Why Holy Paladin?
If you’re interested in a healing specialization that’s less centered around heavy direct healing and has a variety of defensive cooldowns to rotate through, Holy Paladin may interest you in Mists of Pandaria Classic.
This is primarily due to the addition of Clemency, granting Paladins double the amount of CDs with an extra charge on Hand of Protection, Sacrifice, Freedom, and much more.
A huge part of playing Paladin in this expansion is knowing how to spread out all of your CDs. Anyone can pick up Paladin, press every cooldown at once, and survive for 30 seconds, but the very best players are masters of cooldown rotation.
For better or worse, Holy Paladin is more of a passive healer in Mists of Pandaria. This is the era of Mage–Druid and Lock–Shaman and you are very vulnerable to Crowd Control, which generally means staying in the back line and making precise coordinated decisions with positioning.
Of course there will be moments to play a bit offensive, especially thanks to the addition of Fist of Justice, which gives Hammer of Justice a 20 yard range and a 30 second cooldown.
When it comes to actually healing, Holy Paladins maintain their classic “builder-spender” system aiming to maximize Holy Power generation in order to be spent on a brand new spell: Eternal Flame.
