The Naked Fear

Paladin healing is easy. I'm lazy and won't go into detail, but really there isn't much to say.

Rotation/Strategy:
1) As the fight begins, cast Sacred shield on whichever tank you are focus healing on, followed by a flash of light, which will put a HoT on the tank that ticks between 400-700 depending on how hard you flash heal. Remember to renew your sacred shield every 30 seconds.

2) Make sure to keep judgement of Light on the raid target at all time. That means whatever add/boss is being focused. If the dps is split between 2 different targets, use your better judgement (lol pun) and cast it on whatever target has more raid dps focused on it. Keeping your judgement up will double your raid healing overall in the heal meters.

3) Always keep BoL (Beacon of Light) on the off-tank at all times. Letting this fade without refresh could cause a raid wipe, and it also hurts your position on the healing meters.
--For fights like faction champions, it is wise to change your BoL target to whoever is taking consistent damage. I often change who receives BoL during that fight, because the Champs often switch targets. On the Dreadscale/Acidmaw fight, I give the ranged target BoL and switch healing between the 2 tanks as they switch roles.

4) When to use what heal: If all is normal, I cast flash of light on the tank, since I am a single target healer+ BoL.

If I see that the raid healers need some help, I will cast a quick holy shock/instant flash heal (If holy shock crits) on whoever needs it.

If the raid is taking AE damage, they are naturally stacked and I will use my Divine Illumination cooldown (3 min.) and spam holy light. With my haste/245 Libram, my Holy light cast time is the same as my flash heal. 1 second. This allows massive splash healing as well as heavy heals on the tank and my BoL OT. (must have the Holy light glyph)

5) O Shit!?!? The tank is going to die!: Instead spamming flash of light or trying to get holy light off while the tank is at 40% health or less, I find the Divine Favor+holyshock+instant flash heal a lot more effective. It is an instant 13k health in literally 2 seconds.

6) Running low on mana? no pots?: If you have Seal of wisdom on, as you should with the glyph, it is easy to smack the boss and get 1k mana per swing. My mace has a 1.6 second swing rate, so that is a lot of free mana in no time. It is a chance on hit to gain mana, but your chances are high. During this time you have to still heal, but 1 second flash heal and Holy Shock shouldn't be difficult.

Also, popping Divine Illumination and Divine Plea will help you gain enough mana to survive a fight. If you are oom, it means you are in p3 of Anub Hard mode. If you are oom and not on this fight... well you're doing something wrong.

The simple things:
-Concentration aura
-Use wings if necessary (usually used for hammer of wrath at the end of a fight)
-You can judge wisdom if others need mana too. They will probably find there own way, but that is possible.
-Holy wrath works if you are getting owned by scarabs
-When BoPing ppl on Anub hard mode, Please wait till the Spikes are almost touching them, not as soon as he targets them.
-BoP clothies that are being raped on Faction Champs.
-Snowbolds silence, faction champs silence, Aura Mastery=no silence (pop when you can or if you can tell when it's necessary)
-BoF (blessing of freedom) works on frost and on people being slowed by Champs.



Well, I'm sure I forgot something, but I hope that this is helpful to some people. I've been playing a paladin healer for almost 5 years now.
