How to play it

  • Oath of Light on the main tank before the pull: it scales Holy Light on that one ally for 5 minutes.
  • Holy Shock on cooldown for Infusion of Light procs, then a fast Holy Light. Light's Vigil makes the next Holy Shock on the target free.
  • Divine Intellect and Toughness from Protection give mana and survivability; Templar's Bulwark is a self-absorb for 100% of your health.
