Holy Paladin Healing Nerub-ar Palace Raid Guide — The War Within (11.0.5)

Note that it is early days and that this section will be far more fleshed out as the Season progresses and cool tricks and tips are found.

• You may want to defensive if you are at low HP when Hungering Bellows happens.

• Generally, you can aim to use cooldowns such as Avenging Wrath and Aura Mastery during Hungering Bellows casts. Divine Toll can be used as much as possible.

• There are likely opportunities to use Divine Shield to ignore/remove certain mechanics such as Digestive Acid. Keep in mind that doing so would likely still trigger the AoE damage to nearby players, meaning you should only use your Bubble when away from others. Once the boss is testable on live, more information will be added/edited.

• Defensive cooldowns such as Divine Protection should be used to help reduce the damage intake of Bloodcurdle on Mythic difficulty.

• Use as much as possible.

• Make sure to keep players with the Bloodcurdle debuffs healthy before they explode to prevent unnecessary deaths. Blessing of Sacrifice can also be used on these players if they are very low.
• When players are dealing with the Gruesome Disgorge mechanic, they will be taking damage over time, make sure you keep them healthy if you are responsible for healing the The Unseeming realm.

• As you run to place your Cosmic Simulacrum, you may want to use a defensive if you are at low HP. If you are not dealing with this mechanic, instead, ensure that you are keeping an eye on players with it to help them stay healthy.

• Use as much as possible.

• The damage of Shattering Sweep reduces with distance, meaning that you may want to disconnect from Melee and run far away to help reduce your damage taken.

• If you are low on HP as Erosive Spray is going out, consider using a defensive.

• Use as much as possible; avoid using Avenging Wrath when moving across the platform. Ideally, it should be used when your group is stacked together after each movement phase.
• Aura Mastery can be used to deal with Spinneret's Strands or Erosive Spray.

• Nothing fancy here yet, but do check back in after the Season has been out for a couple of weeks to see if any tricks or tips have been found.

• Because Volatile Concoction deals increased damage the more HP you are missing, so I strongly recommend using a defensive if you are at low HP when it expires.

• In general, this boss can have a very high damage output; once more about it has been tested, cooldown recommendations will be updated, but aim for as much usage as possible.

• Dropping below 10% can result in you being executed by the boss; it is important you manage defensives well and keep an eye out for very low-health players.
• Dodging is extremely important in this fight, but also don't be afraid to use Divine Shield when in tricky situations where you can't avoid it.

• Very high damage occurs early in the fight; you will want to make sure to use your CDs early on and then relatively off cooldown.

• Queensbane will deal a heavy amount of damage to players with it. You need to prioritize healing on them at all times and do not be afraid to use Blessing of Sacrifice.
• Divine Shield will cause your orbs to spawn early.

In general we recommend the Lightsmith Avenging Crusader build. While this offers significantly less spot-healing, it adds a ton of damage that can make the damage check a bit easier to manage, especially if you are following the common 5 heal strategy. If your guild is 4 healing or struggling to heal players with Queensbane, it is recommended that you swap to the standard Herald of the Sun melee build.

• Nothing specific to note yet.

• Aura Mastery will be useful in dealing with the bosses charge mechanic, otherwise you can aim to use your CDs as much as possible, generally when soaking is happening.

• This fight will split you into groups of 10 players, meaning that small group healing becomes much more important. Beacon of Virtue being able to heal nearly half of your assigned group is likely to be very powerful in keeping your side alive.

• If your raid makes mistakes and stacks Frothy Toxin to anythin above 3-4 stacks, you will want to use Divine Protection to ensure you live the explosion. In addition, you may want to use Aura Mastery during these moments to help keep the raid alive.
• Gloom Touch will deal a ton of damage to the raid and to the healers it is on. You will want to make sure you use Divine Protection when you have this debuff. Be careful not to Divine Shield otherwise it will explode the debuff early. If you do not get the debuff, you may want to use Blessing of Sacrifice on a healer who did get it, that way they take significantly less damage.

• Generally you can use Avenging Wrath early into the pull and then have it also come off cooldown near the end of Phase 1 when the raid is taking heavy damage. This will allow you to get heavy damage out on pull through Blessing of Summer while also helping to heal off the first Feast mechanic.
• Aura Mastery can be used anytime you gain heavy stacks of Frothy Toxin. If you do not end up using it at some point during Phase 1, you can generally get good value out of it on a set of webs near the end of the phase.

• Feast will put a very large healing absorb on the tank. It is important that you focus heal them and break this effect as soon as possible, otherwise they may just die from not being healed. If you find your raid group to really struggle with this mechanic, you could opt into Beacon of Faith, or a standard caster build in order to gain more tank healing at the expense of overall healing.
• Blessing of Freedom can be used to immune the Silken Tomb effect. Keep in mind that if you do decide to do this, you will want to position further away from the raid in order to not block anyone off or spawn bad pools of webs.
• Gloom Touch will target healers and needs to be dispelled. Each time it is dispelled the raid will take large amounts of damage. It is important that you only dispel when full health, and you do not dispel at the same time that the boss attempts to pull you off the platform.
