What the beta added on September 17. The Holy tree is unchanged from the demo at level 10. Holy Light is 40 yards. Ranks exist and cost differently (one screenshot showed 35 and 60 mana for two ranks of a heal), so downranking survives, though one person expects Blizzard to reduce the healing power scaling of downranked spells and another points out paladins never downranked Flash of Light anyway. The Light’s Vigil tooltip from the beta files reads 1,340 mana, against 730 on the demo screenshot; “there’s no way that’s worth 1,300 mana” was the reaction, and “how did they not clean up the wording”. A cooldown manager exists as an option in the default UI. At level 2 the game handed one tester a heal that vanished on relog, which looks like a bug.

The Shock doesn’t trigger its cooldown and the target’s whole party is healed for about 315 to 333 at rank 1. One Vigil per paladin per party, 30-second duration, a 6-second cooldown on applying it. You can pre-load one in each party and chain four Shocks. The application itself heals nothing; the Vigil heal is the party heal, and it can crit.

The September 16 read across three channels: it is an outlier among every class’s new talents and “definitely getting nerfed to be just damage and not healing” (several). Nobody could answer how removing the healing half would hurt Ret, the tree it lives in.

Consensus One person ran Era gear through a vanilla sim prioritizing Intellect and spell damage and got 742 spell power, 354 Intellect and 161 from Judgement of the Crusader, or 1,257 holy damage with world buffs off. Another expects a rank 7 Holy Light to hit “a little under 2,000” fully raid buffed with the talent at 3/3, and that to be the go-to rank. Both are napkin math. One person A Shockadin with a video pending says the talent beats Light’s Vigil for damage because Vigil’s cast clips auto attacks. “You can get like 250 holy spell damage at level 30” is the leveling pitch.

• Expect plate healing gear with Spirit; the channel expects to still want cloth and leather pieces.
• A Champion Healer wears Ret’s Strength and Intellect plate; the Ret channel’s read is that Holy “can just wear Ret Intellect and Strength gear and do everything”. One person who watched the demo closely saw mostly spell power and Strength plate with little Intellect, a small sample, though an epic two-hander with Strength, Intellect and spell power was shown.

Links are in Sources.
• New enchanting formulas, blacksmithing plans and cooking recipes tied to the Azeroth Commerce Authority faction were found on demo vendors. The blacksmithing plans include an Intellect and healing plate set; “six golden pearls” per piece is the price of leveling gear. One person read a new Intellect flask and would still use a mana potion over it, and the channel agreed flask plus battle plus guardian elixirs is a TBC rule, not a vanilla one.
• Consumables and the loss of world buffs are expected to change how raids and healers approach fights, “no more semi-hardcore”.

For: it’s efficient in globals. Vigil plus Shock is two globals for a party where Flash of Light takes five; with setup, four groups in four globals.

It’s the only paladin tool for scripted party damage, and the tank’s party is its natural home. Priests need ten globals to shield two groups; a paladin needs four. Several like that it is “a nice change from chain casting Holy Light”.

Pre-loading it on several groups is only worth it when you know damage is coming; on fights where AoE damage comes from failed mechanics you cannot plan it, so “there are very few valid scenarios to precast it”. Reactively, a Wild Growth is often already on the group, so you either snipe it or waste your window.

Several would rather it were its own spell with its own trigger; one Shockadin adds that its 1.5-second cast costs auto-attack damage.

Comparison the channel drew: Prayer of Healing is a 3-second cast with no cooldown, Chain Heal 2.5 seconds with no cooldown, Light’s Vigil 1.5 seconds plus a 6-second cooldown, Wild Growth instant on a 6-second cooldown with a 1-second druid global. Wild Growth does most of its healing in about 1.5 seconds, so it wins any race to a group.

Where the channel landed: two uses, pre-planned for known windows or reactive for one group, and a burst cooldown rather than a rotation. Good in 5-man dungeons where one Vigil is a full-group heal. Several expect it to gain a second interaction (librams, or an effect if it expires unconsumed) because as written the reactive case is weak. One person

September 17 additions. The beta tooltip’s 1,340 mana cost made the mana argument worse: one healer’s fear is being too scared to refresh a Vigil before it runs out, watching the mana go to waste, then scrambling to recast it when group damage arrives and ending up out of mana, “back to TBC spamming rank 1 Flash of Light”. A cheaper recast on a target that already has Vigil was the fix asked for. “It is a capstone talent with 0 effect on cast, bad design” got a reply that Beacon of Light was the same, and the Beacon argument started again. Nobody can test any of it in a 30-cap beta; one person notes 35 with Legacy points would be enough, and several want to say so in feedback. The idea that items could modify Vigil (say, half your Holy Light also lands on the Vigil target while it is up) came back as the way to give it texture without copying Beacon.

Vigil for damage.

The tooltip has no target cap on the heal, so a premade of Holy paladins all Vigiling an Arathi Basin flag fight is the cheese someone expects. Whether the damage part hits more than one target was argued again; the tooltip says single target.

• Beacon of Light. A few people want it as the capstone or a trainer spell at 40; most say it does not belong in this version, it would go to every spec if trained, and Blizzard is not adding it. Alternatives floated: Eternal Flame, Word of Glory, “Sunlight the sword” style horizontal items. One person’s framing: Light’s Vigil leaves more room for librams and horizontal progression than a single defining spell would. One person The channel’s own summary: “we have played the beacon game already.”

Now the majority expectation. The counter remains that if Holy players feel forced into 28 Ret points, the Holy tree is what is broken.
• Raid versus 5-man split. 23/0/28 for raid tank healing, deep Holy with Light’s Vigil for dungeons is the working assumption, not a measured result. Consensus
• Raid spots. “Holy paladin seems sad compared to the others so far” (several); people will take resto shamans, priests and druids first. Counter: single-target tank healing is every fight, Blizzard said Holy is meant to be the best at it, and if it isn’t they will buff it. A related worry: if Prot or Ret turn out to be better additions, an optimized raid brings few Holy paladins.
• Design dissonance. Blizzard wants paladins to be the worst group healer, then gave them a group-heal capstone. Some call that fixing a hole in the toolkit; others call it a capstone for the thing you are supposed to be bad at.

• Set bonuses. “Set bonuses should amplify the playstyle, not change it” (one) versus “interesting bonuses that change how I play, yes; bonuses that just make me stronger, no” (another). A third says glyph-style shoulder enchants, as in Season of Discovery, are the right place for playstyle changes. Everyone agrees the datamined ones are dull and probably placeholders.
• Feel versus numbers. “The tuning of specs and spells doesn’t matter at all, all that matters is how the class feels and plays” got four agreements; the reply is that you cannot give feedback on a level 40 talent in a level 30 beta.
