Flash of Light is designed to be the Holy Paladin's quick cast heal. It is considerably faster than 
[Holy Light] or Divine Light, and is more powerful than [Holy Light], but is the least efficient of the three spells. A Holy Paladin who casts Flash of Light too much risks running out of mana.
Rank table
Flash of Light is trained at level 16 for 40
. Starting with patch 4.0.1, all spells automatically scale with character level, becoming more powerful each time a character gains a new level. The following table lists the base power of Flash of Light at various levels, including points at which the spell becomes significantly more powerful:
| Level | Value |
|---|---|
| 16 | 238 - 266 |
| 20 | 273 - 305 |
| 30 | 404 - 452 |
| 40 | 644 - 722 |
| 50 | 947 - 1061 |
| 57 | 1196–1340 |
| 58 | 2466–2766 |
| 60 | 2865 - 3213 |
| 70 | 3754 - 4210 |
| 80 | 4764 - 5344 |
Tips & Tricks
Flash of Light is a fast but expensive heal. It should only be used when speed is the most important consideration (ie someone is about to die, and won't live long enough for Divine Light or Holy Light to go off) and when 
[Holy Shock] is not available.
Improvements
Talents and spells
- [Beacon of Light]: The target becomes a Beacon of Light to all members of your party or raid within a 60 yard radius. Each heal you cast on party or raid members will also heal the Beacon for 50% of the amount healed. Only one target can be the Beacon of Light at a time. Lasts 1 min.
- [Conviction]: Gives you a 3% bonus to damage and healing for 15 sec after causing a critical effect from a weapon swing, spell, or ability. This effect stacks up to 3 times.
- [Divinity]: Increases all healing done to and by you by 2/4/6%
[Daybreak]: Your Flash of Light, Holy Light and Divine Light have a 10/20% chance to make your next Holy Shock not trigger a cooldown if used within 12 sec.- [Protector of the Innocent]: Casting a targeted heal on any target, including yourself, also heals you for X.
- [Speed of Light]: Casting Holy Shock grants 10/20/30% spell haste for your next Flash of Light, Holy Light or Divine Light, and casting Holy Radiance grants you 20/40/60% movement speed for 4 sec. Also lowers the cooldown on Holy Radiance by 30 sec at all times.
- [Tower of Radiance]: Healing the target of your Beacon of Light with Flash of Light, Holy Light or Divine Light has a 33/66/100% chance to generate a charge of Holy Power.
Items
- Sets
- Both [Gladiator's Lamellar Gauntlets] and [Gladiator's Ornamented Gloves] (Arena class rewards) increase the critical effect chance of Flash of Light by 2%.
- The Tier 3 Paladin Set, Redemption Armor, includes a 6-piece set bonus of "Your Flash of Light and Holy Light spells have a chance to imbue your target with Holy Power."
- The Holy-centric Tier 6 Paladin Armor Set Lightbringer Raiment includes a 4-set bonus that increases the healing from your Flash of Light ability by 5%.
