    Holy Light Vs Flash of Light

    Which is better in general, Trying to figure out if I want to continue Spamming Fol or if there is any advantage to being a Holy light user instead.

    Of course in the end I would like to have 2 separate sets of gear so I can swap to w/e is better in the current raid content and individual Boss fights though right now I am fairly ungeared and plan on getting the t9 with tokens.

    /captain.toggle on
    you can use both HL and FoL at the same time without respec or re-gearing.
    /captain.toggle off
    your gear must be for mana conserving.
    in raid you must use HL when you need big heal (or aoe heal through glyph) and FoL/shock when you need fast heal or when you can save your raid without switching to HL.

    Depending on how undergeared you are it may not be possible to cast lots of HL, but that is certainly preferred.

    you can use both HL and FoL at the same time without respec or re-gearing.
    I think people who argue for end-game FoL actually do gear towards spellpower and crit while maintaining only the haste soft-cap. I do agree though that casting two different heals appropriate to the situation is not over-complicated.

    Holy = Godly, Divine.
    Flash = Small, simple.

    Since 15 threads at the front page about this topic are not enough, some paladin religion might work.

    What?!? I thought the point of being a good paladin was to make everyone else complain about how OP we are.

    Depends on your gear, and your preference in my opinion.

    I still think Holy Light is more fun, managing your mana correctly makes encounters a bit more entertaining, at least to me.

    Re: Holy Light Vs Flash of Light

    I use Flash of Light for easier content, but Holy Light in case I need a big heal.
    If I need a big and fast heal I use a macro:
    #showtooltip
    /castsequence reset=4 Holy Light, Divine Favor, Holy Shock, Holy Light

    what it does is that the first Holy Light applies the Light's Grace talent, making it 2 seconds instead of 2.5 seconds. The Divine Favor + Holy Shock combo activates the Infusion of Light talent, therefore it has a 20% extra crit chance.

    So the last Holy Light ends up being: 0.5 seconds faster AND have 20% extra crit chance!

    I don't post that often, and when I do it's often in bursts. I always lurk though.
