Ladies and gentlemen of the holy paladin community… hello.
You are probably all caught up on this stuff, but since it was a lingering issue throughout the Pandaria beta and well into live, I thought I’d actually update here. Thanks to Ophelie’s post that reminded me I hadn’t updated the situation!
Shortly after 5.1 came out, I sent a note to Jacii, a holy paladin in Apotheosis. I was like, “dude, can you please do me a favour and see if they actually fixed Holy Avenger like GC promised they would?”
He happily obliged, for which I thanked him profusely. Then I got caught up in holidays and family and junk.
So here, now, are the results of Jacii’s testing:
Holy Avenger will now grant 30% extra healing to Flash of Light and Divine Light on the Beacon of Light target while active.
Additionally, they will continue to give you three Holy Power when benefiting from Tower of Radiance, when Holy Avenger is active.
Here are the averages of about 10 casts WITHOUT Holy Avenger active:
Holy Shock – 34,755
Holy Radiance – 25,674
Flash of Light – 46,791
Divine Light – 62,204
And here they are WITH Holy Avenger active:
Holy Shock – 45,147
Holy Radiance – 33,421
Flash of Light – 60,999
Divine Light – 80,516
Jacii kindly also included the percentage differences, which means I don’t have to do math. Yay!
Holy Shock – 29.90%
Holy Radiance – 30.17%
Flash of Light – 30.36%
Divine Light – 29.44%
Obviously, the offsets here and there are due to heals healing for a RANGE of healing and not always, say, 35k, 25k, 47k and 62k. It seems as though Holy Avenger now properly grants 30% extra healing to all heals that grant Holy Power, as the tooltip indicates! Yay!

Anyhow, my apologies to being late on this, but that pesky “real life” thing tends to get in the way an awful lot. :) Thanks again to Jacii from Apotheosis for getting me the info (like, six weeks ago) and thanks again to Ophelie for reminding me, however unintentionally. ;)
Lastly, Majik and I are still plotting planning our grand finale episode of Blessing of Frost. We’re looking for YOUR comments on what you liked best about Episodes 43-74! Recording will likely occur in early February, so get your comments in now! Tweet us @kurnmogh and @majjity or email us at podcast [at] blessingoffrost [dot] com. :)
