I would recommend skipping this talent and putting the needed 11 points towards kings, going 40/11

Comment by Alterna

Macro this talent with Ausele's Light Channeler and you have a very low cost big heal.

Comment by Leno

Does this reduce the LoH cost to 50% mana instead of 100%?

Comment by squirrelybread

For PvP, I find this talent is a must have against Shadow Priests w/Imp. Mana Burn.

Comment by Choobman

This doesn't only take half the mana off heals, on fights where you need to kill something quick, but still keep up high mana efficiency, like Leotheras, you can use this to knock a huge chunk of mana off exorcism or consecration. Both of those like to take all the mana you need to keep people alive for a little dps.

Comment by Lionsprey

Uses i have found for this talant so far is
1 when the dps in a low lvl instance decides they are better tanks then the tanks and wont let the tank get aggro back and you need to spam holy light on them to make sure they live do make note this would only happen if you are in a good mod and decide to heal the idiot
2 if you are playing a bg and a warrior ( or any other class that can take a punch) is being pummeld by melee enemys such as rogues and you can keep him alive by spamming holy light on him for a longer time until backup arrives ( or the attackers sees you)

Comment by Zaan3

it's also gon become a discipline priest talent, healadins & priests get to share the exact same talent, yet warriors, death knights & paladins don't get similar versions of Vengeance >.>

Comment by URanu5

I have a Question actually for this... Who thinks this talent is good for PvP? i do but have sum doubts....

Comment by Zannat

I've found this handy for the few peeps who lvl Holy. It's useful to lay down some consecrate and spam w/e few attacks holy has. (well just that and holy shock) It's nice to be able to use this every 3min to conserve the mana while dpsing. Great with seal of wisdom (even tho its judgement does minimal dmg) or judgeing wisdom.

Comment by Tastidian

Apparently, as of Cataclysm, it's being changed. Now it grants 30% crit chance to all spells and attacks. Strange it's for attacks as well. There was a talent for healing a Beaconed target with damage from a Judgement. Perhaps it's to boost that?
As for healing, we'll be critting a lot more. Roughly 40% crit for me, so a 70% chance to crit and get mana back doesn't sound too bad.

Edit: Now, it seems it increases casting speed and crit chance. Better than an instant one-time crit, imo.

Comment by valkemen

It is Paladin's new, personal, mini-Heroism (Bloodlust) ;)

Comment by langley85

What does the icon depict? It doesn't look like a Divine Favor to me... I better not say what it looks like to me :S

Comment by elitest

Since there doesn't seem to be a lot of up to date info for Holy Paladins circa MoP here are my thoughts.

Here are a list of raid healing cooldowns for Holy Paladins as of the writing of this comment:

Avenging Wrath This is a throughput CD - usable every 3 minutes - Off GCD
Avenging Wrath This is a throughput CD - usable every 3 minutes
Lay on Hands Emergency heal for one target - most fights only usable once
Increases single target heals and increases haste - usable every 5 minutes
Holy Avenger This helps you generate more Holy Power quicker - usable every 2 minutes - Off GCD. Note: most guides and builds reccomend Divine Purpose. Use if you need more burst and/or dislike the unpredictability of Divine Purpose. Honestly I have done some testing with this talent and find it a bit clumsy to use.

Now that we have listed them do you notice anything? Most fights these days are tuned to coincide with high amounts of raid damage going out every approx. 1.5 or 3 minutes requiring coordination and cycling of cooldowns between the 2-3 healers in a 10-man group. Lay on Hands is a great emergency heal and a signature spell in the paladin aresenal. Guardian of Ancient Kings is a tricky spell to master but only help minimally with dealing with raid wide healing and imo is clumsy for accomplishing this task. The other 3 spells listed are all throughput cooldowns which will increase healing done by you, but they will also make you spend mana quicker.

So what is missing? Well let us take a look at what other healers have available to them.

Holy Priests: Divine Hymn - Big AoE heal, relatively low mana cost - usable every 3 minutes. Must be channeled. 18900 mana@90
Resto Druids: Tranquility - Big AoE heal, relatively low mana cost - usable every 3 minutes as Resto. Must be channeled. 20325 mana@90
Shamans: Healing Tide Totem - Big AoE heal, relatively low mana cost - usable every 3 minutes. Instant cast. 24000 mana@90
Monks: Revival - Big AoE heal, relatively low mana cost - usable every 3 minutes. Instant cast. 23100 mana@90

Discipline priests don't have a spell quite like any of these either but they have Power Word: Barrier which fits into their role as damage preventers. 18900 mana@90

To put this in context, Holy Radiance the most reliable AoE heal that paladins have, costs 27000 mana@90 to cast once. It is a good heal. Generates Holy Power. 10 yard range from the target. Absolutely amazing for stacked fights. When the group is spread out, it becomes a very effective way to generate holy power, spend mana and little else. We have the Daybreak proc, Light of Dawn and tier 90 talents that also provide AoE healing, but getting Daybreak requires casting Holy Radiance, Light of Dawn requires Holy Power, which is more difficult/expensive to gain when spread out and the talents are 15/60 second cds.

I understand Paladins are historically thought of as tank healers, and to some extent they still are probably the best at it, but if we are also expected to heal raids during times of increased damage we should be given the appropriate tools to do so. In my opinion Paladins should either have a better mana regen mechanic than meleeing bosses(which is not feasible in many situations) and/or buff divine plea, or they should be given a 3 minute CD that helps dealing with raid damage without burning mana. MoP and Cata have brought more homogenization between all of the tank classes and between the rdps classes and mdps classes and that is fine. They all bring something unique enough to be a lot of fun. I just don't understand why we have 4 specs that are "raid heals" and 2 specs that are "tank heals". If Blizzard was really serious about the whole "Bring the player not the class" thing they should think about fixing this.

It has a new graphic as of 5.4, I'm not sure when it was added. Now when you cast it a little book appears above your head. Pretty unique.
