Midnight Patch 12.0.5 Quickview
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.
Hard Cast ST Heal // High Mana Cost
This is our largest spammable / on demand spot heal, but it comes at a very high mana cost so it has to be used smartly.
Quick Spot Heal // Instant w/ Infusion
Great spot heal with infusion. Never press without unless Judgment and HS are both on cooldown and you have no holy power. Better when you press on allies with beacon in this build.
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.

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.
