4.2 Holy Paladin Guide (PvE)

Welcome to my 4.2 holy paladin guide! I've been asked about holy paladin questions quite often so I thought making a video would be a good and easy way to teach people about playing a holy paladin. Hope this guide helps you in some way!

Addons

I didn't really mention addons in this guide but you are going to want a good raid frame addon for healing. I personally use Grid but it takes some time to setup. There is also other addons people use like Healbot and Vuhdo. Just try them and see which one works best for you. Other then that just make sure you have a working boss mod such as Deadly Boss Mods or Big Wigs.

What's Next?

I usually go onto the PTR to test and record upcoming content so be sure to look out for that. If there are any new holy paladin changes I will also make an update video for 4.3. Maybe also a guide to setting up grid if people want it.

*I'm not sure how good the quality is going to be on this video since I'm still trying to figure out the best rendering settings that work for my computer (I record at 1360x768 and I don't think I can render at that resolution.) So I'm sorry if you run into any problems with the video. Please let me know if you have any issues (Ex. Slow loading or quality issues)*

*There might me some parts where I talk pretty fast especially in the glyph/spec section and I apologize for that. I recorded the video and did the voice over after and realized I didn't leave much room for explination at some points. Lesson learned though! :)

very nice guide but i have a spell question......what is better to use most of the time......holy light or divine light? this is one of the confusing on for me... thx a lot if u can answer ^^

[jurr04]

@l33tn0bl3 You just need to make your own judgement on which one you should use. If not alot of damage is going out use Holy Light. Try not to use it on your beaconed target but rather on someone else who needs heals since Holy Light heals transfer 100% to your beaconed target. If a tank or someone needs a large heal use Divine Light instead. You won't be able to completly spam just Divine light during a raid encounter without going Out of Mana though.

*noob question* why do we need to judgement off cd?

[jurr04]

@twigagawizard Judging restores 15% of your base mana if you have Seal of Insight up (Which you should!).

[pickle738]

so why isnt crit that good? holy pallys have huge heals and they would crit for so much? srry kinda noob about healers here

[jurr04]

@pickle738 Haste is just better for more holy radiance ticks as well as faster casting on our heals. Having some crit is good to keep our conviction talent up but we get that from stacking intellect and we get 5% crit from raid buffs so we should't need to reforge or gem for it.
