10.2 Holy Paladin Guide

hey what's up guys I'm Ellis and I'm here to talk to you guys about 10.2 hpal unfortunately I am very sick so I'm going to have my cam off for this video but I'm just going to kind of briefly talk over everything in a pretty casual setting that you'll need to know about the changes that were made to hpal over this PTR cycle unfortunately this PTR cycle was not very friendly to hpal we had a fantastic rework in 10.1 1.5 and since then it's been nothing but Nerfs some of them warranted however uh it does seem like they overnerfed it a little bit to compensate for the god comp in M plus which sucks for raid and sucks for M plus for that matter aside from generic throughput Nerfs the main thing that got changed was hard casting Holy Light and Flash of light got buffed very significantly compared to our Spenders which got nerfed very heavily this is what the general M plus build is going to look like in 10.2 now the biggest changes that we're not going to be running boundless salvation or tears Deliverance we're also going to drop overflowing light and in exchange we will pick up Tower of Radiance infloresence of the sunwell and veneration additionally you're going to see things like Divine Revelations picked up and moment of compassion so what this means is yes unfortunately we will be casting in M plus now this does not mean that we're going to be casters it just means that we will be casting flash of light for spot healing a lot and Holy Light whenever we have Divine favor so because we're running Divine favor instead of hand of divinity every 30 seconds you're going to get a really powerful Holy Light you want to spend that on Holy Light not flash of light and the reason for that is Holy Light is just the bigger heal especially when it's Amplified by 60% and its cast time is reduced the the cast time reduction on flash of light makes it actually faster than your gcd so you don't really get much value out of the 30% casting reduction and the Mana cost reduction you don't really get any value out of either if you spend it on flash because you're going to have a lot of infusions so it's likely that you're going to be pressing this with infusion which means flash of light is already completely free it doesn't cost Mana so because of all those things Divine favor should always be used on Holy Light and if you don't have Divine favor then you should be spending your infusions on flash of light for spot healing aside from that the kitten M plus is very similar to last season not a whole lot has changed outside of casting more with the new tier set we're not really going to be prioritizing a holy prism the way that we did in last season and in fact once we get our new tier set it's possible that we switch from running holy prism to running lights Hammer but that kind of remains to be seen currently I believe that Holy prism should be the stronger heal but there is a 40% buff That was supposed to happen to it that didn't end up going live uh we think that's a mistake and that it likely will end up going live at some point so when and if that happens holy prism May jump up in terms of rotational Priority One of the biggest downfalls of hpow in M plus currently and in raid is that our Mana management is horrible our Mana consumption is extremely high and our Mana return options are very minimal but the best way to conserve Mana is actually through spot healing with flash of light when you have infusion procs because of how little the spell costs so this build utilizes Divine Revelations moment of compassion infloresence of the sunwell and Tower of Radiance uh in order to make it so that your infusion spending on flash of light is very valuable and at a very very low Mana cost the general rotation of this build in Mythic plus is going to look something like this you're going to want to keep consecration down at all times you want to Holy shock on coold down you want to use your infusions on flash of light or Holy Light if you have Divine favor available spend holy power on Shield of the righteous mostly now this is going to be a little different for people because most players are used to spending their holy power on wag now that doesn't mean it's not okay to use holy power on wag you're definitely going to want to use holy power on wag sometimes however most of your spot healing should come through holy shock and Flash of light and only wagging if you really need that extra spot healing otherwise you just want to send on of the righteous because our Spenders are fairly weak in comparison to infused flash of light casts so make sure that you're spending a lot of your holy power on Shield of righteous remember with shining righteousness you're going to get a lot of priority damage from that and you're also going to get a lot of free word of glories because we're running veneration you want to press Hammer of Wrath basically on cool down judgment should always be pressed on cool down as well because we're running righteous judgment Crusader strike is actually a pretty good button to press in this build because we run holy infusion what that's going to do is make it so that your holy power generation for Shield of the righteous is very high so you're just just pumping out a lot of damage and then finally you're going to Holy prism whenever you need to spot heal on the move again not 100% sure if you're going to end up running holy prism or lights Hammer so depending on what that final build ends up being once we switch tier sets I will let you guys know on wings's up for raid the play style changes very significantly this is what our raid talents will generally look like the play style of this build also revolves heavily around flash of light but because our Spenders got nerfed so significantly and you don't really have a reason to dump into Shield of the righteous in raid We've Ended up at a point where our holy power Spenders are so weak that you actually just don't want to press them unless you have stacks of dawn so I'd highly recommend that you have a good way of tracking your Dawn stacks and that you never press your Spenders in raid unless you have at least one stack of dawn the holy power tracker that I created will be gray whenever you're in raid and it only turns pink whenever you have Dawn Stacks so I found that color change to be very useful for me to stop me from casting Spenders if I don't have Dawn Stacks I've linked that week in the description below the other big difference in play style between raid and M plus is that in raid you don't want to use Crusader strike Hammer of Wrath or judgment basically ever the reason for that is because our holy power Spenders are so weak you almost always would rather press flash of light or holy shock or barrier of Faith or holy prism or one of our stronger buttons that aren't just pure holy power generators that don't do anything else so our general raid rotational priority is going to be holy shocking on cool down first barrier of faithing on cool down using infusions on flash of light or Holy Light if you have Divine favor available just like in plus and then spending your holy power on light of dawn orward of Glory whenever you have at least one stack of Dawn and finally using using holy prism on cool down your last priorities again are Crusader strike Hammer of Wrath and judgment only press those if you have nothing else available and don't have any infusion procs that pretty much covers everything I wanted to talk about in this video if you'd like to go a little more in depth with any new talents that you don't recognize or new cooldowns that we had gotten make sure to check out my 10.1.5 video where I go over all of that which is still very relevant and finally if you're interested in trinkets stat priorities and everything like that visit Wings up.com I will link in the description each of the sections on wings's up that talks about those different things that's it for now guys thank you very much for watching and if you guys have any questions feel free to leave them in the comments
