Holy Paladins - For Dummies

[Hammil]

Hello all, I have been browsing the site, its pretty nice. Like all the BG AFK spots
I cant find anything similar to what I'm about to say. So Enjoy.
___________________________________________________________________

If you are new to 70 on a paladin, you will be forced to pick a raid spec, unless your a PvPer, either Tank or Heals. Today I'm going to talk about heals.
________________________________________________________________
Professions:

Alchemy - This is a beauty to have in raids, you can supply elixers, if your low on mana you'll never run out of potions, and the best part, Alchemy Stone.
Since SSO has came out, a new line of Alchemists Stones have came out, Melee, Caster, Tanking, Healing. The mats are unbearable for these.
1x Alchemists Stone
2x Nether Vortex's (30 badges, or about 600g)
6x Primal Life

Enchanting - This is a very big pain to level, but once your at 375 you'll thank yourself you will get tips for clicking 3 things. But the main reason we will have it is for +healing ring enchant which you can only do to yourself. Also you wont be going "/2 LF Chanter to do x! PST"
________________________________________________________________
Okay now that we have to professions covered we will go on to basic raiding
add ons you'll need.
(Having trouble finding them? download WoWmatrix a program where you pick and choose addons - fast and easily. Find this at World of Warcraft AddOns & Mods :: WoW 2.4 Latest Downloads!

Healbot - An addon where it lists your group/raid in a box (which you can move and customize) All you do is set the spells to Left Click, middle click, and right click.

Omen - A basic raiding threat meter

Group Calendar - This isn't really for paladins specifically but it will help you get into guild raids / heroics.

Decursive - A compact group of boxes you click on to get rid of pesky little Debuffs.

Deadly Boss Mods (DBM) - Another one non-paladin specific but it will help you lead/pay attention to raid bosses
_________________________________________________________________
Okay all that are new to 70, heres just a little tip to you
1. Join a good guild
2. Sign up for simple raids/heroics in group calendar
3. Non-Plate gear isn't always so bad for healers, as long as a mojority of your gear is plate.
4. Don't keep tank always at Full Hp, they have high HP for a reason.

Ofc you keep a tank at 100% all the time, that's why healers are there. Holy Paladins are there for healing tanks.

Nice guide! well writen aswell

[sol82]

PALLYPOWER IS ALSO A MUST!

+rep for guide...although I'll never heal again

[Pietje]

As a HL paladin in t6 I often find myself healing high-damage taking raidmembers too. I can easily get to 2k HPS on Naj'entus (with righteous fury on (-6% damage) I overaggro the MT). I'm missing a lot of information, for example talent suggestions?

[heymish]

idd, talent suggestions would be nice. but anyone with a brain would just go to the high end raiding guilds paladins and look at the most favoured spec

[spikmun999]

Very nice guide

keeping the tank at full hp is one of the main jobs of a healer (esp. a paladin) they have high hp so they can take the huge crits and if u dont keep them at full they are gona drop to 60% then get crit for 8K and die then the wipe will be your fault.

[GarrettB]

not bad gives the basics,also arent holy pallies awesome in 2vs2?

[Nikentic]

Holy palies are best in 3v3 IMO. +rep for good guide, btw, i took you out of leecher, i think.

[edu]

thanks for guide, +rep

I know your point, but I can also see the one he's trying to make. If your tank is taking little damage, you don't want to overheal him, or be healing him for more than he needs, rather, thereby wasting mana and making you OOM faster for less utility.

Good guide though, +rep cookies.
