Holy Paladin Healing Easy Mode — The War Within (11.0.7)
On this page, we explain how to easily play Holy Paladin in World of Warcraft — The War Within (11.0.7), using the simplest rotation, talent tree, stat priority, gear setup, etc., without sacrificing performance.
Foreword
This section is intended for players who are new to the game or class, have no intentions of raiding Mythic difficulty or simply want a more straightforward way to play their specialization without being overwhelmed by the numerous priorities and active abilities that need to be taken into consideration for optimal play.
The Basics of Holy Paladin in The War Within
Holy Paladins do best at passively supporting tanks with their beacons and single-target healing in general. In addition to this, Holy Paladins are peculiar because they have many tools at their disposal that allow them to handle various encounter mechanics in ways that other healers cannot.
If you are completely new to Holy Paladin and need more information on the abilities available to you, you can check out our Spell Summary page.

Basic Playstyle for Holy Paladins
Below, we will break down your overall priorities depending on the form of content you find yourself doing.
Raid Healing
This rotation will assume that you are playing the recommended Avenging Crusader raid build. Otherwise, please consult with the rotation page for additional rotations depending on your desired build.
- Cast
Judgment as much as possible. - Consume Holy Power with
Word of Glory for Single-Target healing or
Light of Dawn for AoE healing. - Cast
Crusader Strike as much as possible. - Cast
Holy Shock as a filler.
5-Man Healing
5-man healing is very similar to raiding rotations, with the exception
that you will be casting 
Word of Glory much more frequently. This rotation
will assume that you are playing the recommended Mythic+ build.
- Use Holy Shock as your primary healing spell.
- Consume Holy Power with Word of Glory.
- Cast Crusader Strike to generate Holy Power and reduce the cooldown
of Holy Shock.
- Help your group kill enemies by using
Consecration!
