'''Holy Power''' is a new [[paladin]] resource mechanic in ''[[Cataclysm]]'', which works similar to the [[Rogue]]'s [[Combo point]]s. Holy Power can be gained through certain spell and talents, and is used for casting other spells.

When fighting, paladins will generally want to build up Holy Power by using their abilities. Once Holy Power has been built up, it can be consumed to augment specific Holy Power-based spells. For example, [[Word of Glory]] (which is one of them) can be used to cast an instant-cast and mana-free heal. Common to all these spells is that they consume ''all'' the Holy Power the paladin currently possesses, increasing in power depending on the amount consumed. Depending on the paladin's specialization and the scenario, this mechanic gives paladins several options for how to spend their Holy Power.

Revision as of 14:59, 4 January 2011

For the former paladin talent, see Spell holy power [Holy Power].

Holy Power is a new paladin resource mechanic in Cataclysm, which works similar to the Rogue's Combo points. Holy Power can be gained through certain spell and talents, and is used for casting other spells.

When fighting, paladins will generally want to build up Holy Power by using their abilities. Once Holy Power has been built up, it can be consumed to augment specific Holy Power-based spells. For example, Inv helmet 96 [Word of Glory] (which is one of them) can be used to cast an instant-cast and mana-free heal. Common to all these spells is that they consume all the Holy Power the paladin currently possesses, increasing in power depending on the amount consumed. Depending on the paladin's specialization and the scenario, this mechanic gives paladins several options for how to spend their Holy Power.

Notes
  • Holy Power becomes available for Paladins at level 9, prior to learning Word of Glory.
  • As vaguely mentioned, Holy Power exists as charges. It is possible to have 3 charges at a time.
  • Unlike a Rogue's Combo points, Holy Power appears in a "Holy bar" below the paladin's portrait (see picture). This makes it similar to a Death Knight's Rune system.
  • The spells using Holy Power doesn't need to be used on the same target the spells generating it were used on.
  • Holy Power decays over time when not in combat. It must therefore be spent quickly before it's wasted. It decays approximately 10 seconds after leaving combat, one charge at a time. This means that a paladin with 3 charges will lose 1 charge after 10 seconds, another charge after 20 seconds, and the last charge after 30 seconds.
