Introduction
Welcome to the Dragonflight Guide for Holy Paladin. I’m Bryanz, a healer in Method. I have been playing WoW since WotLK and have fallen in love with Holy Paladin ever since. I started raiding Hardcore in Battle for Azeroth in Uldir and joined Method during the Sanctum of Domination Farm.
