How to survive Solo Shuffle as Holy Paladin?

How do you guys do in Solo Shuffle ?
in more than 90% games, the 2 dps are only focussing on me.
My gear is about the same level as the other players, but it´s become very frustrating,
How do you guys deal with being focussed all the time ?
I simply cant outheal 2 dps when combined they can stun me or silence me most of the time. Once I have used trinket or bubble, It´s just a matter of time before i die.
Don´t write “get better gear” I have okay gear, but thats not a tactic on how to survive.

Not the answer you want but its still likely the right answer if you´re not fully geared.

In this meta its extremely rare that healers gets focused n killed at all, the only exception being really good hardswaps n such but even then most healers are perfectly fine so chances are its simply a gear issue, the fact that you´re even getting focused at all suggests your gear is nowhere near as good as you claim it is, if it was you simply wouldnt need to make this forum post.

Playing catchup is miserable in WoW when it comes to conquest since the only ways to obtain it is through rated content n said rated content also requires you to actually win to give you the rewards, all while random bg´s are treated like a mobile game where its only worthwhile doing once per day n beyond that you get virtually no conquest. Unfortunately this late into the season you will need pretty much full conquest gear to be able to play, without all gem slots n enchants you´d still be at a disadvantage.

Mind you the item levels might not seem that relevant but they add up quickly n end up making an absurd difference. Having not seen how you play theres no one who can offer gameplay input so we can only give input on the things we know for a fact n gear is a huge part of that.

  1. Press ‘Escape’ key on your keyboard
  2. Press the ‘Logout’ Button that appears in the menu
  3. You then want to go ahead and click ‘Create new Character’
  4. When making the new character make sure to select the Druid option as this is the only healer who can sit afk reading a book in arena while winning everything by default
  5. Profit!

I have a balance druid with 4 conquest and weapon at the moment. I know druids are extremely good in Arena and Solo Shuffle. I just dont want all my characters to be healers.

and don’t forget during reading the book he can use cyclone on other healer then drink glass of orange then use another cyclone when DR gone and ez wins

Sounds like position issue.

as someone who is decent at healer experience and main them as madman i am to main them in dragonflight

i would say holy pala is by far worst healer of them all , simply because easiest way to counter them is by multiple pressure everyone include holy paladin since holy pala really bad at aoe healing

example on my holy priest the meme spec people saying its heavy hard and someone apply pressure on all of us i can simply do this

1- use only 1 heavy heal on kill target in my team

2- give power word shield on other dps who take little damage just for bonus speed and extra protect

3- i use flying talent or angel transformation that have very short cooldown to make me 100% immune to damage

meanwhile as holy pala your defensive cooldown is extremely high cooldown and you don’t have ret shield of vengeance nor talent that turn hand of protection into magic protection or talent that remove slow with consecration for ret that you can spam and run away with it and make you immune to slow pretty much

with holy priest fade remove slow and can aoe root and aoe fear , so meme heavy caster outdated holy priest is more effective than new design holy pala

also gameplay wise holy pala so awkward that you need to jump in melee range to get holy power , which extremely garbage mechanic that used to exist on mist weaver but got removed , and despite many holy pala players want it gone , for some reason blizzard think its smart idea to keep it up

for any other healers sure , but for holy pala when you need to crusade strike in middle of the map and enter brawler then its not as you have no choice but to be exposed to get your holy power

Not sure if you got the memo but melee wings is obsolete since rework. There is no need to ever enter melee as hpala.

You don’t. You wait till next season and pray to God Resto druid braindead design gets addressed so every other healer spec stops getting 1-5 or 0-6 by brocolli npcs

im not talking about wings tho…im talking about generating holy power using crusade strike will make you go into open area thus easy to get cc’ed , so position issue is downside of the spec unless you want to nuke your healing output by making it low and play safe hugging pillar far away to avoid druid try to spam cyclone on you or warlock spam fears

Since the rework i haven’t seen a single pala going into melee just so he can generate HP with Crusader Strike. That’s not even worth it because Crusader Strike costs mana and not even low mana.

You can obviously use it if the situation enables you but running in just for that is pure troll. It’s like trying to enforce Wind Shear as resto shaman. Do it when you get the chance but don’t run in just for a lousy kick on someone.

if what your saying is true since i quit hpala long time ago then hpala is most broken spec healer in the game then

cuz if say random number all other healer doing healer say 1 milion and hpala doing 1 milion without even using crusader strike for ez holy power that means their heal will be more than 1 milion with crusader strike

as for mana i play disc early in df back when it was mana hunger as hell and never had mana issue , so i would say mana is skill issue since people spam expensive fast healing can nuke mana pretty quickly

PS: tho at end of the day we don’t know how things will work with 10.2 making bigger heal but cost alot more mana then yeah its meta we can’t really predict at this point

It literally was until druid rework. People were complaining over and over. And it is still second best now after druid.

Lmao.

Holy paladins and resto druids both need huge nerfs. I won’t even bother queuing any more on my priest this season until they both get nerfed.

It’s just how blizzard works. Next patch h Pala and resto druid will prob be garbage.
I have learned to accept it. They can’t or won’t balance this game properly and so it will always be fotm healers and DPS on top on average.

The paladin is the easiest heal to kill if you focus on him. Either they peel you or you die

rDruid can never be balanced until Cyclone is nerfed.
You flipflop back and forth between having enough throughput to push cyclones and become completely oppressive, or not have enough throughput to cast it and be garbage.
Ofc no rDruid wants to see that.

Emblem Trinket, trade CDs properly. If War and Ret pop Avatar and Wings - you pop Wings to match it. Also combine Charger with Freedom to run away. If you’re getting targetted it might mean you position yourself too offensive.

Only in 2s. In 3s H Paladin is still superior imo as it provides similar healing but has better CDs and mana regen but this just might be my perspective.
