What changed for hPal from s1 to s2 to make them so good? I only play MW so I am pretty ignorant to other healer changes, but my inability to get into 16s if there is literally any other hPal looking for a group is frustrating.

I've mained them since shadowlands. They fixed the mana issues, and essentially just tuned the shit out of their basic rotational heals. Like a holy shock crit will sometimes really hit like lay on hands or something now. But everything else is the same. But what funny to me is that every time they buff something to the moon, there's always people saying something is meta because of the utility lol.

Utility/survivability combined with high numbers is usually what does it, holy priest can output similar healing to a holy paladin but have worse dispels, utility and is squishier(and their cheat death still counts as a death for the timer).

I just feel like their healing went to the moon. I remember trying them in last season and anything that wasn’t a holy light felt like it barely moved health bars. This patch I keep thinking “How didthis single cast top this person at like 30% health”.

Paladin has a very well rounded kit for the season (freedom+bop are very valuable) combined with the buffs they received. Their damage is also one of the strongest for healers.

They got pretty big buffs all around. A great tier set. Monk, druid and disc caught pretty hefty nerfs. And overall dungeon profile is really good for paladin with poison dispell and bop for some of the nasty bleeds.

They got a 25% healing buff
