Playstyle

Single-target-focused healer built around Holy Shock, filled with Flash of Light, spending Holy Power on Eternal Flame in Mythic+ or Light of Dawn in raid. A decade-plus raid staple thanks to consistently excellent single-target throughput and some of the best defensive/mechanic-mitigation utility in the game (Blessing of Freedom, Blessing of Protection, Divine Shield).

+ The Good

Devotion Aura plus "some of the best utility in the game"

Consistently strong single-target healing/survivability

− The Bad

Mobility lags behind other healers

Divine Steed's cooldown limits can leave it exposed when a fight demands frequent repositioning

Contributing raid damage means diverting Holy Power and cooldowns away from healing

Hero talents

Herald of the Sun

Boosts Holy Shock and swaps Word of Glory for Eternal Flame (a heal plus a small HoT), with Dawnlight beams adding passive group healing. Currently the higher-throughput, go-to choice in both raid and Mythic+.

Lightsmith

Strengthens group defense through Holy Bulwark/Sacred Weapon and generates extra Infusion of Light procs for spot healing. Solid, but currently trails Herald of the Sun on raw throughput.
