However, an upside I see to this is that 10m raids with two pally healers will ALSO a viable option in Cata. Before, unless your pallys had mad haste, having only pally heals would have been severely inadequate. There’s a downside to this, too: now I have to share my caster plate drops. What’s wrong with being the only person in a raid that can use something for MS?

1. Holy Light - 6% mana (Cata) versus 29% (LK)
2. Flash of Light - 27% mana (Cata) versus 7% (LK)
3. Holy Shock - 8% mana (Cata) versus 18% (LK)

New Spells:

1. Light of Dawn (healing spell in a cone effect) - 21% mana
2. Divine Light - 30% mana, same casting time than Holy Light
3. Healing Hands (aoe healing spell) - 40%
4. Word of Glory - Consume Holy Power gain through Holy Shock System

Healing hands should be saved for fight with raid damage like Queen in ICC.

Spamming Holy Light through out the fight instead of FoL. Notice that holy light is less expensive than FoL in LK (6% versus 7%)

Cast Holy Shock whenever it’s up. You need the Holy Power to increase your healing, to use Word of Glory and because some talents increase the effect of HS and give some nice bonus to other spell.

Light of Dawn - OP spell when you need to heal melee group in front of you (including tank).

Résumé: right now, you spam FoL and HL at high pick dmg. In cataclysm, replace the FoL by HL and HL by Divine Light.

Flash of Light, a fast spell to be used when HShock is down.

AND…PALLY WILL REMAIN OP!

PS: SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH!

1. Will there still be a division into FoL healers and HL healers, or is it going to get all “mixed up” with the addition of the new spells

2. How mana efficient is “healing hands” is it meant to be kept up at all times or just for special cases

3. Will there finally be a proper non pvp libram for FoL healers

4. They say FuL will be less mana efficient but who much so

I currently like the fact that each class isn’t versatile. Can we really get 10 paladins in a 10m raid and now be successful? bring the player not the class….

So in Cata - bad players won’t see content and won’t get picked for groups.
Those poor bad players, no more being carried through content. Like i used to not mind carrying a shaman in raid if we had none for heroism. or carrying a boomkin for their aura etc..
They benefit the rest of the raid so everyone else does more dmg/healing. Even if they are a poor player, they still support everyone else.

I’m also not sure about the new idea of reactive healing instead of spamming heals the entire fight. I’ll have to wait and see what it’s like before I can comment.

Ive also read on other forums about mana regen problems on holy pallys well i think your playing your toon wrong. For the most part i end fights with beter then half of my 35k mana pool. Maybe its because i took the time to get a small arena rating and picked up the flash of light libram mmmm something that wasn’t hard to do and now im no so dependent on holy light as some other pallys are thats only there for post big hits.

Maybe i should see abut making a website on how to heal in ICC if notice there is alot of time where one of the tanks is not taking any damage so there is your opportunity to beacon the targeted tank sacred shield them pop your flash to create your hot then help raid heal until its time for the tanks to swap then set everything up for the other tank and go back to helping your raid healer out. Also you can pop sacred shield on a target then flash to create your hot then move to the next player and do the same ive had as many as 6 hots rolling at one time so instead of changing the class ppl just need to get more creative with there playing.

Sure ill get yelled at by many for this post if its allowed to stay up but ohhh well i love my pally and everything he can do and do not want to see him changed.
