Holy Paladin Healing Ny'alotha Raid Guide — Dragonflight 10.2.5

This page is meant to be a rough outline of what to do on each fight as a Holy Paladin specifically. It is advisable to familiarize yourself with the mechanics and strategy of each encounter on our Nyalotha Raid Guide section. These guides and their talent recommendations are purely for progression kills, allowing you to increase your chances of killing the bosses.

This page will be updated in the coming weeks, after live testing.

We advise you to use the following essences against Wrathion, the Black Emperor.

• Major Slot
  • Vision of Perfection — Rank 3: Vision of Perfection + Strive for Perfection
• Minor Slots
  • Conflict and Strife — Rank 3: Strife
  • The Well of Existence — Rank 3: The Well of Existence
  • Unwavering Ward — Rank 3: Unwavering Ward

Avoid standing in front of or behind the boss as he has both a dangerous breath and a tail attack.

Once Incineration debuffs go out on the group, expect big raid damage after 8 seconds and set up accordingly. This occurs every 50-55 seconds. Gale Blast also causes high raid damage when cast. Look out for the overlap of both mechanics around 2:30 into the fight, which is the preferential time to use Aura Mastery.

You are able to reset and be immune to the stacking Creeping Madness stacks with Blessing of Freedom, which can also be used on other raid members should they reach high stacks.

For more information, please refer to our Wrathion, the Black Emperor guide.

We advise you to use the following essences against Maut.

• Major Slot
  • Vision of Perfection — Rank 3: Vision of Perfection + Strive for Perfection
• Minor Slots
  • Conflict and Strife — Rank 3: Strife
  • The Well of Existence — Rank 3: The Well of Existence
  • Unwavering Ward — Rank 3: Unwavering Ward

Make sure to have your cooldowns for Phase 2, where raid damage will be spiking extremely hard, due to the damage reflection effect on the boss. Pay attention to players targeted by Drain Essence and dispel them only when they run out of the group. Your mana in this phase regenerates, so be sure to use it.

For more information, please refer to our Maut guide.

  • Unwavering Ward — Rank 3: Unwavering Ward

Hammer of Justice and Blinding Light work on the illusions spawned by the boss.

Save your cooldowns for intermissions, which occur every 20% of Skitra's Health, especially for the end of them where damage on the raid ramps up dramatically.

For more information, please refer to our The Prophet Skitra guide.

Be ready to play your part in Void Ritual "football" match, as healers are the favored players to do it, due to caring less for the Voidwoken 99% damage reduction debuff inflicted upon participants.

Make sure to save Divine Steed for the torments.

For more information, please refer to our Dark Inquisitor Xanesh guide.

We advise you to use the following essences against The Hivemind.

The slow on the fixate debuff can be removed by using Blessing of Freedom. One Paladin can cover every other fixate.

  • The Well of Existence — Rank 3: The Well of Existence

  • Conflict and Strife — Rank 3: Strife
  • The Well of Existence — Rank 3: The Well of Existence

Make sure the tank is at full health before Despair expires, as you will almost certainly need to use a healing cooldown otherwise. Use Aura Mastery in Phase 3 on Heart of Darkness. Due to heavy damage in Phase 3, it can be a good idea to bubble a later Heart of Darkness so you can top low health players.

For more information, please refer to our Vexiona guide.

The final phase, starting at 40%, is a DPS and Healing race with massive damage. Make sure to have your cooldowns available for parts of this phase, and try to deal as much damage as possible. Make sure the active tank is as low as possible without killing them to counter Decaying Strike. You can also use Blessing of Protection to remove the Corrupted Essence debuff from yourself or allies.

For more information, please refer to our Ra-den the Despoiled guide.

We advise you to use the following essences against Il'gynoth, Corruption Reborn.

• Minor Slots
  • Conflict and Strife — Rank 3: Strife
  • The Well of Existence — Rank 3: The Well of Existence

You can use Blessing of Protection to prevent stacks from being applied to raid members who are being attacked by bloods.

Use Aura Mastery when bloods are blowing up or when moving to or from organs to reduce some of the damage intake.

Save Divine Steed for when you get targeted by Corruptor's Gaze. Using it to quickly move around the boss will cause the beam to go through the boss instead of taking up space in the room.

For more information, please refer to our Il'gynoth, Corruption Reborn guide.

In some cases, you will need to use Unbreakable Spirit instead of Rule of Law to ensure your Divine Shield is off cooldown in time for your assigned immune soak.

For more information, please refer to our N'Zoth the Corruptor guide.
