This is the speedrun version of WingsIsUp with only the most important information for the Midnight Season 2 meta builds and playstyle. Due to my availability being largely consumed by EllesmereUI currently, the full version of WingsIsUp will be unavailable unless Hpal becomes meta or some of my time frees up. Okay now onto the quickview guide. MY NAME IS ELLESMERE HERE'S MY RIO PROFILE, HERE'S MY STREAM, AND HERE'S HOW TO PLAY HPAL IN MIDNIGHT SEASON 2:
Midnight Season 2 Guide
Meta Mythic+ Build
FAST PACED, INSTANT CAST, MASSIVE SPOT HEALING
Copy Talent String
Full Build ImageCore Healing Spells
Instant Cast ST heal // Costs 3 Holy Power (HP)
One of our two core healing spenders. Press whenever you have 3+ Holy Power and someone needs priority healing.
Instant Cast AoE heal // Costs 3 Holy Power (HP)
Our other core healing spender. Press whenever you have 3+ Holy Power and no one is significantly more injured than others.
Instant Cast Heal/Damage // Generates 1 HP
Core Holy Power builder on a 2 charge system. Press on CD when not capped on Holy Power.
Quick Spot Heal // Instant w/ Infusion
Great spot heal with infusion. Never press without Infusion of Light unless Judgment and HS are both on cooldown and you have no holy power. Better to use on allies with beacon in this build.
Hard Cast ST Heal // High Mana Cost
This is our largest on demand spot heal, but it comes at a very high mana cost so it has to be used wisely.
Instant Cast AoE Heal // Generates 1-5 HP
On demand AoE heal that also gives us a free HP spender. Press on CD but make sure you don't overcap Holy Power on use. Don't worry about timing it with wings or solar wrath or whatever, you're way overcomplicating things, just press on CD.
Rotation Filler Spells
Deals ST damage // Generates 1-2 HP // Drops extra Consecrations
Your other core rotational Holy Power builder besides Holy Shock. Press on CD when not capped on Holy Power. Remember this generates 2 HP with infusion.
Deals AoE + ST damage // Costs 3 Holy Power (HP)
Core damage spender, use when you don't need your Holy Power for healing. Remember it has a very short melee range and is directional, so aim and position well.
Stat Priority
Haste (~25%)
Vers / Crit / Mastery
Get ~25% haste baseline first, nothing else matters.
Vers for high keys, Mastery for healing, Crit as a filler.
Trinkets
Soulcoiler Ritual Vessel
Wavecaller's Seastone
This trinket is insanely OP for keys, get it ASAP.
Strong stat stick, Gebbo's Bottomless Bag is a good alternative option if you can't get this.
Embellishments
Darkmoon Sigil: Hunt
Arcanoweave Lining
Big secondary stat procs.
Easy second embellishment fill.
Tier Set Gameplay
2 Set
4 Set
This will drive our playstyle this season, making strong use of infusion on Flash of Light, especially within Virtue windows.
This will help keep infusion procs flowing, while also letting us weave in Holy Light whenever the procs run dry.
Cooldown Usage
1. Divine Toll on CD (don't overcap HP).
2. Wings as much as possible but be a little more reserved than in previous seasons since we have less cooldown power overall.
3. Aura Mastery now also casts divine toll, finally making it a real healing cooldown in M+. Use it if you need throughput but don't have wings or DT.
3. Bubble if big group damage is coming and you don't have any throughput. Pair with Sac if available. 4. Use LoH / Sac for spot healing help liberally, everyone always underuses these.
