With Divine Fury speeding up your casts, fight with spells instead of your wand. Cast Power Word: Shield before each pull and pull with Holy Fire. Then use Penance on cooldown and fill the gaps with Smite. Power in Light makes Smite and Penance hit harder on enemies with Holy Fire on them. Finish with your wand when mana runs short. Top up your mana every one or two enemies. Starting a fight half out of mana is dangerous.

Solo

• Staying healthyIf you lose health while fighting, use Renew to recover slowly.
• Between fightsIf you lost a lot, use one Greater Heal. It costs less mana than several small heals.
• Two enemiesPut Shadow Word: Pain on both, then kill one at a time.
• Several enemiesShield, then Psychic Scream, only with no other enemies nearby. Before 28 only two enemies flee. Enemies with Shadow Word: Pain on them may break free.
• In troubleHold on with Flash Heal. It is fast but expensive.

Party

Protect your party with shields and heals, and save your mana.

• ShieldsCast Power Word: Shield before damage lands. You can't shield a target again while Weakened Soul is on it, so alternate it with heals.
• Main healGreater Heal is your main heal. It heals a lot per mana and has a long cast, so start early.
• Heal ranksLower ranks heal less per mana. Only use them to avoid overhealing.
• Urgent healFlash Heal is fast but heals less per mana than your main heal. Use it only when urgent.
• Healing on the moveRenew is instant, so you can put it on the tank while moving. It heals less per mana than your main heal.
• Group healingUse Prayer of Healing when the whole party is hurt. If only some are hurt, single-target heals cost less mana.
• Instant healPenance heals more per mana than your main heal. Use it on a hurt ally whenever it is ready.
• Grouped upWhen the party is hurt and grouped within 10 yards, use Holy Nova. It causes no threat but costs a lot of mana.
• Shielding severalSoul Warding removes the shield cooldown. When enemies scatter, shield several allies in a row.
• ManaWhen the party is stable, stop casting and help with your wand. Drink between pulls.
• Saving manaUse Inner Focus before an expensive heal so that heal costs no mana.
• DispelsRemove harmful magic from your allies with Dispel Magic.
• Disease removalRemove diseases from your allies with Abolish Disease.
• Stopping fearPut Fear Ward on the tank before enemies that use Fear.
• Holding undeadAgainst many undead, hold one with Shackle Undead. Damage breaks it.
• ThreatHeals draw threat. Use Fade as soon as an enemy turns on you.
• Reviving alliesAfter a fight, bring back the fallen with Resurrection.
