AS HOLY PALADIN LIGHTSMITH – MIDNIGHT SEASON 2
MYTHIC+ – MAIN / HEAVY V2 / DPS-MANA
Hi everyone,
Here is the latest version of my Lightsmith Holy Paladin Mythic+ setup.
I’ve been testing this through +10, +11 and +12 keys and have made a few changes based on logs and how the macros actually feel during higher keys.
The setup now uses THREE separate GSE sequences:
- MAIN – normal healing
- HEAVY V3 – emergency / high group damage Updated 7/10/26
- DPS/MANA – safe periods, damage and mana recovery
Holy Light is deliberately NOT automated in HEAVY V2 anymore.
HOW I USE THE MACROS
MAIN
This is the button I spend most of the dungeon pressing.
Use MAIN for normal healing and general group maintenance.
It handles the core healing rotation including Holy Shock, Word of Glory, Beacon of Virtue, Flash of Light, Judgment and Holy Armaments.
When damage is manageable, stay on MAIN.
HEAVY V2
When several health bars suddenly start dropping, switch to HEAVY V2.
I normally use HEAVY for a short burst to recover the group and then go back to MAIN once everyone is stable.
V2 is deliberately weighted towards:
Holy Shock
Word of Glory
Flash of Light
Beacon of Virtue
It is designed as an emergency accelerator rather than something I spam for the whole dungeon.
I have removed Holy Light from HEAVY V2.
This has made HEAVY feel considerably quicker during dangerous AoE because the sequence isn’t getting held up by repeated Holy Light casts.
HOLY LIGHT – MANUAL
Holy Light now has its own manual keybind.
This becomes even more useful with the Season 2 4-piece.
I don’t want GSE blindly casting Holy Light because it is expensive and the 4-set increases its mana cost.
Instead I use Holy Light manually when I deliberately want the cast / Infusion interaction and I have time to get the cast off.
Then I go back into MAIN or HEAVY.
So:
Normal damage = MAIN
Big group damage = HEAVY V2
Group recovered = MAIN
Safe / low healing period = DPS/MANA
Holy Light = MANUAL
I also keep major cooldowns such as Wings under manual control.

CURRENT TESTING
I’ve now been using the setup in +12 keys.
One recent Altar of Fangs +12 had:
Holy Shock – 36.4m healing
Word of Glory – 35.0m
Beacon of Light – 30.9m
Holy Bulwark – 26.0m
Flash of Light – 21.6m
Holy Shock was running at around 12.4 casts per minute and WoG around 7.5/min.
HEAVY V2 is feeling much better during sudden group damage than the older version.
I’m currently around 19% Haste and have now picked up the Season 2 4-piece, so I’m continuing to test it in +12s before changing the sequences again.
HOLY ARMAMENTS
There is currently an intermittent issue I’ve experienced with Holy Armaments and GSE where Sacred Weapon / Holy Bulwark can occasionally stop firing through the sequence after certain spec/talent/dungeon state changes.
When working correctly they are extremely important – Holy Bulwark was around 26m healing in my recent +12.
I’m continuing to test this rather than changing the healing rotation around the bug.
If you experience the same thing, please let me know your GSE version and what happened immediately before it stopped working.
FEEDBACK
If you test this, I’d really appreciate:
Key level
Item level
Haste %
GSE repeat/MS
Whether MAIN feels smooth
Whether HEAVY V2 recovers the group quickly
Mana problems
Any Holy Armament issues
Logs if possible
The higher the key the more useful the feedback is.
I’m a Ret player originally and Holy is my off-spec, so the whole aim of this project has been to make Holy Paladin approachable and fun while still being capable of pushing decent Mythic+ keys.
Massive thank you to Druss, Ricore, Zan and Orbalisk.
Their work is what originally got me into using GSE/macros and made the game a lot more fun for me.
Thanks as well to everyone testing this and sending feedback.
