How to play this beta version
- Position so you can heal without remaining in enemy melee range.
- Use Voice of Truth for a casting window and Holy Shock when movement prevents a cast.
- Coordinate Freedom, stuns and direct healing with your teammate rather than treating every cooldown as personal damage.
What changes from the 51-point build?
- Light's Vigil is unavailable at this budget.
- Purify handles poison and disease; Cleanse and its magic dispel arrive later.
The dungeon Holy variant adds another Illumination rank and takes Purifying Power when protected casting is less important than sustained resource use.
Why this beta talent split?
The selected Holy talents keep Holy Shock with protected casting and recovery tools. Protection offers armor or later blessing support, and Retribution offers instant-spell savings; neither early-tree dip replaces the lost Holy Shock heal.

How to play Holy Paladin PvP
Position where you can heal teammates and move behind cover before enemy interrupts land. Use Flash of Light for manageable damage and Holy Light when more healing is needed. Divine Favor can guarantee a critical Holy Shock heal for an emergency. Light's Vigil prepares a target for a follow-up Holy Shock that can heal their party. Use Cleanse and Purify on allies; Purifying Power makes those spells cheaper and does not grant an offensive enemy-buff dispel.

Why Holy Paladin PvP takes these talents
Illumination requires Reverence and returns Mana after qualifying critical heals. Infusion of Light reduces the cast time of a later Holy Light following Holy Shock or Flash of Light crits. Light's Vigil requires Holy Shock, and Holy Power increases spell crit chance. Toughness and Anticipation add defensive value, but positioning and help against interrupts remain essential.
