How to play at 30

Choose the heal by time to impact; keep an emergency instant and a workable solo weapon.

30 · Solo between healing runs

Holy talents remain allocated; a usable melee weapon and Mana for a self-heal.

  1. 1

    Seal and strike

    Keep Seal of Righteousness, use Holy Strike in melee, and Judgement when the Mana cost still leaves healing room; this snapshot’s Judgement does not consume the Seal.

    Talents Forever · paladin client exporttalents tree/name/rank and spell_desc class|spell|rank; local content/talents.json and content/spells.json, build 1.60.1.70291
  2. 2

    Do not spend healing Mana as area damage

    Against one enemy, compare another Holy Strike with Consecration’s cost. Use Flash of Light or Holy Light before the enemy can force an unsafe low-health cast, with Hammer of Justice buying space if stunnable.

  3. 3

    Keep the emergency heal ready

    If Holy Shock is selected, reserve it for movement or a near-lethal health gap rather than always using damage on cooldown; stop between pulls to refill Mana.

30 · Tank healing and triage

Tank health trend is visible; healing range and line of sight are clear.

  1. 1

    Set blessings and safe position

    Agree Kings, Wisdom or Salvation assignments, keep Concentration Aura if it serves the group, and stand where the tank can recover loose enemies without a frontal attack reaching you.

  2. 2

    Match heal to the next hit

    Flash of Light handles smaller gaps with a short cast; begin Holy Light early for a larger incoming gap. Divine Favor, if selected, supports a planned eligible critical heal; Holy Shock covers movement or an immediate rescue.

  3. 3

    Cleanse only what you own

    At 30 use Purify for Poison and Disease; Cleanse’s Magic dispel starts at 42. Use Blessing of Freedom for movement pressure, and discuss Lay on Hands because it drains your remaining Mana.

30 · Several allies hurt

More than one ally is injured; no assumption of a raid-wide smart heal.

  1. 1

    Save the next death first

    Heal the ally who may die before the next cast, then the tank’s next-hit gap. Use Holy Shock only when talented and the instant timing matters; spread Flash of Light across stable smaller gaps.

  2. 2

    Prevent rather than chase damage

    Blessing of Protection can protect a suitable ally from physical attacks but also restricts physical actions and applies Forbearance; do not place it casually on the active tank. Voice of Truth prevents silence or interrupts, not all incoming damage.

  3. 3

    Call a pause before the bar is empty

    Avoid using Consecration during group healing pressure. If the whole party is unstable, ask for crowd control or a smaller next pull and regenerate before more damage arrives.

LEVEL BY LEVEL · ORDINARY POINT BUDGET

Your route from 10 to 60

Pick the route for your activity, then the level you need. Start at 30 for the last verified Beta stage. Later levels remain a separate plan.

Party healer · Cast recovery and instant rescue

Heal a dungeon tank and endangered allies, keep Mana for dispels, and contribute damage only during safe healing gaps.

When to use this route and what you give up
Use it when
10–30 follows the last-announced Beta cap; 31–60 is a future projection. Use when assigned to heal. Divine Favor arrives at 25 and Holy Shock at 30; Light’s Vigil at 40 and Cleanse at 42 are future tools.
Trade-off
Early solo damage is sacrificed for healing, pushback protection and Mana recovery. The older panel’s Improved Holy Strike talent is absent here; the dated client makes Holy Strike’s ten-second cooldown baseline.
Change direction when
For mostly solo melee, use Retribution and retain healing gear for dungeons. Against frequent Fear or Disorient, bring Unyielding Faith forward by delaying offensive support.

Level 30 · 21 points · Talented 0/5

This level: Holy Shock 1/1

At 30, add an instant ally heal or enemy damage choice. Reserve the cooldown and Mana when the next rescue is likely.

Stat priorities at 30

Upgrade priorities for level-30 play, not simulated stat weights. First keep enough health and resources for your role; compare upgrades of similar level. Hit and critical chance depend on the target and your allocated talents; no universal cap is assumed.

  1. Intellect
  2. Healing
  3. Spirit
  4. Stamina

Intellect supports a larger casting reserve. Illumination only returns Mana for the heals named in its tooltip and only if talented; do not value every critical effect as a refund.

Read the mechanics behind this choice

These effects apply only with the named talent and its required ranks. The excerpt shows rank 1; your own build may differ.

Illumination ↗

After getting a critical effect from your Flash of Light, Holy Light, Light's Vigil, or Holy Shock heal spell you have a 20% chance to gain Mana equal to 50% of the base cost of the spell.

Applies Light's Vigil to the target for 30 sec. Your next Holy Shock cast on them triggers no cooldown and causes enemy targets to suffer 175 to 189 Holy damage and refund 75% of Light's Vigil's Mana cost, or allied targets to heal their party for 325 to 343. You may only have one Light's Vigil active per party.
