It is difficult to understand for me why everybody believe Necrolord is the meta healing wise for holy paladins.
We assume, in the current state of the game, that we are speaking about double legendary’s + 4 set piece :
Kyrian holy paladin : Divine Toll + Divine Resonance is giving you a huge healing burst + 8 holy power over 1 min. (8 holy power means almost 3 free LoD)
Necrolord holy paladin: Vanquisher’s Hammer + Duty Bound gavel is giving you basically 2 extra free LoD.
Ovbiously, both specs require a tad different talents and a different second legendary, but the difference is pretty much the one states above.
But in my eyes, the healing burst from Kyrian suit perfect for the sudden damage Sepulcher does. Plus the math is favouring aswell Kyrian spec. Plus the fact that you are using right now the burst + extra 3 LoD.
I see almost everybody thinks Necrolord is the new met but I can’t see why. As a result I strongly believe I calculate or I do something wrong.
Please let me understand why people think Necrolord is so awesome and why nobody is playing Kyrian anylonger as a holy paladin ?
Necro (with covenant lego obviously) gives 2x1 holy power generators, that also deals some damage and heal you (conduit), and gives a total of 4 Light of Dawn freecasts for 4 WoG Casts. This setup/build is focused around Mastery, see below.
With Shadowbreaker, Dawn of the Sun lego and the full set bonus, your Light of Dawn range is increased to 40 yards(!!!) and puts a buff on your effected allies that lets them benefit from your Mastery as you were standing within 10 yards (in other words: 100%,) for 8 seconds. It also increases WoG’s benefit from your Mastery by 50%.
Using both Vanquisher’s Hammer to the fullest you get 12 Holy Power worth of Light of Dawn:
Hammer->WoG (free empowered double LoD)-> [Generate enough Holy Power for your next WoG(free LoD)-> Second hammer…
The first set bonus has 30 second cooldown, and so does Vanquisher’s Hammer, meaning you can pop it consistently on CD.
The extra free LoD casts will also provide a ton of procs for Awakening and the 4 set piece bonus, reducing the cooldown on wings considerably and providing you with a lot of “small wings”. Overall you get epic AoE and single target heal, while you also become a lighthouse.
