Hey guys,

Would totally like to see some info start to be thrown around about Holy Paladins. I have not had the time to do as much testing as I would like but I will definitely throw stuff on here as I dig through the talents this weekend. Just two quick mentions from the little bit of testing I was able to do last night.

Mobility - We are turtles! I have heard many classes (Dk most prominent) mention this issue. It seems like that may be the intention but mobility is definitely lacking vs the other healing classes.

Martyr - Crashing issue. Seems like that is well known though.

Overall healing a dungeon last night felt really good taking The Lightbringer talent. Seems like I was able to keep the group alive very well (when not blowing up due to crashes). I worry about how our raid healing is going to perform alongside other healers slightly but in general it feels really good in 5 mans!

Going to add talent variations and healing logs of dungeons as I test this weekend but if anyone else has done any testing please post! Would love to start doing some reading about how The Silver Hand wielding community is feeling!

Side note... LOVE that our artifact weapon is on our backs.... Was really hoping that was going to be the case. 10/10 Blizzard ;)

Light of the Martyr's cost (mana) is currently higher than intended, which should be fixed in the next build. That should make the spell more attractive to start experimenting with and finding a role for in your playstyle. While a raw computation of net healing per mana will still make it appear below average, it will be much less so than it is now, and its other advantages should be more relevant: being a spammable instant, being able to focus higher throughput into one target, helping with mobility, synergizing with abilities such as Avenging Wrath, and the fact that self-damage varies in importance based on the situation.
