Last week, I posted getting +10 across the board as Protection Paladin, and someone suggested I try healing and DPS as well.
Wow—coming from Mistweaver, Holy Paladin straight up SUCKS!
Cons:
- You live/die by timing Beacon of Virtue.
- Cooldowns feel mandatory just to deal with ticking damage, like Void Rush, on trash.
- The builder-spender playstyle sometimes leaves me with no heals for several seconds - probably a skill issue - not smooth gameplay.
- So many dead talents—healing for just 1% of overall… ???
- Also healer damage is so low for a class that is constantly attacking to generate Holy Power.

Sounds about right! Holy paladin life 
I second that notion we do have way too many moves that heal for basically nothing.
Yeah man … I tried doing the chemical co encounter on my hpal , ilvl 600. It’s a holiday encounter how hard can it be?
Everyone died multiple times and I felt like I was just tickling peoples health bars the whole time.
Pretty lights indeed but wow … it’s hard … you gotta be right there in combat racking up holy power like your life depends on to do any kind of real healing.
Mistweaver is just so much more relaxing. You have on demand power heals if you need them. You can do damage but if you don’t your whole party isnt gonna die.
Also r sham, we have good powerful heals. I keep hearing about these great single target
Heals from holy pal but I’ve yet to see one
Soothing mist plus enveloping mist plus vivify is just so much better.
Comparing it to MW, one of the currently better designed healers atm, its simply not fair. Jokes aside, yeah pretty much.
And this is the result of 2 reworks in 4 seasons, let that sink in.
Feast or Famine playstyle. No real Aoe other virtue, broken mana economy for herald, bad dps since SotR does virtually 0 dps, LS being dependant on a lot of fluff abilities and rng gimmicks, bad spot healing, useless casts that also feel out of place in our playstyle, oh you reminded me, the mess they did with the class tree and the spec tree as well…
Even in PTR with a 40% HS buff and 15% spender buff the class still feels like it needs retuning to work properly compared to half the other healers.

Ok so I wasn’t crazy then … it is probably the hardest healer at the moment, becuase it really functions nothing like other healers lol.

Idk if it might the hardest, probably prevoker its still harder? haven’t played it in some months and didn’t play it till high keys tbh.
I do think its currently harder than other often considered ‘hard’ healers like Disc or RDruid (Rdruid to me has always felt like a joke with how easy it is compared to what most people say imo and this nowadays its pretty straigh forward in m+).
