Herald of the Sun rivals Templar on cleave damage but tends to perform worse on single-target and burst damage.

This build is focused on AoE damage, with a few concessions to keep single target output at a reasonable level.

• Rebuke is your regular short cooldown interrupt. Use it first if you need to interrupt spellcasting.
• Hammer of Justice is a single-target stun with a very long 6-second duration. Use it often to stun-casting mobs that you cannot interrupt with Rebuke.
• Blinding Light can be used to disorient enemies within 10 yards. This can be used as an AoE interrupt for crowd-controllable casting enemies.
• With a 5-second duration, Wake of Ashes is a very potent AoE stun, but it only works against Demon and Undead enemies.
• Repentance can be used to hinder a single Humanoid, Demon, Undead, Dragonkin, or Giant-type enemy within 30 yards until you attack it. Cast it if you want to move around or delay dealing with a particularly dangerous mob. Incapacitating the leader of a patrolling group will also stop the entire group from moving. Remember that you pull aggro and enter combat if you move too close to the incapacitated target.
• Turn Evil fears an Undead, Aberration, or Demon target within 20 yards for up to 40 sec.

• Intercession allows you to bring an ally back to life during combat.
• Activate Devotion Aura to reduce all damage taken by your group by 3%.
• Cleanse Toxins can remove all Poison and Disease effects from a group member.
• Blessing of Protection removes bleeds and other Physical damage effects. Additionally, it grants your target immunity to Physical damage and harmful effects for 10 seconds. It is often used on group members who pulled aggro from the tank via damage or healing.
• Blessing of Sacrifice reduces damage taken by a party member by 30%, but you suffer 100% of damage prevented. It lasts 12 seconds, or until transferred damage would cause you to fall below 20% health. Communicate with your tank and healer to plan when to use this.
• Blessing of Freedom removes and prevents movement-impairing effects for 8 seconds.
• Lay on Hands heals a friendly target for an amount equal to your maximum Health.
• Word of Glory can also be used as a heal if necessary, but as it costs Holy Power, you will lose a significant amount of damage if you cast it too frequently.

• Ki'katal the Harvester
  • Stand in black blood during Cosmic Singularity to root yourself to prevent being sucked in. Once it is over, you can remove the root with Blessing of Freedom or by using Rebuke or Hammer of Justice on the slime.
  • Cleanse Toxins will remove Cultivated Poisons. Only use it if the waves that will spawn will not hit other group members.

• If you stand in black blood, the root effect can be removed the same way it is on the boss.
• Many enemies apply Poison debuff effects. These can all be removed with Cleanse Toxins.

• The Coaglamation
  • You will need to soak orbs of black blood that move towards the boss. These will apply a healing absorption debuff; if your healer needs help removing this effect, healing abilities like Word of Glory and Lay on Hands can be useful.
• Izo, the Grand Splicer
  • Blessing of Freedom can be used to remove the roots from Umbral Weave.

• Some enemies will apply Poison debuff effects that can be removed with Cleanse Toxins.

• Rasha'nan
  • Blessing of Freedom can be used to move at regular speed on Sticky Webs.

• No special tips.

• Erudax
  • Divine Shield can be used to remove Void Tendrils if many spawn in the safe spot during Shadow Gale.

• Use Blessing of Sacrifice on any party members targeted by a Faceless Corrupter's Corrupt cast.

• Amarth
  • Wake of Ashes will stun all undead enemies that he spawns. Blinding Light and Hammer of Justice can also be used to help keep Frostbolt Volleys from going off.
• Surgeon Stitchflesh
  • Blessing of Protection will prevent all damage done to anybody targeted by Morbid Fixation. It will also remove Stitchneedle if necessary.
• Nalthor
  • Blessing of Freedom will remove Frozen Binds, but can also prevent the application entirely if it is cast before the debuff is applied.
  • Divine Shield will prevent Dark Exile from moving you to the lower area.

• Many enemies are undead, and will be stunned by Wake of Ashes. You should try to not hold it as it represents a significant amount of your damage, but be aware of the potential for diminishing returns on stun effects.
• Blessing of Protection will prevent all damage done to anybody targeted by Morbid Fixation.

• Tred'ova
  • Blessing of Protection can be used on players fixated by Mark Prey to prevent damage they would take from adds.

• Use Divine Shield when targeted by Overgrowth.
• You can use Cleanse Toxins to dispel Poisons that are applied by the enemies after Mistcaller.

• Chopper Redhook
  • Blessing of Protection will prevent most damage taken during this fight, including if a player is fixated by On the Hook in a poor location.
• Lockwood
  • Blessing of Protection will remove Gut Shot if it is applied.

• Enemies between Lockwood and Hadal Darkfathom will apply Poison and Disease effects to your tank that deal significant damage and can be removed with Cleanse Toxins.

• Eirich
  • Divine Shield can be used to remove Void Corruption and place Entropic Reckoning zones on top of previous ones.

• No special tips.

Blinding Light is our only AoE stop that will deal with the orbs. You can use single-target CC and interrupts like Hammer of Justice and Rebuke if necessary too.

Just focus down the Void Emissary when it spawns. You will not need to take any different talents for this.

Run around picking orbs up when they spawn. Try to keep a charge of Divine Steed available for this.

Cleanse Toxins and healing abilities like Word of Glory and Lay on Hands can be used to remove this debuff.
