Tracks every enemy CC and DR — Holy Paladin is typically the kill target in arena, and knowing when enemy stun DRs reset on your own frame is as important as tracking what CCs your DPS partners are landing on enemy targets to coordinate Hammer of Justice and Repentance.

Shows enemy offensive CDs the instant they activate — as Holy Paladin you need to front-load defensives and externals on teammates before the burst lands. Knowing when Avenging Wrath, Combustion, or Metamorphosis is active lets you pre-rotate Blessing of Sacrifice and Aura Mastery rather than reacting after the first hit.

Makes large stun and CC icons visible on ally frames — Holy Paladin needs to see when teammates are CC'd to flash Blessing of Freedom at the right moment. BigDebuffs makes that stun state readable instantly so your Freedom lands at the stun's trailing edge, not after it's expired.

Alerts when your healing target has an absorption that makes casting into them wasteful — Holy Paladin's Holy Light and Flash of Light cast time is precious GCD time during heavy damage phases, and DontCast prevents wasted casts when an overshield covers the damage incoming.

Per-spell healing breakdown — for Holy Paladin, the Beacon of Light contribution column is the key metric, which should account for 15–25% of your total healing as a passive mirror of your direct heals. Overheal on Word of Glory also shows whether you're spending Holy Power too early instead of holding for higher-priority targets.

Healer-focused healing frames with built-in click-casting — bind Holy Shock to left-click and Word of Glory to right-click so every GCD is a mouse click on the lowest-health frame without tab-targeting.

For Holy Paladin specifically, VuhDo handles healing frames better with built-in Beacon of Light tracking, Dominos covers action bars, and Clicked handles click-casting for Grid2 users — all with less setup overhead.

Cast bars and debuff icons on enemy nameplates — shows which enemy is casting something dangerous and when it will land, so you can queue Word of Glory on the target before the hit rather than after. Knowing what is incoming also helps you time Aura Mastery against the biggest hits instead of spending it reactively.

Shows class icons on enemy nameplates so you identify which enemies to Repentance or direct Hammer of Justice at in Battlegrounds. CC glow confirms your Repentance landing so you can start a Consecration or burst heal window without monitoring the target's unit frame.

Tracks group cooldowns from the combat log — for Holy Paladin, primary use is knowing when personal defensives across the group have been spent so you can judge when Aura Mastery needs to land now rather than waiting. Also tracks Blessing of Sacrifice timing so your externals land on the player taking the most incoming pressure rather than whoever you happen to be targeting.

Configurable timers for your major cooldowns on screen. For Holy Paladin, keeps Aura Mastery and Avenging Wrath (both 3-minute) prominent so you never miss the Aura Mastery window during the hardest incoming damage while focused on your healing frames.

Provides a large, repositionable Holy Power display with configurable colour that you can park next to your healing frames — the default UI shows Holy Power as small orbs that are easy to lose track of under pressure. At 3+ Holy Power Word of Glory becomes more efficient than holding; having the count immediately visible closes the decision delay.

Only needed if you use Grid2 — bind Holy Shock, Word of Glory, and Beacon of Light swaps to mouse button and modifier combinations on any unit frame for mouseover click-casting. VuhDo has this built in, so skip it if you use VuhDo.
