Paladin · Holy · Row 1 of 7 · 2 ranks
NEW in Forever
Improved Holy Strike sits in row 1 of the Paladin Holy tree. A talent tree is simply the grid of talents for one class role. It can take up to 2 points. Max it fully, or put in a few points just to open the rows below.
New in Forever. This talent never existed in Classic, so don't go looking for an old version to compare. There is none.
What Improved Holy Strike 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.
- Rank 1: Reduces the cooldown of your Holy Strike ability by 1 sec.
- Rank 2: Reduces the cooldown of your Holy Strike ability by 2 sec.
How to reach Improved Holy Strike
Row 1 opens after you spend 0 points in the earlier Holy rows. Level 10 is the earliest you can pick up Improved Holy Strike.
Is Improved Holy Strike worth the points?
Every rank makes the effect stronger, so putting in a few points while leveling is totally fine. Max it when the final rank is the heart of your endgame build. And if you only need it as a stepping stone, no shame in stopping early.
