Help to improve healing

[Xelah]

Hello, I'm trying to improve my healing, rotation and logs score.
My numbers are very low after the boss combat (raid). With my ilvl (613) not getting more than 700k hps and log score around 5-10.
I know the bosses mechanics and what to do.

My char score: warcraftlogs.com/character/eu/exodar/xelaholy

I'm reading and watching videos about holy paladin, but I'm doing something wrong because the numbers are the same in the combats.
I'm not looking for to have logs score 90-100, I'm only want to have a normal raid healing.

Thanks for help.

During downtime try to always be casting something, even if it's just Light of the Martyr while moving

With ilvl 613, make sure you're prioritizing:

- Critical Strike (for Holy Shock crits)
- Mastery (for close-range healing bonus)
- Versatility
- Haste

Hey! First off, good on you for wanting to improve. Healing can be one of the harder roles to measure and master, especially in raids where a lot depends on timing, coordination, and knowing when to hold back or go all in.

If your HPS seems stuck and you feel like you're doing the right things, the issue is probably in a few key areas. One common thing that holds healers back is cooldown usage. Don’t sit on big heals like Divine Toll, Avenging Wrath, or Daybreak—use them early and regularly, especially during heavy raid damage. Waiting too long to use them means you're missing out on their full potential over the course of a fight.

Also, make sure your Beacon of Light is always active on a tank or a player who’s consistently taking damage. If you’re running Beacon of Faith, both should be up and on targets that actually benefit from it. Losing that passive healing adds up fast.

When it comes to your rotation, Holy Shock should be one of your top spells in terms of usage—it’s fast, efficient, and helps build Holy Power. Word of Glory should follow, especially during big damage windows. If you find yourself casting Flash of Light too often, you may be relying on it as a crutch rather than building Holy Power and spending it effectively.

If you’re playing a Glimmer build, your positioning matters a lot. You need to be in melee range to use Crusader Strike and keep Glimmer spreading. Playing too far back limits your output and breaks the synergy of the build.

Lastly, check your mana usage. If you're ending fights with a lot of mana left, you're not healing as much as you could be. Use your tools—your job isn’t to finish a fight at full resources, it's to keep people alive throughout.

It sounds like you're doing the prep—reading guides and watching videos—which is great. Now it's about turning that knowledge into muscle memory and making sure you’re using all the tools available as often and effectively as you can

It's difficult to say, I can't get onto wlogs atm so can't have a deeper look, but in general, healing logs are a bit scuffed, especially in raids.

You may be pressing the correct buttons now, but the damage output in a normal or heroic raid is just not big enough to warrant high hps. When I raid, I usually suck ass at healing, as I basically may as well not be doing it, the other healers will be fine. Then we get to fights, or parts of fights that need healing and bam, I go top again.

Honestly, if I were you, I would find the m+ level I feel is a challenge to do, and do them. While gearing and with experience, you'll feel it becomes more and more second nature, and you instinctively know what to do and when. Granted, raid healing is slightly different, but a lot of the skills you get in m+, where it's only you healing that matters translates into the raids just fine.

And lastly, if the boss dies, imo you parsed as high as you needed. Healing parses are a strange thing to get stuck up on, but kudos for wanting to improve!
