The current guide is for the patch 7.0.3  - there are no Artifacts yet. The information regarding Artifacts will appear in Legion guide.

Consider the first talent which reduces the HS and LoD cooldowns. Combined with a Crit build makes a great combination.

Rotation could be: Holy shock (for healing/dmg) > if crit Quick heal for the extra proc heal > Consider spend Light of Dawn > Crusader > Crusader > Holy shock > Flash of Light again if crit (Notice that this rotation is all smooth, you don't need to wait for any cooldown)

The counter part is not having that heal talent in the same segment but with this rotation you get more heal in less time.

For this rotation you need to be close to the battle so I would't pick Beacon of the Lightbringer, you don't get anything other than the 30% extra heal for LoD from that talent if you are close to the tank. I support the use of Beacon of Faith as tier 100 talent due to the high burst of healing you can get with this rotation. You can keep one on the tank and other on you to deal with the AoE damage you can take being a melee-healer and to make LotM emergency heals more takeable or attach it to the second tank... Someone being focused... Etc.

Please feel free to discuss this rotation. Since I'm using it I feel more comfortable at keeping people topped due to the heavy burst of heal.

Keep up the heals!

Reading your guide, I find myself disagreeing with your assessment of Light of the Martyr. If you just subtract out the damage it deals to you against the healing, you get 250% of SP / 7.5% of mana = 33.33 actual HPM, which seriously beats out Flash of Light's 26.57 and actually comes close to Holy Light's 35.42. Obviously if the damage will put you in danger of dying you should prefer a safer heal, but the increased efficiency and speed are very powerful, and should be used more aggressively than you suggest. I'd go so far as to say that if you're above ~60-80% health, you shouldn't make use of Flash of Light at all (depending on predictability of incoming damage and other fight mechanics, obv). Also -- gravy -- your Resto Druid will love you since their HoTs will never overheal you.

It doesn't proc Beacon though, so you lose at least 40% of the healing.

Your rotation requires you to be near the melee group all the time. And if you don't take Beacon of the Lightbringer, that means you won't heal very good if you need to heal ranged. This rotation could be usefull if you're only the tank healer. I'll give it a try, just to see how it feels being a melee healer, perhaps this is an option Blizz wanted us to have

I'm curious what are people averaging in hps and how people are managing against aoe based enemies in dungeons (especially CoS - aka Court of Stars) I'm finding myself on average between 100-175k hps and more often than not healing with flash of light over holy light due to tanks taking alot of bursty dmg.. I feel completely overwhelmed when in situations where people are taking multiple high amounts of aoe dmg. I tend to just go straight into BF on tank - spam FoL on dps - HS one of the dps or tank if needed to help keep people up. due to the amount of people not stacking or moving constantly i'm never sure if LoD is even worth the global cd as i'd probably only hit one or two people and it doesn't really do that "great" of healing. I do rock the BotL ilvl 100 talent and have considered BoV.. what would you guys recommend in my situation with the BotL talent?

Hey thanks for this, but gotta be honest I'm colorblind and the artifact trait map is extremely difficult to read. Thanks for the guide though!

My favourite part of this guide is recommending to take one skill in tier 6 because it has good synergy with another skill in tier 8, then disregarding said another skill in the recommendations for tier 8 as garbage. Do you people even review the guides you post here?

Are you sure you have read the guide? Let's just quote directly from the guide to let you review it again.

Quote

For dungeon content, the same applies in general. Holy Prism Icon Holy Prism has nice synergy with the Beacon of Virtue Icon Beacon of Virtue tier 7 talent, which can come in handy in dungeon groups. 

Quote

Beacon of Virtue Icon Beacon of Virtue is very strong, but unfortunately it is too Mana-intensive to use in most cases.

For dungeon content, Beacon of Virtue Icon Beacon of Virtue is recommended (since Mana is not typically an issue in 5-man content).

Thanks for your comment.

I just thought i would put in that having Divine Purpose is actually great with Second Dawn, I've done like 7 light of dawns in a row because they proc off of each other really great combo. Situational yes but still great and the reason i thought i should say this is because it says go for Second dawn as 4th or 5th priority on relics but says it goes down in priority if you have Divine purpose.

I'm confused as to why it says to enchant our necks with Mark of the Trained Soldier (+300 Mastery)?

I believe this is due to the interaction between the two. They cancel each other out and only 1 can activate, with Divine Purpose being wasted. Light of Dawn gets highlighted as being available for DP, but is placed on cooldown by Second Dawn.

This is why it goes down in value, because it wastes DP procs.

It is the only static neck enchant available that is useful to HPaladin.

  1. Intellect;
  2. Critical Strike;
  3. Versatility;
  4. Mastery;
  5. Haste.

I'd suggest following our priority, which would mean Versatility is your best stat after crit.

Generic comment being mass posted over the comments threads guys.

We are aware of the changes and our writers are working hard to update the guides to suit what has changed. Currently, there is a lot of work still to be done and it's unlikely that every guide will be up-to-date immediately. Expect a flood of updates over the coming days that will answer all of your questions about what is now best after X change, in time for the reset next week.

Thanks for your understanding and patience.

Can anyone tell me why Vers is the 2nd best secondary stat for Holy Paladins? It doesn't benefit our kit in the slightest. I would likely prefer and tell people to do Crit Haste or Crit Mastery over Crit Vers any day.

I wouldn't follow that seeing as Versatility really doesn't give any beneficial utility. It's better to grab Mastery or Haste

It's not. 

Please take a second to actually read the section of the guide directly under what you are discussing.

Quote

The effectiveness of Mastery depends on where you, your Beacon target(s), and the raid is positioned. In situations where the entire group is very close to you or your Beacon, Mastery outperforms Versatility. In most raiding situations where the group is spread out, the further your targets are, the less your heals benefit from Mastery. If your target is further than 15 yards away from you, Versatility is the better stat.

Also, I'm not sure how Vers "doesn't benefit our kit in the slightest", considering it is a flat increase to all healing done.

Guys look at the second raid loot table, there aren't any crit-versa items, not even the set items has this combo. I would say crit haste instead. Haste reduces Holy Shock's, light of dawn's cooldown and ofc the global cooldown. When you stack a lot of crit haste the light of martyr, holy shock, holy light, light of dawn rotation comes in the picture. The legendary neck piece is a must have, so as the shoulder piece. With a lot of haste and the 4 set bonus you will spam the shit out of people with holy shocks and holy lights.
But hey, we aren't there yet, this is just my opinion.

      Blizzard have clarified why players are able to get a full Spark of Awakening through the two available Splinters in the first week of Dragonflight Season 4, and it seems it's only for this week and only due to catch-up rules being enabled! 
      Splintered Spark (Source)
      Just want to confirm this with some details.
      Everyone essentially started Season 4 in catch-up mode. Players were able to get 1 Splintered Spark of Awakening from the weekly quest, whether that’s the weekly “Last Hurrah” quest or the PvP weeklies offered by Malicia.
      And then you’re able to get another splinter / half-spark from any valid catch-up sources, such as Mythic+, Awakened Raids, and PvP wins.
      Next week and thereafter, only one Splintered Spark is obtainable every week. And like Seasons 2 and 3, with the increasing cap on Splintered Sparks per week, and if you ever fall behind you will be able to get Splintered Sparks from any catch-up source.

      It seems there may be an easier way to obtain the Tusks of Mannoroth appearance during the Mists of Pandaria Remix event! 
      The tusks are one of the rarest transmogs in the game currently, even with the recently added Siege of Orgrimmar skip, as their drop rates are VERY low (0.1-0.3%, reportedly). As spotted by MrGM, the new Tusks of Mannoroth are a cosmetic appearance item added in the new limited time event. Now, some have suggested they may just be purchasable from the Bronze vendor (the currency that will drop off of pretty much anything in the event), making them pretty easy to get, but it seems there might be a different way to get them. 
      It's unclear whether the cosmetic will actually be purchasable or if it will drop somewhere else, but another interesting Mannoroth-related item was added as well, the Bones of Mannoroth, which may be related to the cosmetic.

      As you can see the bones are a stackable resource you gain from killing Garrosh, and it's looking like they're a way to guarantee the Tusk appearance with enough kills! Just how many drop is unclear, but assuming you need all 20 for the appearance and that Normal drops 1, Heroic 2 and Mythic 3 bones, it may take at least 7 weeks to get them. Now the number required might be/is likely to be lower than the 20  stack maximum, and we may get more bones per kill.
      But even at 7 weeks it's much, much easier to get than the current "hope for 0.3%" in retail, so it's still a pretty good deal! This may or may not upset players that farmed for the tusks for a long time the regular way, but there's a whole lot players that will be thrilled!
      The Remix: Mists of Pandaria event starts on May 16th and should last until August 19th.

      If you plan on buying the physical War Within Collector's Edition and live in Europe, you're going to have a bad time!
      Blizzard has ceased distributing WoW Collector's Editions through retailers with the release of Dragonflight, making the Blizzard Store the only place to buy them. However, the shipping costs could be a dealbreaker for many collectors eager to acquire the latest edition for the upcoming expansion.
      Reddit user katamai from Serbia posted a screenshot of their order, revealing that the shipping fees exceed the cost of the box itself—280 Euros for shipping compared to 200 Euros for the box, totaling 480 Euros.

      Additionally, Emi, a follower on our Facebook page, reported a shipping cost of 99 Euros to Romania, nearly ten times what it costs to ship to the UK.

      A practical workaround might be to order the Collector's Edition to a UK address and then use a shipping service to forward it to your address in Europe, potentially saving a considerable amount of money.
      How much does it cost to ship the box to your country?
