooldown and procs Rising Sunlight.
- Divine Resonance
- This talent makes your Divine Toll windows even stronger. Watch out to not overcap Holy Power during this buff !
- Of Dusk and Dawn
- Insanely strong talent overall that makes your already strong spenders even stronger thanks to the Blessing of Dawn buff. On top of that, it makes you tankier with Blessing of Dusk up.
When to use this Spec
This Spec is mostly used to bring more passive damage to your raid group. The Spec brings weaker cooldowns that can be used more frequently while also losing some spot healing power.

This set further empowers your core gameplay of building Holy Power mostly with Holy Shock and spending it on Eternal Flame and Light of Dawn.
Priority List
- DO NOT overcap Holy Power. Your spenders are really strong, even if there isn't much to heal you can always use Shield of the Righteous.
- Cast Holy Shock as much as possible. It is the bread and butter of Holy Paladin.
Avenging Wrath
Avenging Crusader
- Spend Holy Power if at 5 Holy Power.
- Cast 1st charge of Holy Shock.
- If Divine Favor is still up spend it on Holy Light with Infusion of Light.
- Cast Holy Prism on an enemy for Aoe healing.
- Spend Infusion of Light on Flash of Light or Judgment. If mana allows and more spot healing needed on demand cast Holy Light.
- Cast 2nd charge of Holy Shock.
- Spend Holy Power.
- Cast Flash of Light if you need an immediate heal.
- Cast Judgment.
- Cast Hammer of Wrath if usable.
- Cast Crusader Strike.
- Cast Flash of Light.

- Cast Holy Prism on an enemy for Aoe healing.
- During Avenging Crusader cast Judgment.
- During Avenging Crusader cast Crusader Strike.
- Cast Holy Shock.
- Cast Crusader Strike

- Spend Holy Power.
- Cast Flash of Light if you need an immediate heal.
- Cast Judgment.
- Cast Hammer of Wrath if usable.
- Cast Flash of Light.
Cooldowns
Avenging Wrath
- An iconic paladin cooldown which now is very strong on its own thanks toHerald of the Sun. You want to pair it up with other smaller cooldowns like Divine Toll and Holy Prism to increase their power.
Divine Toll
- Your main cooldown that should be used every minute with Awakening proc and every 2 minutes with Avenging Wrath. It also procs Rising Sunlight, which makes it even burstier.
Tyr's Deliverance
- Going into TWW, Tyr's Deliverance has been nerfed significantly, making it a very weak cooldown that you only use to gain access to Relentless Inquisitor. Use it on cooldown whenever you anticipate incoming damage and then forget about it.
Aura Mastery
- Mostly used with Devotion Aura to provide one of the raid-wide damage reduction cooldowns. It's not as strong as it used to be but can still be a game changer against some mechanics. Make sure to use it proactively before damage events happen; otherwise, it might be a waste of a global cooldown.
Deep Dive
Holy Paladin
Cooldown Management
- Maximizing your Holy Paladin's potential involves properly combining your cooldowns. Thanks to Awakening talent, you should aim to never use a Divine Toll alone. When your Avenging Wrath is on cooldown, combine Divine Toll and Holy Prism with a Awakening proc. This results in very strong 2 minutes windows where you combine all cooldowns and weaker but still good 1 minute pops.
Managing Dawnlight and Sun's Avatar
- Dawnlight HoT gets applied to nearby allies preferring injured ones on activation of Avenging Wrath ( 4 HoTs ) and Awakening (1 HoT). On top of that you spread 2 extra Dawnlight HoTs with your Holy Power spenders after Holy Prism cast. During Avenging Wrath all targets with Dawnlight are linked to you creating Sun's Avatar beams that heal you, all linked allies and the ones passing through them.
- This means that you can only fully control 2 Dawnlight HoTs every time. In order to do it use Eternal Flame on allies without the HoT already, preferring players stacked with others.
- This way you can maximize the amount of Sun's Avatar beams and Dawnlight healing from radiation.
- The amount of Dawnlight targets depends on your pop:
- 2min pop + Awakening - 7 targets
- 2min pop - 6 targets
- 1min pop - 3 targets
- 30 pop - 2 targets
- You need to properly track Dawnlight on raid frames in order to not overlap it !!
- Disclaimer! Avenging Crusader applies only 2 Dawnlight HoTs.
Optimizing spenders
- Do not overthink it. Eternal Flame is almost always the best choice unless you would overheal with it. It is much easier to cover AoE healing in a raid, but a strong spot heal on someone who is low or close to dying is always going to be more valuable than Light of Dawn on random injured targets. You are in the raid to keep players alive, not to pad the meters!
Optimizing Blessing of Summer
- To get the most out of Blessing of Summer in a raid, you want to use it offensively on yourself or another healer right before cooldowns pop. This way, you get a very good amount of passive damage even while healing the raid.
- Blessing of Autumn is best used on a DPS that relies on short cooldowns to use them more often. You might also consider throwing it on yourself during a hard healing check fight to make your cooldowns cycle quicker.
- Blessing of Winter should always be used on yourself to help with mana.
- You mostly use Blessing of Spring on yourself to buff your healing, but at times it's better to buff another healer during their cooldowns as it might allow them to solo heal a certain boss mechanic.

Stat Priority
Holy Paladin
Understand your secondary stat priority and the tertiary stats needed for optimal performance during Raid boss fights as a Holy Paladins. For more detailed information, visit the Stats and Attributes guide.
The Conclusion here is that you want to equip the highest item level generally.
- Blizzard introduced Stat drs, which you should be aware of. To get to know what those are and why you have to care about them click here to get to our detailed stat DR resource post!
Tertiary
- Avoidance - Reduces damage taken from AoE effects.
- Leech - Returns a portion of your damage and healing done as healing to you. (Excludes self healing)
- Speed - increases movement speed. (Does stack with other movement speed abilities)
The only time you should think about picking a lower item level is if it has Leech or Avoidance. Speed is nice to have, but you shouldn't consider this stat when choosing between two items.

Farmable Alternatives
Due to the way stat weights work for Holy Paladin, there isn't a strict best-in-slot list. Although it is theoretically possible to obtain items with all the correct Tertiaries, doing so requires extraordinary luck or several human lifespans because of the weekly reset system in World of Warcraft.
| Slot | Item | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Head | Entombed Seraph's Casque | Tier/Catalyst |
| Neck | Sureki Zealot's Insignia | Sikran |
| Shoulder | Entombed Seraph's Plumes | Tier/Catalyst |
| Cloak | Wings of Shattered Sorrow | Rasha'nan |
| Chest | Entombed Seraph's Breastplate | Tier/Catalyst |
| Wrist | Everforged Vambraces | Crafting |

Authors Note:
This list shows the best items for healing in Raids from all sources. Keep in mind that getting different tier pieces with Leech / Avoidance changes which off-piece is best for you. Likewise, any other non-trinket item with Leech / Avoidance replaces the one suggested here.
Below you are presented with a good list of farmable alternatives that are obtainable outside of WoW’s weekly lockout system. While replaced in time as you progress, these offer immediate character power.
| Slot | Item | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Head | Soaring Behemoth's Greathelm | The Dawnbreaker |

Trinkets
Below you can find active and passive alternatives to our recommended trinkets. Do note that some trinkets are better than others depending on the scenario.
Active Trinket alternatives
- Spymaster's Web
- A strong On-Use Trinket that rewards precise planning. It takes 4 minutes to reach max stacks, so make sure to tie it to the important damage events instead of just using it on cooldown!
Passive Trinket alternatives
- Empowering Crystal of Anub'ikkaj
- A very strong stat stick, granting you a huge random secondary stat proc.
- Ovi'nax's Mercurial Egg
- Very interesting Trinket, that gives you a mix of main stat and your highest secondary. Use it when moving to the next pull to keep a good distribution.
Embellishments
- Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension
- Grants stacking secondary stats increasing with time.
- Writhing Armor Banding
- Doubles all nerubian embelishment affects.
Remaining Sparks
- Crafted items are 636 item level and regular items are 639 on max item level, therefore, it's not beneficial to equip crafted items outside of your 2x embellishments unless you don't have access to other high item level gear on that slot.

Races
Holy Paladin
For min-maxing a Holy Paladin in Mythic Raiding, different racial traits can provide a tremendous benefit to your characters. If this is not your top goal, picking a race that fits your style works just as well.
- Stoneform -- Dwarf
- Extra Bleed/Magic dispel comes clutch on some fights
- Arcane Torrent -- Blood Elf
- Historically aoe purge from Arcane Torrent was very strong at times
Recommendation:
It is recommended to play a Dwarf! The combination of Might of the Mountain and Stoneform makes it a very strong race overall. Extra personal dispel from Stoneform makes fights like The Silken Court way easier.
