Healer Rotation & Cooldowns
Healing Priority
Holy Paladins once again have Holy Power in Shadowlands which the healing gameplay will center around. While healing, always try and avoid going over the Holy Power cap, so be sure to keep an eye on it and spend it as needed.
Use the following spells as needed while healing, the ordering does reflect their priority.
Holy Shock This is mana efficient and generates Holy Power, and should be used as often as possible.
Crusader Strike (if talented w/ Crusaders Might) Use this to reduce the cooldown of Holy Shock and generate Holy Power.
Bestow Faith, Holy Prism, Lights Hammer, Judgment (if talented Judgment of Light) This group of spells have short-medium length cooldowns that should be utilized as often as possible.
Flash of Light, Holy Light When none of the above are available to use, these are good choices.
Hammer of Wrath This is an excellent low-mana spell for generating Holy Power.
Light of the Martyr A decent last-resort option to use if you are completely out of mana!
Holy Power Consumption Consume using Word of Glory (single target heal) or Light of Dawn (AoE heal).
