If the fight calls for nature resist, you will need a shaman or hunter in the group. However if you find yourself in a fight where more magical damage is done, it can be beneficial to switch to either frost, fire or shadow depending on the type of damage. However if there is a paladin tank in the group, devo is usually used by them so switch to Ret or Conc at this point. Usually, Retribution and Conc aura are not necessary as retribution only marginally helps with the tank's threat and casters should not be getting hit often to justify Conc aura being up.

You can even spec into Improved Devo as there will definitely not be a tree in your 5 man heroic group. Generally, I like to have Devo up as it will mitigate the amount of physical damage a tank takes. Another option for consumables are fo od buf fs for mana regen. If you still are running on fumes, try to stock up on consumables like mana pots or use a fla sk/ el ix ir in dungeons. I especially like using Divine Illumination when I have to HL bomb and Light's Grace is already up. Using Divine Illumination often and when you need to refresh Beacon will help you use less mana. The best thing about Arcane Torrent is that it scales with total mana so the more gear you get (and thus, int), the more Arcane Torrent will give back. Another consideration is the fact that Avenging Wrath is on a 2 min CD so you can't pop it for every single DP usage assuming you leave it off CD.įor Horde as belf pallies, besides DP, we get Arcane Torrent as additional regen. Keep in mind that means you won't be able to bubble for 30 seconds after you do so, making you vulnerable in that time period. Another option is to pop Avenging Wrath with Divine Plea. Keep in mind that DP has an MS effect (50% healing debuff), so you can try to mitigate that by either popping on-use trinkets that give you more SP or timing usage when your trinket procs if it is a random proc trinket.Īs a newly dinged 80, it is normal not to have those trinkets available to offset the healing done. Pop it even when you are at 90% mana, especially if you are currently using a lot of mana (i.e.

Don't wait when you are at 50% mana to use it. Odds are at your paladin's point of development as a fresh 80, you will need to Divine Plea every 1 minute.
