Tips and Tactics
- Holy Shock is a unique instant cast spell, obtained through the Holy tree. It can be used either as a "clutch" heal or a powerful "nuke" spell. It is one of the last talents in this tree, so prepare for a serious commitment to get this. You can use it with [Divine Favor] to gain 100% critical chance. Note that the [Illumination] talent will refund 60% of the mana cost of the spell when a critical heal is obtained, but not when the spell is used offensively.
- It is slightly less mana efficient than Holy Light and so should only be used when an instant cast is essential or you risk burning your mana too fast. [Flash of Light] is the most mana efficient Paladin healing spell.
- It may look useful for pulling. However, properly specced Protection paladin tanks can rarely spend so many points into Holy tree to get it.
- As a spell from the Holy School, using it offensively with [Righteous Fury] can generate needed aggro when off-tanking as a Holy paladin. A quick jolt of holy energy with at least 160% aggro generation will grab attention. Again, normally Protection paladin tanks do not have it.
Origin
This ability was present in Warcraft 3 under the name of "Holy Light" and was available to paladin heroes.
