Tips for Cauldron of Carnage for Holy Paladin
Defensive Tips
- Defensive cooldowns such as
Divine Protection can often be used reactionary
on this fight when you find yourself likely to be hit by a mechanic or generating high
debuff stacks.
Cooldown Usage
- During
Colossal Clash, the bosses will leap together and start dealing
massive raid wide damage. This is one of the best opportunities to use

Aura Mastery will be extra powerful given
that you cannot stack well for other raid wide cooldowns such as
Spirit Link Totem for example.
Mechanical Tips
Scrapbomb must be soaked by players otherwise the raid will take massive
damage. Ideally you will want to split this among players on your side, but you can also
use

reach the max, you will be stunned but can use
Divine Shield to break that stun.

- Look to use
Avenging Wrath and

Tips for Sprocketmonger Lockenstock for Holy Paladin
Defensive Tips
- Look to use defensives when running between the phases.
Divine Shield can be helpful to run to the end early.
Cooldown Usage
- When the boss reaches Phase 2 at full energy, he will teleport players and you
will need to run to the other-side of the room while dodging mechanics. You may want to hold
Avenging Wrath until reaching the end, and you can also combine
Divine Shield
and
Divine Steed to reach the end quicker. You can also use
Aura Mastery while
running to help your party.
Mechanical Tips
Blessing of Freedom can be useful on raid members targetted by
Pyro Party Pack, allowing them to move farther away from the raid,
reducing damage taken.- Conveyor belts can be used to get around easier, but are often covered by mechanics and not worth using, especially as melee.
Mythic Difficulty
- More Information will be added once the raid has released.

Tips for One-Armed Bandit for Holy Paladin
Defensive Tips
- Don't be afraid to use defensives during
Foul Exhaust, including healthstones
and healing potions.
Cooldown Usage
Foul Exhaust will deal large damage to the party while also putting a healing absorb on players. You will want to deal with this quickly, making cooldowns such as
Avenging Wrath and
Divine Toll extremely useful.
Mechanical Tips
Pay-Line will stun players who are hit by the coins, there is a high likelihood
that
Blessing of Protection can be used to remove this effect. Similarly, you can use
Divine Shield if you are hit yourself.- Make sure to dispel
Withering Flames, but only when the player is out otherwise
they will spawn fire waves on-top of other players, likely killing them.
Mythic Difficulty
- More Information will be added once the raid has released.

Tips for Mug'Zee for Holy Paladin
Defensive Tips
- This encounter deals heavy damage through soaking mechanics as well as random explosions
and
Spray and Pray. You will need to make constant use of defensives throughout the fight
while also ensuring that you as well as other low health players are healthy enough before each soak or AoE damage effect.
Cooldown Usage
- Soaking
Goblin-guided Rocket will deal massive damage and will be a good opportunity to use
Avenging Wrath,
Aura Mastery and even
Divine Toll.
Mechanical Tips
Earthshaker Gaol will mark two players and need to be soaked by groups. Ideally one healer will soak each Gaol and be responsible for keeping their small group alive while the DPS
kill the add and break you out. Any DPS you can provide during this window can be helpful to speed
up the process.
Mythic Difficulty
- More Information will be added once the raid has released.

Tips for Chrome King Gallywix for Holy Paladin
Defensive Tips
- In Phase 1, Gallywix will continuously cast
Scatterblast Canisters on the raid, dealing massive
damage and placing a minor heal absorb. You should always aim to use a defensive cooldown during this or at
least use a healing potion or healthstone if you are not fully healthy. It is possible for it to entirely kill
you from 80% HP.
Cooldown Usage
- Cooldowns should be used as much as possible during P1 for the
Scatterblast Canisters mechanic. In phase
2 and 3, you should aim to line cooldowns up with the main healing absorption mechanics:
Fused Canisters and
Tick-Tock Canisters. Due to heavy damage on the fight, it is important that you break these healing absorbs
as quickly as possible. - Try to use
Aura Mastery during one of the dangerous
Scatterblast Canisters casts. These are typically
around 0:40 seconds and 1:20 seconds into the fight.
Mechanical Tips
Divine Shield can be used on a variety of mechanics to make life much easier, but outside of that are no
major mechanical tips to recommend.
Best Talents

General Healing Cooldown Usage
Holy Paladin has a few cooldowns to think about using optimally on the fights in Liberation of Undermine:
Avenging Wrath - Our main, 2-minute cooldown.
Divine Toll - Short cooldown anywhere from 45secs-1min depending on talents.
Aura Mastery - Raid wide defensive cooldown.
In general, you will want to use cooldowns as much as possible during a fight to maximize
your healing.
Avenging Wrath should be lined up with larger damage windows that ideally
last longer and take healers a bit to top players off.
Divine Toll should be used as
much as possible, nearly off cooldown even when damage intake is low.
Aura Mastery
will likely be assigned by your healing officer, but otherwise aim to use it with very large
hits or difficult healing windows.
General Defensive Cooldown Usage
Holy Paladin has access to the very short cooldown,
Divine Protection which should
be used as much as possible to reduce damage taken. Outside of this,
Divine Shield allows
you to not only stop all incoming damage, but exploit certain mechanics. You can often use this
to break out of forms of crowd control as well as soak mechanics that would typically require
your entire raid to soak. The best way to use this defensive will heavily depend on the fight
and what is actually happening. General rule of thumb however is that you should never die
with Divine Shield off cooldown. Always use it if you are in danger.
