Are you referring to the lack of PvP?
For PvM there seems quite a lot of scope for good strategic and tactical thinking to get the most out of a Holy Shock build
Going Zeal and melee on one weapon switch and ranged on the other seems wise
Primary aura is Holy Shock and aura flashing is effectively ended but some lesser auras might be useful. Cleansing and Prayer are not exciting but a little Meditation would support a low level FOH (much boosted by the Holy Shock). Redemption is one I'm not a great fan of - it always seems quicker to tp to town and visit the healer
Safety elements are important: knockback, hcmtf, a Holy Freeze merc or cold Iron Wolf seem quite useful. Crafted Hitpower gloves provide Knockback
Positioning is vital as are decisions about when to advance and how hard to set Players X to if that is available
