In regards to your were dose FOL fit in. Dream Walker being as it is a large fast heal it is ideal and given the mana regen buff it can be spammed no problem along with DL. I recommend in a raid keeping HS and WOG on cool down as well as HL as a filler and you should be fine. Finally the cool new heal keep it on cool down just take a few sec turn toward the raid it really can make a big difference this is assuming that you have enough critical strike making it hit for 10 - 11 k. it could be the difference between a wipe and success. i would like comments on this style of healing there is always room to learn.Rasminnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-66626255765136793782010-10-04T08:44:16.560-07:002010-10-04T08:44:16.560-07:00I made a premade character on the beta and was wor...I made a premade character on the beta and was working healing on my paladin, i was having mana issues still becuase of the lack of CC and the amount of damage that was being passed around from the cleaves and what not. I tried this for 2 different duegons and had the same issues. Im going to look over and try what you posted and see if that helps. my mana is like 60-70k atm and i ran out really really fast if i have to spam Divinie light. Flash of light uses like 8k mana and heals for about 8-10k while Holy light only heals for 5-8k this is what bugs me.Batznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-58678358679990014192010-09-27T09:09:51.120-07:002010-09-27T09:09:51.120-07:00Yes, at level 80, it's not so bad. However, by...Yes, at level 80, it's not so bad. However, by the time we get to 85, our mana pool less than doubles (mine is 68,000), however the mana cost of our spells almost triples. To make matters worse, in iLvl 333 gear, my heals barely saw an increase over when I cast them at 80. For example, the tank has about 100k health. The maximum I can heal him for is about 25k with Divine Light, and that's about one seventh of my mana pool. The mobs in heroics also hit hard, so I'm having to spam FoL at times just to keep him up, especially if we have no CC. So yes, FoL is very useful when damage gets spiky.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-63504433329985360152010-09-24T10:31:46.434-07:002010-09-24T10:31:46.434-07:00Yes, higher ilvl librams are strictly better than ...Yes, higher ilvl librams are strictly better than lower ilvl librams.

Not sure how you access it as a tank. Do you mean the new AoE heal you get at level 81?<br /><br />@anon, Sacred Shield doesn't exist anymore. You get shields from the Holy paladin Mastery. When you cast a heal on someone, they get a shield worth 8% of that heal (including any overheal).Rohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090769681887119989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-26618530953693149142010-09-20T05:43:06.895-07:002010-09-20T05:43:06.895-07:00What about Sacred Shield?

My experience on the PTR with Holy is similar to yours.<br /><br />I also found myself pre-healing the tank to stack Holy Light x3 before he pulled. That's interesting, but it will get old fast.<br /><br />Regarding Flash of Light; there are multiple aspects of Cataclysm encounters that could forge a niche for Flash of Light.<br /><br />For starters, the latest beta patch nerfed Holy Light's base healing by 25% and increased the mana cost. Essentially, they just significantly nerfed it's efficiency (heal-per-mana HPM) as well as it's throughput.<br /><br />Next, consider mechanics such as Mimiron's Plasma Blast (many ticks of large damage for a short period). This is the kind of situation where your WoGx3->HS may need to be backed up by FoL spam.<br /><br />Other kinds of mechanics that may necessitate a fast heal are LK's Infestation (WoGx3 + HS the first guy, but then it's FoL spam + Holy Radiance (AoE heal @ 83).<br /><br />So while I certainly agree that the PTR build has renderred FoL almost completely useless, I am encouraged by the signs from the Cataclysm beta.<br /><br />Thanks for the write-up though, a very enjoyable read!Curehttp://www.crusadershock.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-91166553327478838272010-09-19T23:35:01.227-07:002010-09-19T23:35:01.227-07:005.
