Paladin · Holy · Row 5 of 7 · Single rank
Changed from Classic Active ability

Holy Shock sits in row 5 of the Paladin Holy tree. A talent tree is simply the grid of talents for one class role. It costs just one point. So the only question is whether opening its row fits your build.

Changed from Classic. This talent now works differently than in Classic, so read the ranks below before you spend any points.

160 Mana | 40 yd range | Instant | 10 sec cooldown

What Holy Shock does at each rank

A rank is one level of a talent. Every rank makes the effect a bit stronger. The list below uses the exact wording from the beta client, word for word.

  1. Rank 1: Blasts the target with Holy energy, causing 129 to 139 Holy damage to an enemy, or 110 to 118 healing to an ally.

How to reach Holy Shock

Row 5 opens after you spend 20 points in the earlier Holy rows. Level 30 is the earliest you can pick up Holy Shock.

Is Holy Shock worth the points?

One point gives you the full effect. The real cost is opening row 5. That is 20 points in the rows above, so take it when the talent or the picks it unlocks suits your build.

What it unlocks

Once Holy Shock is maxed, it opens these talents deeper in the tree: Divine Precision, Light's Vigil.
