Counterplay
Open cheat sheetAvenging Wrath burst, and Divine Shield wasting your offensive cooldowns. Hammer of Justice into Wake of Ashes is the kill.
Kick
Interrupt Repentance first if they talented it — a free incapacitate sets Avenging Wrath. Kick Holy Light only when Repentance is down. Otherwise save the kick for their healer.
Watch for
Avenging Wrath overlapping Wake of Ashes after Hammer of Justice is their kill. They Divine Shield after the dump. Expect Blessing of Protection on the kill target as you connect.
Biggest mistake
Dumping your offensive cooldowns into Divine Shield, or meleeing a Blessing of Protection instead of swapping.
Important abilities
Divine Shield defensive
Full immunity. Don't blow CDs; look for bubble-hearth / bubble-rest.
Wake of Ashes offensive
Wings setup ability. Stun or line the wake.
