Class Overview for Holy Paladin Healer in Wrath of the Lich King
Wrath of the Lich King is when Holy Paladins really come into their own, becoming a meta-defining powerhouse of a spec that excels in both PvE and PvP. In original Wrath of the Lich King, Paladins underwent a major overhaul of their systems to add a little more complexity and depth to each of the specs, and Holy Paladin is one of the biggest recipients of a "buff" in that regard. Though a lot of the spells function similarly to the TBC counterparts, additions of some maintenance buffs and an overall increased skill ceiling means that skill expression is at the forefront of this spec in WotLK.
As a result, it means Holy Paladins are a core staple of PvE healing rosters, and a meta-defining S-tier healer in PvP. It will be virtually impossible to find a raid roster without a Holy Paladin and in 25-mans, even 2 are not going to be an uncommon sight. Suffice it to say, Holy Paladins are in a great spot in Wrath Classic and truly do well whether it's in dungeons, raids, battlegrounds, and Arenas.
If you are the type of person who likes to choose your class based on its power in the current raid, we have prepared a Tier List that goes over the best Healer specs in the current raid tier and an explanation on why from our Class Writers.

Class Changes for Holy Paladin Healer in Wrath of the Lich King
The Paladin class received a major overhaul in Wrath of the Lich King, mostly to streamline play and broaden its skill expression in some missing avenues. Despite the major removal of downranking and another nerf to Illumination, Holy Paladin in Wrath Classic is one of the specs that is affected the least from mana problems as it has a slew of powerful new ways to manage and regain it. Additionally, through
圣光道标
Holy Paladins now gain a tremendous amount of flexibility and additional throughput that was lacking in the past.
Changes to existing abilities & talents
复仇之怒
—Now increases healing caused by 20% for 20 seconds. This is great for high damage phases or when playing catch-up.
自律
—The duration has doubled to 120 seconds up from 60 seconds.
圣佑术
—Now a 50% damage reduction cooldown.
智慧圣印
—Changed from a fixed amount to a percentage.
神圣震击
—Now a 6 second cooldown, down from 15.
启发
—Reduced to 30% mana return, down from 60%.
灵魂协调
—Removed as a baseline passive and changed to a deep Protection talent.
王者祝福
—No longer a Protection talent but a baseline spell for all Paladins.
圣疗术
—No longer costs mana.
Certain utility Blessings have been changed into "Hand" spells, which means you will no longer have to re-Bless targets after you use them. The "new" Hand spells are
保护之手
,
自由之手
,
牺牲之手
, and
拯救之手
.
Downranking spells is no longer a good idea as every spell costs a percentage of mana regardless of spell rank, rather than a fixed amount.
Seals are no longer a 30 second temporary buff that get consumed by Judgement, and instead are 30 minute enhancements which give Judgements additional effects.
Judgement has been broken up into three spells:
智慧审判
,
圣光审判
, and
公正审判
. For PvE you will be primarily using Light and Wisdom.
As you can see from this list, the Paladin class received a major overhaul in Wrath of the Lich King, generally in terms of quality of life buffs as well as direct buffs to specific abilities. Despite the major removal of downranking and another nerf to Illumination, Holy Paladin in Wrath Classic is one of the specs that is affected the least from mana problems as it has a slew of powerful new ways to manage and regain it.
New abilities & talents
圣光道标
—As with most specs' WotLK capstone talents, this is a major play defining ability. You'll change your preferred heal target entirely on most fights to play around Beacon..
神圣恳求
—This is THE mana regeneration ability for Holy Paladin in WotLK and the main thing you'll be playing around all the time to manage mana now, instead of downranking.
圣洁护盾
—By far your most efficient heal, this essentially gives tanks a constant
真言术:盾
-style effect for a whole minute.
神圣牺牲
/
神圣守护者
—One of the only true raid cooldowns available in WotLK, this is extremely flexible and a powerfully unique cooldown to Paladins.
光环掌握
—Increases your active aura's effect by 100%. For example,
冰霜抗性光环
would give 260 Frost resistance for 6 seconds before going back down to the original 130. A little more niche, but still a good "free" raid cooldown at times.
圣光灌注
—This significantly helps Holy Paladin mobility when healing and makes
神圣震击
even nicer when you do have to use it.
纯洁审判
—A major free 15% haste buff that you'll keep up at all times.
The playstyle of Holy Paladin in Wrath Classic changes rather dramatically from TBC; the biggest change is that it essentially adds several buffs to manage, namely
圣光道标
,
圣洁护盾
, and
纯洁审判
. After that, it's the same gameplay as always - but with an emphasis on active mana management via
神圣恳求
and
智慧圣印
. While downranking may have been removed, this "active" decisionmaking component to Holy Paladin mana regeneration means that there's still a large skill ceiling to managing mana in WotLK.
Class Viability for Holy Paladin Healer in Wrath of the Lich King
It's no secret that Holy Paladins are the strongest healer in Wrath of the Lich King, and a variety of new Classic discoveries and optimized metas pushes it even more into the spotlight. The spec excels in both PvP and PvE, considered top tier and meta-defining in both avenues. In PvE, the spec brings the most consistent, powerful tank healing, while also bringing a bevy of unique raid cooldowns that other healers lack. In PvP, it's an extremely resilient healer that's nigh-impossible to kill, while also nearly impossible to make run OOM while they pump incredible healing output.
Aside from their raw healing, Holy Paladins bring the usual utility they're known for. Blessings are mostly the same as they were in WotLK; there's three major changes made to the list. The first is that
王者祝福
was made baseline to all Paladins and no longer as a talent, while the second is that Blessing of Salvation as you knew it is no more - instead, tanks all got a built-in increased threat modifier. This means that there are only three raid Blessings to worry about in practice,
王者祝福
,
智慧祝福
, and
力量祝福
. Protection Paladins additionally spec into
庇护祝福
, but its value is rather niche as the increased stats don't stack with Kings.
Some of the utility Blessings were changed into a category of spells called "Hands", which no longer overwrite Blessings. These are
自由之手
,
保护之手
,
牺牲之手
, and
拯救之手
, which mostly all work the same as they did in the past but now you can cast them a lot more freely and no longer have to worry about re-Blessing targets. Due to this and the raid utility they bring with their other cooldowns, Holy Paladins will be extremely high in demand in Wrath of the Lich King Classic, and a good one will stand head and shoulders over an average one.
Class Mechanics for Holy Paladin Healer in Wrath of the Lich King
Healing
The primary heals you'll be using throughout WotLK are still the same three you've known throughout TBC, of
神圣震击
,
圣光闪现
, and
圣光术
. However, there are a few buffs to manage that significantly increase the effectiveness of these heals. For those new to Holy Paladin,
圣光术
is your main staple heal that casts somewhat slowly and heals for a lot, while also costing a fair bit of mana.
圣光闪现
is your cheap, fast heal that heals for very little but can be used during low damage phases or to conserve mana. Lastly,
神圣震击
sees a major buff in WotLK in both cooldown and healing done, making it an excellent heal to use when you're on the move or need to heal someone instantly. Crits from
神圣震击
give you the
圣光灌注
effect, causing your next
圣光闪现
to become instant or your next
圣光术
to have a 20% increased crit chance.
While these are your main heals, you have two key buffs to maintain:
圣光道标
and
纯洁审判
. At level 80, you will also gain
圣洁护盾
to maintain. All three of these buffs last 1 minute, so refreshing them is very lenient, though it's important to keep in mind the high mana cost of
圣光道标
.
圣光道标
allows you to heal other targets than your Beacon (who will generally be the tank), meaning Holy Paladin finally has some form of "AoE" healing.
纯洁审判
gives you a whopping 15% Haste for free, and
圣洁护盾
is a very powerful heal that will constantly shield a tank it's on.
When starting a fight, you will want to precast
圣光道标
and
圣洁护盾
on a target, ideally the main tank or a similar target who will be taking large amounts of consistent damage throughout the fight. On pull, you will want to cast one of your Judgements to gain the
纯洁审判
buff. Afterwards, you will launch into your regular healing spells as normal; gauge the situation and your mana to see if
圣光术
is good to cast.
Lastly, at level 71, you will unlock
神圣恳求
, which adds another level of complexity as you'll need to constantly plan ahead and watch your mana and the cooldown to manage your throughput and mana consumption accordingly.
Healing Effects and Useful Cooldowns
One of the changes with Wrath Classic is that
复仇之怒
grants an increase to the Holy Paladins healing by 20% for 20 seconds on a 3 minute cooldown. This is a helpful cooldown to manage around high damage phases when extra healing needs to happen.
神启
remains a strong cooldown to help with mana consumption, reducing the mana cost of all spells by 50% for 15 seconds with a 3 minute cooldown.
神圣恳求
is an amazing cooldown, returning 25% of your total mana over 15 seconds with the caveat of your healing output reduced by 50% while it is active. This is best saved during lower damage phases and will vary based on fights.
智慧圣印
coupled with
智慧圣印雕文
reduces the cost of your healing spells by 5% so long as your seal is active.
Defensive Cooldowns
Holy Paladins have always been known for strong buffs and defensive cooldowns. There is no shortage in Wrath Classic as this continues to be the trend.
神圣守护者
(the improved version of
神圣牺牲
) is an amazing raid cooldown, reducing damage taken by 20% for all party and raid members within 30 yards. This is incredibly useful in high damage AoE phases or if the tank needs a little extra survivability help. This also augments your
圣洁护盾
, increasing its duration from 30 seconds to 1 minute and increasing the amount absorbed by 20%.
圣盾术
, also known as bubble, is your immunity spell. Using this to survive a mechanic or ignore specific dangers to safely heal your raid is a great cooldown to have in your back pocket.
圣佑术
is another handy damage reduction ability for the Holy Paladin, reducing all damage taken by 50% for 12 seconds, though it is important to note the limitations with
自律
, being unable to have another immunity ability used for 2 minutes as well as being unable to use
复仇之怒
for 30 seconds either before or after these defensive cooldowns and vice versa.
光环掌握
is an amazing 6 second buff to your auras, increasing their effectiveness by 100%. For example,
冰霜抗性光环
would give 260 Frost resistance for 6 seconds before going back down to the original 130.
Hands
Hands are helpful buffs that can be used for varying situations, but only one Hand per paladin per player may be active at a time.
自由之手
: replaces Blessing of Freedom. Grants immunity to movement impairing effects for 10 seconds (up to 14 seconds when talented with
守护者的宠爱
).
保护之手
: replaces Blessing of Protection. Gives a targeted ally member immunity from physical attacks for 10 seconds with a 5 minute cooldown (reduced to a 3 minute cooldown when talented with
守护者的宠爱
).
牺牲之手
: replaces Blessing of Sacrifice. When placed on a party of raid member, this Hands transfers 30% damage taken to the Paladin, lasting either 12 seconds or until the caster has transferred 100% of their maximum health.
拯救之手
replaces Blessing of Salvation. When placed on a party or raid member, reduces their total threat by 2% every 1 second for 10 seconds.
Strengths & Weaknesses for Holy Paladin Healer in Wrath of the Lich King
Strengths
Extremely strong tank healer with added area of effect healing through
圣光道标
and
圣光雕文

神圣守护者
and
拯救之手
High demand class which will be sought after for the entire expansion

Human is the clear winner for PvP for Alliance, but for PvE, it's much fuzzier and all three options are viable; in general we advise picking whichever one you like the appearances of the most. Horde only has one option for Paladin, but its racial is quite powerful for Holy. The following section has a few things to consider if trying to decide on an Alliance race.
Alliance
For Alliance, the decision is between Human, Dwarf, and Draenei.
Humans have
生存意志
which is a PvP trinket without taking up a slot; it is very useful having it as an option to get out of a potentially threatening situation. It's essentially considered PvP BiS, as this lets you wear a second, more powerful trinket instead of the PvP trinket in that slot. With Wrath of the Lich King,
感知
becomes a passive rather than an active and provides a small edge against Rogues and Feral Druids, though this is fairly minor as neither of these specs are particularly worrying to Holy Paladin.
Due to Paladins not having any talents to regenerate mana in combat,
人类精魂
effectively does nothing.
外交
can be helpful when first getting reputations up, but it will have a falling off naturally.
Lastly,
剑专精
and
锤类武器专精
are surprisingly useful as Holy Paladins want to melee in Wrath of the Lich King Classic. This slightly increases the chances to hit when in melee range to try and get
智慧圣印
procs.
The racials that Dwarves have that concern Holy Paladin in Wrath of the Lich King Classic are
冰霜抗性
,
石像形态
, and
锤类武器专精
. Due to the frozen setting of WotLK,
冰霜抗性
is surprisingly relevant quite often, though a very minor benefit.
石像形态
provides a unique Bleed removal that normally doesn't exist, as well as an armor buff, but this is of very little use to Holy Paladins.
锤类武器专精
is a slightly improved version of the Human racial, and as maces tend to be healing weapons, this is generally a slightly better version of the Human racials.
The primary benefit of Draenei is
英雄灵气
which is a great party-wide buff granting 1% melee and spell hit. This is fairly decent as a support class, though again quite minor. Unfortunately,
纳鲁的赐福
does not transfer through
圣光道标
as well as having a very weak healing coefficient; the only boon is that it's off the GCD, meaning that it's effectively free, but basically irrelevant healing.
宝石切割
is a minor boon for those that decide to go
珠宝加工
, which will likely be a majority of Paladins.
Horde
For Horde, the only option is to be a Blood Elf.
奥术洪流
is your only real relevant extra ability, but an AoE silence is a utility that no other class shares and is a major boon to the Paladin class, which has no interrupts or silences otherwise. It also regenerates 6% of your MAXIMUM mana when used and is off the GCD, meaning it returns a surprisingly significant amount of mana for Holy Paladin especially in later tiers.
Best Professions for Holy Paladin Healer in Wrath of the Lich King
Engineering
One of the Paladin class's biggest weaknesses in Wrath of the Lich King is a lack of on-demand mobility, and that's the biggest thing that Engineering shores up for every spec via the
硝化甘油推进器
boot enchant. While on occasion you will prefer a consistent amount of movespeed instead, this enchant on your primary pair of boots is an invaluable option that can essentially be considered as gaining a wholly new ability, an effect that no other profession offers.
That's not where the bonuses stop.
超级加速器
is your go-to glove enchant and acts as a mini-healing cooldown that will come in handy constantly. Lastly, Engineering has its usual bevy of bombs, with
通用热力工程炸药
,
萨隆邪铁炸弹
, and
奥术炸弹
.
Jewelcrafting
Jewelcrafting's boons are twofold: first, only a few professions offer bonuses to Intellect and/or Haste, and Jewelcrafting is one of them. You'll be able to replace three of your regular gems with
闪耀龙眼石
or
迅捷龙眼石
, which is a significant buff over the standard gems.
Secondly, you will get a very cheap, very powerful trinket in
雕像 - 蓝宝石猫头鹰
. Despite the low item level and rather unassuming stats of the item, this trinket is deceptively powerful and essentially makes it into your regular rotation of trinkets from hitting 80 all the way up to Trial of the Crusader in T9 (or even through T9 if you're unlucky with a trinket drop in T8). Without this trinket, you are significantly more hampered for options in the trinket slots in WotLK, especially if you do not have the gold to purchase

What about the lvl 60 mount? Isn't it a learnable spell in WotLK? (I don't know in pre-patch)
