Best The War WithinTalents for Holy Paladins
Note that these builds are generic recommendations for various content. For more specific recommendations for the Raid and Mythic+, check out the dedicated pages below.
Best Builds for Holy Paladin
Herald of the Sun Standard Melee
This build focuses on Crusader Strike as a filler global
instead of casted abilities such as
Flash of Light and
Holy Light.
Be sure to make use of the 'Export Talents' button to import the best build directly into your game!
Lightsmith Avenging Crusader
This build focuses on the synergy between Hammer and Anvil and the
Avenging Crusader talents. Both of these place heavy emphasis on casting
Judgment as frequently as possible, and less on some of your standard
core abilities such as
Holy Shock. This build excels when you are in
spread encounters and are unable to make great use of
Herald of the Sun,
but it does require you to constantly be in range of the boss to make use of
Crusader Strike as much as possible.
Be sure to make use of the 'Export Talents' button to import the best build directly into your game!
Herald of the Sun Casting
This is the build you will be playing the majority of the time. It focuses on
Holy Shock,
Holy Light and
Infusion of Light. The goal
is to press Holy Shock as much as possible, spending Holy Power whenever you can,
and consuming
Infusion of Light when you cannot do the other two actions.
Be sure to make use of the 'Export Talents' button to import the best build directly into your game!
Mythic+ Talents
The Mythic+ build is your standard melee-centric build that emphasizes heavy
use of Crusader Strike for increased value of
Holy Shock (thanks
to
Crusader's Might) and Holy Power spenders.
Be sure to make use of the 'Export Talents' button to import the best build directly into your game!
Delves
This build focuses on optimizing damage while maintaining the standard Mythic+ talents. If you ever are in need of additional healing, you can look towards dropping some damage talents in favor of more healing.
Be sure to make use of the 'Copy Export String' button to import the best build directly into your game!
