Holy Shock is an instant Holy paladin talent that can be used to heal a friendly target or deal Holy direct damage to an enemy.
Tips and tactics[]
- Holy Shock is the second cheapest healing spell available to the Holy Paladin, and is significantly stronger and faster than
[Holy Light]. With only a 9 second cooldown, it should be used often for both power and efficiency. - [Infusion of Light] grant you specific benefits following a successful critical cast of Holy Shock.
Trivia[]
- In Warcraft III, the Paladin hero's Holy Light spell healed friendly living units and damaged enemy undead units. Considering this, some may view Holy Shock as a variation of WC3's Holy Light.
- Holy Shock is one of Uther's passive Talents in Heroes of the Storm, allowing him to use Holy Light to damage enemies.
