The Holy tree contains talents focused on healing and caster-related buffs . Common Holy builds will invest at least 20 points into the tree. A typical 20 talent point investment should include Divine Intellect (5/5), Spiritual Focus (5/5), Healing Light (3/3), Improved Lay on Hands (2/2), and Illumination (5/5).

Dedicated raiding paladin healers will want to invest 41 points or more into the holy tree. Pick up Divine Favor along with Sanctified Light and Holy Power as synergy talents that will benefit Illumination to a much greater extent. Other useful talents as a healer include Light's Grace, Holy Guidance and Divine Illumination and Improved Blessing of Wisdom. At this point, the investment of 1 talent point in Holy Shock is simply a luxury and not really needed for a quality Holy talent build.

For most of the paladin tanks, zero point should be spent in Holy tree. Nevertheless, for those who are not going to maintank in raid but need to heal frequently, a semi-hybrid healing/tanking build can be used by putting around 15-20 points into the Holy tree healing related talents and the rest into Protection tree. Rarely, some tankadins may also max Improved Seal of Righteousness to squeeze out some extra bit of threat, usually at the expense of other mitigation talents. This is generally not recommended unless you are exceptionally well-geared and know what you are doing.
