Holy paladin is the most broken healer ever period

[Holybarry-sylvanas]

I’m not sure how this thread is any different than:

The most broken healer class ever designed (and its not priest)

I played holy paladin again this week, haven’t touched it since 2011, All for the achivement [The Enterprising Healer] https://www.wowhead.com/achievement=42141/the-enterprising-healer ← I’m astounded how noob friendly it is to the point of everything is instant cast and some spells you don’t need to have on the spell bar. Everything is literally based around if you deal damage you do heal, You never go out of mana and you Eternal flame heals for so much so you don’t really or rarely need to p…

The issue with the entire thread is your very limited scope/experience with the spec.

1. You only (seem to) do M+, which if you have a decent team of DPS and tanks who are interrupting and CCing, the amount of spike, reactive and recovery healing is much less of an issue.
   Also any prior M+ experience you have (as tank) lends itself into healing, you know when the spikes are coming and can prepare.

2. You’re not playing as a caster paladin / spot healer / utility healer, which is the other form(s) of playing Holy Paladin which does focus on Holy and Flash of light more.
   It’s especially strong in raids as it can allow you to cover and perform nice recovery while you let the other healing classes in your raid excel at their ramp windows.
   In these play-styles Holy light and Flash of light are pretty strong if you spec into amplifying them and not the DPS playstyle.

The DPS play-style relies a lot on “Smart healing” which in recovery can be an issue and it’s one of the drawbacks.

3. You’re very well geared and because healing relies less on secondary stat priority, just by pure item-level you can do blanket healing through a lot of the content, including 10s (if you have the M+ experience + the right team).
   You’ll have an entirely different experience playing at keys higher than your item-level allows you to cheese. (20s).
   Even than, damage taken at certain points is still not the primary factor as it’s mostly 1 shots.

Holy Paladin have gotten better since the start of the season, but it’s a mixed bag across the entirety of the game.
Your post(s) seem to just be rage-bait or very closed minded and a lot about look at me and how i've done 10s.

If you want to get a whole picture, do some Mythic raiding, higher keys or even PVP etc where your item level is less of a factor and more on your abilities come into play.
