As was mentioned by Medic, holy paladins on average will be doing lower HPS then most other healing classes and that is okay.
However that difference should only be really felt at a heroic or mythic level, untill then the numbers should balance out more, simply because the amount of damage and spike damage is lower.
I’m not a pro, i’ve done some mythic raiding in my days but now mostly a curve raider, there is certainly other builds out there, but to help shed some light here is what is working for me:
The numbers
At 375-379 i was doing 50-60k raw HPS (include overheal) over a raid night on normal
At 392 i am doing up too 70k raw HPS (include overheal) over a raid night on heroic
The build mana burns easily and is a risk
There are many builds that will still give enough output for the content your doing,
So feel free to continue to explore what’s working for you and your guild.
My build
Reading the set bonus i saw the buff to flash or light and holy light i knew the caster build would end up being the most useful.
- Infusion of Light + Flash of light is the center of my build.
- Beacon of virtue is the only beacon im using
- Divine toll + Glimmer of light
- In a raid i will use [Empyrean Legacy] otherwise i will use [inflorerence of the sunwell]
- My other talents are designed around buffing the raw healing of flash of light + crit chance of holy shock.
- [Tyr’s Deliverance] is used to further buff flash of light and holy light
- Word of glory and light of dawn are used situationally.
- Devine favour to further improve flash of light healing
How the build works:
- Beacon is used off CD, or saved for a few seconds for big mechanics coming out
- Holy shock is used either to damage or heal and try and proc Infuision of light
- Word of glory and light of dawn will be used at 5 holy power for Of dusk and dawn
- Flash of light is used as the primary heal when there is no holy power to spend
- When big damage is coming out, [Tyr’s Deliverance] is used to give flash of light increased healing, i don’t care for its passive healing, but it’s buffed flash of light healing
- Diving toll is used only when beacon of virtue is up, getting up to 7ish people healed at once is very useful. (learning the boss fights help with this)
- I try to use devine favour with wings, to further increase the effect + beacons.
In heroic i’m now experimenting with replacing Tyrs deliverence and instead buffing light of dawn, to increase my overall base HPS.
However in M+ i personally believe Tyrs Deliverence will be better. (but i’ll see)
Risks:
i have burned mana at times if i keep the rotation going for too long.
If i look at what i’m most useful for in a raid (as a holy paladin), which is to do utility based healing (heal during times that it’s needed, as other healers are moving, unable to cast etc), this build allows us to very quickly and effective burst healing up-to 5+ people at any one time.
Where i’ve seen some good uses of this build for my groups:
Sennarth - immune the grip by standing in webs with Bless of freedom, devine toll on stairs + quick flashes of light + beacon
Dathea - Devine toll + beacon + sometimes bubble or devine stead + flash of light on pull in, on heroic at 15 or so stacks your beacon can keep your group up with flash of light procs + devine toll
Broodkeeper - with this build you can solo heal the boss group (still need to do her on heroic)
Raszegeth normal and heroic - if you have no warlock gate, healing through the push winds, spot healing people that are spread apart etc.
Other healers are more benefical here output wise, but the very quick burst healing between CD phases really can help smooth things out.
I hope this has helped.
