[MECHANICS] Plate Specialization - forces you to wear only plate items in order to recieve that bonus.
[MECHANICS] Mastery rating - points in Mastery replaces the old Sacred Shield.

[HEAL] Flash of Light - decent heal, fast, good for fake casting, but consumes lots of mana.
[HEAL] Holy Shock - almost free, on every crit reduces cast time for Divine Light, use it every 6 s.
[HEAL] Word of Glory - costs 1-3 HP.
[HEAL] Divine Light - recommeded to be used when you crit with Holy Shock because it has big cast time.
[HEAL] Guardian of the Ancient Kings - an invulnerable guardian, multiplies your next 5 heals, has big cd, don't waste it, use only if you can't handle the healing.

4. Tips & Tricks






MOBILITY :


- Positioning is most important. Take advantage of LoS and OUT OF RANGE.
- Run from melee classes. They have short range at CC's.
- Max. range from healers / casters. Keep /focus and pay attention on them, regardless of what you are doing.
- LOS when something is casted on you. The fact that you avoid CC's and you have powerfull heals simplifies the fight.
- Don't let the healers to drink. Keep them in combat with Taunt / Judgement.
- Speed of Light+H. Radiance to CC faster, and get in LOS. Costs alot of mana, so use it wisely.


CC BREAKER :


- Fake-casting !
- Sacrifice when you are about to get CC'd which breakes if you get dmg. Taunt on pets is good too.
- Turn Evil / Holy Wrath on warlock / dks pets / dk with Lichborne on 'em.
- Aura Mastery vs full silence. If you take care of their CD's, you'd know when to use it.
- Cleanse / Freedom, on your partners.


ASSIST :


- Constantly deal damage on target.
- Cleanse / Freedom when needed on partners to make pressure / kill something.
- Stun / Rebuke at low hp. Keep them for the right moment.
- Communicate on skype with partners, pay attention on DR (diminishing returns) / their CC's so they won't overlay meaningless.



LOS = Line of Sight
CC = Crowd Control
Out of Range = is when you are too far away from someone and they can't cast any spell
