Holy Paladin Healing Spell List and Glossary — Dragonflight 10.1

If you are new to Holy, this is a great place to start to get an understanding of how the spec works. On this page we will discuss what abilities you have, what they are used for within the specialization, how they interact with each other and also with important cooldowns. If you already have experience with Holy and are comfortable with it in the current expansion, it is recommended you skip this section and move on to the rest of the guide.

You have two primary resources as a Holy Paladin, with the first being Mana. The majority of your spells cost Mana, and ensuring you do not run out of it over the course of each encounter is crucial to being able to heal competitively. The second resource comes in the form of Holy Power. You generate Holy Power by using abilities like Holy Shock and Crusader Strike. Once you have generated 3 Holy Power, you can then spend it on abilities like Word of Glory and Light of Dawn. In order to be successful as a Holy Paladin, you need to ensure you are generating and spending Holy Power , as well as Mana, as efficiently as possible.

Note that this page simply lists all the different abilities, assuming you are at max level. If you are leveling, check out our dedicated Holy Paladin Leveling page, which has detailed information on when you unlock all of these abilities.

What ability you choose to use your infusion on will depend on the situation. Holy Light is one of the best heals available to us, but it does have a rather long cast time that can be difficult to weave in. If you have the chance to cast Holy Light without putting yourself in danger and without impacting the rest of your rotation, then you will want to prioritize casting that. If you are unable to safely cast it or do not have the time, you can use Flash of Light on a member of your group who is in danger or on your Beacon of Light target to generate 1 Holy Power. In the past, it has not be worth to cast healing spells on your Beacon target but with the introduction of Holy Power, it is now acceptable.
