Blessings Sun Cleric - Dungeons
Build Guide
Overview
Stance Dancing allows you to keep up with most DPS - especially after you add in Blessing of Absolution to your own dps !
This is a faster paced playstyle if you want to do as much dps as possible while providing your groups with a ton of healing.
Talents
Change out Sanctified, and Faith for Everglow, and Sunbeams for Raids.
I don't think Cultivate Divinity + Empowered Holy Form is worth it because you'll probably not be casting Illumination a lot.
You can also avoid going down Glare and take more survivability talents if you want.
With more Haste - Gateway to Heaven becomes more attractive than Blazing Chariot - then your whole goal is to get in and out of Dawn as fast as possible. Though if you prefer a slightly slower playstyle then Blazing Chariot is still great !
Rotation
You'll want to be stance dancing as much as possible !
Solar Invocation: Conquest should be used on cooldown, and I think it's optimal to consume your Dawn stacks every time you need mana.
The rotation should be something like:
Vow of Grace + Filler until 20 Solar Power -> Vow of Dawn + Dawn -> Sunflare / Filler -> Vow of Grace + Dawn -> Conquest -> Repeat
Your goal isn't to use all your stacks, but to maintain your mana as much as possible to keep spamming Sunflares inside of Vow of Dawn. Stance dancing, and consuming your stacks early - as long as Conquest is up, you'll be back inside of Dawn just as quickly as you left it.
You rarely ever want to be building your own Solar Power, and that's why you always want to rely on Vow of Grace.
I've only been swapping between Vow of Grace and Vow of Dawn mainly, Radiance is only good for the Dawn effect.
Once you've picked up Dawnfall you can swap into Vow of Grace to get your mana back to full if you're ever oom, but try to get the full duration out of it. Alternatively you can start with Vow of Dawn and Sunflare spam during Dawnfall then the last ~5 seconds or as everything is beginning to die, swap to Vow of Grace for full mana.
Stand in melee to get as much Gavel of Grace, Judgement Day, and Radiance off as possible.
Gear / BiS
This is the gear I'll be going for once I hit 60: https://coa.bisbeard.com/b/9Zegnfw8udGPVt
Haste should be incredibly bonkers to get in and out of Dawn or use its stacks, and to cast Sunflares faster

Begin putting points into Ancient Rites so you have more mana to play with.

You can go towards Blazing Chariot, or Glaring Rays.
Suncharged and Devoted to the Light will be competing - if you want more damage go the former, and if you're struggling with mana go the latter. Guiding Glow should be your last point

Glaring Rays -> Guidance: Touch of Light -> Saviour; Final Vows -> Glare -> Unbreakable Focus
Macros
I've been using this for Blessing of Absolution so I don't have to mouseover the tank every time, it's definitely increased my DPS a lot since doing so:
#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover, help][help][@player] Bless
/focus [@mouseover, help][help][@player]
#showtooltip
/cast [@focus] Blessing of Absolution
If you don't want the Focus Target on your screen - with Move Anything make sure to make the frame smaller, then drag it into the top corner because the frame will jump scare you sometimes.
There's a weird bug with the Focus Target macro or frame where you won't be able to cast Blessing of Absolution again until you recast Bless on the Tank. This seems to only happen when you try to refresh Bless during combat.
Conquest Macro:
#showtooltip Solar Invocation: Conquest
/cast Radiant Conversion
/cast Solar Invocation: Conquest
This should end your Dawn, and let you cast Conquest at the same time since Dawn isn't on the GCD. There's been many times where I've accidentally hit Conquest while I was still inside of Dawn, and this macro should fix that !
Stance Macros:
#showtooltip Vow of Radiance
/cast Vow of Radiance
/cast Dawn
#showtooltip Vow of Dawn
/cast Vow of Dawn
/cast Dawn
#showtooltip Vow of Grace
/cast Vow of Grace
/cast Dawn
These will 100% get messy if you're not careful. You should still have Dawn on a comfortable bind on your action bars.
Tips
During dungeons it's not uncommon for you to go full Dps -> Regen -> Dps -> Regen - some packs you'll only get to do 400 damage while you're spamming your single target Sunflare in Vow of Grace, and that's okay ! You don't want your group to stop for you.
You also won't always have the best groups to play in, so in those it's safer to stay inside of Vow of Grace, while occasionally finding windows to pop into Vow of Dawn. At minimum you should be swapping stances to use Horusath Blast as an AoE.
