[Paladin] Holy Solo DPS

#1 - April 17, 2012, 2:01 p.m.

So Ive been trying to lvl got to 86, But solo questing seems REALLLY slow. I play as holy and now since Exorcism, Hammer of Wrath and Consecration have been taken away from holy it takes forever to kill one mob. Our choices now for Holy dps is Denounce (8-9k dmg), Crusader Strike (2-2.5k dmg), Holy Shock (8k dmg), Judgment (Doesnt work cause of 25 day CD). Having to spam Denounce with Holy shock really drains on mana. I burn about 1/2 my mana atm killing one quest mob. Not having the mana regen from judgement is im sure contributing to that. All Im saying is Holy could use some dps boost for solo questing.

Now I know Im going to get responses saying go lvl as ret or prot. But those are both bugged atm too without the use of Judgement. Plus I enjoy Holy.

Please Blizzard, fix Judgement so we can properly test our class.

We don't want Holy to be a DPS spec, but we do want Holy paladins to be able to do reasonable damage when solo, to keep up pressure in PvP, or when grouped in moments when healing isn't critical. Holy Shock and Denounce are supposed to provide that damage, but their numbers are abysmally weak at the moment. We will fix.

The above is relevant to all healer specs mind you.
