Holy Paladin rotation assistant for World of Warcraft
Beacon-aware healing that knows which health bar is the emergency.
Rice Rotations reads your Holy Paladin from the game picture, decides which ability comes next, and presses the key for it from a second PC or a virtual machine. It runs on World of Warcraft Midnight retail and on Mists of Pandaria Classic, and the profile is included in the same subscription as the other thirty-nine specializations.
How the Holy Paladin profile plays
Holy Paladin is Holy Power plus Holy Shock cadence. Rice keeps Holy Shock off cooldown, spends Holy Power on Word of Glory or Light of Dawn depending on whether one person or the group is hurt, and keeps Judgment and Crusader Strike contributing instead of standing still doing nothing.
Healing is triage under time pressure. Rice watches the health of the group on screen, keeps your filler and your efficient heals flowing, saves the strong cooldown for the damage event instead of dumping it early, and covers dispels so a bad debuff does not sit for four seconds while you are moving.
The profile reacts to the pull instead of replaying a fixed list: interrupts fire on casts that matter, dispels go out when a debuff lands, and cooldowns are held for the burst window rather than used the moment they come up. Dozens of Holy Paladin settings decide how aggressive or how conservative that behaviour is, so a raid night and a Mythic+ push can use different profiles of the same spec.
Cooldowns and burst windows
Avenging Wrath is opened into a real damage window, Divine Toll is spent where it hits several injured targets, Aura Mastery is saved for the magic damage event and Lay on Hands is used before the tank dies rather than after.
What the Holy Paladin rotation handles
- Holy Shock kept on cooldown, Holy Power spent correctly
- Word of Glory versus Light of Dawn chosen from group health
- Avenging Wrath and Divine Toll spent in damage windows
- Cleanse dispels, Aura Mastery and Lay on Hands when they are needed
Raid, Mythic+ and the rest
Raid plays the ramp with Beacons and Radiance before the damage. In Mythic+ it stays reactive on the tank and keeps damage flowing between heals, which is where a lot of Holy Paladin throughput actually comes from.
Raid nights, Mythic+ keystones, delves, world content and levelling alts. Rice Rotations is built and tuned for PvE, so there are no arena or battleground profiles. The desktop client is Windows only.
Setup and safety
Nothing is attached to the game: there is no injection, no memory reading and no unlocker. Rice runs on a second PC or a virtual machine, reads your gaming PC as a video stream and sends keystrokes back, so the machine running World of Warcraft only ever sees keyboard input arriving.
- Built and tuned for PvE. No arena or battleground profiles.
- Midnight retail is supported.
- Classic is Mists of Pandaria only, so no Era, no Wrath, no other ruleset.
Holy Paladin questions
- Does it keep doing damage while healing?
- Yes. Judgment and Crusader Strike are part of the priority, which matters both for damage and for the healing that comes off them.
- Does it handle Beacons?
- Beacon upkeep is configurable so you choose the targets and the profile keeps them applied.
