How to play at 30

Use Shield for prevention and Penance for the health gap; direct heals still carry the job.

30 · Holy damage with reserves

Holy Fire learned; Penance only if the 21-point talent is selected.

  1. 1

    Open with a short Holy sequence

    Start Holy Fire, then Smite or selected Penance against the same target. If Power in Light is selected, its listed Smite and Penance damage benefit applies only while your Holy Fire is present; this party-shield route does not select it. Keep Mana for a self-heal or Shield before the next pull.

  2. 2

    Prevent pushback, do not spam shields

    Use Power Word: Shield when its absorb buys a safe cast window. Weakened Soul limits another shield on that target; respond with Heal or Flash Heal instead of repeatedly trying a blocked recast.

  3. 3

    Finish without draining recovery

    A wand can finish a nearly-dead target when extra spell cost is wasteful and the position is safe. Use Psychic Scream only with clear surrounding space because fleeing enemies can bring another pack.

30 · Prevention and direct healing

Assigned tank and range are clear; no assumption of damage-to-healing conversion.

  1. 1

    Prepare before the spike

    Use Fortitude and Divine Spirit, then shield a target before expected damage when Weakened Soul permits. Official Rage rules no longer make absorbs reduce the tank’s incoming Rage.

  2. 2

    Penance the ally, not a damage proxy

    Use talented Penance on an ally with a real gap and a safe two-second channel. Between cooldowns use Heal for predictable recovery, Flash Heal when the next hit arrives sooner, or Renew for a steady smaller gap.

  3. 3

    Dispels and cooldowns prevent failure

    Dispel Magic or Cure Disease on the assigned harmful effect. Inner Focus can make an eligible important spell free; save it for useful healing rather than an overheal. Fade then move toward the tank if healing threat attracts an add.

30 · Party damage triage

Several party members injured; Prayer of Healing learned at 30.

  1. 1

    Save the next death before group filling

    Shield or Flash Heal the ally who cannot wait for a group cast, then assess Prayer of Healing on a party with enough missing health. It heals the target’s party within the listed range, not an unlimited raid.

  2. 2

    Do not shield through Weakened Soul

    Soul Warding, if selected, reduces cooldown and cost but does not remove every target’s Weakened Soul. Use direct heals while the debuff remains.

  3. 3

    Create a recovery interval

    If adds attack you, Fade and ask the tank to recover them; Psychic Scream can spread the pull and is only a controlled emergency option. Pause the next pull before Mana runs out.

Choose for the job in front of you

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 shields and direct recovery

Current 10–30: heal a small party with Shields and direct heals; Penance arrives at 30. Future 31–60: add shield/heal interactions, then Holy cast support.

When to use this route and what you give up
Use it when
Choose this with a regular tank or leveling partner and a healing assignment. Weakened Soul still limits repeat shields on one target; Penance heals an ally only when cast on that ally. This is an editorial party route.
Trade-off
The first 21 points buy Soul Warding and Penance but no Renewed Hope rank. The final 34 Discipline / 17 Holy route omits Holy Precision and Power in Light, so it is not a Holy-damage leveling plan. Binding Heal is delayed to 59.
Change direction when
Choose Shadow for mostly solo damage. Choose Holy if your group values earlier Binding Heal and broad direct-heal support over repeated shielding.

Level 30 · 21 points · Talented 0/5

This level: Penance 1/1

At 30, gain an allied recovery channel; enemy-target Penance deals damage and does not create Atonement healing.

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

Keep a Mana reserve for shields and emergency heals. Spirit’s in-cast value depends on Meditation; healing gear should not be replaced with hit gear just to deal occasional Holy damage.

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

Meditation ↗
