When you get to a certain keylevel, Faith in the Light is straight up required to stay alive - since you can fairly easily achieve 100 % spell block chance with the 30 %, 10 % from Barricade of Faith and a certain amount of Mastery (around 10k). If you don't have these, abilities such as the tankbuster on Fire Elementals in Grim Batol or first boss in City of Threads simply occur too often to have a large enough defensive for each of them. Talents such as the Consecration modifiers and Inmost Light for Eye of Tyr are all not really that needed, so even for those playing lower keys, I highly suggest getting used to tracking your block chance and practicing using WoG + AS in preparation for large tank busters, it'll help you immensely if you hope to push higher.
Good video, althrough I wouldn't say these talents are optimal right now I would also add: don't really be afraid of using Divine Shield on CD when you need a defensive or if you just want to skip a mechanic. With "Unbreakable spirit", "Uther's Councel" and "Resolute Defender" talents, your bubble is on 2.5 min cooldown and it becoming lower by 2 seconds every time you consume your holy power, so it's pretty much available every other fight or so. With bubble you can skip certain boss mechanics as well, like you can skip every other singularity on the last ara kara boss (if you want to skip it for whatever reason) or you can almost entirely skip every other the mace phase on Grim Batol second boss (meaning it won't leave a lot of puddles on the ground making it easier for you team). Or well you can just use it against tank busters. Just be mindful of Forbearance debuff Also while you chose Improved Ardent defender talent I would say Blessing of Spellwarding can literally save you or a party member and can be considered as a defensive for certain pulls (like grim batol)
You should also be taking the talent causing it to ignore forbearance. That lets you use LoH/BoS before your bubble and you still have it as an "oh shit"
Didn’t realize that paladin had so many defensive abilities! As always, I really appreciate you adding the “general openers” part to these videos. It really helps new players get an idea of what their rotations should be.
For Opening Rotation: Spam blessed hammer before pull so you have Holy Power generated before pull and immediately proc Shield of Righteous after casting Avenger's Shield since Shield of Righteous is off Global Cooldown (GCD).
If GCDs allow, (Shield of Righteous has sufficient time to remain active) use Avenging Wrath after Consecration is placed and before additional Judgement and Divine Toll. This ensures significant more usage of damage buff and HOLY POWER generation bonuses
So there must be a better UI that can be used? I always struggled with tracking cool downs on things. Also is there a mod out there that adds a timer for when HOLY POWER drops off. I don't know what the timer is but you loose holy power if you don't use it right?
Their are soooo many UIs out there. Elvui is a great one for basic UI stuff, but using weakauras which can be found on the wago.com is a wayyy better way to trask ur CDs

WoG +AS? What’s AS?
top tier advice for once newer players get higher keys!

yeah the paladin talents are kinda wack right now, Tried making it as defensive as i could without it being negative dmg haha
also 10/10 bonus info for this video!
I really have to get used to using bubble more aggressively - you made very valid points on the CD reduction.
bubble is available every other pack** in higher keys

You're only talking about Consecration as a DPS Thing, Consecration is mainly used for your defensive, bc of your mastery
Commandment ABC: Always Be in Consecration
