Notes[]
During the Burning Crusade expansion, "Flash of Light spam" was a popular style of healing for holy paladins in PvE. During the early phases of Wrath of the Lich King Flash spam fell out of fashion due to the nearly unlimited mana made possible by Divine Plea and Illumination. As the expansion progressed, there were several nerfs to Paladin mana regeneration. With the mana nerfs, the increased availability of high spell power gear, and increased availability of sockets allowing further spell power increases, Flash of Light spamming re-emerged in PvE healing. There is considerable disagreement over whether Flash of Light spamming is sufficient for the tank healing niche of Holy Paladins in raids, but it appears some paladins are using it successfully.
