Feels bad compared to Evokers however can’t say much about other healers since the only healers I go up against is Evokers.

Not to mention with the amount of warriors and priests around bubble is rather an extra trinket than a save button.

Hpal is bad in basically any pvp situation right now.
Not a single comb that works even close to best with an hpal.
Can’t be offensive because you can bekilled super easy can’t be defensiv because you will oom.
Can’t fall behind because low hps to pick someone up
Can’t assist in DMG because spells to expensive and do about the same DMG as in SL

Ive been playing hpal since s7 in wrath but boy hpal games are a super struggle this season

Love holy paladin in pvp but man it sucks this expansion.
Super squishy, worst mana of all healer, low hps.
Whoever designs holy paladin spec has either identity disorder or no clue. Or is very bossy, ignores any feedback and just forces player to play how he likes.
I mean we have half of tree to holy light when no paladin wants to stand and hardcast Divine shield is useless be any priest now with 1s Mass Dispell cast.
Why on earth would be see Blessing of seasons in game as well as that crappy double proc but shock barrier , which was one of the most popular ones, was removed and it would help so much right now.
I know there are pro paladins on high ratings but for a regular casual pvper- hpal is so behind other healers it’s not even funny.

100% well said. A rear struggle for the casual player in PVP. Also Holy Paladin Damage is a real joke… It takes ages to kill even the random 1 or 2 mobs that are around you while farming mines or herbs.

Holy paladin isn’t necessarily bad in pvp, it’s just that other healers can do what a pala can much better, and on top of that it’s incredibly squishy, i think if resto druid were to be tuned properly and fast MD wasn’t a thing then pala would be in a much better spot

I main hpala in PVP since wrath and am used to put more effort into achieving the healing other classes achieve with much more ease, but being so squishy is just too much for me right now. They should at least improve the spec on this.

In fairness: Holy Paladins were pretty strong during BFA and SL. Sometimes to a point where they couldn’t die vs 3 bursting DPS.

Don’t get me wrong, my Main for PvP is Holy Paladin (@Liralia-Tarren Mill) and the current state is just a spit in our face, esp. when compared vs Evoker, Resto Druid and Discipline.
I’d even say Resto + Evoker right now are stronger then Paladins during BFA S4, while Diszi is roughly SL Level Holy Pala.

Next patch:

  • Holy Light now heals for 75% more in PvP combat (was 40%).
  • Holy Shock healing increased by 15% in PvP combat.

But nothing about squishiness.

Holy Light will get interrupted.
Shock will still barely heal.

But it’s a whole a lot better than nothing

Sorry but im quit angry about the upcoming patch. Sure they buff hardcastspells but they also nerf Avenger Crusade into oblivion. Stacks needed to proc wings 50->100 and Judgement damage(heal) went from 100% to 25%. And on top of that you have to first build up 5 HP with less duration.

For me not understandable in this Meta where instant heals >>>all is that they nerf our instant build and buff hardcasting.

I really dont know how i will play shuffle with my holypala now. Is there anybody that still plays with avenger crusade after the huge nerf? For me this was the only option because its obvious that having to hardcast is huge trash.

avenging crusader is almost unviable now, its okay vs mage teams but other than that casted build once again

yea true on that 5 h power for wings thats basicly 2 insta heals u trade for wings that heal meh + crusaderstrike hiting 60k heals whithout ms ya wont keep somone up whit that

  • any1 knows if power of the silver hand works i cant see any buff /proc bin casting spam holy light
