HOLY PALADIN – HERALD OF THE SUN – M+ / RAID – BETA

After working on the Lightsmith macros I’ve also been testing a separate Herald of the Sun setup.

This originally started as a raid setup, but I decided to try it in Mythic+ and the first run was surprisingly good.

FIRST M+ TEST

+10 Murder Row
+2 timed
0 deaths

More importantly, it felt noticeably easier and less stressful to heal than my Lightsmith setup.

The first log showed:

Holy Shock – 14.5 casts/min
Flash of Light – 8.3 casts/min
Eternal Flame – 6.6 casts/min
Light of Dawn – 2.6 casts/min
Divine Toll – 0.6 casts/min

Eternal Flame had around 95% uptime.

This is still early testing, so I’m not claiming Herald is better than Lightsmith yet. I’m going to start pushing it into +12/+13 and see how it performs.

There are three macros:

MAIN
Normal healing and the macro I spend most of my time running.

BURST
For heavy group/raid damage.

This includes Beacon of Virtue + Divine Toll to give much stronger immediate recovery when the group drops.

DPS
For safe periods where little healing is required.

I still keep the major cooldowns manual:

Wings – MANUAL
Aura Mastery – MANUAL
Holy Light – MANUAL

HOW I USE THEM

Normal healing:
MAIN

Heavy group damage / players dropping:
BURST

Once everyone is stable:
Back to MAIN

Safe period:
DPS

For predictable big damage I can also pre-cast Holy Light manually before moving into BURST.

This is currently a BETA and has only had limited M+ testing, so I’d really appreciate other people giving it a go before I make any major changes.

If you test it, please let me know:

• Key level
• Haste %
• How MAIN feels
• How BURST feels when the whole group drops
• Mana
• Whether Divine Toll is firing correctly
• Raid or M+
• Any logs if possible

I’m particularly interested in feedback from people who have also tried the Lightsmith version.

The first +10 was significantly less stressful for me personally, so I’m interested to see whether that continues as I push it into +12/+13.

Big thanks again to everyone who’s been testing the macros and providing logs and feedback.

i will try i tthe lightsmith one rocks but the herald is supposed to be better at healing output specifically

3

I have switched over to this pretty much for ally keys now I am on doing higher keys. I have also just made a raid version that I am testing at the moment and will post over the next few days. But this gives alot more output and feels smoother in keys for sure.

4

the one i downloaded says raid on it so i may have missed the other version but it is seeming to fire off better as well as actually popping burst correctly i love the lightsmith but i think this HOTS is just grades better thanks

5

Ignore the naming on it I originally wanted it to work for mythic plus and raid but quickly found out it needed its own macro for raiding. I’m pretty new to holy and putting the macros together so will keep the naming conventions cleaner on future uploads. Got a raid version of this coming this weekend and also a protection macro that I’m now pretty happy is working correctly.
