Curated for raid healing — Aura Mastery timed to unavoidable raid-wide damage, Avenging Wrath aligned with other healer cooldowns, and Blessing of Sacrifice coordination on players taking heavy targeted hits. Reviewed 28 Jun 2026.
Recommended raid build — Herald of the Sun with Dawnlight burst healing aligned to Avenging Wrath. The default choice for most raid encounters and the build used by the majority of top Holy Paladins.
Alternative raid build — Lightsmith with Avenging Crusader converting your Avenging Wrath into a healing cooldown that generates Holy Power on damage dealt. Strong on fights where you can maintain melee uptime on the boss.

Boss timers tell you the exact moment to activate Aura Mastery before the biggest unavoidable raid-wide hit rather than reacting after damage lands. Avenging Wrath windows are also more valuable when timed to high-damage boss phases rather than burned on cooldown.

As a healer your eyes are mostly on raid frames rather than the floor — the audio alert fires before ground damage accumulates so you can sidestep without breaking your current cast or losing track of who needs healing. Install knowing it's significantly more limited than pre-Midnight — it covers specific tracked boss mechanics only, not general ground effects.

Per-spell healing breakdown — for Holy Paladin, the Beacon of Light contribution column is the key metric, which should account for 15–25% of your total healing as a passive mirror of your direct heals. Overheal on Word of Glory also shows whether you're spending Holy Power too early instead of holding for higher-priority targets.

Healer-focused healing frames with built-in click-casting — bind Holy Shock to left-click and Word of Glory to right-click so every GCD is a mouse click on the lowest-health frame without tab-targeting. Also shows Beacon of Light status on the current bearer's frame and flags Cleanse-able magic debuffs with a coloured border.

Compact, modular healing frames — pair with Clicked for mouseover heal bindings since Grid2 has no built-in click-casting. For Holy Paladin, can display Beacon of Light status, Sacred Shield presence, and Cleanse-able debuffs as coloured frame indicators on each frame.

For Holy Paladin specifically, VuhDo handles healing frames better with built-in Beacon of Light tracking, Dominos covers action bars, and Clicked handles click-casting for Grid2 users — all with less setup overhead.

Cast bars and debuff icons on enemy nameplates — shows which enemy is casting something dangerous and when it will land, so you can queue Word of Glory on the target before the hit rather than after. Knowing what is incoming also helps you time Aura Mastery against the biggest hits instead of spending it reactively.

Visual and audio alert when a dangerous ability targets you specifically, giving you the reaction window to Divine Shield, Blessing of Protection, or Lay on Hands before the hit lands. Losing the healer mid-pull to a targeted mechanic is one of the most avoidable wipes — this addon closes that gap.

Tracks group cooldowns from the combat log — for Holy Paladin, primary use is knowing when personal defensives across the group have been spent so you can judge when Aura Mastery needs to land now rather than waiting. Also tracks Blessing of Sacrifice timing so your externals land on the player taking the most incoming pressure rather than whoever you happen to be targeting.

Provides a large, repositionable Holy Power display with configurable colour that you can park next to your healing frames — the default UI shows Holy Power as small orbs that are easy to lose track of under pressure. At 3+ Holy Power Word of Glory becomes more efficient than holding; having the count immediately visible closes the decision delay.

Adds every player's Mythic+ score and raid progression to their tooltip.
